Bit off more than I could chew! (Count Chocula)

kbrandon · 01-21-2008, 07:48 PM

I know everyone must think I am crazy but I really have just bit off more than I can chew with getting a new dog right before having a baby, and I am once again going to try to find Count a new home.

He is now almost 6 months old, UTD on all shots, and 75% housebroken. For those of you that dont know of Count, he is a parti-male, F1B, standard, curly, male. I may have him neutered soon but am waiting until he is at least 6 months old. He is great around other dogs, cats, and children. He is very sweet, loves to take car rides, and sleep under beds. He does get scared of loud noises as we are trying to adjust him to those kind of things.

I will post the most recent pic I have of him. It was taken of all of us at Christmas, and he has since been trimmed of all his baby hair. We are letting it grow back out but were told it was something we should do at his age. I will try to post a new pic of him soon.
If anyone is interested, please PM me. We are in NC 30 mi from Charlotte or Greensboro.

Thanks Alot!

Kristi

I'm sorry things didnt work out for your MIL to take Count for you. I hope you are able to find him a loving home soon

Oh i am so sorry to hear it didn't work out but i also empathize with you having a baby. i can see how hard it can be having a puppy at the same time.
i sure hope you find a really good home via this forum as so many people open their hearts up to a situation such as yours.
Good luck and i don't think you're crazy, rather i think you're someone who tried their best and also is very honest.

I sent the info on to a friend who is looking for a doodle. Where are you?

kbrandon · 01-22-2008, 11:48 AM

We live in Advance, NC close to Winston-Salem. 30 mi from Greensboro or Charlotte though. Thank You!

AJWhiting · 01-24-2008, 02:51 PM

I live in Charlotte, NC. Just can't convince myself that taking in another Doodle is the smartest thing! But I remember pictures that you posted a few months ago, and I remember how beautiful he was.

I will do my best to spread the word to friends and family and see if I can find him a good home!

kbrandon · 01-24-2008, 06:10 PM

Thanks for keeping a look out for us. I am 8 mo pregnant and cannot handle him much longer. Please tell everyone you know. We have over $1500 in him and are taking a big loss on him as long as he goes to a good home. I am also having him neutered in the next 2 weeks.

Thanks Again,

Kristi Brandon

Thank you. I wasn't sure how to do that. I will post some more recent pics by the weekend. =)

madcity_mike · 01-24-2008, 08:17 PM

wow he looks so much like my Parker!!

kbrandon · 01-24-2008, 09:01 PM

OMG-I think they could be brothers. Wait til you see new pics of him when I get them posted. He is going to be as big as Parker! What a cutie!

Linz81 · 01-29-2008, 12:51 PM

Just wondering if you had found a home for Count yet? He is a beautiful boy! I would LOVE him to come to Arkansas, but the husband is one of those who only gets them if they are 8 weeks

I love him he is SOOOO cute!!

kbrandon · 01-29-2008, 12:58 PM

I am talking to a lady from Charlotte who is very interested in Count. I think she would make him the perfect home, and am so excited that she found me. I will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Kristi

annabelles mom · 01-29-2008, 02:35 PM

Kristi I sure hope you have found Count's new home fingers and paws crossed for you

Linz81 · 01-29-2008, 08:35 PM

I have fallen in love with Count's and (Parker? is it?) coloring. The white and brown partis. Does anyone know where I could find one??? Any breeder recommendations?
