I live in Redmond, WA. Two days ago, I purchased a Goldendoodle from Star View. This is the sweetest puppy I have ever seen. His name surely fits as he is my "Buddy". I was diagnosed with MS in 2002 and would like to find out how I go about the training and getting him classified. (I have a problem with my right side). Interesting, that when I have a muscle spasm, Buddy will come over and lay down next to the muscle and kisses (in the legs). He is 9 weeks at this point and I would like to start training asap while I am still able. Please email me if you could. I talked to Mary Lou and she gave me the link to this page. God bless and cyber hugs to you and your fuzzy pal! Mel xo Hi, my name is Melanie Golovin. I live in Redmond, WA. Two days ago, I purchased a Goldendoodle from Star View.

I'll have to bookmark it to read more later. In the meantime just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 2 doodle owner in Eastern WA state and I've started a social network/photo gallery for doodle owners: www.DoodleKisses.com -- you should stop by. You are welcome to link to your blog from there or any other business. Have a great day and I look forward to coming back and reading more! I’m so glad I ran across your blog.
