I have been waiting anxiously for the pumpkin season to resume due to the shortages we all felt last year. I guess I have never been so aware of pumpkin in the stores as I have over this past year. It always seemed readily available whenever I needed it for the holidays, and otherwise,I never gave it any thought.

I don't even know if pumpkin is carried in the stores year round! Never noticed! So with the shortage of 2010 fresh in my mind, and the memories of going store to…

Happy Thinksgiving Everybody...

I have so much to be thankful for that I cannot even begin to make a list of those things of which I am thankful. Good health, a terrific wife, a great family, fine friends and a wonderful relationship with our Goldendoodle Holly and the Maltese we own and those that we have been fortunate to have the ability to rescue.

I don't just think of what I am thankful for on Thanksgiving Day; I am always, during the other 364 days of the…

Hey Doodles, Allie here. I don't know if you have ever heard this but my mommy says to always go to the slot machine that is close to a door. That is where you can hit a "jackpot" whatever that is but I think I have an idea. Today there are going to be many wonderful smells. I mean almost too much for a doodle to handle. Pumpkin, turkey, stuffing......what is a dood to do?!?!?!?!

The plan......as everyone comes in today be sure to sniff them out. The really smelly ones are…

I've had a very busy few days. Christopher has been home and we've been to all sorts of places, I think I'm a little bit tired. Well, maybe just 1/2 hour dog nap!

Dad was home today and he had to put a new pump in the pond in the garden, it was great fun helping him clear the pond weed out, the exercise does him good, so I make sure that he chases me round the garden trying to get the pond weed from me ...... For some reason he thinks I might eat it, no, I just like him to chase…

and look at the First Snow. I’m not too thrilled about this. It’s cold out there, and with the door open, it gets cold in here. Trav is acting like the snow is some dangerous white beast that appeared overnight and laid down all over his territory. He wants to look at it without having to walk on its back. He did venture out for a quick pee, but hurried back inside, whirling around at the door to make sure it wasn’t following him. It’s going to be a long day.

Hi Doods.... Shelby here! It has been a crazy couple of weeks at my house and thus - I haven't been able to blog in a LONG time. On Tuesday the 9th.... my mom got up super early - I think the clock said 4:45am - she got in the shower, gave me some loving - lots of loving - and told me that she was having surgery and that I would have to be gentle and careful around her for a while. I didn't quite know what she meant she had been saying this for days now, but I listened - gave her love back…

Cash came to us after a long weekend of…

Rooney and I have a 6:00 a.m. flight tomorrow, ouch. I will get up at 3:00 as will dh whose job it will be to wear him out so that he will want to sleep while cramed under the seat in front of me. Luckily for us we got an upgrade to first class so Mommy will have free Bloody Marys and Roony's dog carrier will have a bit more room. Sadly, first class only lasts till Atlanta where we have an hour and 40 minute lay over and then onto a small plane to South Bend. I plan to limit his water before…
