What I've learned already from Hattie

Here is what I have already learned from Hattie in just four short weeks:..

My house will never ever be the same kind of clean that it once was...

My grass is heading downhill and will not return...

My sheets sometimes have bits of gravel in them now...

I know more about dog food and poop than any of my friends...

I can't leave the house without makeup anymore since everyone wants to pet and talk about Hattie...

Which leads me to me know I am now responsible for educating people on Goldendoodles...

My carpet will need cleaning after potty training is completed...

I will have to highstep over the baby gate separating the laundry room and kitty litter from the kitchen for the rest of my life...

Petsmart and Petco have become my favorite stores instead of Dillards...

I won't ever work as many hours again...

Collars and leashes and dog toys are as exciting to buy as shoes and purses...

Waking up to puppy kisses and hugs beats anything I have found in this world...

My heart is larger and fulfilled like never before...

I am in love...

Sandy you have it exactly right except for one thing, you don't need to bother with the makeup, nobody's looking at you they only have eyes for the doodle. They may be talking to you but I'd bet if they were asked to describe you 2 mins later, they would give a perfect description of Hattie but they wouldn't have a clue what you looked like.

This is what I was going to say about the make up. Also, they actually have babygates that have a door that opens so you don't have to step over them .....well worth the money if it is going to be there forever.

Welcome to the world of being a Doodle Mom....I have said that I have had dogs for many years, but never has one dog ever been so attached to me and I love him like no other....He is my special boy, and I love this dog. I love our other dog, he is 14 yrs old, and he is special too, but Oliver is the reincarnation I believe of my Dad...He is so like him in his gentleness, his funny antics and the goodness of his soul shines thru his eyes. Even my DH, who used to think I was nuts, can't get enough of this dog...He also thinks he is like an old soul, and he agrees he reminds us of my Dad...( I know that other people must think we are nuts, but anyone who has a doodle is truly blessed....)
