First entry

Sheryl and I are getting a dog!! We think we are going to name her Lucy. She is most likely a girl. She is definitely a cockapoo. She was born in very late February and we will be picking her up the first weekend of May.

We are VERY EXCITED!! We spent a lot of time reading about breeds and stalking dogs at Peter's Park and we think that a nice, social, female cockapoo will be the ideal addition to our family. There were lots of great choices and we definitely agonized. But once we made up our mind we got to focus on finding a breeder.

Lydia Groen is the breeder. She and her husband Joe live in New Hampshire. They have had 3 litters with this mom before and this is the last one. Lucy's mom's name is Keebler. She is a 20lb. cocker spaniel. She is a little shy at first but VERY sweet and LOVES to fetch! Can you believe it?? (Hopefully lucy will too. My two secret (well not super secret) hopes are that she loves to fetch and swim. What a fun companion she would be!!)

I thought to create this blog because I was creating a list of all the things we need to buy which made me think of all the fun we are going to have! Trials and tribulations too, I am sure, but it will all be for the best.
