Puppy Power!

That's what my second grader tells me before getting on the bus in the morning. He's convinced saying 'puppy power' will keep him focused and guarantee him a good day :)

Well, I promised puppy pics didn't I? Our little girl is a 7 week old F1b labradoodle...meaning her mom is a labradoodle and her dad is a standard poodle. She should end up with a wavy fleece coat that is low to non-shedding and hypoallergenic from a dander perspective. We also have first generation, 4yo labradoodle with a curly fleece coat, and we've had no allergy problems with her. She's like a nanny to my kids, and she has taken to mommyhood quite readily with our new pup.





She has been great on the potty training front, but I have had to wake up once between 2-3:00am to let her out. She's napping right now :) Wish I could, but there's tons to do...including visiting all the blogs I've been missing!

  1. I could use some puppy power. Wouldn't that look great on a t-shirt?

  2. I think I'm in puppy love. How I envy the no shedding part. And the hypo-allergenic part. Sigh.

  4. She is so cute. I love that your older dog gets to play mom and isn't jealous of the new puppy. You will have lots of puppy love this season.

  5. Thanks everyone! Puppy Power would make a great t-shirt :) She really is a sweetie, and she's really smart. She's already scratching at the door when she needs to go, and after only one reward treat, she picked up on the 'sit' command. Now, I hope I don't jinx things LOL!

  7. Hey Kathy! I'm so glad you're 'back'! Squeezable is a great way to put it lol. There's just something about babies...regardless of species :). She actually slept through the night last night. Whew!

  9. Hey Megan! Thanks :) She'll be much smaller than a Newfie, but everytime I look at her I think of the Newfie on your Stand In Mom trading card.

  10. Puppy love! Your new baby is adorable. Congrats! My girl is almost seven months old. Can't believe how fast they change. But some things I'm hoping change sooner rather than later. Jessie is part pack rat. She brings things from all over--branches ten times her size, hunks of wood, anything plastic, kid toys, you name it--to a spot she's claimed in the front yard. It cracks me up. I always know when my son has left his garage door open...sigh.

    Have a happy Christmas with your new addition!

  11. Hey Deb! Great to see you :) Thanks on the puppy. She's really a good girl, but she does like branches. She keeps tearing branches off my lavender bush and then she tries to carry them inside. At least she has good taste in scents ;).
