I guess it's time to finally say hello!
Hi everyone, I'm Foster's mom and I was in shock to realize that I have been lurking in the background of this great forum for 2 years now.
I just want to say how much I have enjoyed reading about the amazing journeys you have all experienced thanks to the fact that you share your lives with a doodle. My dood's name is Foster. He is a 2 year old miniature, Australian multi-generational labradoodle. Foster came to us after many month's of research trying to find a medium sized dog, with a big dog personality and a coat that would not bother my allergies and asthma. His size was important because I have difficulty walking because of a bad ankle injury. Foster is the youngest member of our family and the only one who has fur. He has a 14 year old sister named Sam and a 20 year old brother named Nick. His dad's name is Frank and I am Denise. As I said earlier I have enjoyed reading about your adventures and have often found myself laughing or crying and thinking I need to tell them that Foster does that too. And many times I just wanted to write to say thank you. Thank you for the information, thank you for the laughs, thank you for the touching story, etc. I don't know why I didn't until now. Perhaps because it all seems to good to be true. I have not run into many doodle owners where I live and I have found that many people question me as to why I didn't just get a pure bred dog that didn't shed. Lately I've found that I don't even tell people that Foster's a labradooodle. When they ask what kind of dog he is I just say that he's a poodle mix. But here, I can say Foster is a Labradoodle and you all know what that means. You're not going to think I'm "crazy to have spent that much money" on a mutt. You know the frustration of having to explain to the groomer that your not being mean to poodles when you say that you do not want a poodle cut. You know that I'm not lying when I tell you that he really can smile. You don't judge you accept and you share and I want to do that too. I won't be able to be as clever as some of you. I won't be able to offer the great advice that so many of you experts can do. But I look forward to saying, thank you, so sorry, way to go, good luck, and letting you know about my wonderful friend Foster the Labradoodle. |

Wow, why did I wait so long. Thanks for the great welcome everyone. I kind of feel like NORM walking into Cheers and getting a shout out from all the "regulars".
