FINALLY, I HAVE A BREEDER AND AN ESTIMATED DAY OF ARRIVAL!!!!!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

I am just so excited to finally have decided on a breeder and sent my deposit and am now joining the ranks of those waiting for a doodle. I am counting the days!!!!! What do we do to pass the time????
thanks to DK I can read about other doodles and enjoy them !

I think you pass the time with your feet up relaxing, popping out to the shops, snacking on the sofa, sleeping through the night, skipping on vacuming, lounging in the bath etc etc - and all the other things you do now that will be tricky in the weeks to come! Enjoy your new baby, you are in for so much fun!

Thanks Jessica, I like you!!!!! We think alike.

Oh so good to hear I'm not totally alone in my agony. I tell my DH how excited I am and he just smiles like "That's nice, dear". No sympathy there. My puppy will be ready Jan 2nd, however, we are driving from Fla back to AZ Jan 8th-ish and will have the pup shipped to us when we arrive there. (Weather depending).
She is a F1, cream, and I will get to see updated pictures this weekend, so I've got something to look forward to.
I am working in Fl. now and am so busy with work that I think time will really fly. I then have several months off after Jan 8th to help survive puppyhood.
Our daughter has a 11 month old doodle that is in the picture with me and he is what started this whole journey!!! That is Marley and one of my 3 grand-doggies. He single handedly turned me into a doodle lover!!!!!
You must be so excited to be so close to your puppy's arrival! You will have to keep us all posted how it goes day by day (if you have time) and let those of us waiting ,get a glimpse of what we can expect.
Wasn't finding a breeder just grueling? So many choices!!!! Well, that's behind both of us and your wait is almost over, good for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oooh, how exciting for you!

Congratulations! I agree with Jessica... pamper yourself like crazy and get lots of sleep :-)

Congratulations! Try to think back to your childhood waiting for your birthday. So long to wait, but the big day finally came.

THIS IS WHAT MY BREEDER SENT TO ME ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR A PUPPY...I THINK IT IS CUTE AND TRUE....HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DID!!!

how to prepare for a puppy

pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk barefoot in the dark

wear a sock to work that has had its toes shredded by a blender

immediately upon waking, stand outside in the rain and dark yelling, be a good puppy, go potty, hurry up, lets go. please?????

play catch with a wet tennis ball

run out in the snow with bare feet and close the gate

tip over the basket of laundry and scatter it all over the floor

leave your dirty underwear on the living room floor. that’s where your puppy will drag it anyways especially when you have company

jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your tv show and run to the door shouting no no do that outside. miss the end of your program

gouge the leg of the dining room table several times with a screw driver

put chocolate pudding on the floor in the morning and don’t clean it up before you get back from work

take a warm cuddly blanket fresh from the dryer and wrap it around yourself. this is what it will feel like when your puppy falls asleep on your lap.

This is so cute Marianne, I am thankful even more so now for Tivo, Tile floors, living in Az and Fla. (no snow), The rest I will certainly have to deal with. Thank you, made me smile thinking of it all.
