[Dales1stWife]

Hi! I've been lurking for a week or so and couldn't resist answering some questions SO I thought I should maybe introduce myself and delurk fully!

My Name is Beth and (as you might have guessed) my husband is Dale. We have 4 children ages 4 -10 and we adopted a 6mo old standard F1b labradoodle last month from Jac at Back Porch Labradoodles here in CA.

We are having a great time with Gromit and are thinking that it might not be a bad idea to get another Dood sooner rather than later! Here are some pictures of Gromit in the first week that we had him home.

[Dales1stWife]

Thank You for all the welcomes!

Vicky - definitely related, Gromit's parents are Lexie and Chase also.

Greg - running family joke, along the same lines as, "Well, my first wife always said..." Of course then we have some friends who divorced and then married each other again so they can really play with people's minds!

Our story is much better than that--but I digress

Gromit is very handsome and you cane be sure he's from good lineage if he's from the 'Gabby Jack Ranch Pack'! (Couldn't resist Jac!) Where in California are you? Are you coming to our Davis romp on the 5th of April?? We'd love to meet you and Gromit! I've been trying to talk Jac into bringing the first-time daddy!

HI and Welcome!!Gromit , love the name and he's such a cute doodle!

 

[Lucky Me]

Welcome!!!
Hope you can make it to the romp!!!
My husband always introduces himself as my "current husband" :wink:
He also talked me into signing my paintings with only my first and middle name. (PS- Although he isn't my first, we are going on 17 yrs. of marriage :lol: )

We are actually in Southern California so we probably won't drive the 6 hours to Davis for the Romp there. :roll:

I am aiming for the Romp in Huntington Beach but we will see how that goes since Dale will be returning from a business trip that weekend. Hmmm... maybe I can have him go from the airport and meet us at the Romp :lol:

 

[my Boo]

Welcome! :lol:
Is Gromit named after the "Wallace and Gromit" series? (I love those shows! So cute!)
Oh and since you're in So Cal- I've heard that there's also been a doodle romp in Malibu in past years...saw it somewhere online.

Six hours is nothin'!! Gromit will love our doods!!! :wink: Oh, and Dale can change his flight plans to land in Sacramento!! SEE!!! It always works out if you want it to!! :wink: :lol:

Hi Beth!
Look at Gromit!! Oh, my goodness! I am slow...I was browsing your post (I always look at the avatar and any pictures before reading) and I was thinking, "Gosh, that pup looks exactly like my Amelia Jane!" and when I read that Gromit was ours I was so excited!
Thanks for joining this forum...you have now met Vicky and Copper, but check out the posts from Sharon (Rosie, from Gromits's litter) and Terry (Abby from Lexie's litter before Gromit's) because you will have two more of Gromit's siblings to get to know!
Southern CA is the home of many of our pups, gosh, our family alone could make for a great doodle romp...but it would be fun to have you up here to meet some of the northern CA doods...maybe next time, they have them often!
Thanks for posting!
