You and your dog(s)

[Lynda Kamrath]

After 34 years of marriage and 6 dogs, I know that dogs will always be a part of our lives.  How about sharing some information on you and your dog(s).  I will start.  About you:  marital status, # of children, # of grandchildren.  About your dog(s): Name, breed  Okay, here goes:

Marital status:  Married (34 years)

Children: 1

Grandchildren: 0

Dogs:  Scampi, Airedale (my dog)

           Barney, Miniature Poodle (husband's dog)

           Tracey,  Shepherd (son's dog)

           Bruno, Standard poodle (husband's dog)

           Hondo, Labradoodle (my BEST dog ever)

           Groucho Too, Goldendoodle (my dog)

           Harpo, Australian Labradoodle (my dog)

As you can see, since we have discovered doodles, they are my dogs but we share all of them.  How about you?

Marital Status:  Married 35 years, as of June 4

Children: 1 daughter 

Grandchildren: 1 granddaughter, and another grandchild in the "planning" stage

Granddogs: Dixie (now deceased), Jack (Yorkie), and Lucy (White Lab)

Our Dog: Sedona - multi-gen Labradoodle, will be 3 next month  -- we waited until my husband retired to get our first dog.  SO GLAD WE HAVE HER!!!

***  We've had cats, cats, and more cats - some we got on purpose, most we got because strangers decided to "release" them into the country rather than take them to the shelter.  At one point, we had 14 cats!  Now, we have just one: Hercules, 15 years old and deaf (or at least very hard-of-hearing).

We got our first doodle right after my husband retired, but we had several dogs before we got started with the doodles.  They do require a lot of attention and it was best that we were with them all the time - much of it just at home doing our thing, but lots of time out riding bikes and walking our guys (preferably off-leash).  My husband spent the first three years of his retirement doing a major home remodel and building on, and the dogs were here for it all.  Good company.

Married 38 years

One daughter

One grandson

Granddogs-

Bella-Vizsla 3 years

Dash- rescue Vizsla 18 months

 Past dogs.-

Shadow- boy Bedlington Terrier- lived 13 years

Samantha- girl Bedlington Terrier- lived 12 years

Amber (a rescue) girl Bedlington Terrier- went to a forever home and we lost track of them when we moved.

Marty- Bedlington Terrier- lived 13 years  He was our Best Boy!  We still miss him soooo much!

     After Marty died we thought we would never get another dog...it hurt so much to lose him. 

 I suffered 3 years without a dog and finally convinced my husband that I NEEDED a dog in my life.

                              SO...we finally found

Bailey- our mini Golden Doodle!! Bailey just turned one July 3. She is the light of our life!!

    Photo is of us driving home with our Bailey after picking her up at the airport. 

     She was 6 months old.  Our smiles say it all!!

Another Bedlington lover!! My hubby was so upset at losing Norton that i couldn't get another one for fear that the poor dog would never measure up to his predecessor. Bailey is adorable!! I can't live without a dog (or two or three) in my life either!

[Gail and Bailey]

Ginny- that is why we did not get another Bedlington.  My hubby was so devastated when our last one died that I just had to chose a different breed.  We love Bailey to pieces!!  Doodles are the best!  I am working on finding her a playmate.  :)
