Preview a book I made

Heritage Makers has added a new preview feature and I'm trying it out on my blog. This is a digital storybook that I made for a client of mine. It was simple to create and her grandson really loved looking at this book all about him!! Take a look...

Kysa's Here!!


After months of research and finding out about Goldendoodles form our friends Noel and Jon Kern we finally got our new baby and trust me everyone is very quick to tell us that is that we are in for alot of work. Well, we did not not walk into this lightly and we also have been met with many challenges that we did not know that we were going to have and many rewards of the same.

Kysa came a day late but we were all able to go and greet her at Delta Air Cargo. We got Kysa from Teri Fann and Goldens-n-doodles.com and she is the best and sweetest breeder out there. She had warned us that the puppy would be a little dirty. Well, she was a little dirty. We took her to a nearby park (away from as many other dogs to keep her away from possible unvaccinated dogs [Teri trained us well] as possible) to clean her up. After cleaning her we let her run for a bit and tried to give her some food and water but she would have none of it, I think she was too excited to be out of the crate and be with people. Unfortunately we had to put her back in the half cleaned crate for the ride back home.

We got home and let Kysa get the lay of the land. It was not long before we realized that we needed to be on top of the house breaking right away. She had has had a few accidents but she is getting better every day. Tonight she even rang the bell for the first time, although she is a little off on the timing, I'll just leave it at that.
Kysa has had many visitors; Bill and Janet came over the first night as well as our neighbors the Lindemanns who have been anxiously awaiting her arrival as much as anybody. Saturday Great Grandma Margaret came over then my sister, her family, Mary Jo and Ted came over to celebrate Mother's Day. My mom decided that she could puppy sit anytime, especially before she doubles in size in the next two months. We will welcome many more visitors I am sure in the coming weeks.

Kysa is a beautiful golden girl which is just fine with me because I have always loved goldens. If you asked me right now she could be a golden pup. But she is not, she will grow to have the adorable Goldendoodle look with the indistinguishable beard and unmistakeable eyes.

The girls have been a little apprehensive about Kysa as of yet. Ana, who would jump off of a two story building if you gave her the chance is even a little scared. It seems that there is a disconnect between being a little girl and being a puppy. The girls want to give hugs and kisses and the puppy wants to nip at little girls. We'll work on that, look for more in future blogs.

She is a very sweet puppy and we love her very much. She has had some accidents and she will have some more but we will help her to become a very kind and loving dog. We encourage any advise you have we have gotten alot already read alot and want to do what we can to all raise a great dog together. (Oh and we'll put in some pictures of Emily and Jenny too)
