Happy Easter!

We are more than halfway now! Before you know it, I will finally have puppy pictures on the blog instead of my random posts :) Until then, I'd like to share some of Sophie's baby pictures with you. I tried to find baby pictures of Koda and realized we brought him home before we had a digital camera! I was able to find only one puppy picture of him and of course we don't have a scanner installed on this computer. It is installed on my labtop that died on me (it was 5yrs old) and after searching forever for Koda's pictures, I had no intentions of hunting for the driver disk to that printer! Sophie's cuteness will make up for it though :)

Here is a picture we took when we went to go pick Sophie out/up:

If I remember right, she was 6 weeks old. We drove all the way to Sedona (it's about 2 1/2 hours from our house) to pick her up. Sophie was added to our pack as a friend for Mandi. So naturally, we brought Mandi with us to "pick" her out. We had already had Sophie (the breeder had named her "Fiona") in mind when we went up there, but were weren't 100% because all we had to go off of were the pictures on the website and we were contemplating one of the blonde females also.

However, Sophie was the only one that would play with Mandi! Both of the blonde females were afraid of her. So that settled that, and we took her home. It was funny though on the way home. My mom was holding Sophie in the front seat and Mandi was in her seat belt in the back seat. I think Mandi thought we had just gone over there to play, and she didn't realize we were keeping one because the whole way home she kept making funny noises like growling and grunts but they weren't full blown, kind of under her breath! If this is your first Labradoodle, you guys are in for a treat. They are the funniest dogs ever :) Well the animosity soon wore off  as soon as we arrived home:

(this is a sequence of events. Don't worry, they were just playing)

Mandi: "Come here you!"

Mandi: "Hey! quit biting my leg!"

Mandi: "How's it feel, you little turkey?"

Mandi: "Now I've got you!"

Sophie: "Save me!"

Mandi: "Hey, you make a good pillow"

Sophie: "I don't want to be a pillow! Get your big head off me!"

Sophie: "Hey wait! Where are you going??"

Then later on...................

Mandi: "I love my new friend"

Mandi: "She will be my baby, and I will clean her, and play with her, and teach her all my bad habits..." :)

When I was going through these pictures, this one struck me as ironic because it was soon after that she ate the arm and side of this couch. After being patched back together a couple times, it soon became the dogs' couch.

Here are a couple more random ones:
