Hi Everyone!

Mommy and Daddy have been all week and they have wore me and my sister, Kahlua out!  With the holidays, visitors and mom insisting that we don't miss anything while she is at home, we haven't been able to take our nap.  We can't wait for everytyhing to get back to normal and we can resume daily naps.  Happy New Year Everyone!

Hi Doods,

Shelby here!  I know it has been far too long since I blogged, but I just had to log on today and blog because today is a very special day.... it's my doodleversary - meaning it's been 2 years since the day my mom brought me home to OUR home!   It's been an amazing 2 years and I look forward to so many more.  When mom woke up - she remembered our special day right away and I got lots of loving!  We started today with a nice long walk at with two of my doggie friends.... and…

The puppies are four weeks old now and it is hard not to sit an watch them constantly.  It is amazing to hold a little baby in my hand and  look at his full sister, who is 14 months old, and realize that he will grow into this funny, sweet, smart, long haired boisterous dog, in less than a year. Their physical development just fascinates me.  Being a developmental therapist for 32 years, I've done tons of research on developmental stages of puppies during the fist 8 weeks and beyond.…

Puppy, work and life in general have kept me away for awhile.  It's hard to believe that we are in the midst of the holidays and that Zoey is almost 7 months old!  She is still just a little over 20#s, so I am beginning to question how big she is ultimately going to get.  She's not a big eater, so maybe that is part of why she is still so small, but I am kind of enjoying it and thinking that if she doesn't get too much bigger, that won't be such a bad thing...she is just a little too big to…

Ssh, this is me, Harley –

Our mom is resting after all the holiday preparations – so I thought I would send out the Christmas blog and let her relax.

This is my third Christmas here and like before – it was so much fun. I don’t quite understand the concept, and it was difficult to explain to Leo why; trees from outside – come inside, but we can’t pee on them; boxes and bags are placed…

Two years ago on December 26th we picked up our little Daisy, we have come a very long way. Can't imagine life without her.

This is the day we brought her home 12-26 2009 and this is today 2 years later

Love you Daisy…

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?…

Fudge turns three on Christmas Day and I can’t believe how quickly the time flew by since we got our first Doodle!!  We can’t imagine our life without our sweet Fudge in it and we are so lucky she found our way to our home.  All it took was one picture on the Internet and I knew that chocolate girl was headed our way. 

My youngest daughter and I drove 600 miles…

WOW!  How is it possible that Banjo is just 2 years old.....it seems  like he's been a part of our family forever!  I don't think a day passes where either DH or I don't comment about what a wonderful dog he is and how lucky we are to have him in our life.   Banjo - You are the BEST!   

 About 15 years ago I was really struggling with my diagnoses, my life and how hard things were for me. I am a believer in God... and I would pray, and ask God why if He could , would He not removed the perceived great amount of suffering I felt like I was enduring. I felt like I was a nice person... I didn't get it..

I started dreaming about butterflies.. every night when I went to bed. I would pray and ask God to take this from me because I didn't want to deal with this…

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.

I will be baking, cooking, cleaning, wrapping, taking pictures, and all and all to busy to check DK over the next few days, as well as the rest of you I am sure. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your human and furry families. And that all your brightest wishes find a way to come true....

Yesterday, I picked my mom up from the airport and she is back to spend the holidays with us.  Last week, I came down with some kind of head cold and I am still battling this bug this week.  My daughter and son-in-law arrive on Friday and I do not have time to be sick.  I have been talking to a couple of my female friends and it seems I am not alone when I say I think Santa is really a tired, overworked at the Holidays, superwoman.  I may be oversimplifying, but I think it is the women of…

My little Duncan is 3 today! He may have been a purchase from a breeder but i still consider him a rescue story. HE RESCUED ME!!!! He's brought me all the love and affection that I was seeking...and then some! AND he's my entertainment. He makes me laugh constantly each and every day with his silly antics and doodle-isms.

I let him share my scrambled eggs this morning. And of course we'll head to the park later so he can chase squirrels.

It's his day! Of course every…

Happy Holidays to all of our DK friends, from Camilla and Darwin. have a fun holiday with your friends, family, and of course, doodles!

Gio is now called DJ (short for Don Giovanni??) by the Italians he is living with and he is really representing Labradoodles in a big way. Most of the people he is meeting have never seen  labradoodle, so the fact that he is so darn cute and smart is doing great things for the breed's reputation. I have some pics to share with everyone. My breeder is still there and is posting some on facebook for me. (her email is not working!) 

This is DJ with the local people and the woman…

Harleo's Adventures

With the blog in full swing now, I find myself watching the “boys” much more closely. I then “jot” down notes to research later – out of curiosity more than anything else. Sometimes what I find is actually “blog worthy”, and I want to share it with you. The other day I watched my…

My DH just went to the front door to bring in the morning paper and was greeted by our favorite Muscovy Duck.  She was standing right on our front porch, thought for a minute she would try to fly inside the house to get her daily snack of bread.   She has been coming to our yard for a while now, and is beginning to feel like a member of the family.  Just standing there, waiting and watching, its like we have a "guard duck"!
