Huff turned 2 on June 30th. He is a big boy now. He is my big boy:) I didn't get a chance to post this earlier because I have been really busy lately and being out of school, I hardly ever use the computer. Anyways, we had a little party with balloons, doggy cake, party favors (tennis balls), doggy cookies, and doggy cupcakes. He got two presents, a tennis ball and a kong air fetch stick (it squeaks). His favorite one is the regular tennis ball. He just loves to hold and squeeze tennis balls…

This morning Murphy and I went on our first local nursing home visit. The founder of our St. Tammany Love on a Leash group emailed me yesterday and asked if we could join her and her Great Dane. It was a good visit and great day...well except for the lady with the tennis balls on her walker. Thank goodness she was such a dog person. She knew exactly what Murphy was doing.

Sandy said that one of the local stations contacted her and want to do a story on the group. This is the summer…

Have a safe and happy holiday!!!!

I must be doing something wrong in raising such an uninhibited Princess as I know my prudish English grandmother must be rolling over in her grave to see such wanton behavior in a young lady.  However, this pose just makes me giggle everytime I see her in it. She sleeps on her bed right by me at night and I will look over in the middle of the night and see this and have to stiffle a laugh. I always just have to get up and rub her belly.  I always ask her is she is comfortable, and she just…

It seems like Riley has been a part of our family forever.  It's not even two weeks but in that time our lives have been turned upside in a wonderful way.  Our children want to visit and friends we haven't seen in ages are arriving on a daily basis and a new dimension has been added to our lives.  As you know I have prepared well for Riley.

During the week a young person posted that she had taken on too much when she got her puppy.  The discussion was written after  only after one day…

My wife's niece and her husband along with their two kids are going to visit us for a couple of day's in July.  The two kids are great, they have visited us before and have learned to love our dogs.  However, the niece and her hubby do not like dogs and think that they are dirty. 

Rather than have any arguments I am posting a framed copy of this in full view.

I thought SophieBear loved her knew dog walker, at least I do. She uses biodegradable poop bags and makes home made doggie treats. She loves walking Sophie Bear and always comments on how well behaved she is on her walks.

Well, now I'm not so sure. I received my June bill yesterday and SophieBear was quick to let me know what she thought about it.

It looks great ~ thank you!!!!!

Happy Canada Day, have a safe and happy holiday!

We started construction on our pool this morning, and I have to admit, I am as excited for the doodles as I am for my grandchildren to begin enjoying it this summer. Okay, maybe the doodles were why I originally thought of adding a pool in the first place, it is so hot here in the summer that it is just torture sending them outside for anymore than a quick potty break and they need exercise!   But DH wasn't having any of that logic. So with one grandson here and one on the way, it makes…

Recently, my mom came to stay for a week and took up residence in our spare bedroom.  Vern and Fudge love their “grandma”. The only problem we seem to have when she is here is that Vern and my mom fight for the same chair in the living room. I have tried telling my 85-year-old mom that it is Vern’s chair, but she just said, “Old trumps dog,” and sat right down.  There she stayed drinking her coffee and reading her book without a care in the world, as Vern circled the chair like a…

The Canine Calm (similar to the Travel Calm in Nancie & Gracie Doodle's blog Anxiety and Car Sickness") that I ordered came last week.  Haley had his first chance to try it out on his thunderstorm anxiety yesterday. We had thunderstorms all around us in the afternoon and evenng.  I applied the Canine Calm and it seemd to help him quite a bit.  The only time he had a reaction to the thunder (except for lifting his head up off the floor or his pillow) was when one clap of thunder occurred…

Life has been crazy lately.  Callie the foster doodle is such a sweetheart and it's been fun watching her develop.  Clover and Callie play, play and play some more.  My yard is going to need a little more grass seed.  These two have made a race track around the pool, across the deck, to the otherside of the house and down the fence line to the pool.  Who needs Calgon when you can watch a Doodle Race.  It warms my heart and puts a smile on my face no matter what kind of day I'm…

We have had Lily for 2 weeks now and she is doing great. One thing I forgot about in the almost 3 yrs we have had Hudson, is that toilet paper on the roll is the most facinating toy. What fun it is to grab and run with it trailing behind you! I'll have to remember to keep the bathroom door shut or the toilet paper off of the holder and up higher. Hudson is playing well with Lily now and it is fun to watch. Having a puppy with an older dog is a bit easier because Hudson helps out. Lily is a…
