The plan as my mom enters doodle land

[jenn D]

Hi all. I know I mentioned that my mom is considering getting a dog in the non-doodle forum. Thank you so much for all the advice. I've had my mom read all of your comments. We've talked a lot and have decided on a plan. My mom has decided to put a deposit down on a breeding from the same person I got brisby and pickles from. I really like the temperaments her dogs have and I know the dad of who she will be using and the mom is related to the mom of Pickles. My breeder will be having a litter of small medium doodles in the fall ready for homes after the holiday. So this gives my mom plenty of time to really think about it and work with my dogs. If she decides she just doesn't or can't do it, she loses her deposits. I think she is pretty committed to her plan. We've talked about small rescues vs new puppy and since she has been around brisby and pickles as pups I think she has seen at least some of the good, bad and ugly. She really likes their temperaments. Now we work on getting her use to dog life with extended play dates at her house, one dog at a time. It also gets her time to puppy proof her house and yard. That's the update so far. I'll let you know how things are going as we move forward.
Also, she's listening to me about picking temperament above color or gender. She did say however if it was a boy she might name it after J.D. Robb's Irish thief turned good guy. :). (Mom loves to read).

Sounds like a well thought out plan! Looking forward to updates as the plan progresses.

Yup.

I'll be looking forward to hearing all about your new brother or sister, lol!

Well, we are thinking "cousin" although her doodle will stay here when she travels. Brother or sister to me means another one living here full time. I just want to say for the record, some of this is my hubby's doing. He's so happy to finally have a dog that loves him that he wants everyone to experience it. He encouraged my mom that even newly dubbed "dog folk" can do it. Thx for the help, Karen.

How exciting for your mom! It sounds like you've done a lot of discussing and have a solid plan in place, I can't wait to hear more about her entry into doodle land.

Thanks everyone. I'm committed to helping her. She's given our family so much love and support unconditionally. She was with me at nights when I was learning to be a mom with my human babies, now I can support her becoming a dog mom. Hopefully in awhile she will be comfortable to post here and "meet" you guys. Until then I'll say thanks for the support for both of us. :)

Rourke!  Great name. I wish your mom the best!

Sounds like a very good plan!  I'll be looking forward to your updates. PS I think you're going to need a second lounge chair ;) 

[Bonnie and Kona]

I'm happy you have both come to a decision about the dog issue for your senior citizen. ;o) just kidding. I know she will enjoy her puppy. 

[Stephanie and Ragley]

Sounds like you guys have a really good plan in place! I hope all goes well for her in the next few months as she prepares and then for many more after with her new bundle of joy! 

[Emily, Bentley, & Maserati]

I think that sounds like a great plan. Good luck to you and your mom in this new puppy adventure! I can't wait for updates!

Looks like you have it figured out....exciting.
