Meet Polly Wolly Doodle!

[Judy, Meg & Polly Wolly Doodle]

We got to the breeder's home Saturday evening to meet Polly.  It was so sweet, first the breeder dad wanted to love on Meg and kept asking her if she remembered him even just a  little bit, it was great to watch.  They brought Polly out and the two took right to each other, if Meg didn't pounce at Polly then Polly would growl and pounce at her and off they would go again.  I had been a bit concerned about collar and leash on the way home if she was not used to it, the breeders had a collar on her and she was used to the leash and even could be fastened to a tree and wait patiently (we didn't do that but he taught her that to help her relax with leash)  After they settled a bit we were taken around to meet the siblings that are still there and Meg's ancestors as well.  It was nice.  We picked Polly up at 7 a.m. yesterday and headed home.  You might be asking yourself if it ever dawned on me that Polly had never been in a car before and might be a bit carsick, the answer would be a resounding no but 10 miles of car showed us we should have thought of that.  A quick google search had us headed to a find an open pharmacy for Dramamine.  We underestimated her weight so didn't give her quite enough but it did help and she had great car manners.  BTW we just got back from first vet visit and she did all right both ways so hopefully that was temporary.

They play well together, Polly is not afraid to growl and chase Meg.  If Meg is getting a drink and Polly sticks her head in Meg backs up or they share.  Meg had her antler last night and Polly got tired of sharing the end of it so she took it from Meg there is no aggression from either so far.  Meg doesn't understand why Polly does not have the same energy level but I am guessing she will catch up.

Question for those that know these things, we have their food bowls across the room from each other, obviously they need different foods right now, but I have not been able to keep them at their own bowls long enough to eat yet.  Any pointers would be welcome.

Polly got a clean bill of health from the doctor.  She needs one more Parvo med and we were warned to keep her home until we get that, Parvo is acting up in our area.

Here are some pictures...just a few and I can assure you there will be many more later. Thanks for all the encouragement and well wishes.

That blocker used to be the 'hammock' in the back seat of my last car and we put it in this one to help keep the hair off all the carpeting in the back and then placed a piece of carpet we cut to size on top of that, it has always worked for Meg but the very first thing Polly did was try to step through and then she grabs the zipper and pulls it down...do they just stumble on to that or figure it out??  At any rate I have been eyeing the one that is wired or the curved pipes to go back there, guess I might want to do that sooner rather than later.

They are so sweet! Congratulations!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

How cute! They do look like two sisters. I can't wait to see Polly grow. My two boys bonded almost immediately, even though they don't snuggle together. It took Auggie about a day to realize that even though Monty is big and loud, he is just a big softie that needs to be pounced on.

We had the same issue with food bowls; the boys were on different food and I just could not wait to switch Auggie to Acana so that I don't have to guard who eats whose food. Have fun with the girls!

LOL, Jarka, this is hilarious! 

[Judy, Meg & Polly Wolly Doodle]

That's funny!  We are counting the days for changing her over but know it is a gradual thing we must do right.

[Robin and Libby Louise]

HA!  Very funny!

[Pam & Trixie]

So funny & Cute Jarka

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Judy, the girls are so darn cute and look related. Are they? I also am impressed with them sharing an antler. That took my two a little while to figure out that they each had one. ;) Jarka, how cute is Auggie climbing into that tall bowl??? Priceless.

[Judy, Meg & Polly Wolly Doodle]

They are from the same breeder (Meg's papers followed her all the way through the rescue, luckily) so they are actually cousins.  There were still two of her siblings there, one that looked pretty much like Polly and the other a red that is going to be very curly, hard not to gather them all up!!

[BG and Gavin]

What a sweetie!  Meg looks like she is being a great big sister.

When I got my 2nd doodle I would feed one doodle at a time, it just worked for us and still does !!!  Good luck with Polly she is so cute :)

[Joyce (Casey & Cody's mom)]

Awww - SO precious. Doesn't that last picture just make you want to hug her and give a big kiss on that nose!!!
