Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum

Life has been a bit hectic and I have been overly long in posting. The house is full of crazy playing doodles (even Lacey is joining in on the fun). A couple of weeks ago DRC, Inc contacted me to see if I could foster a couple of girls who were being rehomed due to a death in their family. How could I say no? These girls were tightly bonded to their late dad and were a bit dazed and sad from all the sudden changes in their lives. DRC, inc. contacted me on Wed. 10/19 and on 10/21, Lina & Jonathan some wonderful DRC volunteers drove from the Florida panhandle to our front door with Ginger & Lexie (about a 7 hour drive one way). Ginger & Lexie had been with Lina & Jonathan for about a week and Lexie had already attached herself to Jonathon.

The 2 footers stood and chatted as the 4 footer (except Lacey) got to know one another. Even 5 month kitty Tessa came to meet & greet our new house guest (and let them know in no uncertain terms that G & L were lower in the pack than her). Finally it was time for Lina & Jonathan to say good-bye to start their trip back to Florida. Good thing I had a box of tissues close by as there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when they left.

Lexie sat looking through the glass panel of our front for 2 days. Every now and then she would give a small, forlorn howl as if asking “what is going on and where are my people?” Ginger on the other hand was more resilient; expressing interest in the house, fenced yard and all the 4 footers.

It took Lexie about 4 days to settle in and feel comfortable. She and Harlow have a constant game of tag going on. Ginger and Lacey play much more quietly together in the house, but Ginger is just as rough and tumbling playing in the yard with Lexie and Harlow.

The doodle sisters are house trained and are solid on their Sit, Down, Stay and Come commands. I am embarrassed to say they listen to me better than my own pack.

It is a bit hard to pick out which girl is which, but Ginger has a small white mismark in the shape of a heart on her chest.  Lexie has a bit curlier "mane".

Like all black doods a picture never does them justice.  They are 2 1/2 years old and each weighs 65 pounds of pure love and kisses.

What a wonderful thing you are doing!!!!  Bless you for the kindness that you are showing these beauties.  I hope they find a wonderful home together.

You are an angel and they are adorable :o)

Thank you for opening your home and your heart to doodles in need once again, Nina! The sisters look like sweethearts!

Sweet girls, sweet Foster Mom. Thank you Nina for all you do.

Nina, You amaze me with your kind heart and generous nature. I don't know how you do it. I get so sad just reading how hard it is for these doodles when they get re-homed. Thank you for helping them.

Aw, how wonderful of you and they look and sound like absolute sweethearts!

Nina, you ar an angel. how wonderful of you to take these girls in when you already have a big pack. I bet they will find the perfect forever homes.

Nina...how wonderful to have the "Sisters"with you...they sure are fortunate to be there!

They are just adorable...

Nina, you are so kind to take in these dogs and give them a wonderful interim home. These stories are always so bittersweet. I hope the sisters find a permanent home soon. Thanks for all the good work and ditto to Lina and Jonathan.

I love their scruffy look. They are adorable.

This is so sad but it's wonderful to know there are such wonderful people with such love to give to the Sisters.  Thank you for doing such wonderful work and wishing and hoping hard that these two scruffy love bugs find their best possible forever home.

You are truly a "fairy godmother" to these beautiful Doodle girls.  Thanks so much...your kind spirit is inspiring.  Your house must be such a fun place to be....so much Doodle love.
