Remy's First 5 days

Well, we've made it though the first 5 days with a rescue dood! He's AWESOME!!! I can't believe how far he's come in such a short time. We adopted Remy last Saturday and have seem him change so much. He's become the adorable, loving puppy I was hoping for when I got this "bright idea" to become a new mom again. We've been very lucky, from some of the reading I've done. He's 5 months old and ALL legs! He tries to play chase with our beagle, but seems to always run her over! Housebreaking seems… Continue

Doodle Nose hair!

Yankee has the most perfect hair on his nose. It fans out just right. I love the way it looks.

I am wondering if all doodle noses are like this or just some of them. Here is a picture so you can see what I mean.

What A Year!

This Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of the day that Yoda joined our family! Exactly a year ago we went to see two doodle brothers at the SPCA and were told that they both had a ton of applications and we would never get either one. Well who would have thought that putting in an application "just in case" would have been the best decision we could have made! He is the most loving, sweetest, funniest dog we could have ever asked for! This… Continue

More vet bills.

These dogs are going to put my vet in a porsche pretty soon.

Today after our walk, I noticed blood on the floor. Off to examine both dogs and found Yankee had a bloody foot. His pad was cut as well as the skin beside it. Not sure how he did it and he wasn't limping. So off to the vet where they glued his pad and bandaged his foot. They wanted him to wear a cone and I said NO WAY. He was miserable the last and only time he wore one. They were concerned about him chewing at it but I… Continue

Lady Peri Update

Lady Peri is doing so well...she graduated from puppy obedience on Saturday! We are going to start the next level of training with her: "Basic Family Manners", where she will get better about walking through a group of people, not jumping, etc... I do think we will take her on to Canine Good Citizen level of certification once she gets older. She yearns to learn! LOL

I won't bore you with a long blog, but I do want to put some snippets about… Continue

Teaching A Water Dog To Swim

It's always amusing when someone comments on how I have to give my water dog swimming lessons.

Yeah, it's supposed to come naturally, but Murphy's never seen water. Before this summer, he'd never been in water. I asked the breeder, back when I first got him, and she said by the time he was old enough to swim, it was already too cold to put him in the pool. Before I knew about the river at this particular park, Murphy enjoyed the hose. It was water, but it wasn't something he… Continue

Is it September allready???

I have been amiss in not tagging Holly's photos for possible calendar selection. However, I tagged several this morning with the tags: Holly, calendar. I hope that I am not too late.

My Vinny loves to swim!

Just got back from a great playdate w/ our neighbors goldendoodle. They went for a nice
long walk and played in the park. When we got home they jumped in her pool! Vinny was
doing laps in circles in the pool! He absolutely loves it :) What a nice way to start off our day!

25 years old... and over the hill!

Well, first of all... thank you everyone for the wonderful Birthday wishes... it was so nice to get them all this morning. Age does not matter to me in the least... but for some reason I'm feeling quite old. Not really sure why. It seems like every birthday since age 22 has been a hard one for me. I know its pathetic! LOL!

This year was a pretty good one. On Saturday Dan took me to the gambling boats down in Southern Indiana. I had been wanting to go there for a while, but we had… Continue

Best Big Sister

I am so proud of Abby! She is such a great big sister to Kaela! The minute Abby met Kaela she was happy, friendly and playful. She is so warm and gentle to Kaela. She loves to play wrestle, roll, chase, tug, and run with Kaela and is always entertaining the pup. Yet she is so soft and gentle to her, as well. She is happy to let Kaela have the first drink. If Kaela wants something Abby has, Abby is kind to her and lets her have it. When Kaela is doing something funny (such as growling at the… Continue

Rosco just scared the carp out of me!

We had just finished up a walk and were entering our yard when Rosco attempted to run after something (in the yard). I let the leash go so as not to get pulled on, figuring it was a squirrel. It was pretty dark in the yard, but the squirrel morphed into a cat. Frightened me a little, but assumed the cat would be quick enough to get away ... this 'cat' was was not that quick...just barely staying ahead of him...I started yelling after Rosco "NO" but he was deaf. Didn't attempt any other command… Continue

I have a bunny slayer on my hands................

Over the last several days, Lucy has been obsessed with trying to get under my living room deck. We have lattace around the bottom of it and tonight she broke a piece of it down, got under there and found a nest of baby bunnies. She ATE one of them !!!!!!! I am soooooooo upset with her. We have had these 3 rabbits running around in our yard and evidently one of them had babies under the deck. Now, all she wants to do is go outside, and I know what she is going to do, try and get under there… Continue

popular dood

So here we are in Quebec City, Quebec for my son's baseball. Canada's East Coast Championships. We are mixing ball with tourism as well.

We decided to fly from Ontario instead of the 11 hour drive. So we looked into it and it was cheaper to flly Neely with us than board him and we wouldn't have to worry about the older boys looking after him or him chewing anything. They can handle the old girl just fine, she's done her chewing days. He had a good time at the airport before being crated.… Continue

Swapping out Baby Gates...

We use to have the less expensive baby gates, the kind you have to take down or step over if you wanted to go from one room to another. Then DH tripped over one, fell and broke his shoulder. After most of a Saturday in the emergency room, 2 visits to the orthopedic surgeon and a CT scan those gates have turned out to be more expensive than the original purchase price! We are now in the process of replacing them with the walk through type.…

Seizure

This is going to be a long and rambling (not to mention misspelled and grammatically incorrect) blog, so please bear with me! This morning I had one of the most frightening experiences of my life!

Around 7:30 a.m. my DH John went out the back door to put the garbage out and my doodle Blaze followed him into the backyard as usual. I looked out the door to check on Blaze and noticed he was wandering around the yard, eating grass (not unusual for him.) I went back into the kitchen to do… Continue
