SO ... I had sent some photos of where I live to a few people on DK, which in turn led to my making a little video to try to explain where I was photographing.  And I just remembered, right after we moved her I had posted a blog about our great new dog-friendly living situation.  You may recall we were joking around about moving the DK vacation community here.  At the time I had said I would try to get some photos to give people a better sense of what I was talking about.  Well, here are a…

I don't have two-legged kids so Monty and Auggie are not used to being around fast-moving and loud little people, other than sporadic visits from my DH's grandkids here and there.

My best friend Denisa and her DH Sam came to visit from Slovakia and we got to spend a wonderful week together. They have a 6 year-old first-grader, Scarlett, and she of course came along with them. For weeks before their arrival, little Scarlett was telling her classmates that she is going to stay with two…

We rescued Mitzi, a year old Maltese-Poodle, from a Los Angeles area shelter and noticed that she was having respiratory problems...

We assumed that it was kennel cough, so we isolated her and used a humidifier and began a regimen of antibiotics. Although kennel cough is viral in origin, antibiotics are…

A while ago, I posted my first ever poop blog, and I will be happy to link it here, but basically I am against it or at least against thinking about it.

Tuesday to me is “the” most insignificant day of the week. It seems to get lost between Monday’s madness and “hump-day” Wednesday.

It just sort of slides by, and rarely carries any lingering fond memories with it. Except for this week. This Tuesday was “an extraordinary day!”

The weather – typical November – overcast, little chill in the air but no “biting” breeze. I loved it. It was not hot nor humid, yet you didn’t need a heavy…

Owen had his annual check-up and shots today.  He weighs 57 lbs and is 15 mos. old now.  Vet said he has pretty teeth (big and bright) and all went well.  No issues.  We are all happy.

Saturday Haley, my DH and I went on our annual "Fall Leaf Ride". This was the first long ride for Haley and he did ok with it.

Hurry up! I'm ready to go!

It was a beautiful Fall day. It had rained the night before and everything was fresh and clean. The Fall colors were beautiful.…

I won’t bore you with the details of my camera woes (the best laid plans).

Suffice to say, there was a happy ending:

• the one I had – Nikon no longer carries
• I did however get a full refund
• the one I found I really like
• and it was only a few dollars more.

Now comes the hard part. I need camera lessons – self taught of course!

Lately we’ve been having simply pawgeous…

I'm sure you have missed me very much since my last communiqué, wondering whether I'm still with the crazy human family.  Well, here I am, healthy and happy and just over 12 weeks old.  In fact, I will heretofore be known as Super Truffle. I am a canine superhero in my own mind.  Kind of like Underdog (remember him?), but even better.

While I haven't yet had an opportunity to prove my true superhero bona fides by rescuing another animal or anyone in…

My six year old Goldendoodle has just been diagnosed with Lymphoma. We are going to administer a series of Chemotherapy injections which hopefully will extend hwe life. Like most of you with a Doodle thay become a huge part of your life and this news is very upsetting. I am wondering if anybody has had a Doodle with this disease and how he/she has responded to this form of treatment.

Thank you for any insight that you might…

Congratulations!!!!  to all those whose Doodles made the calendars and for those of you like myself whose photo did not make it, there is always next year and I learned from this experience what not to do so all was not lost.....whether you made it or not, every Doodle is a Winner!!!  Adina, really appreciate all your hard work and cannot wait to get the calendars and such a good cause...Doodles Rock!!!!

Hi, everyone.  Happy to be a part of this forum for doodle owners and fans.  We brought home our first family dog about three weeks ago.  His name is Truffle and he's brought much laughter (and some tears) to our brood since our arrival.  

I have a blog - www.pinkmenot.com -  that's mostly about my 8- and 12-year old daughters, but now that Truffle has joined the family, he sometimes takes it over to add his two…

I can hardly believe it, but my dear Shelby is 4 years old today!   My... how my life has changed since she has become a part of it.  She has taught me so many things and brought a smile to my face every day.  She is such a sweet girl and such a loving furry companion.   Here's to the birthday girl Shelby and all the other doodles out there who add such joy and happiness to our lives!   (This photo was taken during an early morning game of indoor fetch - it was raining... so no walk this…

I am working on my cruise blog, but meanwhile I have to talk about a member I met right before our ship sailed on the high seas.  A couple of months ago, Becka (and Sadie) wrote me that she was going to stalk me in Florida if I did not take time to meet her while we were there.  Well, I…

Although Halloween never seems to negatively impact these two…

My “official” door greeters

It has been known to stress and scare the “doodle” out of some pets. So The Boys and I wanted to list just a few Halloween safety tips for your pets:

Beware of chocolate candies, they can be very…

Some of you may already know that Charlie has been a very reactive girl ever since she was a little puppy. We had gone through years of obedience training with her but she continue to be very fearful and reactive towards anyone, anything and any dogs she does not know what or who it is.

She had an injury in the beginning of the summer, and I began taking her to this holistic vet about an hour away for this injury. The doctor was wonderful, and we began discussing about her…

Last night was a long one.  The dogs kept barking at something outside.  I love Fall except for one thing.  It seems those animals that hibernate or remember that long winters can be hard are out in full force and scurrying all about to make sure their stockpiles are adequate for the winter.…

Characters from the movie Toy Story, Captain America, A Race Doodle – (complete with saddle and jockey), just to name a few, joined Thing One & Thing Two for a good ole fashion Howl-o-ween Dog Party at Olde Towne Pet Resort.

It was a pawgeous Autumn Sunday afternoon – pawfect to spend with “anipals and furrends.”Harley and Leo were the first to arrive, and they waited patiently for their…
