Mickey Is Home

Mickey is our first foster. He is an F1b Chocolate Doodle, born February 9, 2009 (Samantha's birthday is February 9, 2008) He is so adorable, skinny (I feel every rib and vertebrae on his body), scared - all of which I can change. He has no clue that grass is good, what to do with a toy or a ball. So sad. Again, all of which I can change.

What I cannot change is what he has endured in his first 4 months of his life. Anyone that has some time, love in their hearts, and some room -… Continue

11 weeks old and 3 weeks in!

Hi everyone. What can I say? Penny is definitely part of the family now...as she should be, considering how much of my time she occupies when she's awake...which is a lot! I've had work in this week too, talk about time management!

I bought one of those one piece slip collars and leashes the other day, and Penny quickly "got it!", she walks even better now. About every other day, one neighbor or another comes out when we're walking asking what breed she is, and commenting on how well… Continue

Fireworks and Yankee

Well, our fireworks are going off as we speak. Yankee was a little nervous at first and hovering around me. He was panting and seemed uncomfortable. I have been ignoring him so now he has gone to lay on the couch and watch me on the computer like he usually does.

It gets quiet for awhile and then the fireworks start again. I think he is getting used to it.

First Grooming Blues

I've got the first puppy grooming blues....Went to Pet Smart for trim around his face, bath, ears, etc. He hated it...cried through the whole thing. They blew him dry which made him have "big hair". My husband thought I had the wrong dog. And, he really smells like a girl wearing very cheap perfume. Looks like I'll be learning how to do this myself for the future.

Remington meets Cassy the Doodle :)

Last evening Dan and I went to the Dog Park around 7ish. There was a good amount of dogs in there when we arrived. I had a ton of reading I needed to do for class so I decided that I would sit out on the bench outside the park and read while Dan was in there with Remington... well... that didn't work out to well because my little Remington kept sticking his nose through the fence as if to say... "Mom, come in here with us!" Of course I put down everything I was doing to go spend some time with… Continue
