Rua here! I can go all night without having to go potty and while Momma and Papa are at work, I go 1/2 a day before someone comes home to let me out and play. I haven't had one accident in my crate...that should count for something.

Well, it was Papa's job yesterday to come home at noon and take me out to go potty and play with me for a while. I'll just fast-foward to the text message he sent Momma as he was going back to work... "I am…

Hey friends, Clifford here, and my mom just told me we are going on an adventure tomorrow! We are going to meet up with some other doodles in Ohio at a huge dog park. I'm really excited and a little nervous...I've never been swimming before and I saw pictures of them doing daredevil jumps off a dock. I hope they don't laugh at me.



I'll let you know how much fun it is when I get back tomorrow.

UPDATE:

WOW! I had the best time of my life so far!!! I met Spud,…

So my mom and dad have been trying to teach me to come when this loud sound comes out of this toy they put in their mouths, I think they call it a whissle. I have been doing pretty well, coming in from outside when the noise happens and my mom is there waiting with a piece of carnivore crunch YUM...Well today we went to the dog park, I found this really cute Standard Poodle to run around with, she was fast but not as FAST as me. So mom wants to get my attention and she blows the whissle…

Let me officially say "I hate dew claws!"

Murphy just ripped his dew claw out for the third time. This time I pulled it out so we didn't make the rush to the vet...it was after hours anyway. (I had watched the vet do this the first 2 times.) I used a stiptic pencil to stop the bleeding. He really isn't happy with me right now.

It has happened the same way all three times. Running in freshly mowed grass catching a frisbee. WTD!!!

Has anyone else…

Toys R Us just released the Blu-ray/DvD Combo pack today (as did other retailers) but Toys R Us has it advertised for $22.99…

Has it really been over 2 weeks since F Scott joined us? Time flies when you’re having fun. Scottie loves to play in the backyard with Harlow. There are endless games of Fox and Hound. They run and run and run; then they collapse for a long nap. Scott has turned into a cuddle bug. He loves to put his front paws on our lap, lay his head on our chests and give our chins doodle kisses.

We continue to work at walking around the neighborhood. Scott is still very, very shy. We are…

Oh, sweet Harvey (or "Harvitee Hoo Hoo" as I tend to call him). Every day I look at Harvey and see so many good changes, and see that more of his fear has receded.

Many of my neighbors got to meet Harvey the first night I had him. He managed to slip his harness when we went outside and it was a group effort to retrieve him! I am VERY fortunate to live on a street and in a community filled with dog lovers (my block has 18 townhomes...and there are a total of 11 dogs)! None of…

My Mom decided to buy me a Halloween Costume last year (she said she got a REALLY good deal on it when my Dad asked) after Halloween. She brought it out from the closet the other day and put it on me. I didn't move a muscle. I wouldn't even look at her, I was so mad at that lady. She even brought out a piece of my very favorite thing in the whole world (a piece of Chicken from the refrigerator!!!) and I didn't even move. Nothing was going to make me move in that…

Rua here to update you on my morning! Papa left on Wednesday for a vacation (whatever that is) in Florida (that's where Gramma J lives) for his birthday but Momma stayed home to be with me since I am so little. Momma thought she would try to read the paper this morning (they are in the driveway every morning when we go for our walk...in an orange bag. Momma has Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's in orange bags still so I don't know why she needed to take Sunday's out of the…

Murphy's friend Pogo, a Welsh Springer Spaniel that has been to multiple hunting schools, invited Murph to come to his house and play. Pogo and Murphy spent the day retrieving duck dummies. Not having his own personal pool, Murphy didn't understand the rules. Pogo, a little short guy, said "Its like water polo. NO touching bottom."

"Dood, you are cheating!!"

"Who? ME?"

BTW, the water is 4…

I do believe I have the best puppy in the whole world....OK, perhaps that is stretching it a bit too far...perhaps in Nebraska...OK, for sure in our house! She has been here 8 nights and unless I get up to go "potty", she sleeps through the night. If she hears me get up, she'll make 1 little bark. I figure I might as well take her out while I am up. If my DH gets up in the middle of the night, she doesn't, but will start stirring around 5:44.

Potty training is going great.…
