Pup

Matt and I have talked about getting a puppy for a long time. I am allergic to most dogs so we needed a hypoallergenic dog or a mix of some sort. Matt loves Gracie but she is so little and he wants a bigger dog. We had been looking into goldendoodles, labradoodles, and boxerdoodles. We would have loved to adopt but there were never any of those dogs in shelters, or if they were, they had behavioral issues.

This past Sunday we just happened to be looking in the paper and there were three ads that caught our attention. 2 labradoodle ads and 1 goldendoodle ad. I searched their phone numbers and found that the woman who had the goldendoodle was only about 30 minutes away. So, I called her and learned that there were 2 puppies left, a male and a female. They were both black goldendoodles. They were almost 7 weeks at the time.

So, Matt and I jumped in the car and drove to see them... and of course we fell in love. We chose the male because we already have Gracie. He wasn't able to come home yet because he was still so little.

Tomorrow we are bringing Gracie to meet him and we will be able to pick him up next Friday! We both took the day off for the occasion! I found Gracie's old crate and set that up in my room. We bought him a food dish, a collar, a leash, food, toys, and treats. Gracie came to the pet store with us to help us pick out the stuff.

I am not sure how she is going to react. We set up all of his stuff in his crate and also put his food dish next to hers. She definitely knows something is going on and her ears perk up whenever we say "puppy." I have a feeling she will be very excited when he arrives but will get weirded out when he doesn't leave.

We'll just have to see how it goes... she is going to have to adapt.
