Default O/T Going to look at a doggie today.
I'm nervous ... I don't know why!
We are going to look at an almost 2 year old golden doodle.
The family lives in the country and has a farm/barn and there are a lot of cats around and their daughter likes to name and befriend the cats and apparently the dog DOES NOT like cats and I guess it's traumatizing when the dog tries to attack the cats.
They have 2 other dogs that have no problem with the cats. I don't have cats or plan on getting one since I'm allergic so no problem here.
This will be our first dog here though so I think that's why I'm nervous. I had a dog when I lived with my parents and she passed away last summer .
And we've wanted to get a dog but were waiting until winter was over.

So I'm excited but nervous too!

Congratulations!!! Golden doodles are great dogs! My best friend and my mom each have one, and they're so sweet and loyal. Fun personalities, too!

I adopted my first dog last summer, and it's the best thing I've ever done! My boyfriend also just adopted a puppy, so now we have a little monster running around and keeping my princess active.

Dogs make life so much better

YES! post some pictures!!

Congrats on getting a dog!! My dog has changed my life as I am sure your dog will change yours.

My man and I got one last June and Molly has been a blessing ever since (and my first motivator to lose weight! I lost 20 pounds just dog walking!)
