New pictures of our soon to be "Katy"

Since my daughter won't be getting her doodle pup until December 25th my boyfriends parents picked Katy up at the breeder and is keeping her for us until a few days before Christmas. Unfortunatley we will have to settle for pictures until then because she is 3 hours away. We still haven't quite figured out how to keep her quiet early Christmas morning or where exactly we will be keeping her all night Chrstimas Eve but that will be worked out somehow. My daughter is going to freak out (she… Continue

Christmas Jollys

Alert the North Pole! I think all those pictures of cute dogs wearing deer antlers and Santa hats you may receive this year are fake.

In one way, I'm glad to hear this. Seriously, do you really think two dogs that also just happen to be puppies AND labradoodles would actually sit still this long while wearing these on their heads?

On the other hand, I just want to be certain that… Continue

Sometimes, you just have to smile.

I have two recent pet stories that I had to share with everyone!

First, I have learned that no matter how well-trained a dog is, they are still dogs. I spent Thanksgiving at my older brother's house in S. Florida. He is a sheriff's deputy and works K9s for the department. Living with his family are his current K9 partner, Chess, and his retired partner, Daisy. Daisy has done both bite and sniff work her entire life and just retired last year. Literally hundreds of thousands of… Continue

First 2 Days After Lola's Spaying Surgery

So Lola was spayed on Friday, I was a nervous wreck. This was probably the hardest part of the surgery. I asked so many questions, they probably thought I was so picky, especially since I was at a low-cost spaying/neutering clinic. However, the vet tech's put me at ease and answered all of my questions. The questions I came up with from reading all the information on here about other people's experiences. Thank you doodle kisses!

I was extremely worried about the differences between… Continue

Willson's coat changing colors????

Willson is 6 months now and weighs 45 pounds I was just noticing lately that the color of his coat seems to be changing colors to white, but it is only on his back legs does anyone have this going on with their doodles????
And boy oh boy I think this cold is getting to him I always wipe his paws with warm wash cloth but I think today he is tired of that he growled at me, oh well better to make sure the paws are okay then having little clumps of snow in them.

Socialization With People

Raising and training a pup to be people-friendly is the second most important goal of pet-dog husbandry. Of course, teaching bite inhibition is always the most important goal. But during your pup's first month at home, urgency dictates that socialization with people is the prime puppy directive.

As a rule of thumb, your puppy needs to meet at least a hundred people before he is three months old. Since your puppy is still too young to venture out on the streets, you'll need to start… Continue

Home Alone

All owners find it occasionally necessary to leave their puppydog at home alone. So before leaving your puppy for long periods, you should teach him how to amuse himself appropriately when left alone, such as by chewing stuffed chewtoys, and learning how to enjoy his own company without becoming anxious or stressed. A dog is a highly social animal and therefore requires adequate preparation for spending some of his time in social isolation and solitary confinement.

To teach your… Continue

Rosco got around today---and now I have one pooped doodle!

My lazy big boy Rosco got his exercise for the week today!!!

First, a hike with labradoodle puppy Noulli after lunch. Noulli is completely adorable :-) He is really into rocks and managed to carry a rather large one for quite a distance very proud of himself. Maybe Trasa will upload a video (hint, hint, hint!)

Slide show below:

And then we hit the parade downtown. We marched with the local rescue group/dog park group/humane society group float... All of… Continue

Teddy and co.

This is my first blog here and I thought I'd say a bit about our family. Teddy is the newest addition to the gang and he is smply gorgeous!!! He's a 1 1/2 year old chocolate F2 Labradoodle, originally from Tora-Labradoodles here in Scotland. I rehomed him from a family who couldn't keep him anymore and he's just been here a couple of months although it feels like I've always had him! He had quite a drastic haircut when he came, which was smart, but I can't wait for it to grow back. He's already… Continue

8 Months!

Beckett is just about 8 months old now. I can't believe it. He is such an amazing pup. I can't believe how smart goldendoodles are. He has quite his own personality. I'm so happy we have him. He was neutered last week and is on the mend. I think we're spoiling him! (but that's fine by me) I'd love to get another one in the future but I'd have to talk my hubby into it. But I don't think it would take too much. I had to convince him we should get Beckett and now he loves him! I can't believe how… Continue

Lola brought my shoe to me!!

So the other day, I was putting on one of my tennis shoes to take Lola outside. While I was putting one on, Lola brought me my other shoe from the door to where I was sitting and set it down next to my foot. I was so happy, because I did not teach her to do this or anything. Doodles are so smart. The she went about her normal behavior of rubbing up on me and making a whining/howling noise, it is her way of speaking in the mornings, when we are going outside, and when we are going "bye-bye". I… Continue

Medical Pet Shirts

I would like to praise a very useful invention: The medical petshirts!!!

Benny had a castration on Thursday and I was fearing already the collar he had to wear afterwards. Both our cats got a castration too and they really hated the collar.

Actually I do think a collar can cause even more fear and traumatize your pet.

Therefore I am really happy that the doctor gave me choice between a collar and a medical pet shirt when I picked Benny up. Of course the petshirt costs a bit more… Continue

Holiday Greetings

I know this is not a doodle doing this but it is too cute not to share. Someone sent me a link to an entry on youtube.com of a dog romping in the snow. His name is Bailey and the video is titled Merry Christmas from Bailey the Unknown Reindeer. Go to youtube.com and search for Bailey. Check it out, it will make you laugh.

An update on Sophie.. "She can't wait until Monday"

Today marks the day we have had Sophie for four weeks. She has her next follow up appointment on Monday. Hopefully, she will recieve a bill of good health, and freedom from the cone and "rest". She's pretty sick of being lazy. See, after cataract surgery, dogs must "lay low" for a week. No chew toys. No toys at all! No running. No leash around the neck. Minimal public places. We have been instructed to thread the leash under the tummy and around one front leg to maintain control of her while… Continue

DISHONEST DOODLE BREEDER

Beware, beware, beware. I just noticed that Dave Nikkel from Manitoba is still advertising on this site. He is using pictures of a dog(s) that are not his and have in fact stolen them from another breeders site. He stole $300 from me under completely false pretenses. He tried to sell me the dog shown in the photo for his site and after much research I found out this dog does not even exist. It is just a photo he is using to try and fool others (like he fooled me) to take deposits from multiple… Continue

12 weeks

Oliver is growing like a weed! Not much new to report on this week...I can't believe we've had him for 4 weeks already! I have to say he is pretty much reliably potty trained with no accidents in the house for the past 2.5 weeks. He is constantly running to nudge his bells at the door and then goes right to his potty spot! In fact, he's MUCH faster than his "big" sister Chloe when it comes to pottying! hahaha Right now we're working on stay and sitting (and staying) at the door until I tell him… Continue

The Elusive Christmas Card Photo Op

Christmas's past, we have looked with an envy that isn't exactly appropriate to the holiday season, as greetings poured in from far flung friends and family that prominently featured the family pet. This year was to be the year we would document stylishly our first Christmas as proud dog owners. By now I was sure utterly adorable Christmas cards featuring Holly and Meg and Labradoodle Lily would be ready to go. Heartfelt personal notes would have been scribbled in the leisurely hours after… Continue

11 more points...

I admit that I'm only writing this blog post to get the 11 points I need to bump my ranking up from "Socialite" status to "Frequent Doodler". I have a ways to go before I'm labeled a "Hopeless Addict", which is probably a good thing, or I never would have time to do actual money-making work, walk the dogs, be a mom to my human child, or - uhhhh... be a wife too... Talk about getting priorities straight !
