My word this week is from My Life Undecided by Jessica Brody.

Golden Doodle

Noun: A Goldendoodle is a mixed breed dog, a hybrid cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.

Example of Use: "Golden retriever and poodle." The crinkles around her mouth soften just a fraction as she stares at her former companion.

"Oh, a golden doodle!" I say excited that I actually know the name of the breed thanks to Brian and his little Heimlich maneuver pinecone story."*
