Better late than never... pictures of Remington's Birthday Celebration!

On Friday Feb. 5th 2010 we celebrated Remington's 1st Birthday with cake, presents, and a party! Not many of Remi's friends and family were able to come since we had a major snow storm that evening, but still he had a great time! The party include us of course as well as our friend Mike (the best dog sitter in the world) and his parents who have claimed Remington as their God Dog :) Here are a few pictures of Remi's special day!

First we had to take a quick bath before our guests… Continue

I Just Had A Major Scare!

I am in the basement on the computer as usual. DH is gone out and Cody (my grandson) is running around the house like a madman as usual. It was a typical evening. For those who don't know, Cody is autistic and non verbal. The TV down here is on and I am hard of hearing.

All of a sudden, I think I hear voices upstairs so I go up to take a look. There are 2 of my neighbors standing in my front hallway. I wondered what the heck was going on.

They informed me that a child came to… Continue

Disasterous Manscaping!!

I have done a really bad thing. I trimmed Neely's Man area. He has not left it alone since. He has it black and blue and soaking wet. We have put a diaper on him and the tip of his doodle do do sticks out enough to get at it. We have tried putting Lanacane anti itch cream on it. Apparently that tastes great! He has a thing for lotions to begin with. He loves to lick it off while your lathering up your feet! So we tried sprinkling it with gold bonds power. That just makes a sticky white paste…

Importance of the Food Group

I need to blog a little....

I've said it before...I will say it again - the Food Group is such an informative group on DK - may be the best in my opinion. If we had it before 2007, wouldn't it have saved quite a few of us from a lot of grief?

My Taquito (aka Tacky) lived through those terrible food recalls, but now has kidney problems at age 6 (due to chicken jerky recalls - sick for 2 months - almost died). Too young for that. I did feed high quality food…

Back in Virginia with Haley Doodle

I returned home from Georgia Sunday afternoon after an uneventful 8 ½ hour road trip. Haley was let outside as I was walking to the house. What a sight. All 66 pounds of flying doodle charging straight at me. He was such a good boy and did not jump on me but ran back and forth running circles around me and finally stopped for some hugs and kisses.
Thanks to every one for their kind comments to my blog Away from Home and Missing My Doodle.

Bad luck again - thanks to Benny

When Benny was loosing his milk teeth I tried really hard to get one of these teeth but he managed to swallow them all....

Now Tyler started to loose his milk teeth as well and it seems that he also swallowed them as well so far.

Then all of a sudden while Benny and Tyler were wrestling (inside and actually not allowed lol) I heard a soft click and saw a little white thing blinging on the wooden floor. A milk tooth - yeah!

Unfortunately not only I…

My little cousin picks a puppy. This is WAY cute!

My Aunt has been waiting three years to get a goldendoodle pup. She wanted her son to be at least five. Presley turns five in a couple weeks, so the time has finally come! This litter is almost 6 weeks now. They came over last night to choose their pup. These pictures are so precious, I just love them and had to share! :o)…

Natalie had her first date on Valentine's Eve.

So this is my chick, huh? Do I just grab her and go?

If he thinks he can just grab me and go...then I can…

Sheila's Travelin' Case

I leave to get Sheila in Maine on early Tues. morning. I am so excited to meet Sheila and her sibling Tucker. I just pray the snow holds off long enough for me to dart to Maine and back to Illinois--although can one DART to Maine? Two planes and a 3 hr.rental car ride from Portland, ME to Dover-Foxcroft, ME. I hope it's not too hard on the little thing. I will wear plenty of layers just in case of accidents. This reminds me of when I flew with our 15 mo. old deaf child back…

Sigh...

Just got the five week pictures tonight, and pups had been freshly bathed. They are all just beeautiful little creatures. I have no idea how we are going to make this decision.

The breeder indicated that three of the nine have wool coats. The others have fleece. Is there any difference from an allergy standpoint? I've posted the pics of the three wool coated puppies. They will knock your socks off...

Not Doodle Related...

I have been experimenting with my point and shoot a lot lately... mostly to convince myself I don't need a fancy SLR. :-) Anyways, I have been using the different settings and decided to try out the super macro. It's AMAZING! I don't think I have ever been able to get such a sharp photo from so up close. I need to work on keeping my hands more still, or perhaps getting out the tabletop tripod. There are a few things that could be in clearer focus. But If you like to take pictures of still life… Continue

Anticipation II

Next weekend we visit the breeder to pick out our pup. I think at this point, 'anticipation' is an understatement. We're actually in pain with excitement. The latest?? We had been waiting all week - day after day after day - for last night's pics of the litter, along with growth information that the…

KFC Fiery Grilled Chicken Wing Scare!

Yes. They are really good, and my son loves them. But this is a story about how we spent 2 days sick and nervous over the Fiery Grilled Chicken!! My son (15) decided to clean the kitchen inside and out, because he was bored after so may snow days off from school, and also in hope of allowance increase by attempting to show off his cleaning skills ( hahaha )and surprising me when I got home. There were a box of Fiery Chicken Wings bones he…

The Valentine Bandana

I am so jealous of all you DK'rs with Doodles who will let you dress them up. So, this week I decided that at least Guinness could wear a Valentine bandana. I couldn't find one anywhere. So, even though I'm the least crafty person ever, off I went to the fabric store to buy Valentine and St. Patrick's Day material. I also bought "pinking scissors" so I could do this without ever breaking out the needle and thread (I was just going to "fray the edges like I used to do to my jean shorts, but the… Continue

Happy 4th Birthday Rosco!!!

Happy Birthday to my 'first' baby "Living Streams Robert ROSCO Redfur"!!! If it weren't for you there'd have been no DK! No immersion into the world of dogs and training and dingleberries! It's a bittersweet day as today would have been Thule's 5th birthday too.

I was thrilled when 4 years ago today I heard news that his mom FINALLY had the litter (2 months gestation back then felt awfully long!). Then 2 months later we brought home this cutie pie:

Here's a flashback blog you… Continue

Does Yankee see colors?

I thought dogs were colour blind! I'm beginning to think that Yankee can see colors. He has always attacked this black doodle named Jackson. He doesn't really hurt him but he throws him to the ground and stands over him snarling viciously. Today, he attacked a black doodle that I thought was Jackson but it turned out to be Brody. Same thing, he throws him down and snarls and sounds so nasty. He doesn't hurt them and thank goodness the owners can see that. They are not at all concerned. On the… Continue

Mom I Think I broke my Tongue!

I took this pic of Sophie yesterday when she was outside playing in the snow. When DH saw it he said the exact same thing I thought when I first saw it ...... It looks like her tongue is broke!
