Linda,Yankee & Finn's Blog – August 2009 Archive (6)

I am baffled by Yankee's behaviour. Several months ago we met a black doodle puppy named Jackson at the dog park. Yankee played with him on several occasions and we watched him grow. He was almost as big as Yankee at 6 months. Well since I got Finn, we went less to the dog park and I haven't seen Jackson in a while.



About 2 weeks ago and again today we saw Jackson coming into the park as we were leaving. Yankee attacked him!!!! Jackson is very energetic and comes running towards us… Continue

My digital camera died a few days ago and I couldn't stand not having one. Off I went to find a new one with my son's help. He likes to check out all the reviews before I buy anything.

I'm still learning how to use it but I got one really great action shot of my doodles. Here it is!

I went to the vet today and Finn weighed in at 25 lbs. He may end up being bigger than I thought. He parents were only 45 and 50 lbs so I figured he would be about the same. At the rate he is growing, looks like he will be as big as Yankee after all. I am definitely pleased.

Well, this is my 4th groomer. I hope I have finally found the one. She works out of her home and lives within a 10 minute drive. I dropped Yankee off at 9am and he did have some mats. I had most of them out Wed night but yesterday he went swimming in the pool. Not good.



She brought me inside and showed me her grooming area. She has 3 dogs (one is a rescue) and a cat. She also has 5 foster kittens. Obviously an animal lover so that's a good sign. Her grooming room looked great. She… Continue

Well after Finn fell in the pool, I was afraid that he would be scared of the water. Not at all. He has actually started to swim a little bit. He is just 13 weeks. Problem is, he is wet all the time. Not necessarily from swimming but from his new lounging spot.
