As I said in this General Questions thread I got a [Terrier/Poodle mix](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=460737), or at least what the shelter told me.

Right now he’s sleeping on the floor. He got neutered and has been adopted out, so this has been a busy couple of days for him. He’s really shy, so I’m hoping after a couple of weeks he becomes a little more outgoing, once he gets used to everything. I rather like him. I can’t get him groomed for about ten days because of his stitches. He [has](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f380/nemph99/IMAG0052.jpg) [dreadlocks](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f380/nemph99/IMAG0051.jpg).

I rather think he’s absolutely [adorable](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f380/nemph99/IMAG0050.jpg).

His name is Pintsize. And yes, yes I am a fan of [Questionable Content](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=384). It was either Pintsize or Melvin.

Hooray! Congratulations. Yes, he looks somewhat like my crew. They are all schnoodles. Due to lack of finances, my guys have dreadlocks right now too. Most specifially, [Gizmo](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s103/purplkid/img097.jpg). They’re wonderful dogs, if a little bit barky. Good luck!!

Congratulations, **RandMcNally**! **Pintsize** is very cute, even with dreadlocks. And yeah, he does look like **CutiePie’s** schnoodle! 🙂 Good on you too for adopting from the shelter. Yay!
