Yes, we now have a dog. This is our new 11 month old Labradoodle, Topaz. He has been with us for about a month now and is making himself at home. He has traveled alot this first year, he was born in South Illinois and then bought by a family in Chicago along with his brother. However, after sending him to Paducah for obedience training and then going home his family realized they were in over their heads with two big dogs and two small children. He was then sent back to Paducah with the trainer who ran a few ads to try to find him a good home.
One Sunday night I mischievously told Mike I was going to look for a lab puppy in the paper. We weren't really planning on getting a dog so soon! However, much to my delight I found the ad for Topaz. He is 11 months old, obedience trained, microchipped, and house broke and he was a Labradoodle (my dream dog). It seemed too good to be true, but with the encouragement of my friend Randi I called about him. Randi, Ali, and I went to check him out the next day and I was sold. Mike came and fell for him as well. Well, Mike initially fell for the fact that he doesn't shed. Needless to say, he came home with us later that day. He is a great people dog, doesn't shed, but still has enough puppy in him to be a goofball.
As you can see above in the first picture he already has a beloved monkey. The monkey goes everywhere that he does. He also has a great friend in Ali. She was mimicking that he was laying down curled up in a ball the other night. So they are two peas in a pod. It was pretty hilarious.
I am sure I will have many Topaz stories in the future. Stay tuned.
