Last night around 6:45 Whopper finished eating dinner and I decided to take her for a walk in the decent weather before the storm to come. She quickly took care of all of her business and we went on a pretty casual stroll around the neighborhood. Towards the end we ran into her best buddy Kian, a 2 year old golden retriever. As the 2 were playing and carrying on with their usual antics, a small dog showed up and Whopper gave him her usual excited greeting and they moved on after a few minutes.… Continue

He walks

O.K. -- with the assistance of a tall wheeled walker, belted, with the O.T. and P.T. -- but hey-- it's a great start. He walked about 50 feet!

Jess had a good day today. I believe he is aware that his life will not be the same as he is grateful to be alive, with awareness of his miracle. As he strengthens, in time his heart can also grow stronger. The topic of transplant waits as his focus is to rebuild.

I am tired tonight so this will be short. I will head to Mayo after… Continue

Fenway's Last Night As an Only Doodle

We go to pick up Dustin (our goldendoodle puppy) tomorrow after I get out of school so tonight will be Fenway's last night as an only doodle. She is a spoiled little princess and gets tons and tons of attention all of the time, but we've really been laying it on thick this week and she's been eating it up. Lee, my DH, is conviced that she is going to pack her bags and leave once she figures out that Dustin is staying for good and not here for just a visit. He thinks she likes being an only dog.… Continue

Laser light, Flashlight & Sunlight Fixation

Once upon a time Sam discovered he liked to catch lights and reflections. HIs Doodle Dad and he had a great time. Chasing, running and leaping his 86#'s all over the house. He cannot figure out why he cannot catch it, oh how he wants to retrieve it. When the sun shines in the window and leaves its light on the ceiling or floor Sam barks and cries at it, untill we say enough and have him lay down. Sam wants to know if anyone else likes to do this? Jaeger could care less and I think he thinks Sam… Continue

Rusty got his S.T.A.R. Puppy Certificate

Rusty's last night of puppy obedience was last night and he PASSED!! We filled out the paperwork for him to get his AKC S.T.A.R puppy certificate. Evidently, once I send in the paperwork he'll get an official certificate, a medallion and a magazine. Pretty cool! I've listed the things from the AKC site that we had to do in order to pass. Rusty LOVES obedience class so we've already signed up for the next class. YEAH RUSTY!

I cured my addiction!! (well, sort of)

So I am so obviously addicted to DK and to my doodle. So addicted, in fact, that I have let housework and chores fall behind in order to spend more time with Lizzie and getting all of the updates on DK. Laundry has piled up (except for the necessities), dust has coated the furniture, dishes were dirty, and nothing has been ironed for a while. (Adina, It's all your fault!!) Haha!

This addiction was very evident today by the fact that my 4 month-old puppy had never met my vacuum cleaner!!… Continue

Hey, it's April!

I need to mention what happened last night while I was blogging.

Phoebe managed to abscond with three small bananas I had picked up from the market on the way home last night. She watched me place them on the counter. When I was out of site, she took them to her bed, consuming two and the skin of one. (I’m not sure, but I only found one peel.) Adorable, right?

I had a little anxiety going to work this morning. I did not sleep. Jess was given a sleep aide and managed to sleep on… Continue

You Doodle Lovers are Fantastic

I'm an interloper of sorts. I don't own a Doodle I'm just a friend to one. A popular one, though, Benny of BL Ochman fame. I have a Springer Spaniel and I won't mess up the fun Doodle pix with Torry, even though she smilies and reads.

Just a note to say what a wonderful group that shares their love of their pets with each other. Thanks for letting me hang.

See ya Benny!

The Dog Who Wouldn't Play Fetch

Once upon a time there was a dog named Toby who wouldn't play fetch. His Mommy bought him Kong tennis balls, with a lovely squeaker inside, and he didn't care. His Mommy bought plain tennis balls, and he didn't care. He enjoyed sticks, so his Mommy thought, "Aha! I will throw a stick for Toby. He will chase it, and we will play fetch!" But alas, Mommy threw the stick, and Toby watched it sail through the air and hit the ground, then jumped with muddy paws on his Mommy. Mommy threw leaves into… Continue

Lucy -10 months old

What a lovely dog Lucy has turned out to be!!!!

Her latest passion - tennis balls. We have them in every color, some squeak some don't. She stands beside the couch every morning and whines until the one of us who has had the first cup of coffee gets the broom and rounds up anywhere from 4 to 8 tennis balls from under the couch. She is still excavating the back yard. We are waiting patiently for that gusher that will rescue us from the 401k losses.

Language-- Lucy is learning new… Continue

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change… Continue
