Our new Addition

It has been almost 6 months since we had to say goodbye to our sweet Jetta. There has definitely been a hole in our family without her and Foster misses her friendship. Brian has been against another dog because Foster is sooo good. However, we always are on the go and I thought it would be nice to have some companionship. Plus, he is such a great dog and his great behavior will rub off on a new dog. I have been doing a lot of research and trying to find the right dog to fit our family. Brian wanted a lazy dog, but we are far from lazy in this household.

We originally looked at a bulldog, which is lazy. However, after realizing that they are unable to swim, we had to reevaluate. Brian did not want another big dog, which is by far my favorite. We had to compromise in the middle because I do not like little dogs at all. I came across a neighbor who has a mini golden doodle. They are the cutest animals I think I have ever seen. They look just like a teddy bear. The good news is that they only get to be about 35-40lbs. Perfect. Then all I had to do was convince Brian.

It took all of about a few minutes to send a picture and give him the information to get him interested. We went to see our neighbors and he was adorable...done...we were getting a dog.

I had already been scouting out the breeders in the area and there was a litter with some puppies available. We wanted a boy and there were four to choose from. The one problem was it was first come first serve on the puppies. Whoever put a deposit down first had first pick and so on...We were third pick with the boys. The stars must have been aligned and it was meant to be for us to get a puppy. The sweet baby that we were hoping to get was the one we ended up with...Yeah!

Yeah! We picked him up the day after we got home from Disney World. What an exciting day and he is already fitting in nicely. There is one dog who is having to warm up to him, but it is getting better everyday.
