Up Close And Personal With The Puppies
I put an alert up last night on my Facebook account that we have spoken to nearly ten No-Kill Shelters about the puppies, unfortunately, they are all full at this time. And any other shelter is not an option for us, so we decided to introduce you to the puppies up close and personal.
As Norma Desmond said, “Is it time for my close up?”
This is our little boy, Jobe. His nose cracks me up. He is one of the smaller ones in the litter and very laid back.
ADOPTED by a local family!
We call this blue-eyed handsome boy Bandit after Jonny Quest’s dog. As you can see, Race Bannon would approve of him too. He’s sleepy in this picture. Bandit is one of the smaller of the litter and is quite playful. ADOPTED BY SISTA SMIFF!!
We are not always so clever with the names, but this is Dot because she has a dot on the top of her head. She is fluffy and has some of the Australian Shepherd markings on her body. She makes me laugh.
You’ve met Helen Thomas before. She has markings that look like Murray from the Mary Tyler Moore show’s receding hairline. She has a medium-to-fluffy coat and is quite funny.
ADOPTED BY KATHRYN AND NATHAN, WHOM WE MET APRIL 5TH AT CENTENNIAL PARK. THEY ARE AWESOME!
This is Squirrel Queen’s favorite. We call him Handsome, because he is. His coat is a little bit different than the others as he is gray and black. He’s the curious one of the litter.
This girl is named Tootsie Roll, as named by the girls. She is the one the sandlot kids in the neighborhood like the best. She is a very calm dog and probably the most patient in the litter. TOOTSIE ROLL IS ON HOLD WITH TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE! First one to say I want her wins!
Adopted: Matt Maxey: Assistant Sports Information Director at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
Meet Tucker, who was named by one of the sandlot kids in the neighborhood. Tucker is a boy and one of the smallest dogs in the litter. He romps like a horse though. You have been warned and he was also sleepy during his sitting.
Meet Gulager, the smallest one of the lot but also the one with the sauciest attitude. Gulager is a girl, slick hair with longer legs and has some very cute baby blues.
ADOPTED: SARCASTRO
A big thanks to some of my bloggers friends who have been spreading the word that these cuties need a home.
Stephanie on Facebook
Vibinc – who visited me this week and actually saw the insanity of what Casa de Coma was going through. You know he’s a good guy when he offered to help clean up pee.
Also, thanks to Trudy and Katrina at UT Martin for some excellent solutions to help find them a home, Killa for designing a killer ad introducing them to folks, Chris Brinkley at WCMT for talking about the puppies on the air and countless others who have just been plum awesome.
Thanks guys! And, if you are looking for one of these babies, send me an email at newscoma at gmail dot com.
UPDATE: Ivy at Animal Shak has sent out a smoke signal for us here in Hoots. We thank her for the kind offer. Bloggers are just amazing.
I really wish I could adopt one, but with my travel schedule, it’s just not possible. I can barely keep my cat alive, let alone bring in a puppy….
They’re so damn cute, though! I would be taking Tootsie Roll if I could..
A message to my husband who is probably just now reading this…. I WANT ONE! Not just any one, but I want TootieRoll.
Darling, in our 30 plus years of being man and wife I have asked for a good many things that you could or would not give me. I wanted to live in the county and be surrounded by trees and you moved me to the desert. I wanted to live in a castle and you moved me into a pop up tent camper in Cocke County. I wanted daughters, you gave me two fine sons. About 14 years ago you and those two sweet boys delivered a puppy to me..at work.. on the busiest day of the year. That pup grew into the world’s dumbest but most lovable beast. She, with her flailing razors of doom for feet .
She, with her total inability to travel in a car even though she managed to visit more national parks than most Americans do in a life time.
She, who ran to the door to lick your face.,
She, who rolled on your mother like some dogs do with dead fish.
She, who left us nearly a year ago…
Honey, can I have that puppy., please?
I hate that we can’t adopt one. I can’t even show them to Dave, because I wouldn’t be able to control both of us, and we’d be on the way to Hoots for the whole bunch.
[...] More puppies – just waiting to be adopted! – over at Newscoma. [...]
They are adorable. I’d take one, particularly Handsome, if I didn’t have Mao “Bruiser” here with me – he’s a dog-loathing cat who’d beat the crap out of a puppy. Consider him adopted in spirit. (I know it doesn’t help in the immediate sense, but hopefully the good vibes put out there for him will bring him into a good home.)
[...] You know you want one. [...]
Tootsie Roll makes my heart melt. They all do, and honestly, if I didn’t already have trouble taking care of 2 dogs, I’d take one in a heartbeat. Handsome would be my first pick!
Good luck… I’m trying to spread the word. Keep us updated!
This is just not fair. Puppies this cute need good homes. I will post a link on my facebook page and see if we can get any hits. If I find any takers, I will contact you. And BTW, I think a puppy would be a great addition to my home. The husband and three other border collies will have a conference and discuss it.
If I had room/money for a dog, I would take Gulager. I hope you’re able to find good homes for all of them!
OMG I want one so bad!!!! If I didn’t have three already I’d be taking the whole litter home with me!!!

We are currently polling at two to two
What’s the count now, ‘Coma?
I’m thinking of names….does he look more like a Rhett, Jackson, Seamus, Willie….right now I’m leaning towards Rhett or Jack….anybody?
They are all precious and I wish we could take one. We have a three animal limit in this house though. I’ll post a link on facebook too since I hope these sweet pups can all find homes.
I’ll say this much though – it looks like Mommy got around!
Helen could be Jack’s fluffier little sister!
Where are these puppies? Are you in Middle TN? Do you know what breed(s) they are and a guess as to how big they will get? Let me know…
JQ are you getting one?
Yes, we’ll take Gulager.
Catherine, it was a rescue dog who ended up being preggers. But, the mom is here http://www.flickr.com/photos/newscoma/3292241587/in/set-72157614066343451/
I don’t know how big they will get, but she is wonderful (about 35 lbs.) They are as is, and they are cute.
WHY-OH-WHY did the lovely city of p-town pick NOW to start enforcing the 3 dog limit? WHY WHY WHY!! *cries*
trying to talk eldorado into it, ‘coma, you may have to come up here and deal with him.
Sarcastro- i hope you will keep us all updated with her progress!
she has that “special” look in her eyes, she’s going to be a fantastic baby!
[...] three that were adopted yesterday have been marked as adopted in this post. I have to thank Matt Maxey, Sarcastro and Sharon Smith for adopting Tootsie Roll, Gulager and [...]
Them’s sure are a bunch of cute puppies.
What a crazy mix, though.
Looks to me like there may have been more than one baby daddy!
R.,
I think there was a mess of baby daddies?
Thanks for the link to the adoption of these cuties!
MAN that picture of Handsome keeps calling me. I thought I liked Tootsie Roll best but Handsome just keeps calling me…
I wish the kitty and the job wanted me to have a pup.
Handsome is very, very cool! He is Squirrel Queen’s favorite.
In the I-wish category, too, especially the darker ones since we’re all judging by appearance. That Toots is going to be a beauty all her life. Handsome has a great face…
Sharon – I wish. I’ve got two which is about as much as I can handle in my current situation. However I am constantly hounding (!) my mom to take one (Tucker is my favorite).
I think your mama needs her a little Tucker…
I really must stop coming here. They’re mesmerizing. Handsome is my favorite, but they’re all just absurdly precious.

You should update with who adopted all these guys
Curious minds want to know!
Completely unrelated, I’m listening to Stewie on Family Guy cover Bryan Adams’ “Everything I Do” as I type this and I cannot contain my laughter. Seriously. Find it on hulu.
