[Big] heart, little Tar Heel

Mr. Big

Hello everyone! It's me here, ready to tell you about the fun I had meeting the newest little Tar Heel on campus, Mr. Big! This sweet 11-week-old golden doodle puppy got his name from Carrie Bradshaw's beau on Sex & the City, as you may have guessed. His mom, Olivia (livfashionably), loves the show and knows he'll grow into his name before long!

Mr. Big is an "F1B" golden doodle, meaning his parents were a standard poodle and a golden doodle. I'm still catching on to all of this breeder lingo, so this is the only info I've got for you on that. Anyway, this little Mr. Big is a realllll beauty. His curly red coat and white "tuxedo" chest make for the perfect golden doodle puppy. Everyone around us on campus was just "awwing" away at him yesterday after our interview. His parents look at him in much that same way, with nothing but admiration and love for their newest little companion.

To pick up Big from his K9 family, this lucky little pup's mom took a road trip all the way to Dunville, Kentucky, to the home of Blessed Hope Kennels. So far, he is really liking North Carolina and especially Chapel Hill. What's not to love, right? Big's brother, Mr. Banks, also got to come along, and is settling in quite well in eastern NC.

As time goes on and graduation comes, Mr. Big and his mom hope to go to NYC to join @samsonthedood, @hudsonthegoldendoodle, and @neptunethedoodle in the Big Apple. Like these seasoned doods, he's already enjoying his monthly BarkBox full of treats and toys. Wish I got something like that every month haha. When he gets older, Big hopes to achieve the Emotional Sport Animal Certification so that he can help humans who need him, as well as fly on airplanes in the cabin and be given fair treatment when looking for a new apartment in the City. Go Big! This talkative, squirmy, sweet, and cuddly little puppy is already full of personality at 11 weeks old, and I know he has a bright future ahead of him. He already responds to commands like "sit", "handshake", "wait" and "come". What more could you ask for after 4 weeks of training at home? Truly impressive.

It was great to meet you little Big and I hope to see you again as you grow into the long-legged intelligent dood you're bound to be! To all of you readers, thank you for all of your support and for reading today.

Until next time,
Lily
