I'm A Hopeless Doodle Addict!

Today I officially became a Hopeless Doodle Addict!

This is such an honor! I'd like to thank Darwin, for being an inspiration and giving me lots of good material. Thanks to DH for allowing me to spend hours on my laptop with minimal complaining... thanks to all the DK members who have helped me along the way....

LOL. Seriously though, I'm really excited. It was about a year ago that I joined DK, and I have learned so much since then. Not only have I…

The Photo Shoot

We finally got some photos taken of Darwin with a nice camera! A friend of the family brought her SLR over to get some family portraits, and took some lovely photos of Darwin afterwards. She also took ADORABLE photos of Darwin and my nephew Wes. It's so nice to have nice photos of Darwin!

Here are a few of my favorites.…

Darwin Meets A Bunny

We went over to my friend's house a week ago or so, and she introduced Darwin to Poe, her adorable little bunny. To be honest, I wasn't sure how Darwin would react so I sat right next to him as he approached the cage. His reaction was so cute! He sat and stared right at that bunny, wagging his tail. No barking, nervousness, or pawing the cage. Just watching it. He sat there for about 30 minutes. He would occasionally run over to us then run back to the cage (this is his way of trying to get us… Continue

Darwin And Duck Don't Mix!

We decided to change things up and by the Duck and Oatmeal formula of the brand we buy. Just to keep things interesting for Darwin. He's done well on every other formula we've tried, so we weren't worried. Well, for the past week or so he's had horrible gas, bad diarrhea, and nasty breath. We haven't switched treats at all so I can only guess it's his food. Poor Darwin is kind of miserable and I'm sick of the gas (actually EVERYONE is sick of the gas), so we decided not to use the rest of the… Continue

I am FED UP with crappy dog owners!!!!!!!!!

Darwin was attacked today. Full on attacked. And the horrible dog drew blood.

DH and I got invited to go hang out with some friends at a really nice grassy park. We wanted to play Frisbee. Well, this park is also an off-leash dog area so we thought we would bring Darwin. The nice thing about the park is that although it's an off-leash area, there are rarely dogs there, and when there are dogs there, it's just one or two well behaved dogs playing fetch. Much nicer than your…

One Year Ago Today...

(I know, I've done 3 blog posts in the last week. But it's been an eventful week.)

One year ago today, we brought Darwin home. I was so torn between excitement that I FINALLY had my own dog, and being terrified that I had made the wrong decision. What if I wasn't ready? What if something happened to him? The first couple of weeks were tons of fun, and very stressful. I remember wondering what he would be like in a year.

Well, it's been a year,…

Darwin Is Pet Of The Month!

Darwin won the "Holistic Select Pet Of The Month" contest that I entered. I am pretty excited, because it's the first time I entered. :-) Forgive the kissing up speech I gave next to his photo... I wanted the gift basket. LOL. We really do like this food though, it's great. If I understand it right... he should be on the cover of their food catalog or something...…

Darwin Almost Pooped On Another Dog's Head... (eeew)

We took Darwin to the dog park yesterday, and the most hilarious thing happened. There was a Pit named "Princess" there, and her owners were a nice couple with a cute little girl. They were having a fun time watching the dogs play, and the girl (who was 4 or 5) was especially excited about their antics. I mention them because the poor little girl was probably traumatized after this...

Princess and Darwin were having a great time, chasing, wrestling, jumping through the…
