Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty's Blog – December 2011 Archive (7)

So much for "Luxury Apartments". I'm not feeling the luxury right now.

Last night, all was calm, finally. I was in the middle of reading Laurie's most recent blog post, Sophie was puttering around the kitchen, Winston quietly chewing on a toy, Puddles, the dog I'm sitting, just hanging out, tuckered out from wrestling with Sophie.

All of a sudden, out of the blue, Winston jumps up, lets out a loud howel and starts running around in circles in an absolute frantic…

Every year at this time I like to make a little list of things I want to accomplish in the year ahead. I think of them more as goals than resolutions. Some I achieve, some I don't, which is ok. At least I feel like I have some direction. My list consists of everything from the frivolous and mundane to the extraordinary or life alternating. Sometimes I carry things over from the year before, other times I reflect on how my priorities have changed and head in an entirely new direction. The…

Hi Everyone! Sophie Bear here.

This morning mom sang me a new song that I had never heard her sing before; just when I thought I'd heard it all. It was something like "Hoppy Birthday to you..." I don't know what that means but mom says I'm a big girl now - one year old! I sure have come a long way since I was just a baby puppy, burrying my face in mom's winter boot. Here's a collage of my puppy photos. Wasn't I adorable?…

Just a quick blog to say I finally got home last night and OMD what a reunion! As soon as the taxi dropped me off I bolted up the stairs and down the hall to my apartment where both of the dogs were with one of the sitters (and her doodle was there too). Well I burst through the door yelling "DOOOOOOOOODDDDDLLLLEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". There was a brief moment of surprise and then all heck broke loose.

Winston was so happy and excited he couldn't contain himself and…

Hi, I'm Sherri, and I'm a doodleholic. It's been 5 days since my last doodle kiss.

It all started a year ago. I had always enjoyed spending time with dogs as a recreational activity. But then I met a doodle and everything changed. He was so sweet and loveable at first, goofy, fun loving, happy, sloppy, shaggy, and loveable. Did I mention loveable? How could I not get drawn in? His name was Kaz, and I started to spend more and more time with him. His owners warned me about the…

A little over a year ago I had abandoned my hopes for a high flying jet-setting career, having discovered that I am much more comfortable at home, and so decided to nest a little, by taking in some furry babies. Well, wouldn't you know that this is when my career starts to pick up?

I am being sent off to Halifax, Nova Scotia, for a week of training and there are a few more trips in the new year being planned to much more exotic and far away places. After my last ordeal of being sent…

Winston has been my #1 guy for two months now. It did not take Winston long to settle in and start showing me his real personality. You all know that I love every little bit of him, and it seems, each day I love him a little more ...

BUT, you can't look at that mischievous face and not admit that Winston has some serious character flaws ...

Mainly, he is…
