HOORAY! SHILO HAS A NEW HOME!!

First, I would like to thank my breeder friend, Mary Pat of Nestlewood Labradoodles for posting about her on her Facebook Page.  A wonderful couple saw it and contacted me.

Christy and Tom came to visit Shilo last Friday and claimed that she was exactly what they were looking for and it was obvious Shilo felt the same way.  I waited a long time and it certainly paid off. Shilo and her new owners are a perfect fit and I know she will be loved, spoiled and trained well.

I will post a pic when she is picked up on Tuesday, October 29th.

On a different note, the storm here last Wednesday did a number here at ADNE.  A huge old pine tree fell in our front yard and just missed our home by ten feet!!  I never heard it fall and it was over 80 feet tall!  The wind and rain was so intense I did not know until I looked out my window the next morning.  Imagine my surprise!  My first thought was - Thank GOD it missed the house!  Also, the way it fell was not across my driveway but along the side of it crushing our fence for the doodles on that side.  So, lots of wood to be cut up, branches to be removed and debris to be raked and removed.  It will take my husband the rest of this week to clean it up then the poor man needs to re-do our fence.  I sure hope he enjoyed his trip to New Orleans while all this happened.  He is sure paying for it now!  Oi.  Here are a couple of pics.

Today, I gave Shilo a bath and a slight trim.

What a delight!  Not too many people can say that about bathing and drying a dog!  I knew Shilo loved water and she was sooooo good about letting me spray all over.  The soap didn't bother her at all (tear free, of course!) and she enjoyed the rubbing and rinsing.  What really surprised me was the hair dryer!  She was not concerned about all the air and blowing at all - even when I did her face - she rather enjoyed the warm blowing air.  :+)

After the slight trim (well behaved), bath and blowing out her coat, she went outdoors to run around and shake her pretty curls back into place.

Yes, she still enjoys this fluffy toy!  :+). Love the bit of sun that makes her coat sparkle!
