Marleigh Jane is an 8 month old goldendoodle (mother pure bred) mixed with what I believe to be a German Shepherd. She is the prettiest girl and I think she's 80 pounds too! So sweet, gentle, super smart and definitely inherited the cuddly fur gene from her mother. She barely sheds and is SO soft to touch. She will give you your space, but likes to be in whichever room her family is in. Sometimes, she likes to get on the couch by my feet, but usually opts to lie on the cool floor under where I am on the couch. She's not a very vocal girl, so when she is barking or making noise, it's for good reason! She knows how to ring bells on a rope to signal needing to go out, but is pretty good about coming to me and whining to get my attention if I'm too far from the bells. She has not had an accident in two months. She will shred even the toughest pee pads, but doesn't need them to begin with. She loves to play with other dogs, but gets a little overwhelmed at dog parks so far. She is all personality at home, but becomes a shrinking violet at dog parks. She loves everyone she meets and WATER! I haven't taken her to the beach, but this girl will go sit outside during a storm and watch the sky if I let her. She is known to lay down in the shower once I get out.

I've been feeding them the Purina One Plus Large Breed Puppy and Adult formula. They get an "Oinker" to chew on each day. (Frankie may or may not take it from you because really all he wants to do is go stare at her and make her think he's going to steal it). I also put CBD oil in their shared water bowl. Frankie is a very anxious dog that is exhibited by frequent nail biting, random whining and licking when he's nervous. It seems to help him a lot with that. Marleigh benefits from it because she will tire Frankie out trying to get him to play with her all day without it.

Frankie hates to ride in the car, but doesn't usually give me much problem getting him to get in our out of the car without force. He will not try to come into the front cab or put his face out of a window. He sits still as a statue shaking like a leaf until we reach our destination. Marleigh won't get in the car without physical assistance. Once she's in, she's good. Just be sure she has had a good pee before getting in the car. They are both accustomed to wearing seatbelts attched to their harnesses. Marleigh won't make a peep at people, but Frankie will bark hellos when the car is parked or in a drive through.

The only human food that I allow them is squash, watermelon rind, carrots, sweet potatoe.

They do not like smoking and will silently judge you from the window.
