My "pre-owned" doodle

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

I am reading about the "rescue" doodle Molly...and I love the term "pre-owned"  I just became the proud owner of a "pre-owned" 6 year old golden doodle.  She has been with us one week today!  So far I have had 2 trainers come to my house $220, doggie day care 2 days for socialization $36, heart guard pills for 3 months until we go to the vet $50, frontline $150?, new collar $30.  Training collar $239.  Bed $50. So when the previous owner wanted $50 for what they considered a re-homing fee  (which I thought was reasonable) I assured her the dog was going to be very well taken care of and she actually waived the fee.  I guess she had some empathy for the dog...or just really really wanted the dog gone.

She told me she was pregnant and had just married her "best friend" last month and it was HIS dog.  She has a pit bull and a 7 year old daughter.  So guess who got to leave..yep you guessed it...her new husband's dog. I think I rescued the dog from the "wicked" step-mother"    So without further ado, I am proud to introduce our new addition, our "pre-owned" gorgeous...and might I add priceless                                                                         Miss Elli

Thank-you I know that sweet face...I cannot believe "he" thought this woman's face was sweeter than Elli's!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

She is so beautiful....thank you for giving her this new chance at a good life. 

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

My absolute pleasure.  She is a diamond in the "ruff"

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

"Best friend" has to dump his dog.  I swear I can't figure some people out. But I LOVE her face and your story and that this beautiful girl has found a forever loving home with you. 

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Agree...no time in my life have I ever given away my pets because my mate couldn't tolerate them...You are right, trying to figure some people out just isn't worth our energy.

Miss Elli is just adorable. She is so lucky to now be part of your family.

[Joani, Skadi & Elli]

Thank-you.  We are so tickled with Elli...like I said before she was such a lucky find for us.

OMD! What a beautiful girl with such a sweet face! I'd say you both hit the jackpot! How on earth could "he" have ever let her go?? Doesn't make sense but Elli is much better off!
