Double Duty- new puppies and a rescue!

Today was a big day over here in my world. Our Riley Doodle had her very first litter- 9 pups total! Mom and babies are all settled in for the big sleep now. 5 females and 4 males.

I had also committed to taking a Dachsund from our local shelter. His kill date would've been today. They couldn't get him placed due to a partial amputation of his front foot. Not sure how that happened, but my friend Carrie picked him up for me and he is the sweetest little guy.Holds his foot up for his… Continue

scardie doodle

Last night I took Neely for a walk. I thought I would take him to the kids play equipment to learn the slide and go through the tunnels ect. The equipment is made out of metal and the stairs are open, as well as the railings on the higher areas. He did not want to go up the steps. I had to get behind him and coax him up. then we went down the slide. I went up next time and he followed very reluctantly. He went down the slide but that was that no more going up those steps.

He has no problem… Continue

TGIF!

Whew! Finally Friday! It has been a long week at work; more than a few 12 hour days. That is the joy of working in IT when a big project is down to the final weeks before ‘go live’. But no matter how late I get home from work, our dogs are always there to greet me. The boys have always been happy to see me, but they are litter mates and have never been separated. After the ‘hi mom, glad your home’ greeting they are back about their business. Harlow on the other hand stays by my side while I am… Continue

annoying doodle parents

Well. I guess I've crossed the line. This web site has been encouraging my doodle addiction. My sons say I have turned into one of those annoying dog owners that take thier dogs everywhere, and do nothing but talk about thier dogs. My youngest son thinks I talk about Neely like he is my first born! They told me to shut up about golden doodles!! And Rusty's surfing video was the last straw for them apparently. So dinner time talk of doodles and Neely's new harness and ear cleaning are no longer… Continue

12 weeks old and 4 weeks in!

Hi everyone!

Penny had her 2nd set of shots on Tuesday and is in the best of health, gaining in weight from 11lbs three weeks ago, to 17lbs now....what a moose!

Walking her on the leash is still going well, but she's now trying to assert herself more, and I'm having to check her a lot more, but that's to be expected as she gains in confidence. I'm still in charge though, and she knows it...most of the time.

Has anyone has seen those dog toys called 'Skineez'?… Continue

AFTER THE FALLOUT......

A few weeks ago, I posted a forum about Fozzy biting/grabbing the boys' arms and jumping on them, wanting to play. He was leaving scratches and bruises. I was looking for advice how to deal with Fozzy's behavior, also asking if anyone thought it would be worthwhile to look into an e-collar. Well, it got pretty heated.......I was even told I was committing child abuse by not keeping the dog away from the boys that he sleeps with every night. Well, needless to say, I was VERY upset with that… Continue

My Deepest Apologies! -Copy of and starting a discussion re: my comment on 'Dogs Do Not Live in the Past"

Dear DK Family,

I must apologize to you for allowing this discussion to have even started. I must be suffering from New Foster Mommy Syndrome (I can't say New Mommy because I am not his Mommy and cannot start thinking that way). I do not usually air my feelings that way much less in such a public forum and I apologize for any discomfort I may caused anyone.

Please accept my apologies and have a fantastic day!

Adrianne

Dear DK members,

Now that I have found this room; to prevent a faux pas, please describe to me how a blog is different than a forum discussion?… Continue

We lost an old friend and gained a new friend today...

We had to euthanize Holly's best friend and our darling cat today. We had him for twelve years and he was wonderful. He came down with mass-cell cancer and his life was no longer happy because his hair was falling out in clumps and he couldn't hold down his food - even a prescription diet.

However we found a new friend, a rescue Maltese, whom we are fostering for the American Maltese Rescue. The poor girl was covered with fleas and ticks and had burrs all over. She was found… Continue

Fun with Finn

Well it's day 5 with Finnegan at home with us. Yankee is definitely warming up to him. He still plays a little too rough and I sometimes have to separate them. Finn is a bundle of energy, not at all what Yankee was and is like. He never stops which means neither do I. He tears around the house and Yankee gets excited and goes after him.

I took him to a nearby park and he ran in puddles, chased a ball and dug in the sand. Last night I gave each of the dogs a rawhide chew. Finn wanted… Continue

Back from Cool CA

We are home, unfortunately...... Santa Barbara was fantasticly cool and refreshing. We walked to the park everyday, and had fun on the beach too. Buddy loves to run in the Ocean, and Kona had fun rolling on and dragging every dead bird and animal she could find on the beach (YUCK). I knew we were in trouble when the Turkey Vultures were swirling around, Kona just followed the birds for a nice smelly treat :)

We were visiting my Aunt and she has two Australian Sheppards and they all… Continue
