I’m going on a daycare visit! Hi… I’m a [Golden Doodle Mini](/breed/goldendoodle/) and I’m going to tell you all about my adventure to a place called daycare (for human kids). At first, I didn’t know what to think when my Pet Counselor told me about the place I would be going. She said there would be a bunch of children to snuggle, cuddle and play with! I was very happy and ready… as you can see with my lightning-fast tail waggin’ in my picture! Being a Petland puppy, I knew I had a job to do… and that’s to love and to be loved by all I meet!
