After we put our Rottweiller to sleep in January of 2009, we decided to get a new puppy to keep us and Blitz, our remaining dog, company.  Since I spend much of my time at home since my retirement, I noticed that my dog allergies bothered me more and more each year.  So we decided to get a Labradoodle.  The new puppy, Blaze, will be one year old in February. He has calmed down and has grown into a very affectionate dog.  He still demands a lot of attention, and my wife, Sharee; my German Shepherd, Blitz; and I spend a lot of our time with him.  Pictures of Blaze and Blitz are shown below.
