[Gorky]

Here are a few images of Gorky sleeping and playing at around 9 months old. I hope you like them. He is settling in well and has been a well added member of our household since my children are all grown up. My husband and I laugh each day at his antics. What a happy dog he is! He did jump one of our lower sections of the fence last week only to happily greet a neighbor. She commented on how happy he was. Of course, Roger is going to heighten the fence in that particular section.

He's just gorgeous! I love his color.

His pictures are adorable. I really like your avatar too. He looks like he is such a happy boy!

Thanks Marian and BFF for your kind words.

Ah - what a CUTIE !!!!!!! I agree with Cdnjennga : )) - beautiful "dark chocolate" brown !!!

I have to ask, is he named after the band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, by any chance?

 

[Gorky]

Marian, he wasn't, but I noticed this online afterwards. How funny that they had a song about a poodle called Gorky. We named him after an abstract expressionist artist Ashile Gorky. Also there is a playwright called Maxim Gorky.
I found out that Gorky means bitter. I take it to mean bitter chocolate like Gorky is in color.

I think in Wales, 'gorky' is a colloquialism for 'gawky', which also fits! LOL

 

[Marian]

Poodle Rockin'!

Gorky also rhymes with dorky and we call him that too, heh Gorky dorky. Gor for short sometimes which has a celtic or viking sound.
