Meet Polly Wolly Doodle!

[Judy, Meg & Polly Wolly Doodle]

We got to the breeder's home Saturday evening to meet Polly.  It was so sweet, first the breeder dad wanted to love on Meg and kept asking her if she remembered him even just a  little bit, it was great to watch.  They brought Polly out and the two took right to each other, if Meg didn't pounce at Polly then Polly would growl and pounce at her and off they would go again.  I had been a bit concerned about collar and leash on the way home if she was not used to it, the breeders had a collar on her and she was used to the leash and even could be fastened to a tree and wait patiently (we didn't do that but he taught her that to help her relax with leash)  After they settled a bit we were taken around to meet the siblings that are still there and Meg's ancestors as well.  It was nice.  We picked Polly up at 7 a.m. yesterday and headed home.  You might be asking yourself if it ever dawned on me that Polly had never been in a car before and might be a bit carsick, the answer would be a resounding no but 10 miles of car showed us we should have thought of that.  A quick google search had us headed to a find an open pharmacy for Dramamine.  We underestimated her weight so didn't give her quite enough but it did help and she had great car manners.  BTW we just got back from first vet visit and she did all right both ways so hopefully that was temporary.

They play well together, Polly is not afraid to growl and chase Meg.  If Meg is getting a drink and Polly sticks her head in Meg backs up or they share.  Meg had her antler last night and Polly got tired of sharing the end of it so she took it from Meg there is no aggression from either so far.  Meg doesn't understand why Polly does not have the same energy level but I am guessing she will catch up.

Question for those that know these things, we have their food bowls across the room from each other, obviously they need different foods right now, but I have not been able to keep them at their own bowls long enough to eat yet.  Any pointers would be welcome.

Polly got a clean bill of health from the doctor.  She needs one more Parvo med and we were warned to keep her home until we get that, Parvo is acting up in our area.

Here are some pictures...just a few and I can assure you there will be many more later. Thanks for all the encouragement and well wishes.

 

[F, Calla & Luca]

How cute. When I first brought Calla home I was hysterically laughing since the doodles insisted on going to the other's bowl. I switched them both to the same food. And Luca's food gets locked in his crate til he's ready to eat it or Calla will eat that too.

[Judy, Meg & Polly Wolly Doodle]

How I wish I could put them on the same right now.  I know I have to leave Polly on her current puppy food and then gradually switch her, then she still needs puppy food for quite some time but I won't be quite as concerned when they are at least on the same type and we get the grains gone.  I must practice patience with this, right?

Aww sweet!

[Gail and Bailey]

They are so cute together!  Congrats on your new pup!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

I have a few food issues here as well since we have puppy food and adult food and one that is an eager eater and one that is a nibbler.  So, I put AnnaBelle in her crate and Lucy is loose.  If Lucy doesn't eat by the time AnnaBelle is impatient to come out then I put Lucy's put and give it to her a little later.  Many times she eats her evening meal overnight.  Sounds like things are off to a great start.  I'm particularly impressed that they share the antler.

 Holy Doodle ! They are so cute, and so cute together ! This new relationship for all, would mean in the coming weeks, time spent just watching them together.

I know I would NEVER get anything done. Good luck with that !

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Congratulations, Polly is adorable!

What has worked best for me when feeding two dogs on two different foods is to place the bowls at opposite sides of the kitchen and then sit in the middle between them while they eat to prevent visiting. You can also try feeding the puppy in her crate. 

[Becka]

They make quite an adorable team! Congratulations!

[Pam & Trixie]

Adorable Pictures of them!

When we had 2 dogs we always feed them in their crates.  That way neither had to worry that thee other dog would eat their food...

So they could relax & eat their food nice & slow- Not- LOL

[Miss Ellie]
