What my dogs Ludwig's Ebony and Ivy mean to me....love Tina

July 26th 2004 was a very important day in my life. This was the day my very best friend was born. Her name is Ivy.  Let me tell you a little about Ivy. She is the first to greet me when I come home, she's here for me whenever I need her and she listens to all of my problems, she comforts me when I'm upset, keeps me warm at night and only talks back when she gets excited.

As for her physical appearance she's blond with milk chocolate brown eyes, and stands about 22" tall, oh and did I mention that she has four legs, long curly ears and a cute curly tail. Yup, Ivy is my loyal dog.

On February 16th 2005, her younger sister, Ebony, was born. As soon as my mom brought Ebby home the 2 became inseparable. They play together, eat together, pee together and sleep together. Ivy has had 2 litters of 10 puppies in the past 2 years and Ebony will have her turn in the new year. Our girls are extremely different from each other.  Ivy is very sporty and independent while Ebony is lazy and dependent on everyone. However both girls are energetic, smart and witty.

A day without my girls would not be a day worth living. There would be no one for me to wake up to no one to look at me with so much love in their eyes I don't know what to do with, no one to feed that can't feed themselves, no one to look forward to going home and seeing, no one to share the last bites of my dinner with and no one to keep my feet and back warm at night. If I didn't have my girls I would have know one to tell my deepest darkest secrets to and know one to cry on when I feel all alone.

If I didn't have my girls I would never have had the chance to witness puppies from day they are born to the day they go to their new families and then watch them grow. The day I don't have Ivy and Ebony to wake up to is one I don't think about.  Actually I haven't thought about it until now, which would explain why it took me over 15 minutes to write this last paragraph. 

Life without my doodle's is unimaginable.  I'm sure all other doodle owners feel the same way about their forever friend and can level with me 100% that adopting their doodle was one of the best decisions they have ever made. Having a doodle or any dog is having a best friend, new family member, and a new part of your heart.

Every day when I look into my Ivy's eyes I fall in love all over again. I know that I will always have a friend and that someone will always love me.
