Riley o’Riley

Meet Riley.

"Greetings, stranger with a camera."

.

Edwina and Nuno’s retriever puppy who sniffed and licked and pawed his way into our hearts.

He is a __ month old, champagne-coloured Retriever puppy (I overheard them saying he’s a Golden Retriever but he looks like a Lab retriever to me – so I’ll just refer to him as The Retriever puppy), whom they adopted from a breeder somewhere in Mandurah.

Loitering in the kitchen with sad puppy eyes, in attempt of luring some gullible human into feeding him

.

While he’s a lot bigger now, Riley was, at some point, a true-blue, toilet paper frolicking Kleenex Puppy.

It's not a retriever puppy until it falls asleep on soft cottony Kleenex.

.

And although I was a few months too late for his early stages;, Riley is still a wickedly adorable little thing  that runs around clumsily, and flaps his ears in the process like all retriever puppies are supposed to. T.T

Dopey as anything.

.

He was a bit timid for a male puppy his size/breed, but which also means that he plays really gentle and doesn’t even tries nipping at your hand when he’s playing.

Which was quite a refreshing change from that-manic-depressive-dog and that other ADHD one in Victoria.

Yeah, you know who you are.

.

But, Yang has made it very clear that when we eventually get our own pup, it’s gotta be an ‘energetic and playful’ one.

Which I’m quite sure also means ‘crazy and uncontrollable’ at one point or another. =.=

Quite unlike this one.

Or this one.

.

And I wasn’t necessarily referring to the puppy in the photo.

Anyway, Riley wasn’t the entire reason we drove half hour South to Edwina and Nuno’s new place.

We were having a pizza night slash pot-luck dinner; and at the same time, for me to visit their new house since I missed out on the first couple of gatherings. =.=

Edwina and Val cooking up a storm, while Nuno doesn't even try to look busy.

The area was still developing, and the couple was still working on bits and pieces of the house. But it was a really nice place as it was; well-furnished, homey, and inspiring for young couples every where who are saving up for a place of their own. /shy
