I have a free blackberry curve. Only 1 year old. Only a quarter eaten. Screen plastic cover broken, but doesn't affect the picture quality. Kinda unsightly on one side, with the chew marks and all. Op's the number 7 just fell out of the keypad, but sure it wouldn't take much to fix.



I fell asleep with Sir Riley on my chest. I don't know if he took it out of my pocket, or it fell to the floor. My wife came into the room and took it from him, it is pretty much trashed. It still works,… Continue

I was doing stuff outside. Realized after awhile that I hadn't seen Riley for a while. I looked thru the house and no Riley!. I panicked big time, I checked his outside kennel ( he has access from his room). No Riley, he wasn't anywhere!. I thought he somehow got outside when I was going outside to fix my truck cover. Found him in the bathroom, with the door closed after I had been in there. He doesn't bark, so don't know how long he would of stayed in there before voicing his confinement. My… Continue

My sister in law came over today, and worked on Riley. He got his pads, face, and ears done. Told her she better stay around for as long as Riley does as I could not afford all the maintenance I am getting for a little bar-b-que and smoked meat/chicken otherwise. Everyone with a doodle needs a groomer in the family.! I am so blessed.

Sir Riley, (as he is the king of the roost) weighed in at 21.9 @ 6 months. Got his rabies shot this morning, missed the first 15 minutes of the Texas/OU game. Texas won all that matters. Checked with breeder, she said he should have his height now (15inches), but will fill out more thru the chest and rear. So hopefully he will be in the neighborhood of 25 pounds grown. My wife wanted him to stop growing some time ago.



It is getting into our wet and cold season here in Portland. My… Continue

I thought there was only one place in my whole yard that Riley could get dirty. That is my half wine barrel with a bamboo plant in it. Well, I now know now there is a second place. The grand kids have a sandbox with a cover over it. The kids piled rocks on it, and with the recent rain made a rock pool (dirty). Three days after his bath Riley got on top of the cover and proceeded to dig. He was dirty from head to toe. I got home from work, and the first thing my wife said to me was " You are not… Continue

Well fall is here, and has been very cool here in Portland the last couple of days. I plan on bathing Riley tomorrow as it is supposed to be nice. I have to post this, as I need the prompts to go ahead with the project. Want to get a picture of him all soaked, as he really looks like a wet chihuahua. My wife went to Costco today and brought back a pack of soft dog animals for Riley, he has been working on them non stop since he was given them. Costco employee said that they were flying off the… Continue
