So, yeah, you might have seen on Facebook that we have a 10 week old Goldendoodle puppy.
I’m thinking most people think we were bit crazy to get a puppy now, but that is kind of how we roll at our house.
I guess you would say we are the kind of people who get a puppy even though it seems like it “isn’t best time for that.”
A few weeks ago our girls decided that their younger brother, who just turned 11, needed a puppy. I was thinking, yeah, sure, Winston is 16 now so yeah, we could start thinking about a puppy. Next year when things settle down a bit. Yes, sure. Let’s plan it out so we’ll be all ready, NEXT YEAR. We’ll fence in our yard and THEN we’ll get a puppy. Yes.
Right now we have pallets crashing boom banging on my deck and paint flying off of ladders and we are busy relaunching our church this fall in the new building. We’ve got lots to do.
And now, we have Jack. So, yeah.
We kind of adore him.
HOW COULD YOU SAY NO TO THAT FACE?
I rest my case.

we love doggies over here and Jack is so precious. There is no way you could say no! We have a golden/black cocker mix and she is so sweet. Thinking a goldendoodle may make a good buddy for Claire. If only I can convince my husband.
I love dogs! And who could resist this face! I screamed with utter joy seeing your new baby! So cute!
Thank you Connie
I’m so happy to have him!!
oh how cute is he?!!!! How’s your Westie handling the new bundle of fur?
what a sweetie!!! I’m so excited for you and your family.

Melissa,
Personally, there is NEVER a bad time to get a puppy and yes, every 11 year old boy should have one. Besides, who wouldn’t love that face…what a great new family member. BTW, lots of folks in our neighborhood have labrodoodles or goldendoodles and they all say the same thing, “these are the best doggies”.
Congratulations! You’ll get all the other stuff done, I have confidence in you.
Karen
That is the CUTEST puppy – and I’m more of a cat person, lol! I hope you have lots of fun with him.
Oh my goodness…he is so precious!!
He is adorable! We are getting our second dog in a week for our current dog to play with. We are very excited. Have fun and best of luck with everything!
Melissa…he is adorable! What a love! What’s one more warm body, right? lol You will be busy and he’ll help! He’ll be the stress reliever whenever you need it.
Some friends of ours have a Goldendoodle named Daisy. She is absolutely the best dog! I hope yours is half as sweet as there’s is. Congratulations on the new family member!
* theirs ; )
He is such a cutie.
We have one too, “Gracie”… and she looks a lot like yours. She is 8 months now, and really, I don’t think I will ever have another breed. She is eager to please, sweet, gentle, and very calm!
Ahh, Jack is precious!!! We have a GoldenDoodle, Tucker, who will be 5 this month. He is a loyal friend, smart companion and my heart on four legs. I will readily admit that he was a crazy puppy. So I highly recommend training as soon as he’s old enough. Enjoy him!
Oh how adorable!! we have two Goldens (not the mixed kind) and they are wonderful. Now that my daughter has looked over my shoulder and read this post with me… she wants a Goldendoodle too!! Give that cute puppy a hug for me. and I LOVE THE NAME.
adorable i love dogs good luck to you and your family with jack
hah! Yes, a friend of mine got a Goldendoodle last year, he’s a year and a half now–huge, black, and too smart for his own good. I did a lot of puppy sitting for him when he was brand new. Such a cutie.
He’s adorable, congratulations!! My kids are dying for a puppy but we just aren’t ready right now.

Awww.I have never gotten a pup at”the right time”.Mine have been rescues all adult life so it was when they needed me.Hindsight being 20/20,it was the perfect time.Once,it saved both our lives&she became my home PT as I wrapped up pool therapy&learning to walk on land again.MissWoogie was my “feverdog”&knew when the lupus was tuning up b4 I did.Xena found@2mos by regional sales mgr friend in industrial park,beaten,burned&starved.They had 6 little rescues&knew what a beauty big girl Woog turned out to be.So I took saucerfeet about the time Mom’s femur snappd above the knee replacement-she saved Daddy.He was so worried4momma had PE postop&was nasty to us.Broke his heart.His”grrrls”he called”humans in dog suits”made it better when stayd w me.In 03 momma inpatnt almost 2mos with stones blocking all 3ducts,liver,pancreas,gallbladder.By then the poststroke dementia was really bad,wound up pneum&chest tube&had do open surg.Told him had get pittie,spay heald-what?!

PS-tho I was teased incessantly about “my” 30barn cats, and if it “crosses the property Susan names it&feeds it”, my horse was a rescue-by Daddy. And didnt even get the ramps down on cattle truck-she ran&jumped in to go with the nice man! So pretty with her big pink bow just after 10th bday. And I shoveled@5a in blizzards&carried water when pipes froze-cuz that’s what I was taught. God’s creatures&blessed by the land-it was ours to be stewards. Full obit at http://www.bauerfuneralhome1943.com -all that was daddy is what makes me tick. Am a daddy’s girl always…broken but will “get back in saddle”. And protect momma for him-70yr love affair almost 66anniv/Oct. Iwo Marine&WAC-yes momma wore Army boots@Pentagon troop logistics.Went rabbit huntin’ in KY &came back w a “dear”. (daddy joke
). LotsaLove to JackPuppy. It will be perfect-always is.

If u go look@ obit,last name EVIN. I took mine back 22yrs ago. It was momma&daddy’s and they are my heroes&dearest friends. It was mine, their gift. Love u Melissa &all. Always make sure I tell ppl I care about. Hv been remiss in blogland.
I have a golden doodle and we love her so much!
So adorable! It’s like a kid, if you wait until everything is just right, you’ll never have one. So you did the right thing. He’s awesome!!!
I love you’re new baby and Im sure he’s happy he can’t get into much trouble now that there is a special place fixed up . We have gone through this many times ourself,there is never a perfect time to getting a pet you just do it and start making changes. We got a rescue puppy a little over a yr. ago and we work on making changes sometimes week by week as the puppy gets older. If you can take your pet to traning school, this is very effective and fun for them so he can learn and you too so you can understand their needs. Best wishes to your family and traing your litte one.
I also got a puppy a few years ago before my German shepard got too old. Our sheltie mix puppy was a great companion for me and our older dog. Jack looks like he’ll bring your family alot of joyful memories. Love your site!
Adorable baby boy you have!! We have a goldendoodle too named Oscar. He’s 4 and is the most AMAZING dog ever! He’s actually a rescue dog. We got him after he’d already been re-homed 6 times!!! can you imagine EVER rehoming a goldendoodle?? I can’t! especially since he’s the sweetest guy ever! And did I mention potty trained?? Ya…he’s perfect! You will adore jack even more as he grows. They are amazing with kids too!
Can you give me the information for your Goldendoodle breeder please? We live in the Seattle area and are looking to add a Goldendoodle to our family. We have a Golden Retriever. Thanks.
P.S. Love your site!
You have a Jack I have a Dukie. Jack is a doll baby.
We have a doodle, Remy. He’s about a year older than Jack. I’ve absolutely fallen in love with goldendoodles and I plan to be a life-long doodle owner.
Oh my. My heart has being going pitter patter for one of these for awhile now. I want one so much! What area do you live in?
Crystal recently posted..New Sunroom Addition
Jack is absolutely adorable!! My family is considering a labradoodle, and we love the look of yours. Please could you share where you got him from? Do you have a breeders name and contact details that you could pass on?
All the very best of luck and love in having Jack in your family.

Your little doggie jack is adorable.Im assuming he is not so “little” anymore, Figuring you brought him home in july? or sometime this last summer? Anyway me and my family got a golden retriever this last summer as well for my 8 year old brother, im 26 incase you were wondering not 12, and he has turned out to be the most wonderful dog we have ever had…and he is only six mo! (fingers crossed).
I have had golden retrievers all my life, then I go t maried, and the soon to me ex hated dogs. I don’t know if you are selling this dog, but money is hard for me, he cleaned all the money I had. I would be willing to make paymates, so I guess I just pray to God, that someone would help me. If you don’t contact me, I really do understand. God Bless you all., and thank you for reading this pasetic letter. I just need somone to love me.
