Scout


We have a new puppy! She is a Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever + Toy Poodle = smaller, non-shedding, shaggy, mellow, intelligent dog).   We picked her up Saturday, and her first 2 days at home she has been fantastic.  She slept really well last night, no whining, and only needed to go outside once.  She was just in her bed in our room, and she stayed right there.  The kids are head over heels for her.  She is sweet and patient with them, but also ready to play when they are.  She seems to like to just lie at our feet when we're eating meals or sitting on the couch or standing still long enough for her to settle in.  She is snuggly and fluffy and seems to be catching on to things quickly.  We are thrilled with her!  (I need to get some better pictures...)

Sleeping while the girls eat ice cream.

Sleeping again.

 We went on a walk today. She loved all the seed-head dandelions. We didn't get far :)
