Bright and early tomorrow morning, 4:30A.M. to be exact, I am embarking on a grand adventure with 88 seventh grade students. Yes, that is correct. Along with 10 other chaperones, I will be spending five solid days on an island off the coast of California learning about ecology, the environment, and sustainability. My balmy days will be filled, morning to night, with hiking, swimming, snorkeling, rope climbing, and mainly monitoring all of my little charges.…

Milt is like a child to us, so when he has been a good boy, I like to reward him. This is especially true when Milton has been home alone bored all day while I am at school. A housebound dog necessitates a trip to Petco after work to alleviate some of the stress after a long, hard day of solitude. On that note, all Halloween toys are 50% of at Petco, so get them while they are hot! …

Milton is still on a steady schedule of three days daycare, two days off and loving it! In the early morning, the Milt drags Jeff inside daycare and leaves him without a backward glance. Likewise, when I pick him up, he runs out, hardly looks at me, and hops in the car promptly shutting his eyes and falling asleep for the short ride home. Why is the Milt dog so tired? What goes on at daycare? Well, here's a little explanation gained through a conversation I had with a daycare employee…

This past weekend, Jeff's brother Jeremy came into town, so we needed to show him a good time, and, of course, the Milt had to be included too! Our goldendoodle has really introduced us to the world of outdoor dining. That night all of us dined at a local restaurant that has a terrific patio area peppered with picnic tables and space heaters because it is finally that time of year in Dallas when sweaters and boots are making an appearance. Milton and his little buddy, Leo, cozied up under…

Recently I was driving down a busy street in Dallas, and while stopped at a traffic light, I happened to gaze up to see this sign - Milton St.! I could not believe my eyes; I had found a street named after my boy. Me even observing a street name is rather odd because I am quite unobservant, so of course, I had to snap a quick photo of it!…

Every night our family has a little routine. About 15 minutes before we are all about to hop into bed, either Jeff or I take Milton out for his final walk of the day. We go down the stairs, cut through the parking lot, wander about the gardens, take one, hopefully, two bathroom breaks, and wrap around to the pool. To Milton, this pool stop is the equivalent of a bedtime bath.
Milt never breaks routine and consistently climbs down to always the first step of the shallow end…

The Milt and I are proud members of the amazing Doodle Kisses. DK's slogan is, "Where Doodle Owners Can Connect," and that is certainly the truth as I have met two very good Dallas friends through this site. In addition to the awesome photographs and videos, the discussion forums have been amazingly helpful in answering some of my most pressing, embarrassing, ridiculous questions regarding the Milt. Such a vast collection of doodle owners provides a wealth of knowledge for all of us…

This past Saturday, my doodle friends and I, with our respective doods, of course, attended Barktober Fest 2012 at Fort Woof in Fort Worth. As can be imagined with the crisp fall weather (temps in the 50s), the Halloween spirit, and dogs on parade, it was a magical morning! Here is our little party:…

I know you're all thinking, wait, Milton can't possibly be a year old yet! Well, he's not. I turned 27-years-old today!…

Saturday evening we joined some good friends for a BBQ. When we received the initial invite, I asked, "What can we bring besides the Milt?" Somehow I always manage to wheedle the Milt into all of our social activities. Despite the torrential downpour all day Saturday, I thought it was still a good idea to bring him.
Since these are very close friends, they didn't renege on their inclusiveness; however, as soon as we arrived, it was clear that Milt dog was just too wet to remain…
