Jeff and I finally bit the bullet, and we bought a YARD for the Milt!  Ok, we bought a house...!  As the post title alludes, why is it a gingerbread house?  Well, take a look for yourself.…

Having you tell us which photos of the boys were your favorite was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long, long time.

If it were up to me, I would have missed the holiday deadline, still contemplating on which photo to choose and whether or not it was appropriate to send Valentine’s Day cards…

So I checked my page today and noticed that I am A Hopeless Doodle Addict at last! I have been on DK for more than two years now, but am more of a comment person than a blog person, not like Laurie some people. I was so excited to see that I finally have the honor of being HDA.  All kidding aside this place has been a source of knowledge thanks to some wonderful people. A source of comfort when going through hard times. And last but not…

As of last Wednesday, Milton is officially neutered, and what an ordeal it was.  After our poor experience with the SPCA (who never returned my phone call!), we decided to go to our routine veterinarian who we know and trust.  This is probably what we should have done in the first place instead of trying to cut costs.  Oh well, you live and you learn!  We won't make the same mistake with our next pup.



Milton was dropped off bright and early, to welcoming arms, at the vet's office,…

I have two OLDER sisters.  They love to travel.  I have two dogs and my sisters have none and I often wonder if therein lies the difference between our adventurous spirits.  I am perfectly content to stay home with my dogs and have no real desire to see the Seven Wonders of the World. Based on the definition of wonder in the dictionary, One that arouses awe, astonishment, surprise, or admiration; a marvel…The emotion aroused by something awe-inspiring, astounding, or marvelous…An event…

While it usually takes me much longer then the average millennial, I do eventually cave and try out the social media sites everyone is talking about. At first I didn't get the whole "Instagram" thing (you mean it's just for posting pictures??) But recently I've been having a blast posting photos with little effects to make them edgy. And m to make matters worse, I was introduced to #labradoodlesofinstagram. It's so much fun flicking through the doodle pics'

Milton and I recently made a grand discovery of a small local dog park only 1/2 mile walk, 10 minutes away from our apartment.  The "park" is actually a unique situation because it is a vacant corner lot that is owned by the house next door, and to prevent development, the home owners have generously allowed four-legged pals to run free there.  The park has a wonderful community feel as tennis balls, chairs, and water dishes are left outside, visitors drag the trash to the curb, and the…

A few months ago through doodle daughter’s connections (translation: idle chit chat while at work!), she learned about Bark Box! Since then, (it’s been about 9 weeks now) I am able to elect “not to” enter into a pet store dragging one doodle, while the other drags me – in search of a new toy.

Not sure what happens at your house, but toys are subject to much torture over here and they eventually wind up in the trash can. I just can’t seem to catch the rhythm of two dogs in a…

My dog, Husker and I were one of the winners for purchasing a 2013 Doodles' calendar.  We picked the goody box from PetFlow with surprise treats and items for Husker.  It arrived last week with all kinds of treats, shampoo, and toys that Husker loves!  

Thank-you Doodle Kisses.com!
