r/labradoodles

TJ and Skye has a wonderful play date with his golden friens- they are the cutest bunch ever ❤️

TJ used to be the smallest dog of the group and now he's the tallest!

🐶

Edit: He's 3/4 lab and 1/4 poodle just to curb the -hes not a labradoodle- comments.

I never had a dog do this before. Last year, around the time he turned 2, he suddenly decided that when it's time to get up in the morning, he HAS to have scratches, but aggressively. It was a bumpy road to start. MF would punch me in the face trying to get my attention. Id just had major jaw surgery so you can see the problem. That's mostly resolved... Most days lol. But still every morning he insists on putting his body on top of mine, literally pins me to the bed, rubbing his face against me, and refusing to let me do ANYTHING, that is not petting, scratching or loving him with both hands, no I'm not allowed to look at my phone during this time. He will punch it out of my hand. There are days where it's just easier for me to plop on top of him, or bear hug him because he's so needy.

It really is the best way to wake up, I literally can't ever wake up in a bad mood. His little groans and yawns, his adorable desperation for morning scratches its the best.

He's kind of cuddly through out the day, like he'll come sit with me on the couch, but nothing like when we wake up. Before he was 2, he hardly wanted cuddles.

Does anyone else's dog do this??

My puppy nearly drifted off while I scratched his head, during his most energetic evening hours.
