Who knew Kenny Chesney and I have so much in common.  He recently celebrated the birthday of the love of his life.  Like me, Kenny acquired his love because a friend couldn't keep  him in his home.  But Kenny was more than happy to adopt his goldendoodle  Poncho, and now happily celebrating his 9th birthday.

Kenny adopted Poncho in 2012 after someone gave the dog to him.  This is sort of how I got my goldendoodle Winnie who is the absolute love of our lives.  Winnie was supposed to be Tanner's dog but at the last minute it wasn't a good time for his family to have a puppy.  His wife Missy showed me a picture of Winnie and I fell in love with her at first sight.

Goldendoodles are the love child of a poodle and a golden retriever  and there are many goldendoodle rescues in the area and here is one.
