Happy Autumn sweet friends from me and my new Fall colored boy 🐶
If you follow me on IG @spoonfulsofcozy, this is old-ish news as I got my sweet boy about a month ago! But his name is Auggie and he is the love of my life. He is an Australian Goldendoodle and going to be about 30-35 pounds full grown 🙂
A little back story, I have wanted my own dog for fooooooreeeevvvver. I have had family dogs my whole life and couldn’t wait for the day I could have my own. I initially thought I would get a dog with my now ex but atlas that clearly didn’t happen… so fast forward to this year. I no longer could work full time in an office setting because of my health and I spend a lot of time alone and inside due to it. So I knew in my heart I wanted to get an ESD to help ease the hardship of having a severe chronic illness. So I started researching different breeds that would be a good fit for me living on my own in a 1 bedroom apartment.
I have always LOVED golden retrievers/ big dogs but knew I couldn’t have a dog that size that also shed that much in my small space. So I landed on Australian doodle mixes. I knew with more research this was the type of dog for me. So I started planning. Originally, I was put on a list to receive my puppy in late November but my breeder gave me a call in late August and said I have the dog for you. She understood my wishes and health and matched me with my wonderful Auggie. He is truly the best little boy I could’ve ever dreamed of having. Makes me teary honestly because I just feel so profoundly grateful to have this sweet soul in my life.
Now that I am a month in I have learned A LOT! I would be happy to share some tips and things that have worked and not if any of you are interested but for now, I will leave this little introduction here.
Sending fall coziness to you all,
