We are doodle-sitting this week. Mylie arrived about three hours ago. So far, so good. DH took Gavin to see Mylie on Wednesday just to re-aquaint them and get rid of some of the craziness. It worked really well. They got along famously. So good that when DH went to leave he was side tracked talking to my friend’s son and when he got back in the car, he found that Mylie had gone through the…

As you may have read in Nina's blog "Gus Has Been Sprung", Gus is 3(ish) labradoodle boy. Nina and her DD drove to Piedmont, AL to pick him up on Tuesday, and Nina got him vetted, let him have a slumber party with her pack and then got him groomed. Our normal foster drill has Callie at a neighbor's house while I bathe the new foster and try to get him settled in and then trying to keep…

Hi! We got our second doodle off of Craigslist and were wondering if any of his siblings were DK members. Here are the particulars: Born 10/27/08; 5 puppies in litter; owner had golden retriever and his girlfriend had a black standard poodle and OOPS; owner lives in Bremerton/Gig Harbor area of Washington state. I believe Jaxon is the only black puppy of the litter, the rest were apricot. If you think you might own one of his siblings, drop me a line!!!

Can you believe how big Teddy is getting. I'm wondering how big he will wind up? Here at 6 months and 47 lbs.

Kona CGC RE and I had such a Wonderful Weekend. She completed her Rally Excellent Title with a 92 score on Sat. and a 94 out of 100 score on Sun. If the little rascal had done the moving down all the way the first time though, we would have scored 97 on Sunday and placed! We are going to try out Agility next, I signed her up for an intro class to see if she likes it our not. We watched some amazing dogs on Sunday run the…

Yikes. Sheila managed to stash all this stuff on her favorite blanket while I was switching out decorations from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Just one month ago while getting out Haloween decs, all she did was follow me and watch carefully, but never touching anything. Now today, DH and I have found needlepointed ornaments, leaves and other sundry items all over the house. The scary part was I never caught her or saw her. She was the quietest, sneakiest thief I've ever seen. What is happening…

Well, I have finally gotten to the bottom of why I was puppynapped. Dad woke me up very early this morning, 4:30. He said he was leaving. I've come to like him a lot and that made me sad, so I threw myself into the suitcase that Mom was packing for him. She laughed but said "no - I had to stay home". Then Mom got kinda sad too and I heard Dad talking to her.

Dad works very far away from us, he goes to NYC on a big airplane every Sunday or Monday and doesn't get to come back to…

My dad fell about 3 weeks ago and suffered a bleed to his brain. He was doing well and was released from the hospital, but started gettting worse about a week later. He lost a lot of his speech and had numbness in his arm and face. Luckily he has improved greatly, but is now in a nursing home/rehab center for rehabilitation. They allow dogs to visit! :) I would like Hudson to be a therapy dog one day, so it was exciting to be able to take him. He handled everything he encountered (wheel…

Rooney here - just wanted to let you all know that the K9's have not come to break me outta here yet. I remain hopeful but in the meantime I have been having a whole bunch of adventures. Last night "mom" & "dad" gave me my dinner - Orijen just like Breeder did, yum yum. Then mom took me outside to "get busy" several times but I just wasn't ready so I showed her my zoomies, she calls this frapping - what ever. So no poop. And mom wants to go for a bike ride with dad and take me in this…

Hi Doods!

It's Shelby here! I know it has been a long time since I blogged... there is so much to catch you up on! I have to start with the most recent event.... my Birthday - I turned 1! Yesterday was my birthday.... mom kept saying "it's almost your birthday" but I didn't really know what meant. Then yesterday - we woke up and Mom said "Happy Birthday Shelby" and gave me lots of loving!!! We went to the dog park in…

My next door neighbours little lab mix dog died in his sleep last night at the age of 13. My neighbour was driving along a highway near Detroit approx. 13 yrs ago when the people in the car in front of him threw a puppy our the window. Ed swerved to miss the flying object and pulled over to investigate. To his shock it was a puppy!! Ed picked him up and took him to an animal hospital and was told the puppy was barely alive and needed extensive surgery...Ed told them to do whatever…

Bella has been with us for one month now and it's definitely getting better around here! We have gotten the potty training down pretty good, she has gone to the door since about her 2nd week here (12 weeks old). She hasn't had an accident for over a week now, so that's been nice. We have been wiping her with baby wipes after she pees and she will even lift her back leg for us.

She has learned to stay…
