Hi Vicky,
How are you? I hope your trip went well, and your family is doing great!
I wanted to give you a Leo update. He is still the best puppy ever! Everyone we meet and everywhere we go, people comment on how good/beautiful/smart/soft/etc. he is. He is just under 30 lbs (a little heavier than we expected) but he is a good size – big enough that you don’t have to worry about squishing him, but small enough tot still fit on your lap. His fur is soft and wavy and great for snuggling. He loves to get his tummy rubbed.
He is a fun loving little guy, and he loves to steal things since he knows that he’ll get a treat when he gives them back (I’ve created a monster, but it’s better than buying new shoes….). He barks like a BIG dog, but he doesn’t bark often. He’s very observant, and cocks his little head when he’s listening to you. He is an “aggressive” chewer, so we have to make sure he has lots of things that he is supposed to chew on (again, he likes those shoes, the more expensive, the yummier apparently).
Here are a few pictures. I included a picture just before he got a haircut – and then after his summer cut (it came out shorter than I wanted, I loved the shaggy look, but he was really hot).
I’ve had several people asking where we got him – even the Camp Bow Wow receptionist called to find out where he came from, and a few friends. Lots of people didn’t realize Labradoodles can be so small. (Of course, I get, “is he a cock-a-poo, golden doodle, wheaten” most of the time anyway).
We love him lots!
Janeen and family
