This dog.
Firstly, he was the absolute best addition to the family a few years ago. Lil man was terrified of dogs (based on a negative experience when he was a toddler) – so we knew the only answer: Get one. It was a good decision. We find it crazy that all the doodle-owners we know / have read about / etc. all say the same thing – that this breed is smart, loyal, loving…and ALL of them seem to get what we call “The Zoomies” around 7pm.
He’ll (out of nowhere) jump off the couch, grab his favorite squeaker & go rip-tearing up the steps, down the steps, do a few laps around the coffee table and parkour himself with a sideways jump off the couch…and start over. It’s hilarious!
And then, when he gets that out of his system, he’ll chill. Like this. Staring. Judging. He is (as they say) “A good boy!”
