Our New Family DOG

[@kathyyoung5038]

I had tears in my eyes for Emma finally getting her heart's desire. I remember the many times you showed her playacting at being a puppy and asking to get one. Finn will be well loved.

[@JulieDeru]

It’s really a dream come true for her.

[@brandybarnett9953]

I think this particular dog was brought into your life flor a reason. Mine all were. His disposition with the kids is awesome. One plus for poodles and Poodle hybrids is that they shed less. Enjoy this new season.

[@MackRyals-z3s]

Oh Emma! I know she’s been asking for YEARS & YEARS for a dog!! I could not be anymore thrilled for sweet Emma! I have a Golden Doodle I’ve had for a little over one year & best decision I e ever made! A lot of work yes, but the reward is over the top!! So happy for Emma… she’s been SO patient!!

[@nancysparks6181]

Emma brought tears to my eyes. Happy Anniversary!!

[@DaleenBarnard]

It seems like London is just as happy as the kid's with the new addition to the family

[@JulieDeru]

He sure is!

[@KalynJewel]

I'm so happy for Emma (and all the kids) but I'm also so happy for Landon! As a parent it's so amazing to get to give your kids experiences that you didn't get to have as a child. Seeing him tear up was so sweet. Congratulations to all of you!!

[@nancyosgood777]

He is adorable! He seems so calm. You will not regret this!

[@darlenesmith7680]

Finn is ADORABLE! And you'll never regret giving your sweet kids a life long best friend! Happy 16! Merry Christmas! 🙏❤️🙏

[@amy11228]

I cried like a baby through this whole video!! I just lost my best boy of 16 years (a mini schnauzer, Charlie). He was our first and only dog we got when our kids were young. I didn't really want a dog, but my husband really wanted the experience for our kids. Charlie stole my heart and we were inseparable until the end. Finn is precious and will become one of the best decisions you've ever made for your family. Praying he blesses your lives in the many ways my dog blessed me and my family! Merry Christmas Deru Crew!

[@debrawronker4932]

Wishing the your beautiful family a blessed and merry Christmas. We have five dogs and we have lost a couple , raising a dog, teaches your kids about life and death. ❤❤

[@karenslater9051]

Adorable Finn just joined a sweet, loving. family where he will have a forever home. Thank you for giving this precious dog a home where he will be loved and cherished. I love in Minnesota and on our local news a large tote was found alongside the highway and a couple stopped to check it out and there were 5 puppies in there. There were air holes thank goodness ess. They are now at Animal Allies being cared for until forever homes can be found. My husband and I have had several chihuahuas over our 54 year marriage and loved everyone. All rescues. Now our last one passed in May and we feel we should not attempt another as we are in our 70’s. Your story made me so happy for this dog. Blessings to you all.

[@robynknight9041]

Golden doodles are awesome dogs. I’m so happy for you guys, especially the kids. My dad never let us have a dog growing up. Enjoy. He has the best home. Filled with so much love!

[@dukeblockington1179]

So happy. Our dog is the best. At first, we didn't want a puppy, but we ended up getting a 5 month old puppy, and it was the best decision ever.

[@michelleboullion2823]

This brought a joyful tear to my eyes. You guys, thank you for sharing the whole family's joy with us. Happy Anniversary, congratulations on 16 years!!!

[@spoostad]

Happy anniversary!! Gotta say Landon looks very handsome with facial hair!!

[@rachaelc2007]

What a transformation after the bath and brush! He’s gorgeous and will bring years of joy to your family!

[@cindyparker4714]

I'm crying too!! That's the best Christmas and anniversary gift ever!! We had a poodle growing up. Her name was Gidget. Best dog ever!! She lived to the ripe old age of 16. Me and my 3 sisters loved her so much. She was apricot in color. Just like Finn. They are smart too!! Merry Christmas to all ❤

[@JulieDeru]

I hope our Finn stays around as long as your Gidget :)

[@huck9750]

I knew what the intention of her post was saying. She was being very kind and didn’t mean for it to be taken out of context.

[@lilysgram5886]

So great to see your kids again, they’re getting so big. Congrats on your wonderful new Puppy. 🐾💞 Wishing you both a very Happy Anniversary!!

[@andrealongobardi2757]

Finn is absolutely adorable 💙

[@jessicafromtexas2868]

He is the sweetest little pup and is so good with his bath. He was truly given to the best home.

[@hersheyybar]

Happiest anniversary! I'm so happy you finally decided on a dog. You will see how fast Fin becomes a member of the family. Congratulations!

[@sherronclavier1705]

When Julie and the kids were talking about names I was sitting here saying Finn over an over. I have a small female Maltese/Yorkie mix named Finley and have always loved the name Finn for a boy. Good luck. Puppies are a lot of work and patience. They chew a lot because they are cutting their adult teeth. Enjoy him. My dog brings so much joy and love into my world.

[@JulieDeru]

Finn is such a cute name! We are really enjoying our new pup.

[@yaffalaffabuskula]

Congrats! I can remember your vids when Emma would play doggie. She looks so happy!

[@mamawfrancy]

Landon & Julie, Happy 16th Anniversary & especially lucky number thirteen for the kids. Feeling the joy for all your family especially Emma's looong wait & over the moon reaction. Landon crying & his puppy book was too sweet. Finn 'measures up' to your already beautiful family.. soo happy for all of you.

[@JulieDeru]

We are so thankful for all the love and support!

[@Chell1496]

Oh my gosh! The kids’ joy and happiness when they found out! 🥹 So sweet! 🥲

[@HeidiBoffitto]

I'm crying too! Your kids are so well behaved.. I know you don't show everything but seriously they are so sweet and they have wanted a dog for so so long!

[@brittanyengebretson7828]

I cried during the whole video. We recently said goodbye to our doodle and he was the most perfect boy in every way. Fin is adorable and so loved already. Congratulations on entering pet ownership ❤

[@kevinjuliamartin6718]

Now I'm crying! What an exciting day! Very good idea to train him to go in his crate at mealtime...our dog learned to go in her crate without being told as we were sitting down to a meal.

[@meganyounger4842]

I had 2 white standards for years! They are SO smart and SO loving. I bathed them myself and got hair cuts at Petsmart. Now I have a girl and she's also super good. I take her to be groomed out in Olathe off Blackbob these days. Poodles always need ears cleaned is my tip. If you need a vet, I went to Santa Fe Pet Clinic off 135 and MurLen. I honestly can't recommend them enough, they have an amazing staff.

[@JulieDeru]

That’s so good to know. Thanks for the recommendation!!

[@alim5038]

Their reaction was the best! They were so appreciative and thankful...that part just melted my heart. Welcome to the Duru Fam, Fin! Oh and Happy Anniversary

[@cathygarvin]

LOVE that you added Finn to the measurement board! How adorable! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary

[@Bostar17]

My brother got this similar dog (same coloring too) about a year ago. We love ours. Two tips. Get him trained asap because they really love to chew especially as puppys. You might already know this by the toys that I saw you already have. 😉. And keep his hair short unless you don’t mind brushing it daily. But they are so loving. I could not be happier for you guys. Dogs are the best ❤🐶❤️. Happy Anniversary!!!

[@NikkiScatch84]

She’s such a cute dog! So glad you guys finally got one.

[@ericaaubie860]

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A NEW PUPPY. GETTING A NEW PUPPY IS A LOT OF WORK, AND LOTS OF FUN.

[@janetdamboise6225]

Happy Anniversary to you both! What a great video up date! I'm so happy for you all! I can just see Finn waiting for the kids to come home from school. Never a dull moment in the Drew house now! LOL Love you all bunches and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

[@minimouse397]

Congratulations on your Anniversary and on getting a dog. You have made your kids very happy especially Emma ! What an awesome addition to your sweet family. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2025 to you and your whole family ! 💕

So special. I have a schnauzer and poodle mix dog. It is a schnoodle breed. I love my dog. I was around Emma age when my family cave in to own our first dog. Now she is going be 11 this coming year.

[@edwinabeat]

He's beautiful. Enjoy puppyhood. I am so happy for you guys!

[@jenhowell7908]

Congratulations!!! Welcome to the family Finn!!! So adorable

[@emilyshiers4187]

So happy for you guys! Dogs are such special family members 🤍

[@amypletcher4411]

Aww, ❤ Congratulations!!!! We have 2 goldendoodles. One female 2yrs old black n white parti, and rescued a black with a little bit of white male, 1 1/2 yr old. The two are complete best friends. They are fixed. Female we got her at 8 month old. Named her Annie and the male was already named Louie so we kept it. Make sure you teach him not to chew on things that don't belong. They like naps and a routine food schedule. My male still takes naps in his crate from 10am and goes to bed at 8pm. Eats at 8isham and 4ishpm. They know it too 😂!! Treats throughout the day.

[@JulieDeru]

I love that routine.

[@ivysweets]

Aww Dogs are the ABSOLUTE BEST! Especially, doodles! We just got a Golden Doodle about a month ago and we are in love!

[@duckyone20]

You stop it right now! Emma, I literally cried for you. All the years you asked and pretended to be a puppy, I'm so happy for you! 💜💜 Happy anniversary Julie and Landon

[@TeresaDeru]

Yay!! Joining the dog owners club. Your kids are so excited and will love the gift. I cried watching the kids.

[@courtascot]

Be sure to get him on flea and tick med once a month.theres a company in Canada you can get it cheaper than at the vet and you don’t need a script

[@cfaith59]

Such a nice dog! Congratulations and happy anniversary 🎉🥳

[@DreamDone-ih4re]

Awesome! Seeing Landon with him would make me fall in love all over again. Make sure to start training now, and teach loose leash walking. Touch his ears paws teeth face everywhere so he gets used to it. Start brushing now and almost everyday to get used to it and make it a habit or he will get matted. Get him groomed young like now so he’s used to the grooomer. You will need a metal slick comb and the brush you were already using wait until the fur is completely dried before brushing or ouch. I love my doodle but their coats and high energy can be higher maintenance

[@kathikamholz2100]

Missed you guys. Happy Anniversary. Finn is very handsome and I love his story

[@lisahause8705]

Oh wow! Lots of responsibility for the children now….85% maintenance & 15% fun time entertainment…so worth it! Each child will benefit! Keep well & Merry Christmas! Cheers & Smiles…🥳

[@JulieDeru]

We’re so sorry to hear about your poodle. Thank you for the love.

[@allheartandsong]

I have a tou poodle and her coat is a lot of up keep but totally worth it. She has the best disposition of any dog I've ever had. Poodle mixes are a win. I highly suggest brushing him every other day at least and getting him groomed once a month as this breeds hair grows very fast and gets mattes easily. Also very sensitive to wheat these dogs are. Nulo dog food is a very very good dog food in case you have issues❤

[@melissacanaday7403]

Finn is so lucky to have your family. Emma is so tall now ❤️

[@4UStevePerry]

Congratulations! Poodles are great dogs! I'm so jealous I want another one. My first dog was a white mini poo. They are very smart. They don't shed but need lots of grooming. Finn is a great name. Learn to Clip him and you will save lots of money. Take him to a pro the first few times to make sure he gets used to it. To clip a standard poo is 200+ and they should be done at least every 2-3 months. Brush him regularly. My favorite breed! 🐩 🇫🇮 Happy Anniversary! I have a relative that's has a doodle named Finn.

[@JulieDeru]

Thanks for the advice! We love poodles.

[@cherylf.4616]

Happy anniversary! Finn will be a nice edition to the Deru family! He’s so adorable 🥰 and cute! 🥰 Have fun with Finn kids!

[@JulieDeru]

We are so excited to have him!

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m so happy for your family. Dogs are amazing animals and are such wonderful companions. I couldn’t live without my dog, she’s my best friend. Put the time and energy into training him well from the beginning and he will soon be very easy to take care of. My girl has been my constant companion for the past 14 years and now we are both so old I don’t know who will go first. I hope it’s me because she will be fine with my husband but I won’t be fine without her. Finn is adorable enjoy him very much.
