Mango the Spoodle

Wow, I just realised that I actually haven't blogged about my dog Mango. Disappointing really... 

I REALLY like dogs, and always have. In fact, I used to wake up at 6am and search through dog-selling websites for breeders with new litters. I'd look at websites from pounds, like Doggie Rescue and the RSPCA, and then I found a new litter of Spoodles. 


We wanted a girl, so I emailed the breeder, and she replied that there were definitely some girls available. And so the emailing began, and the  breeder sent some photos, and I'd show the photos to my family, and then it got to the point where I'd pretty much bought 'Girl No. 2'. She was in Melbourne, so on the 26th of June, 2 months after she'd been born, I came home from tennis and TA DAA! There was a little bubby dog sniffing all over the carpet. We'd set up toys and blankets and a cardboard box for her, and the little baby puppy just slept. Mango went to puppy school where she could be very naughty, but usually by the end of the lesson she'd be so tired we had to carry her out to the car before she slept on the floor. Spoodles are great dogs because they don't shed fur. Although that might seem like a small issue, it really does help. There's hardly any fur on clothes or furniture, and it saves a lot of work with the cleaning. Mango is obsessed with food, like any dog, so as soon as she hears the fridge door opening, it's like she's been called by some strict army trainer, and she MUST go. 

Hard to believe, but in April this year Mango is turning 3. Oh, my little baby's growing up! She's the most beautiful, loving, protective, adorable, hilarious, happy, caring, affectionate, amazing dog. :P You'll hear that from every dog owner.
But it's all true.
