Hi everyone- tomorrow starts our journey as an official doodle owner- we pick up Derby in Chatanooga, TN in the morning and am crossing my fingers for a good car ride home. I have been reading everyone's posts and advice for the past month and am hoping it makes me a wee bit more prepared for what is to come. Wish me luck with my 8 week old bundle of puppy love. Must catch up on sleep tonight since it has been 12 years since I've done this!! We have a three year old pug named Marley too, but we rescued him at 9 months so he was already pretty much trained.
