GOLDIE

My prayers have been answered! I have a new little puppy and she has already brought so much joy into our lives. Having a dog is life changing, because I can’t just pick up and go whenever I want now. However, I do have some family members that will be available for us when we travel, so that is why I decided to have a dog finally at 53 years old. Now is actually the perfect time for us to have a dog and we are all so thankful that she is ours. Her name is Goldie and she is a medium size golden doodle. I can’t wait to take her out for a run and long walks one day!

I have a lot to learn and have gotten the best advice from family, friends, and readers! So, thank you if you have sent me any tips! I really appreciate it! I’ve been sharing her updates on Instagram, plus I created an Instagram highlight titled ‘Goldie’, where you can catch up in case you missed anything.

Goldie’s Goodies

I was asked to share what I ordered for her already, so here’s a list of what I ordered for her so far. The blue and white floral collar is adorable and embroidered with her name, however the small size was too big for her, so she’ll have to grow into it. I’m also going to order her a harness one day.

Goldie’s Gotcha Day

My youngest son and I drove five hours north to pick her up and drove back the same day. She was so good in the car and didn’t get car sickness. When we got home there was a surprise “Gotcha Day Party” for Goldie! I’m so thankful that my hubby agreed to get this puppy! He thinks she’s the cutest puppy he’s ever seen! Ha ha!
