If any Empty Nesters are looking for volunteer work and have the home and time to give to a Doodle In Need, let me know. There are just too many Doodles that need foster homes across the US and Canada!!

Okay --- I'm visiting my daugher and her family in Hawaii. My little, Hogan, is home in Wisconsin with my husband and I am really missing him. This is worse than sending your first child away to college!!!!

I love to see sweet little Sheila is cuddled with her stuffed toys. Our Phoebe will be two in May and she actually pulls her toys in with her paw and tucks them under her to cuddle. She never has destroyed her stuffed toys. (Favorites a golden retriever and poodle -- both from Ikea)
Is there anything cuter than a Doodle cuddling with with a stuffed animal?

That is good that she is going to daycare...we found it made a BIG difference when Thomas our goldendoole was 14 weeks to socialize him with other dogs. He loved it and we found him easier to train. Sheila is adorable and I love that she has a human name! After all we named our doodle Thomas!

Yeah, you guys are right. Now I just put my finger in there to get her started. I don't want anxiety--she is going for an hour to daycare w/ the other dogs and then to her first puppy cut. How's that for firm!!! Can I spoil my grandkids rotten if I ever get any?????

Yep, I hand fed Mango too. That's the only way she would eat at first. But it's so touching and sweet. They are little love bugs, remember these moments with fondness, I know I do! What a sweet "baby" you have.
