Lily May is precious. Enjoy her.

Gah, Lily May is adorable! Henry is only 18 weeks old and I want to get him a playmate already LOL. Enjoy your new baby!

[Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau]

Lily is a doll!  Enjoy puppyhood - it does not last long!

[Cathy and Daisy and Harper]

What a cutie! So nice when they adjust easily!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Lily May is an adorable fluffball.  Love her color, her look and her puppy cuteness.  Congratulations. Plus, I had a Lily also so I am very partial to the name.

Thank you! SO much she is such a joy to have around! Such a little sweetheart. She weighs 5 lbs 13 oz at 9 weeks. Is there anyone to have a rough guess of how much she we will weigh full grown? Just wondered:)

[Lisa & Sunny]

Congratulations, she is so fluffy and adorable! 

Sunny was right around 5 lb. when we brought her home.  She is predicted to be 30-40 lb. full grown.  She seems to be on track for that so far.

Thank you! Yes she is a big fluff ball! Her hair is like a lambs coat. How big was Sunnys parents? Lily's was 29 and 30 pounds. Her estimate was 25-35. How's your puppy doing? Still in full landshark mode??

[Lisa & Sunny]

Sunny's parents are 40 lb (golden retriever) and 30 lb (poodle).  Sunny is mostly doing well; we've had a bit of a relapse with house training, though.  Where she used to ring her "tinkle bells" to go outside, now she just stands at the door and looks at us.  If we don't happen to notice soon enough, we may find her squatting and peeing on the rug.  I was complaining about bell abuse (i.e. ringing the bells when she wants to go outside and look for random pine cones or rocks to chew on), but I'd rather deal with that then not finding out she needs to go outside until it is too late. 

She is still in landshark mode, but nowhere near as bad as before.  She still grabs our clothes once in a while when over-excited, and for some reason she is fascinated with my son's shoelaces, but the biting has slowed down quite a bit.  The worst of it now is chewing on other things she shouldn't be chewing on.  She loves pencils, and my kids routinely drop them somewhere within her reach.

Haha, it's always something isn't it!! They are fun though and I'm trying to enjoy these little puppy moments. She will be starting puppy class in a couple weeks. I've been following the online doggy dans videos which has given some good tips. Hope sunny continues to do well!

Wow just under 6#?!? Henry was 13# at 9 weeks and at 18 weeks he is almost 35#...his parents are both just over 50# but my vet says Henry is going to be more like 65-70# when full grown. So much for a larger sized medium LOL!

[DJ]

It sounds like Henry will be a big boy. Is he a F1 generation with a true retriever and standard poodle parents. I have a friend who has goldendoodles not the "mini" or medium kind and they are both close to 80pounds. Gentle giants but very large!!
