Hailey


About three years ago, while I was Pregnant with Lily, Kevin and I were driving along, and spotted a big fluffy muppet like Dog walking with her owner. I told kevin to pull over so I could ask the woman what breed it was. Expecting it to be a Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier (another favorite of mine) without a haircut. To my surprise she said it was not, although she used to have one of those too, she said this is a Goldendoodle. We went home and Googled Doodles and Found OOdles and oodles of doodles all different sizes and shapes and colors, Labradoodles, shnoodles you get the idea. We fell in love with them. I am a Jim Henson fan after all. They remind me of Sprocket from Fraggle Rock. The other reason for loving them is that they are low to non-shedding and that is a big plus, being that I'm allergic to animals but would really love a dog. And I love golden retreivers for their temperment, and their beautiful coat. We searched and searched for a Goldendoodle breader in our area and found that they are quite expensive. So we put it off, and would look them up online every once in a while hoping something would come up. Well, this week we had the oportunity to adopt a Nine month old Goldendoodle that is absolutely gorgeous. And I don't have to deal with potty training a dog, while potty training Eden. SWEET! We pick her up on this thursday the 14th. Lily and Eden are so excited. So are we. We have her picture up on our laptop, trying to think of a name for her. So far I think her name will be Hailey. The choices were Riley, Hailey, Sophie, Chloe, & Zoe which were also some of our choices for our girls names. Lily picked Hailey though and there is no convincing her other wise.Here is a snapshot of "Hailey" our very own muppet. So much Fun!
