Hi Doods! Yesterday I turned 10 months old.... mom says she can hardly believe it! I have been at home with her for 8 months now. It has been a while since I blogged and lots has happened, so I thought I would blog and update y'all (you know I live in Texas - right?) on what I have been up to!

A couple of months ago - my mom took me to the dog park! Well, now she takes me every Saturday morning - for 3 hours! My friends Malu, Knox, Captain, Guinness (Doodles) and Macy (yellow…

Wheezy has been with us for two weeks now and is doing wonderful..........house training is going good too. Ellie is constantly by her side. We would be lost without her.

She is still on 2 pills a day.....and goes back…

You can’t keep a good Labradoodle down. We are learning that as we try to keep Gus calm and without any stress on his heart or lungs as the heartworm treatment does its job. Gus is still a puppy at heart and playing in the sprinklers on a hot day fills him with such a joyous exuberance for life that it’s hard to stop him.

We took him to the park today for a short walk. It was his first time to ride in my Passat rather than Tom’s roomier Jeep.…

Well, several days ago I finally, with much self talk and encouragement from DK got up the courage to try giving Tara a scissor cut. What I had not factored in accurately was Tara's tolerance level for being "messed with" and my excruciatingly slow methodology. Bad combo!

So here we are 4 days later. The first day I was able to get the top of her head cut. That was IT! Next day, under ears and down to collar level. Done. Third day I worked down her back about 1/3 of the way…

Many of us are not ashamed to stand up and say" My Name is ________ and I'm a doodle addict, however there are some side effects of being addicted to doodles and DK. Some are good, some not so much. I'll start with the good ones first.

I learn tons of stuff that is necessary to be a good doodle mom

I get to meet and chat with lots of new friends.

I get to share and feel good about all the doodles in need that find their forever families because of DK.

I get lots…

Some of you have heard me say that Peri will tear through every toy imaginable, aside from Zogoflex toys:

I have been meaning to post this - Peri has a new toy obsession....the Planet Dog Orbo w/ Treat Spot:

We put Sojos treats in them and they are hard for her to get out - she…

Not sure if anyone saw this on David Letterman ~ this is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!!

I had a bad dream during the early hours of this morning...

I dreamed that I opened the door, and Koda bolted, he leaped over the wall and plunged 9 storeys to his death! I was histerical, sobbing and begging my DH to rush him to the emergency clinic so that the doctor could fix him up and make him well again :(

I woke up from my dream, sobbing! DH comforted me...

Zooey brought her binky (or rather Koda's new birthday binky toy) up to the bed and…

I have been holding off posting this but then I saw that Coco is showing adopted on Petfinder. And it is true, she has a wonderful forever family that is driving from upstate New York to Atlanta to pick her up. They will be here next week. Coco will have both a doggie sister and brother. She will be able to romp and play with them on 3 acres filled with lots of good smells.



Coco's new family says that their other dogs ration their kisses so they are excited that Coco…
