Ariel will be flying to Nova Scotia this coming Tuesday to be a breeding mama at Scotia Doodles. Rhonda contacted me about two weeks ago, asking about Ariel’s availability, and we worked out an agreement that will see Ariel joining her program as Rhonda’s second “micro-doodle” parti girl.
Since Ariel’s future hinged on whether Topaz passed her health screening (in other words, whether I would keep Ariel as a breeder myself or place her elsewhere), and I was just obtaining the last of Topaz’s results, the timing couldn’t have been better. Too, my goal had been, if possible, to have both Ariel and Topaz placed and gone by the end of September so I made it with just a bit of a delay.
During the month she’s been with us after coming back from her mama’s home where she’d been fostered since spring, Ariel has shown herself to be a loving, cuddly girl who is very active. She has been the smallest of the dogs in the house – even somewhat smaller than Topaz, despite being six months older, and a lot smaller than Phoenix – and not much into tussling likely because she’s the one who is most likely to end up on the bottom. She prefers to play chase as she is super-fast! She is used to sleeping in her crate at night and goes there readily during the day as well, but has recently – if we leave the crate door open at night – taken to jumping onto my bed and snuggling me for a good part of the night.
