Meet our newest doodle!

[cocoincanada]

Our adoption has been approved and we got our new doodle last night!!

 

A few weeks ago, a message went out on DoodleKisses about 2 black labradoodle pups in Toronto. This is one of them! Meet Diesel, our new Labradoodle!

 

 

He is about 5-6 months old and he's HUGE! He's probably about 35 lbs already, and he's nearly as tall as Sunny. Definitely got the poodle legs! He and Sunny are getting along great so far. Not best buddies by any means, but Diesel follows Sunny everywhere and seems to look to him for leadership. In fact, he's already copying certain things that Sunny does! Aside from not having any toys to play with or bones to chew (because Sunny keeps stealing them from him), he seems to be adjusting really well. Sunny seems to want to play and wrestle with him, but he won't stop barking at him when they're playing. This is a first -- Sunny has always been vocal with the playing, but it's always been mostly growling/groaning, never barking. We'll have to work on that.

 

As predicted, Diesel was very anxious when he got in the car to come home last night. Very heavy panting, drooling, heart beating a mile a minute. I sat in the back with him to praise him and give him some treats as we drove along. But, after about 30 mins of this, he threw up his whole breakfast and lunch (hadn't had dinner yet). As soon as that happened, his anxiety subsided though and he curled up and went right to sleep for the rest of the trip.

 

He's been absolutely great so far! Has been peeing and pooping outside, slept on the floor in our room with Sunny last night, and has been getting lots of play time. He is so unbelievably calm! Not just for a part-lab dog, but for a 5 month old puppy. Very very laid back, and extremely docile. And doesn't shed at all, contrary to Sunny.

 

We love him already and can't wait to get to know this little guy and watch him grow! Sunny is 65 lbs and quite tall, and as you can see from this pic from last weekend, when we went to meet Diesel and took the two of them on a little walk.....Diesel is almost as tall as Sunny, and check out those enormous paws! We think he's going to be a very big dog - probably between 80-100 lbs if I had to guess. Pardon the quality of the pic, as it was taken from a cell phone. So excited!!

What a great pair they make walking together.  I bet you are going to be stopped a lot by people wanting to pet the two of them.

[Bonnie and Kona]

I'm really excited for you! Diesel is gorgeous and he looks like a great partner for Sunny. (Even if Sunny is sure about it yet!) Congratulations!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Oh Man you are so lucky calm, cute, smart, another perfect doodle on DoodleKisses. He clearly looks like he will be at least 80lbs but I bet more like 100, I mean just look at him....Congratulations!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

I love his name - very appropriate, both for his color and the fact that, based on paw size, he'll be as big as an 18-wheeler!

[Susan, Zeke. Lily & Jasper]

Congratulations!  Diesel is adorable!

Gorgeous, gorgeous....Lucky you. Love the name. Our black one is a fairly new rescue too and he just fitted in immediately. You are now doubly blessed :)
