New puppy for Lilly

[Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly]

I have been MIA on doodle kisses for months. We made the move from Florida to Arizona and have settled into our cottage in Nebraska. It has been a hectic year. We will be in Nebraska full time for the next two years and then do the 6 months each place until we get to old to drive it. As many of you know, I have COPD and could not do the Florida coast- too humid, but I do miss the ocean.

So here is the new news- Lilly is getting a puppy!! I don't know how many dogs get a puppy for Christmas but ours will. Yes, I was dropped on my head as a child to go though puppyhood again. Lilly was born on 6-2-11 and she has been a dream-well except the first few days when she screamed like a banchee,  and the first few months when we looked like bad druggies with marks up and down our arms from biting. 

We live in a small village 70 miles from Omaha and Lilly has one friend, a 9 year old westie that will play for 30 seconds before she growls at Lilly to leave her alone. We decided that having another dog would be good for her. I brought it up because Lilly's mom was having another litter and Scott agreed. I kept saying "are you sure? are you sure/ you really want to do this and you are not doing it because I want one? " I gave him a night to realize what he said and then emailed Tera Mueller (Lilly's breeder) the next day.

We found out that not only is Lilly's mom going to have a litter (Lilly is a goldendoodle F1B), there was a labradoodlee that is having a litter the week after Lilly's mom is suppose to deliver.  First we wanted another goldendoodle from the same mom and dad because Lilly is just the best girl, but then we talked about it and decided we would get a labradoodle and have a doodle of each.

The new baby will be called Sophie Rose. Since Lilly starts with the letter "L", we wanted the new baby to start with the letter "S" for Scott because we are just that dorky. We have had dogs with the names of Sadie, Sara, and my daughter has a dog named Sally and Sophie ryhmes with Lilly- again the dorky gene.

Puppies are due middle of Dec and we will bring Sophie home around Valentine's Day. Brand new furniture and rugs watch out!

Dori, I wish you were her to meet her. I haven't said anything on facebook.  Thanks Nicky- looking forward to two fur babies.

Oh how exciting!!!!! Can't wait to meet Sophie Rose!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Wonderful news.  I now have one of each too! Boris is three months old and Riley is 18 months. We're loving having them both.  Such fun watching them play. Can't wait to see Sophie Rose.

How exciting for all of you!  There is nothing like a new puppy to join the family!  Can't wait to see pictures of Sophie:)

How exciting - and a bit nuts!!  Another trip down puppyhood lane...

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Wow you are crazy lucky! I can't wait to see pictures, hear stories, and watch Sophie Rose grow up. Deep down I am really jealous. Daisy is 3 now and I am starting to think of puppies since my DD has not given me a grandbaby yet.

Lucky Lilly!
