My "pre-owned" doodle

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

I am reading about the "rescue" doodle Molly...and I love the term "pre-owned"  I just became the proud owner of a "pre-owned" 6 year old golden doodle.  She has been with us one week today!  So far I have had 2 trainers come to my house $220, doggie day care 2 days for socialization $36, heart guard pills for 3 months until we go to the vet $50, frontline $150?, new collar $30.  Training collar $239.  Bed $50. So when the previous owner wanted $50 for what they considered a re-homing fee  (which I thought was reasonable) I assured her the dog was going to be very well taken care of and she actually waived the fee.  I guess she had some empathy for the dog...or just really really wanted the dog gone.

She told me she was pregnant and had just married her "best friend" last month and it was HIS dog.  She has a pit bull and a 7 year old daughter.  So guess who got to leave..yep you guessed it...her new husband's dog. I think I rescued the dog from the "wicked" step-mother"    So without further ado, I am proud to introduce our new addition, our "pre-owned" gorgeous...and might I add priceless                                                                         Miss Elli

Thank-you DJ...Elli looks like the same beautiful color as Chance.  

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

What a beauty! I'm so happy she found her way to you,  congratulations!

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

That's so sweet of you to say.  Thank-you.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Wow, congratulations, she's adorable!

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Thank-you thank-you...we are enjoying her immensely...she is in a kind of "boot" camp training for the next 2 weeks but already the changes in her are blowing me away!  And to top it off she is so darn sweet!

Miss Elli is a pure blond beauty. It sounds like there's much good fortune all around at your place!

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Oh yes...the goddess of fortune was smiling down the day I discovered Elli.

[Lynda Kamrath]

Sounds like a win-win for everyone.  Lucky doggie to have found you and lucky you to have found her.

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

I did hit the jackpot with Miss Elli...I just hope I can be "the person my dog thinks I am"

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

Congratulations!  She is absolutely Doodle adorable!

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Thank you Lonnie...we are very happy right now!  I feel our lives will only get better.  I worried somewhat because Skadi has been an "only" child for so long...but they are doing pretty good and playing very well together...all in one short week.  I am one lucky woman.
