What a great day to be a Doodle!

Hi everyone



This is the first time I've posted since January 1st....Sheesh! I've been a little busy and not really had the time, my apologies, but it's Penny's first birthday today so thought I'd better step up. Besides, I promised Michele Barton I would, and I do like to keep my promises. Actually, I suppose it's Penny's second birthday as the first one was when she was born, how confusing is that?

For those that weren't in Group B, this was my humble addition… Continue

27 weeks? That means that Penny is now six months and one week old! I always thought that six months was a milestone in a dog and owner’s relationship, but it came and went virtually unnoticed. For those of you who read my last post a couple of weeks ago, you may remember that I said Penny is so much calmer now and generally well behaved, almost as if she has grown up...BOY WAS I WRONG!



Apparently she was lulling me into a false sense of security since her spaying, which she took in… Continue
