Hello and welcome to my journey. This blog is meant to share my wife and I's trials and tribulations of adopting a cockapoo or spoodle puppy. For those that don't know a cockapoo is is a hybrid dog or designer dog that is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a poodle.

Puppy is home!

Well we went and got our new puppy today.  So far so good.   She slept most of the way home and has been pretty good since we got home.   She is still a little unsure, but she is adjusting fast.   

She is a little snugler.   She seems to want nothing more then to snuggle up to someone.  Pictures coming soon...

Preperation and planning

We bring home our new puppy this Saturday. During this process, I have been reading tons of books and trying to prepare for my first dog as an adult. I am not sure if I am more or less prepared for all the reading, but I sure have a bunch of stuff that is new to me to try. The biggest new thing, is trying to use a clicker for clicker training.
