My Little Dood...A Laugh A Minute These Days

I really hope I'm not "overblogging", but Guinness has been going through a really funny stage, and I feel compelled to share with fellow Doodle Nuts. Twice in the past two days Houdini has escaped from his crate while we were out. It's a soft sided crate with a zipper in the front. Both times he was tightly zipped in. Somehow he figured out how to unzip from the inside. It's freakng us out because we can't understand how he does it. The zipper "handles" are on the outside. It's crazy. So,… Continue

The Life Of A Puppy

This morning, I woke up & kissed my dad's head.

I peed on the carpet, then went back to bed.

"The life of a puppy, oh my, this is great."

Then I thought about breakfast," I hope it's not late."

Mom took me outside, we walked for a while.

This never fails to make Mama smile.

I sniffed of everything, that we did pass,

I ate something weird - it gave me gas.

I'm sure God loves me, I know that is true.

He gave me so many great things to… Continue

Green Beans? Are You Kidding? Where's the Beef????

I've been trying to be so conscientious with Guinness's diet lately. He's getting Blue Buffalo chicken which I supplement with home cooking (chicken, a little rice, and some vegies). Last night I gave him some green beans with his dinner. Oh, he was not a happy camper. He kept looking at me like I had lost my mind. I ignored his reaction, and then I noticed he was picking them all out (and they were totally mixed in with the "good stuff"). As he picked each one out he gave me a really dirty,… Continue

Dogs and their "Friends"????

With this week's slideshow on Doodles with their friends I thought this would be cute (although not a Doodle, so not as cute as it could be). "Sometimes when you're angry with someone, it helps to take some time to cool off and think about the problem". LOL

Guinness Is "Staying Back"

Guinness just completed Basic Agility, and he is being "Held Back". No moving on the next level for him. The Trainer was telling all the other Moms to be sure and get their dogs signed up for Intermediate. Then she mentioned to me that Guinness probably needed to redo "Basic". She was really nice, and said "he's just a puppy" and it would really be helpful to him to go through it again. Kind of the same story my Kindergarten Teacher daughter gives parents when she doesn't think the child is… Continue

Do Dogs Really Only Live In The Moment?

I keep reading that dogs only live in the moment, and they really don't remember what's happened in the past. I've often wondered about that. Here's a video of a dog welcoming home his soldier "Dad" from Afghanistan. Certainly appropriate for the day after Veterns Day. Clearly, this dog remembered! This video brought tears to my eyes. Here's the link....

Naughty Boy At Daycare

Guinness goes to Doggie Daycare once a week. He loves it. Now he knows where he is as we pull into the driveway and his whole "bum" shakes (tail wagging like crazy) because he's so excited. When I pick him up they always give me a "report" about how his day went....sort of like when you pick up your kids from daycare. It's pretty funny, but they take it all seriously. Usually I hear things like "he had such a great time and ran and played so well with the other dogs". Not today. I knew from the… Continue
