Saying Good-Bye | Southern California Labradoodle Goldendoodle Breeder

Things have been flying by at warp speed these past couple of weeks and have been going so fast that it's not much more than a blur in my clouded mind!  This has been quite possibly one of the busiest summers I've ever had.......so much so that I feel like I didn't have a summer and now school is starting up THIS week.  So unbelievably crazy!  With 3 little kiddlets of my own, 3 litters of puppies and their respectively families to care for, my parents moving here from out of state, mom getting in fairly serious car accident, sisters family visiting for 10 days, going on family vacation, husband buying a business, getting ready for kids to start school.......my mind is dizzy!

And in the midst of this craziness we call life, 2 of my sweet litters have grown so much it was time for them to go to their new homes. I'm always asked if I'm sad when they leave.....  I'll be honest that it's honestly very bittersweet.  I can't NOT be attached to these little loves, especially when I'm trying to give them all that I can while they are in my care.  But right around 7-8 weeks of age, they start needing a LOT more care, love, attention and training than I'm realistically able to do, so I'm thankful that they have wonderful, loving homes to go to to get that attention they need.  ANNDDDD.....most importantly, I must say that I adore my puppy families and am continuously amazed at the amazing people God brings my way.  They are so special and such wonderful families.  What a blessing you all are!

Anyhow, below are pictures of my sweet cuties going home with their new families.  Such a fun day for them (and a really sad day for my own kiddos!).

Let's start with Lilly's Litter of F1B Labradoodles:
Purple Girl is now Selah and was adopted by the coolest family ever!
How cute is Blue Boy right here?!
Orange Boy, aka the TANK, is with such a fun family! His name is now Gryffin
Awww....sweet, petite Pink Girl is now livin' in the Bay Area and goes by the name Zoey.  I kinda like that name.  :)
Sweet Yellow is now Sweet Gracie.  Hi Gracie!

And White Girl....oh White Girl.  She was gonna stay with me but I decided to sell her and really, really miss her. Such a cool dog!  But I know she'll be spoiled and she's gonna go by the name Sydney. Miss you girl!  :(

And here's Zoey's Litter of F1B Goldendoodles:
Blue Boy, now going by KC, is now apart of THE most loving home.  His family already has a Zoey puppy from a different litter so I'm thrilled for him to join his half-brother!
Ummmm.....dontcha just love this little muchkin?  Both of them, rather?  This cutie pie walked in my house and KNEW right away that Pink girl was the girl for her.  She's the best decision maker I've yet to have!  :) :)  And she named Pink girl after a dog from her favorite cartoon, which just happens to be a favorite show around here too....her name is now Martha.  :)
Um, cute couple, yes? :)  Orange Boy is named after her Grandpa, Murray.  =sigh= LOVE.
What a cute family photo! Purple Girl is now going by LuLu.  That makes 3 of Zoey's puppies with that same one and one of my VERY favorite names ever.  I just might need a LuLu of my own.
Oh goodness. This little guy.....red boy..... pretty much stole my heart 'cause I had him a few extra days while his new family was on vacation. And if his new family wasn't the sweetest family, I just might not have let him go.  His name is now Maverick and I'm adding that to my list of favorites too.  My list just grew by quite a lot!
And last, but most certainly not least is Green Boy.  Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of Green Boy with his new family because when they were here picking him out, my mom got in a car accident and I had to run off to help her. They were so gracious with me needing to run off too.  But I'm super duper excited because he went to live with another wonderful Goldendoodle breeder and is going to (hopefully) be a daddy for them one day!


I {heart} my Faithful Families!
