Well, several days ago I finally, with much self talk and encouragement from DK got up the courage to try giving Tara a scissor cut. What I had not factored in accurately was Tara's tolerance level for being "messed with" and my excruciatingly slow methodology. Bad combo!

So here we are 4 days later. The first day I was able to get the top of her head cut. That was IT! Next day, under ears and down to collar level. Done. Third day I worked down her back about 1/3 of the way…

Many of us are not ashamed to stand up and say" My Name is ________ and I'm a doodle addict, however there are some side effects of being addicted to doodles and DK. Some are good, some not so much. I'll start with the good ones first.

I learn tons of stuff that is necessary to be a good doodle mom

I get to meet and chat with lots of new friends.

I get to share and feel good about all the doodles in need that find their forever families because of DK.

I get lots…

Some of you have heard me say that Peri will tear through every toy imaginable, aside from Zogoflex toys:

I have been meaning to post this - Peri has a new toy obsession....the Planet Dog Orbo w/ Treat Spot:

We put Sojos treats in them and they are hard for her to get out - she…

Not sure if anyone saw this on David Letterman ~ this is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!!

I had a bad dream during the early hours of this morning...

I dreamed that I opened the door, and Koda bolted, he leaped over the wall and plunged 9 storeys to his death! I was histerical, sobbing and begging my DH to rush him to the emergency clinic so that the doctor could fix him up and make him well again :(

I woke up from my dream, sobbing! DH comforted me...

Zooey brought her binky (or rather Koda's new birthday binky toy) up to the bed and…

I have been holding off posting this but then I saw that Coco is showing adopted on Petfinder. And it is true, she has a wonderful forever family that is driving from upstate New York to Atlanta to pick her up. They will be here next week. Coco will have both a doggie sister and brother. She will be able to romp and play with them on 3 acres filled with lots of good smells.



Coco's new family says that their other dogs ration their kisses so they are excited that Coco…

Today is NATIONAL DOG DAY, August 26, 2010

What a week it was! Monday the 16th was bonding day for Tom, Mater and Gus. When I went to work, they went to the park and then played in the yard. Gus sticks close to Tom and Mater admits to being a little jealous. The Humane Society said that Gus wasn't interested in balls, but Tom have found differently! Mater loves to leap high in the air to catch a ball, but Gus loves it even more!…

She is not a doodle but she lives the life of many. This is a wonderful video - thanks Sherri for posting this! Hope you don't mind I copied here for our DK friends to see it.

Great news on Coco's injured knee. She is doing much much better. She is able to put more weight on her leg every day. She is feeling so much better that she jumped up on my bed for the first time since her injury. When I first walked into my room I just noticed a doodle laying on the bed. I really didn't take in which doodle was it was until Harlow pushed her head in my hand for a scratch. That is when I realized it was Coco in the bed. She was so proud of herself and excited that she could…

It was early Sunday the 15th that we got a call for Liz at DRC about a rescue in Terre Haute, about an hour and a half away. I checked with Tom, called her back, and we left within the hour.

We picked up "Butch" at the Terre Haute Humane Society on Sunday. He wiggled and squirreled all over the Jeep on the way home, obviously not accustomed to riding in cars. But at least he didn't get car sick.
