He's Home! Welcome to the Family, Flip Turner!

We picked our Goldendoodle, Flip Turner (or FTC as we like to call him), up on Monday from Kareaway Kennels in Xenia.  He is now 8 weeks old and ready to be with his human family.  We were all a little anxious for his arrival, just not knowing really what to expect over the next days and weeks to come.  New house and a new dog?  Just seems crazy.

The first 4 days have been so great.  He sleeps through the night from 11 pm to 6:30 am when we have to get up to take Max to swimming (and Chris gets ready for work).  He is learning how to ring a bell hung on our back door so we know when he wants/needs to go out.  He eats three times a day.  He LOVES chew toys; the more the better!  He checked out completely healthy at the vet and at 8 weeks weighs just under 8lb.  We are exhausted from constantly taking him outside to "go potty" but we love having him home.

It will be fun to watch him grow!  Here are a few pics I took tonight with the help of Max and his friend Bret.  :)
