I will keep adding useful like for photography and post processing as I run across them . . .

This is a really good article/tutorial on shutter speed.…

It has been a little over two years since I flew from California to Texas in order to bring home a little seven pound, seven week old, Goldendoodle that we named Holly because she had been born on Christmas Day. We could not be happier with this darling tall girl who now weighs 65 pounds and is a beautiful buff color.

Holly attracts attention everywhere we go and whenever we take her to visit someone, they always remark how smart and well trained she is. She began attracting…

Nearly a year later, I found the magic recipe for completely wearing Callie out!

6 hour trial day at a new doggie day care

4 mile walk (with lots of new dogs to meet and grass to sniff)

30 minutes of throwing the tennis ball down the stairs (sorry neighbors!)

Do the steps above in rapid succession. Let doodle get a good night's sleep. Follow up with a 30 minute morning walk and a 2 hour trip to the dog park. You should end up with a well-done dood…

Sheila and I got home late Thurs. night from Maine. She was such a trooper and what a little doll. We had a twelve hour trip home, and I got Sheila out of her carrier whenever possible. I know you won't believe this, NO ACCIDENTS on the way home (now that we're HOME I can't make that brag-oy)! Maine was gorgeous, warmer than the Midwest. Patty Barnes' operation is something else!! I'll post a couple of pics on my page. The guest quarters was awesome, really like a Maine cabin with kitchen,…

Gus' best friend Gracie, my dog sitters dog is clinging to life right now. It's been a rough week. Please read this attachment it could save your dogs life. The one thing I thought was interesting is the bright neon green poop! I honestly wouldn't think a thing about it "oh Gus what did you eat this time?" For us doodle owners let's rethink this. We all know that there are unknowen things in our Doods…

Bruce,

Tonight I tried to email this to all the Sups. But there was a problem with that. The following is what I want to say, please forward to all.…

Just heared on the news tonight "ALL PET STORES ARE BANNED FROM SELLING KITTENS AND DOGS" in hopes to stop kitty and puppy mills. Shelter dogs and kittens can still be displayed, NO MORE sales! I started thinking about this and with everyone here on DoodleKisses if we all went to every Town Hall meeting and expressed how we feel about Pet Stores selling dogs and kittens maybe we could pull this off in our town. I can honestly say "I hate Town Hall meetings!"…

As earlier posted we did get thru the first night with no problems, a little soft but formed stool, but during the next 72 hours we have had vomiting and diarrhea both. The diarrhea started the next day, feb 18th, which was thurs and the vomiting started Sat. night and again a few hours ago. He is going to the vet in the am, is otherwise looking and acting normal. There is no obvious blood in the stool but it is mucousy. Poor baby. Not sure if it's from the meat, or he contacted…

Finally had a chance to weigh Samson yesterday.....holy smokes, he's 73 pounds!!! I can't believe it. He is 8 1/2 months old. I did not realize he gained that much because I have no notice of him getting bigger!!!

He is a beauty though!!!

I have done a really bad thing. I trimmed Neely's Man area. He has not left it alone since. He has it black and blue and soaking wet. We have put a diaper on him and the tip of his doodle do do sticks out enough to get at it. We have tried putting Lanacane anti itch cream on it. Apparently that tastes great! He has a thing for lotions to begin with. He loves to lick it off while your lathering up your feet! So we tried sprinkling it with gold bonds power. That just makes a sticky white paste…

I need to blog a little....

I've said it before...I will say it again - the Food Group is such an informative group on DK - may be the best in my opinion. If we had it before 2007, wouldn't it have saved quite a few of us from a lot of grief?

My Taquito (aka Tacky) lived through those terrible food recalls, but now has kidney problems at age 6 (due to chicken jerky recalls - sick for 2 months - almost died). Too young for that. I did feed high quality food…
