Dec 18th Road Trip

Fun rest stop at like 6am Saturday in Texas and freezing!

Ok so Friday December 18th was my last day of work for 2 weeks. Call me crazy but we did a turnaround road trip to Texas, Yes I said Texas! Lloyd has been wanting a Yellow Lab, its not a yellow lab but actually a Labradoodle which is a mix of Poodle and Lab. She sheds but not as much. She is also 1 year old and has papers. Before Christmas I was looking for Labradoodles and they were from 900.00 to 2500.00. Yes folks very expensive and out of the question. I found one online of course from a couple who couldn't manage her anymore.(They were old and had grand babies very young) Casey likes to jump so she would knock over the kids and they couldn't take her for walks either as she is very strong and inerjetic. Ok IE not trained well. If we drove to get her she was free. Of course I'm all about the good deal. With gas round trip and motel room we are looking at 350.00 and we got to see pretty much the whole state of Texas as we were just outside Houston! Yes we had to drive all the way across Texas and that is no little state let me tell you! Casey used to sleep in a cage every night, not anymore she sleeps on our bed or Michelle's bed now and does great. The first few days I wasn't sure the other dogs were going to take to her at all. She was a Alpha dog there and Sadie is our Alpha dog here. 2 Alpha dogs and what do you get. Lots of barking, teeth snarling, chasing and oh my goodness what have I done!! Well its been a week and they are all doing much better. Not where we need to end up but better. They play outside now, ok Willits and her finally play together as Miss Priss Sadie sits there and watches. Casey will go up to her and taunt her until she chases her. Willits and Casey spent last night out together so they can get real chummy. They were playing, sniffing and kissing by this morning. Which is good because in my mind they need to get real friendly! Willits is a boy and shes a girl coming into heat in 2 or 3 months. Then we will have baby Labradoodles that we will sale at pet prices so more people can have them without paying 1000.00. I'm thing 400 or 500 I'm not greedy ok maybe just a little. They will be a lot more work than my miniature poodles were.
