Donna K & Quincy's Blog – April 2011 Archive (6)

I think Mother Nature is just mean but Quincy was tickled pink at what we found when we went outside this morning. I was a little confused, it looked more like Christmas than Easter. Three inches of snow blanketed the ground and while it looked nice and clean, enough already. Quincy had a great time playing in it and offered no complaints. Even though it looks more like Chistmas we want to wish all our doodle friends a Happy Easter, hope the Easter Bunny brings lots of fun for…

Tomorrow marks our two year doodleversary. It's hard to believe it's been two years since Quincydoodle came into our lives, the time has gone by so fast. It took me two years of research and showing DH millions of cute puppy pictures to finally get him to agree to getting a dog. I wanted a big dog that was low shedding and that led me to the goldendoodle. From the day he came home we were hooked, so much so that DH keeps talking about getting another one. Quincy has bought so much joy to our…

We've been waiting for spring and it's finally arrived. We went for a walk on the golf course and were joined by Quincy's friend Fenway. Fenway's mom works at the golf course and he has free run of the place. The first time we met him we thought he was lost and I was having visions of a brother for Quincy. I was a little disappointed when we found out he wasn't lost and he couldn't come home with us.They had a great time and except for the unplanned trip into the river it was wonderful.

While she was out her DH spotted a mouse and like the good husband he was, he did his very best to catch it before his wife came home. The mouse ran behind the fridge and there was nothing else to do but pull out the fridge to get the mouse. His son was right there with him on the great…

All I Really Need to Know I Learned from my Dog



Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is… Continue

The wind howls loudly and snow flurries move sideways across my window panes, a fire flickers softly in the fire place. There is no place to go, it's warm and cozy inside, cold and harsh outside, what to do, what to do. Find a good book, cuddle on the sofa with my favorite dood, a scratch of the belly and a rub of the ears and he is putty in my hands. A long winters day you think, no, not winter but the beginnings of spring. Spring conjures up visions of sunshine, greening grass , long walks…
