As I’ve posted before, we’ve been looking into getting a dog for quite a while now. We finally picked her up on Wednesday.

Her name is Diva. She’s a labradoodle that was just retired from breeding. She’s going to be 5 in June.

Her mother is a medium standard poodle, and her father is an F1 labradoodle, so she’s 3/4 poodle, 1/4 lab.

She got a bath to get her smelling like a dog instead of like a kennel full of dogs. Wow, does her hair hold water…

Then she spent some time soaking her feet, which are a little raw (we’re guessing from the concrete floors at the breeder).

Here she is!

She’s always that mellow. We’ve never heard her bark. She will let us examine her paws, play with her food while she’s eating, examine inside her ears, just about anything without a fuss at all. She already walks on a slack leash (no dragging us around!). She sleeps through the night in her crate at the foot of our bed. She never jumps up on anyone or anything. We can’t believe how great she is.

Now if we can just get her to “do her business” in the right place in the backyard…
