Wilderwood Graduation Day 1 - Sept 2009

This month's graduation is off to a great start!!

I had to keep my emotions in check for the most part as I watched Ben and his boy interact with each other, it was most definatly meant to be!

Though I didn't spend much time with Team Daniel; they too were getting along wonderfully!

I'm really excited to see how the rest of  the week goes, but if its anything like today it will be great.

 

Yep...Daniel got a poodle hair cut :(( 

#WetWednesday - Meet Daniel

And another Wednesday heads out of here with a splash. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. Dog introductions 1:1 is hard enough by oneself, but add in three dogs plus a thunderstorm.. and that just equals chaos!

But anyways - Meet Wilderwood Service Dog #5 and SD #8 over all.

Meet Daniel: 10 month old Golden Retriever/Poodle Cross - also brother too one Eden, whom you all saw a couple of months ago. Daniel will be with me...until I hear otherwise!!

One thing to know about going into public with an Goldendoodle....is wow you'll get TONS of questions. After picking Daniel up from his foster, we went in PetsMart to pick up some grooming supplies. (Gideon is need of it); a family with two litter girls followed us around the ENTIRE time we were there, hugging on him, laying on him, talking to him, talking got me, pouncing on him again once we were able to tear ourselves away....it had gone from cute to annoying real quickly, and I just kept running into them!!

I left as fast as possible, *eye roll*; But Daniel did really well though :D

Once home, then chaos ensued pretty much. But we're all inside, and had some time exercising, and starting to get Daniel acclimated to my home.

{Gideon is ecstatic to have another big dog in the house...even though Daniel not into playing at the moment.}
He's showing typical stress signs, so we're he'll just get to hang out for about week, before we start putting him through some paces.

--Speaking of wetness, I bathed all three dogs last weekend.....all at the same time:

That wasn't the plan, but once Bubbles and Texas were in, Gideon couldn't be left out!!

December 1 {by Texas}

Happy December 1st everyone!! I've been in my new house one week today, and already I am loving it! My mom is the best ever, and I want to be with her ALLL The time! I don't like it when I can't be with her, and have to tell everyone how unhappy I am, sometimes people are worried that I may be hurt, but mom always goes, "He's fine just doesn't like not being with me".
I'm also learning a bunch of things, like "get busy", and "sit" and am learning "quiet" and "down". Mom says its hard to see if I have done "down" because I am already so low to the ground. The "Quiet" command is the hardest to learn cause I really, really, really like to bark.
I'm also learning how to walk on a leash, and that's super hard, cause I really want to run as FAST as possible, but its super hard with that thing pulling me back.... *sigh* Mom says I'm a either a 0 or 100 dog. Is that good? I don't know. Anyways I'm going to bed. Got a day full of barking tomorrow!!

TTYL!
