Last night Charlie/Marley wanted to come upstairs to bed with me for the first time. He refused to go up the stairs. I left a treat trail up the stairs but he would not come. He slept downstairs, but he whined for a while wanting to come up but not willing to do it. I guess I will address whatever phobia that is tonight.

Meeting of the minds or just hard heads...…

This is my first blog post and I am thrilled to have a place to share my excitement in getting our new puppy. My husband, family and friends are going to be glad that I have found a place to express myself because I am sure I am driving them all crazy right now. Rua (Irish/Gaelic for red-haired) is a F1B Mini Goldendoodle and was born on 7/27/2010. We will pick her up on Friday, 9/24/2010 in Hull IA (150 miles from Omaha).

We have a 9 year old female DLH cat named PuffDog and…

Saturday we met our first foster doodle. He is a 6 month old labradoodle. Someone adopted him a month ago and he "didn't work out with her maltese". (What was she thinking?) He is a wonderfully engergetic and happy boy. He loves toys and balls and chew things. He is about 50 lbs and very quick and agile. He makes 100 lb Murphy look like the polar bear in that car commercial (I see a diet in Murphy's future)

Murphy is like a grumpy old man but it does seem to bother this guy. He keeps…

Where to start? Dh was feeling very sad that he wasn't going to with me to see the new puppies tomorrow - and to find out if our little guy was really our Rooney. My poor husband flys home from NYC to our home in Ft. Myers every Thurs. or Fri. and flys back out again on Monday - hey - in todays world - it is a job.

So I send our dear, sweet breeder a note on Saturday asking if there was any way to move the appointment - she was very…

Someone posted this on the facebook. So cute and funny!!

The past couple of days have been nice, though I spent more time in the crate than usual. I'm starting to like it now that I'm bigger, and Mom took out the blanket that makes me hot. It's a stupid blanket with funny looking things that Mom calls penguins. I'd drag it out of the crate and pee on it. I think she got the message.

Yesterday I saw Mom do the things she does when we're going to go for a car ride or if she's…

Hi Doods,

Some of you may remember my blog post about a month ago about my doodle decorating efforts in the master bathroom. If you haven't seen it.... here is the link: http://www.doodlekisses.com/profiles/blogs/shelby-doodle-exploring-a-new I had gotten such great feedback from you all including an offer from Murphy (of Guinness and Murphy) to go into business together.... that I decided…

I spent some time this morning reading blogs and I just want to say I enjoy everyone's blogs so much!!! I sat here and had tears in my eyes laughing at some of the funny things you have written about your doodles.

We have had Wheezy our new puppy for 4 weeks.....she is doing just great and we have so much fun with her and Ellie.....they are responsible for putting about 10 thousand smiles on my face a…

I have my office set up in what use to be our living room. My computer table is situated so I can look out the window to my front yard. This morning I was surfing DK (just like I do every morning) when a large fluttering object caught my eye. I was able to grab my camera and got a picture of ...

a Red Tail Hawk sitting in a small dogwood tree. As I was focusing my camera to get…

Finally! I am going to get to meet my puppy, not just see his adorable self in a video or photo sent by the breeder. And I'm nervous - like blind date nervous! He will be 4 weeks old this Tuesday and I am driving 3 hours up to the breeders home for my first 'face to muzzle". Typically I wouldn't be meeting him in person (dog?) this early but I am traveling to Europe and will be gone for a bit so I need to do this before I leave.

Need to do…
