Sebastian the Goldendoodle… Angel.

Today is the anniversary of Sebastian’s crossing of the Rainbow bridge. A lot has happened this year – but that can wait for another day and another post.

Today is Sebastian’s day – I came across this picture the other day and I can so picture him getting this same treatment.

Keep being a good puppy and we’ll play fetch with your red ball when we see each other again! Love you Sebastian!!!

Six months an Angel

Hey everyone, Mojo here. Today is six month since Sebastian got his angel wings. I still miss him greatly. Here is a picture of us prior to him getting sick. He was such a fun person to be around.

And Sebastian sure loved his big red squeaky ball. This is one of my favorite pictures of him. He was such a good brother.

Meanwhile Chewy is growing like crazy. He’s a really smart puppy – I just wish the three of us could have got to spend some time together. Look at his Sebastian-looking grin… Sebastian and Chewy would have been peas in a pod.

I don’t have a whole lot to say, but I didn’t want to let today go by without letting everyone know that I still miss my big brother. Love you Sebastian!

Chewbacca update

Hi everyone, Mojo here!

I know it’s been awhile since I posted last, but I think about all of you everyday – especially Sebastian. I still miss all the funny things he would do, his incredible smile and his personality. He’ll always be my bestest friend…

But this little guy he sent to take his place is starting to settle in with us. Chewbacca’s been here for almost two months and while he still has some habits I’m trying to break him of, he’s coming around personality wise! He’s definitely got some that character that Sebastian had in spades. And my dad says he sure likes to lick a lot like Sebastian did too.

Here’s a couple update videos we made of the little guy. This first one is where he thinks he is going to catch me… not today!!! I might not be as fast as Sebastian was, but I’m still faster than those little Chewy legs!!

Anyway, just know that my dad and I still visit this site from time to time. He says he doesn’t have much advice to give, but he knows Sebastian would still want us to stay in touch with everyone – Sebastian was definitely a big fan of everyone here and would want us to continue to support all the other tripawds in their journeys. Sebastian never met anyone or any dog he didn’t get along with… even squirrels, though I’m sure they probably didn’t think so, lol.

Until next time, here’s Chewy’s first full length video. If you look closely, you’ll see some similarities between him and Sebastian.

Imprinted

Hi everyone!

As you know, Chewbacca (Chewy) came to stay with us not too long ago, and there are a lot of things that he does that reminds me of Sebastian. For example, here is Sebastian running the fence.  Even as a tripawd he was there to help me guard the yard.

Then here’s Chewy today…

I didn’t tell him what to do – yet somehow he knew.

I think we all know how he knew… Sebastian!

He was pretty happy with himself afterwards, just like Sebastian would have been.

I have to admit, I didn’t know how I’d feel about someone new coming in, but if Sebastian sent him, he must be alright.

Let’s see what else Sebastian imprinted on this new guy.

Sebastian did it again! 

Hi everyone!

As some of you know, my pawrents began looking for a new friend for me. They told me they were exploring a couple options. They found someone who has goldendoodle puppies, but they usually have 4-12 month waiting lists. My dad started the process with a hope we could find someone for the summer months.

He looked through the current litter listing to get an idea of what he thought would be a good addition. He saw a couple male puppies that seemed to be amazing! Only problem was that the litter was already completely spoken for.  And there was also a waiting list. For whatever reason, he still felt compelled to send a shot in the dark email and ask if he could be put on the waiting list… just in case something crazy happened.

And then something crazy happened.

The next day my dad got an email and was told someone dropped off the previous night and the people on the waiting list in front of him had decided to wait until a future litter. He was told there was a chance that even though we would have the last pick, that a boy would be available based on initial preferences of the other pawrents.  My dad wanted a boy because he says I’m still his princess puppy girl doggie.

So when my pawrents went today during their pick time, there was just one puppy left. When they walked in, it took the puppy exactly one second to race over and start licking them in their faces as if he had just been reunited with a long lost family member. It was almost as if that puppy had been prepped on who was coming.

And even though they had the last pick, they were were able to get their boy. We think his name is going to be Chewbacca – “Chewy” for short.  And his name matches his personality so far. Uh-oh!

But looking back – there were so many things that had to work out perfectly for us to find Chewy. Too many things for it to be considered just luck.  This had someone’s fingerprints all over it…

Correction.

This had someone’s pawprints all over it.

Sebastian did it again!
