Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s right there in my last post: when Pickle arrives, it’s gonna be Kemba-Who? Pickle this. Pickle that. Might as well call it The Adoration of the Puppy. Texts, photos, phone calls to everyone in the family — all about Pickle. Not even so much as a “How’s Kemba?” Here’s a report, in pictures, of what’s been going on since I wrote two weeks ago. Disclaimer: black Labs don’t come out nearly as clear and crisp in photos as handsome red Duck Tollers do.
February 13: Last day down south. He’s packing his bags . . .T minus 10 days. Pickle still in Cullman, Alabama. His Royal Highness’s crate awaits him in New York. (Note the oh-so-cute pickle toy on the pillow.)T minus one week. Still in ‘Bama. (Is it real, or is it bobble head?)
Dad, meet Pickle. Pickle, meet Dad.Yup, about the size of a hardcover. (Note the pickle-themed collar.)En route to NYC from the airport. The Alabama folks say he’s great in the car. We’ll see . . .Up and at ’em! Ready for Day #2 in the Big Apple!This little southern boy can eat!First vet visit. 8.1 lbs. Robby asks endless questions. Pickle falls asleep.Snuggles with Brianne. You know, like she used to do with me?
Snuggles with Mom/Brianne Part Deux
Beagle Man always has a lot to say, so I’ll just pipe up in The Duck Dog Speaks whenever I can.
Well, he is the most adorable little Pickle EVER!! I’ve already told Robby that I’m available to “Pickle Sit” any time. But with a risk that he might ride back to Cape Cod with me. Kemba, you’re still No. 1! (For the time being.)

How’s Kemba doing?
Hasn’t met the little critter yet. Probably middle of next week. We’ll see . .
I was sort of trying to be funny, but…
