We picked up our Maggie girl almost two weeks ago. I was real shocked to see how big she was already since the last time we saw pictures. Of course we immediately fell in love! For those of you out of the loop, Maggie is a standard goldendoodle. She is absolutely beautiful.
The first two days were really hard. Don't get me wrong, she is totally worth it, but we were exhausted. Puppyhood demands a lot of attention and we basically can't take our eyes off of her unless she is sleeping. One thing I am grateful for is how smart she is. She is picking up on potty training super fast, already knows "lay down", "sit", "stay", "high five" and loves her crate! We even sleep until 6 am without her even whimpering to go outside. The only thing we are trying to figure out right now is trying to find someone affordable or a friend that we could pay to take her out for a walk around lunchtime. Any takers??? :) Todd still doesn't have a job (keep praying) so that may be his job for a while but we want to be prepared at any moment to know what we will do with her in case he gets one. I know when she is older she can hold it and will also roam the house but we have a long road ahead of us before that happens.
In other news, we are petty much all settled in our new home. Unfortunately the guest bedroom is still a mess but at least the rest of the house is livable. I plan to post pictures real soon (whenever Maggie naps of course). So far we are loving Charlotte, especially all the food and shopping choices. We have great neighbors including close friends. I started work this week (workdays) and I'm loving my coworkers and the school atmosphere. It's going to be a great year!
That's all for now!
