Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 8:38PM | Darya This was cracking us up. Our little foodie puppy @toasterpup tried his first artichoke tonight, and instinctively knew to scrape it with his teeth.
Amazing.
Monday, November 22, 2010 at 12:59PM | Darya We've had our little man Toaster for a little over a week now, and he seems right at home. Here's a little episode from this morning while I was having breakfast.
P.S. If you're thinking about getting a puppy, I strongly recommend having a good vacuum.
Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 2:32PM | Darya What could be more serious than a puppy? Here's a little video of Toaster's first night home. Serious as can be.
I don't want to be too presumptuous, but I think he likes us. What do you think?

My name is Toaster, but I'm not a cylon.
Here's a pic of our soon-to-be new labradoodle. He's 4 weeks old and his name is Toaster (inspired by Battlestar Galactica). He'll be arriving at our home in a couple weeks.
You can follow updates at his new Twitter account @ToasterPup. Yes, he got over 400 followers in 24 hrs. What can I say, he's adorable.
