Cavapoo Puppy Ruby & White Girl | Little Grandmother | 12 Pounds Grown

Yes, she’s my tiny grandmother...She looks as though she's been 67 years old since birth, and should be sitting on the couch, wearing tiny spectacles, crocheting one of the grandkids a nice afghan for Christmas.🎄

Not old in appearance, mind you—she's darling—but there is something wonderfully earnest about that little face. She looks like the puppy who notices you forgot your sweater, worries whether everyone has eaten enough, and would very much appreciate it if the other puppies would stop running through the house.

Sweet Potato Pie may have shown up wearing her fancy white go-go boots, but Prudence has such beautiful soft apricot/caramel curls, a delicate white muzzle and chest, and that soulful little expression. She's quieter visually—which actually suits Prudence perfectly.

Some puppies burst into the world ready to make a spectacle of themselves.

Prudence De' Pup Pup would prefer a word with those puppies.

This sweet little Cavapoo girl is an earnest old soul tucked inside a soft, curly puppy body—the sort of baby who seems to have arrived already possessing good judgment, sensible shoes, and perhaps a recipe for an excellent chicken casserole.

While some of her siblings are busy auditioning for Puppies Gone Wild, Prudence is much more likely to be watching quietly from the sidelines, wondering whether all that carrying-on is strictly necessary.

She's my little old lady.

And I mean that as the highest possible compliment.

Prudence has the same soft, agreeable sweetness I love in her sister Peek-A-Boo. She's gentle, affectionate, compliant-natured, and wonderfully content to be loved on. There is something peaceful about this girl—a tender little quality that makes you instinctively soften your voice when you pick her up.

And Prudence likes being picked up.

Very much.

Her ambitions are refreshingly modest: a comfortable lap, a dependable supply of kisses, pleasant conversation, regular meals, and perhaps a nice spot in bed alongside her favorite person.

She is, after all, retired.

From what, I haven't determined.

Now, compared with a few of her more extravagantly decorated siblings, Prudence arrived in a slightly plainer brown wrapper. No flashy knee-high white go-go boots. No monkey hat. No apparent desire to become an Instagram influencer.

But spend a little time with her and something happens.

You start noticing those soft curls. The sweet white touches around her little face. Those beautiful dark eyes that seem to be studying you with tremendous sincerity.

And then she snuggles in.

That's when Prudence gets you.

Because this isn't a puppy who needs to shout LOOK AT ME! from across the room.

Prudence is the puppy you find yourself still holding twenty minutes later.

She's the one who quietly works her way underneath your chin...and quite possibly straight into your heart.

For someone looking beyond flashy markings for that wonderfully gentle, devoted little Cavapoo companion—the sort who seems born knowing that home is wherever her favorite person happens to be—our sweet Prudence may turn out to be the prettiest package of all.

In this litter of truly stunning Cavapoo babies, my Prudence gets to be the little sleeper candidate: the puppy somebody notices second and falls in love with first. Don’t miss her, she’s a treasure on four-paws.
