Ms. Chancy was not the bestest puppy yesterday. She was a digger puppy and she has now mastered the fine art of the “air chomp” soon to be followed by the more advanced “acrobatic air chomp”. Yes I almost had to stop Andrea from putting her on Craig’s List.
It was a sunny but chilly morning yesterday when Chancy dragged her parents to his first Annapolis Doodle Romp. She had a BIG time there with all the doodles and especially her new found friend, Gabriel who is just a few days younger than Chancy.
The objective was to get her so tired that she would be a welcome guest to her Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Keith's house later on Saturday afternoon for Chelsea and Evan's Bday party! She was pretty good, but loves to chase little kids and sometimes takes a nibble or two! She had a great time and slept the whole way home from Warrenton back to Alexandria!
Chancy did really well at Woofs Training Academy in Arlington, VA! She was the "head of her class". When she first started there about 6 weeks ago, she was the most shy puppy there...and seemed to only want to make friends with the tiny Chiuaua puppy who weighed 3 pounds. By the 2nd week, she was integrated with the larger puppies (all ranging from 10-16 weeks). Two weeks ago they were calling her the "cruise director" as she was rounding up all the puppies for playtime!
Last night was her last night in Puppy Kindergarten! Chancy was praised by her trainer and really enjoyed the class...we did too, she sleeps all night after them!
We start Puppy Basics on April 21st! Chancy is looking forward to it!
Our little girl turned 4 Months on March 20th! We are still debating on her weight... she was 34 pounds the night before and 32 pounds in the morning on her birthday! The rule of thumb for Goldendoodles is to take their weight at 4 months, double it and add 10 pounds..that should be their adult weight! So we are looking at 74 - 78 pound Doodle!
She also on her birthday was able to do a new task. Jump on Mommy & Daddy's bed without assistance. There is no more safety zones in the house! She's getting bigger every day and a little more calm (except around 6:30AM and 1:30PM and 6:30PM)...she is known as Crazy Puppy during those hours!
She's recovered from her Kennel Cough and is all set for Doggie Training again at Woofs on Thursday night!
We took Ms. Chancy (aka Crazy Puppy) to her 4:30pm appointment. The vet says she just needs some cough suppressant because she does not have a fever and antibiotics would not be necessary. Lets hope the cough suppressant will make her sleepy as well. We also weighed her when she was at the Vet and she is now 30.2 Pounds!
Chancy had a busy weekend with a puppy party at Woofs on Saturday morning and then meeting her cousins for the first time in Warrenton, VA at Grandma & Grandpa Buchanan's house. She had so much fun..we thought she'd sleep through the night.
About 12:30AM she started coughing and making sounds like she was dry heaving. Poor thing...Jim realized by around 3AM that she probably had Kennel Cough. We are taking her to the vet this afternoon to get the official diagnosis and some medication to make her feel better....
We took chancy over to Bilbo for them to play together for the 1st time. They both had a good time and Bilbo chomped the crazy puppy back. Chancy was not afraid of Mr. B and went after him with her little sharp chompers.
Took Chancy to the vet to get her last round of puppy shots. She is now a 26.5 doodle. The vet says she will get to be around 65lbs. so she has a lot of growing to do.
We have just fallen in love with this "Goldendoodle" breed of dog. We live just a few miles outside of Washington, DC and enjoy meeting up at Doodle Romps with other Doodles in the area!
