As many of you remember from here, I made a book for my nephew that had photos of him and Darwin doing things together. Well, photos edited to make it look like they were doing things together. :-) Anyways, I gave it to him over Thanksgiving and he loved it. Here are some photos my sister sent me of him reading the book after they got home. Also, the front and back cover. I had a hard time choosing the page and cover…

It is so funny...I love my Doodles they are very much a part of our family. My husband thinks I'm a little crazy but that's ok because what comes around goes around. I told him I was going to tell my DK family about what he did to me tonight soooo here it goes......A little history first though just because when I get to the point of this story you will understand what I mean by my husband is turning into a Doodle addict. Last year I signed up and did the Doodle x-mas card exchange and it…

It’s only been two days, but I can’t find any fleas on Traveler or on my socks after the ‘white sock test.’ This is the first time in several months that I haven’t been able to find a single flea, and I’ve tried Frontline Plus, Advantix, Nature’s Guardian, flea powder and comb and a flea bath. Some of these have definitely lowered the flea population, but that’s the best result I could get. I could always find a few fleas.

This time I used Comfortis (a beef-flavored tablet)…

It is sooo hard to believe that today my little Bandy Bear turns 1 year old!! Our pack was not complete until he joined our family. Rosey and Bandit are the first dogs I have ever had as my own and they are the loves of my life. Even more special is that Bandit and Rosey have been the best of friends since day one and has only continued to grow stronger. Bandit is a true momma’s boy, a little cuddle bug, a squeaker toy lover, a food fanatic and he

loves his sissy so…

Four years ago DH and I felt as if our hearts shattered when we lost our 18 year old cat and 15 year old dog on the same day. We still had our current cat Amber at the time but I think we both silently vowed never to let another dog into our hearts again. It was too painful to lose them. But as the years past I found that I was stuck somewhere in the grieving process. In a 2 year span we had lost 3 of our parents, 3 of our animal companions and a favorite Uncle. We didn't have time to grieve…

Well, we had lots of the white stuff and you were all right, zoomies are great fun!!! My mum thought I was really funny chasing round and round and rolling about, she said I looked like a snow dog and it was a good job I'm black otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see me!! The white stuff was really deep and it tickled my tummy when I was running about. When we went to the park, there was lots of us playing about and jumping like "spring lambs". Great, great fun. Mum had to pick all…

Eli came to our home yesterday and I swear he is the sweetest Doodle ever! Just a bundle of Doodle love. Gave him bath,he was so good,cleaned his wounds, shaved his wounds,cleaned his ears. He just let me do what I wanted.

He has some training,sit, down,he knows what a leash is. Last night be bought his leash to Brian to take him out! For me he goes to the door and whimpers. I did not walk he and Jordan together today they both went…

Angelina, one of the female Maltese we fostered from the horrible puppy mill in Oregon had been adopted several months ago. She and her buddy, another rescue Maltese (not our rescue) named Rocco, came to stay with us for a week while their mom was out of town on business...

Both Angelina and, especially Rocco, thoroughly enjoyed playing with Holly and she enjoyed them. Rocco is a very energetic and playful dog while Angelina is more sedate. Rocco would roam our yard following…
