A Glimpse Into the Early Days with a Goldendoodle Puppy

We love getting updates and feedback from our goldendoodle families and what it’s like in the early days with a goldendoodle puppy. Christy and her family recently adopted a little female goldendoodle pup, who they have now called Lily. We highlighted Lily’s sweet gotcha story in a previous post. We have since gotten several more updates from Christy. I thought it would be helpful to some of our new goldendoodle families to hear another family’s experience and how they handled the early days with a goldendoodle puppy.

Each puppy is their own little personality and each one handles going to their new homes differently. For some they don’t bat an eye as they slip into their new routines and surroundings. For others, it might take a day or two to adjust. Once they do settle in and find their place, you’ll wonder what you ever did without them. 🙂

Congratulations, Christy and family! We’re so happy Lily has you to grow up with!

So, let’s jump right in. A big thank you to Christy for the detailed updates and the beautiful pictures, which she has graciously agreed to let us publish here for your benefit.

Going Home Week – Lily is 8 weeks, going on 9 weeks

Hi! Loved seeing your story about Lily’s homecoming on the Rainfield page.

Lily was whining a lot through the night last night. We thought maybe she was having a regression. But when we went to take the kids to school, there were helicopters hovering near our house. Apparently there was an apartment fire one neighborhood over since 3am! Since it was only 0.2 miles away, we think that Lily may have heard the commotion or even smelled the smoke!! She is already working hard at alerting us to danger overnight. 

She is such a smart girl! We have been working on sit, and she does it immediately and even when running up to my daughter. She is definitely feeling more at home and getting into everything, so we are working on setting some boundaries and teaching her how to control her energy and that puppy chewing. We took her on her first carpool pickup today (she sat in Dad’s seat, haha) and she did great! She did have some diarrhea today, but I just gave her the stuff (probiotics) you showed me and hopefully she will be better soon. Her vet said she looks great yesterday!

That’s it for now! Everyone loves her so much. I can really see the work you’ve put into her so far, and it has made a world of difference in us managing the work of a puppy and keeping up with her trainings.
