Heartwarming Story

A good friend of mine who is also an animal lover and is fighting her own battle with cancer sent me this this morning. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one!

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they… Continue

This is A Manly Doodle!

I went to PetSmart today on my run of errands to buy Guinness more "indestructible" toys and to look for a little coat for Izzy. No, we still haven't heard a word. I was thinking though when we get the call we may have to go quickly. Since she's been shaved all the way down, I didn't want her to be cold. I did find a really cute pink plaid cozy coat...so I'm ready. Anyway, I saw a guy with a gorgeous Golden Doodle. He was actually quite a "hotie" - both the guy and his Dood (not that I paid any… Continue

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

There Is Something In Your Dog That You Cannot Own

I came across this and really loved it. It's by Carol Lea Benjamin who wrote "Mother Knows Best - The Natural Way To Train Your Dog".

There is something in your dog that you cannot own - maybe it's the call of the wild. There is a dogness there you can only begin to admire, but, try as you will, you cannot possess or even fully understand it. Trained or not, he'll always be his own dog to a degree. He is yours to enjoy and care for. You can neither change his true…
