We're New Parents!

[Becky, Chili & Guiness]

 

We adopted our LD, Chili, last March through IDOG.  He's been such a joy, that we decided to double the love.  We were working through DRC to adopt a second rescue.  We had already been approved and were "finalists" in the running for a different doodle.  Jeannine from DRC came for a home visit and brought a young LD that she had rescued from a shelter in Louisville the day before, to see how Chili would react to another dog on his turf.  We were all goners within five minutes, including Chili.  We named our new boy Guiness.  While it was mostly a humpfest the first few days, since then they run and play and tease each other, just like any other brothers.  My husband and I feel so blessed to be able to share our lives with these two wonderful, loving, goofy doodles. 

In addition to publicly thanking Karyn and Jeannine for making this happen, I want to apologize to them and the others for their congratulations on our new addition, which I had not yet acknowledged... I just can't seem to stop playing with or watching them long enough to do anything else, like post on DK.  Plus, I've had a hard time getting any decent photos of Guiness.  Here are a few of the boys.  Chili is the blond, Guiness is the silly looking black boy.
