Old dogs and new puppys!

(Bennet)

OK so in the summer of 2009 my dog of 9 years died. Willoughby was a black standard poodle. he had black eyes and a kiddish look about him. Even Thu the family and I were sad that he was gone,we were also glad that he didn't have to suffer anymore. Willoughby had a surgery done to staple his stomach to the top of his rib-cage, because he had swallowed socks and tea towels that made his intestine twist. at the end of his life he was in some pain, so now we are all glad that he is with Heavenly Father and is healthy. love you Willouby!!!

Now its the summer of 2010 and i was feeling a little lost because I've all ways had a dog in the house and it was kinda weird. i noticed that when we had a dog the whole family would go out on walks with him and when we didn't then we were more separate and we didn't do much together (it seems weird, and even if you dint really notice the dog that's how it seems)so I asked my mom and dad if i could get a dog, at first mom was a little sad because Willoughby was her dog and she raised him and trained him. but after i got a lot of dog training books out of the library and showed her that i would be a good trainer, then she said yes and we started to look up puppy breeders on the island. one day we went onto used Victoria and we found a slandered poodle puppy breeder up the island. I was so exited and we called them right away.
we then had a appointment to go and see the puppy's. when we got there the mom and the dad dog came out to great us,they were beautiful dogs that were Really tall!
then we saw the puppy's.
they were so cute and the personality's were different. the shy puppy's would go and see my sister Olivia (12)and just sniff her. the overly energetic ones would all tackle my little brother Angus (9) and try to eat his hair. but the ones that caught my attention were two puppy's that were just sort of watching my mom and me and checking us out first. one was a little red female who was the pick of the litter and the other was a little cream male. i really wanted a male dog and so i picked the cream!!!!
we picked him up in a week and i named him Bennet after Mr.Bennet in pride and prejudice. he is the cutest puppy ever and has green eyes. he crys a little at night but is just a baby so no one minds. that's his picture(at the top)when he was just a couple of weeks old!!!
cant wait until hes old enough to train!!!!!!!
love Morgan
