SHE'S MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to pick her up on Saturday morning.

I'm so excited I can't type!!!!!

THe vet said that Buster is in pretty good shape, all things considered. He thought another dog would be good for him. He siad that if Buster could choose, he'd probably pick a 4 or 5 year old companion, but he will tolerate a puppy okay. I told the vet all about Buffy, and he said Buster should do great with a friend like that! I'll tell ya, that vet just earned the thousands of dollars I have paid him over the years - ha ha. Truly, I've always liked him and totally trusted his judgement!

So, I called and confirmed it with the husband - and he's in.

I just got off the phone with the lady from the rescue and she's ours. We are going to run down there Saturday morning to pick her up. OMG I am so excited.

You guys better be ready for lots of photos!!!! Maybe Gene could teach me how to make a link like he did?

Okay - let loose with the advice, everyone! Novice doodle parent in the room!!!!!!!!

Welcome to "DOODLE LOVE".

My husband started out saying, "it's your dog...you'll have to train, clean up yada yada yada. Now it's, "Tanner's daddy's good boy....what a good boy".

Doodles wrap these guys around their "paws" in no time. Soon you'll hear that it was your hubby's idea.

My most important items for doodles list include"

Bully Sticks
Nature's Miracle
Groomacomb

Razz

Congratulations Betty! I'm so excited for you. Our doodle family just keeps growing around here! Very Happy

Hi Betty, congratulations, she is a beauty! I know that you will be very happy with her and I respect and admire anyone who gives a loving home to one of these "discarded" darlings.

Your happiness should not be marred with my argument against selling puppies through shelters...so I promise, I won't rain on your parade...I am sincerely happy for you. This puppy is darling!

Here are a couple pictures of Buffy's big brother Buster:

He's laying down here - photography by my 7 year old!

Do they have "I'm a Big Brother" t-shirts for dogs?

Jac - I totally get what you are saying. I truly don't think that this woman, this rescue, is doing that. This woman at the rescue essentially put this byb out of business. She took the adults out of there. Just as an example of the kind of rescue this is.......they took a 1/2 dozen heartworm infected labradors from the Tennessee lab rescue, because they won't treat them there. They were all young adult labs - cute as can be. Now she is getting them all set for adoption.
You can check out the website to see if you think they are legit...www.kylabrescue.com. I read your post under another thread about this very subject, and I completely agree that it would be wrong to intentionally acquire doodles from mills or byb or brokers, to sell them at shelters to make money for the shelter/rescue. In my heart of hearts, I do not believe that this is what this rescue is doing. She did not seek these dogs out.
At any rate - I'm down right giddy. I really appreciate your support!!!!
Thanks.

Betty,
I'm so excited for you!! And Buster is one handsome boy. I'm sure he'll be glad to have a breathing chew toy!! Wink

I know how you're feeling right now since I just went through it last saturday. It's exciting and a little scary at the same time, but well worth it. I would definately take Buster with you to meet his new sister to see what he thinks. Jonah was fine with Miko, but he had more interest in the cats!

The rescue I went through in WV did the same thing. They bought out the breeder because he was being "investigated". Glad he's done, and so glad I could save Miko. Since he bobbed all there tails, they wouldn't even have made it to a pet store, probably dumped somewhere......
