Oh Boomer. I swore I wouldn't do it. I said NO WAY until our fence was complete and everyone in the house was potty trained. But in the end, I was the one who found and brought Boomer into our home. And I even might love him the most.
I saw on Facebook that a friend was giving away theyre 11 month Golden Doodle puppy and it stuck with me. Part of the reason I haven't agreed to a dog and I seriously cannot abide shedding. Like I will die if I sit on my own couch and get up covered in dog hair. Baby throw up, fine. A mushed banana, Not suprising. But dog hair...oh the injustice.
So when I saw that they were giving away a golden doodle I was interested b/c I know they don't shed. I also know they are ranked like the BEST family dog, and that we would never be able to afford that type of breed. I sent a pic of Pat at work and asked if he liked the look of the dog, totally on a whim. I then emailed my friend and asked if the dog was available for us to try out, but I was sure he wasn't b/c I saw tons of people asking her for him.
She emailed back saying he was available and I headed out the next day with Lilah to pick him up for a trial period.

As soon as the dog hopped out of my car and the boys saw him (they thought we were watching a friends dog for the weekend), I knew this was no trial period.

We all have fallen in love with Boomer. He is such a gentle, fluffy dog and goes everywhere with us. Including carpool :o) Fin loves opening up the door and seeing Boomer sitting in his booster seat.

Boomer loves the kids and follows them wherever they go.

He goes on every walk we go on.

But the person that's fallen the most in love is Ms. Lilah Jane. Ohhhhh she loves this puppy. And tortures him. But I kinda think their love is mutual.
