Hi All Ya’ll! Did that officially make me Southern?
My name is Jenn Bowman, and I was born and raised in a small town outside Rochester, NY. Growing up, I had 3 siblings and Abby a cocker spaniel who although was my sister’s dog, was really my dog. Abby loved me through some hard times in my high school years; Abby is the reason that as an adult I love the companionship for myself and my kids that having a family dog brings.
I met my husband Jake in college, and we got married in 2012. Together we have been on all sorts of adventures. We have lived all over NY state, changed jobs, had six kids together (yes, six, you read that right!), played a lot of yard games, and played even more board games. However, one of the biggest life changes for us so far was moving from NY to Nashville, TN. 🥳🥳
In 2020, Jake and I relocated our family of six to Nashville, where we had our fifth baby 12 weeks later, and adopted our first doodle- Ferdinand “Ferdy” 6 weeks after that. Looking back, I probably should have waited to get that first pup, but YOLO right? Ferdy was the perfect fuzzy bundle of 3 pound mini, hypoallergenic, red goldendoodle puppy I’d ever laid eyes on. Upon getting Ferd home, we spent countless hours chasing him around the neighborhood, attempting to train him as he nipped at my two-year-olds ankles, cleaning up accidents around the house, and picking up wads of cotton that he had chewed out from underneath our couch. We were totally unprepared to be puppy parents but it didn’t matter. Everyone thinks their children are the best (mine are by the way); it’s the same when you pick out and take home your puppy- it fills your heart with love. And he was (and still is) the cutest little fluff ball.
Ferdy opened our home and hearts to the love that dogs can bring a family and within another calendar year we had adopted two more doodles- Minnie and Lemon. Again, just perfect, loyal, love. 🥰🥰
Fast forward to 2023, Jake and I have now been married for over 10 years and have six gorgeous kids. We love our crazy life- full of family, friends, doodles, and love! Because our life is so full, we want to share our puppy joy with other families. Our goal through Little Creek Doodles is simply to breed our own family dogs in order that other families can experience the love we have had with our family dogs. Excited to meet you all and share on the journey of being dog parents and hopefully soon- dog grandparents! And maybe, if you’re as lucky as we, you’ll take home one of our perfect little pups and fall in love all over again. 🥰
