Coming Soon: A New Member of the Family

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

Since Penny the WonderDog’s passing in June, this home has been a lonelier place.

 

It’s been amazing to watch Biscuit mature a rapid pace, as if she realized that it was up to her to be the “big dog” now.  She has enjoyed all of our attention, but has missed having a buddy to romp with and love.

 

DH began talking about adding to the family last month, saying it would be nice to have a second dog again.

 

I thought, “Too soon… too soon…”  My heart is still tender from Penny’s passing.

 

But he kept pressing… gently, but pressing.  :-)  I tried to talk to him about a rescue, but just couldn’t get him to agree (for many reasons, too complicated to get into here).  Sometimes, you just have to pick your battles.

 

Three weeks ago, DH sent me a link to a local breeder. Surprise, surprise, the breeder had a brand new litter of three Goldendoodles.  I agreed to visit the breeder under the agreement that it was ONLY to check her out and see what kind of breeder she is.

 

Turns out she’s amazing.  And the moment she brought the last available pup into the living room, DH was a goner.  I’ll let the photos speak for themselves, along with the little video.  DH has had some very serious health issues over the last few months, and the way he lit up when little pup began giving him kisses, I knew it was the right thing to do.

 

So… it’s now three weeks later and we will have a new member of the family on Saturday!  We don’t know what we’re going to name this sweet little girl yet. Laurie, Fudge and Vern think that "Gravy" would be the ideal companion name to "Biscuit," but I don't know.  :-)

 

Stay tuned for all the news that’s fit to print…. And more photos than you can stand.

Congratulations!!!!!! I am so happy for you.  I can certainly see why your dh was smitten.  How about Jam or Butter or even Oleo.  How exciting.

Oh this made me smile.  I would call her Crumble as this is what she made your DH's heart do!  (I am also on the new puppy bandwagon, my puppy is one week old and I will be making the love trail to choose in five weeks time)

 Wishing you all the joy in the world with this baby.

Oh Michele, I am so happy for you and DH.  The little girl is adorable.  I can hardly wait to see all the pictures and watch her grow up.  Biscuit is going to be the big sister now and help this little one learn the ropes.  This is just so exciting!!!  Hugs

This is such great news!!!  I can't wait to see and hear more!  What a lucky, lucky girl she will be!
