Here’s the update: the bernedoodle pup plan I mentioned ended up not panning out. It’s okay.
It’s okay.
Because The Boyfriend, through a wonderful, awesome work connection, got us on a list for a litter of f1b goldendoodles. (F1B = goldendoodle + poodle. As Dave would say: extra fluffy. As Lindsay would say: zero shedding.) Bless his heart, he didn’t want me to have to wait any longer and thought my dream dog should be my next dog. (And he’s super excited too.)
The puppies were born yesterday! We are #6 on a list for eight puppies so the gender/color that will come home with us is not yet known. But they’re here! And one will come to live with me/Dave towards the end of March. (Shared custody-ish? Mostly with me. But probably some back and forth, house to house, as schedules need.)
So super excited.
there's no place like gnome. 
Does that include changing the diapers??/dog walks…The sharing I mean!
haha. We’ll see! Hopefully there will be some shared responsibility!
So excited for you! Can’t wait to meet her/him😊
That is so exciting Linnie! Please keep the posts and pics coming!!!
