Summer Lovin'!

When Jeff and I were looking for a house, I was very adamant that I wanted a pool.  I grew up on a lake, swimming whenever it was hot, and now living in a state where temperatures peak in the low 100s, I was emphatic that a pool was a necessity.  There were an awful lot of naysayers who said that a swimming pool would be full of maintenance, too costly, and a detriment when we finally want to sell and move on.  I tuned out all the Negative Nellies and kept on…

I do come on to read peoples discussions and blogs, and occasionally post in response, but truth is I have been so busy - working full time, and doing renovations on the house (we bought a house in january) (and I start another school course next month so have been "refreshing" my knowledge…

HARLEY’S ACHILLES HEEL…

Do you have one? I can’t think of anyone who hasn’t used the popular phrase “Achilles Heel” at least once in a conversation. Here’s my personal all time favorite: “I’m trying to lose weight but french fries are my achilles heel.”

The actual definition for this phrase means “weakness – in spite of overall strength, that can potentially lead to a downfall.”

Today I wanted to tell you that even Harley – one of the “baddest” doodles alive, has an…

Happy Birthday sweet boy

It's Riley's second birthday today and I don't know where the time has gone. He has brought so much love and joy. A brilliant dimension to our lives. He is happily enjoying a frozen stuffed kong with sweet potato, yoghurt and blueberries. (Boris has one too of course!)

Update on Bella's cancer battle

It's been awhile since I've posted. We have been trying to enjoy each day to the fullest, as we know they are numbered. Bella's nodes are still enlarged despite changing drug protocols. They have actually gotten larger (in her neck) and this "doodle mum" is very scared. I am waiting to speak to the oncologist to decide what, if any, steps we can take next. The decision of more, possibly harsher drugs vs. quality of life over quantity is always very difficult. I guess I just ask for (and greatly… Continue

Shearing a Big 'Ole Sheep (Goldendoodle!)

Jeff just couldn't take it anymore.  The boy we love more than anything was looking a little too much like a mop to him.  Jeff thought all that fur was weighing him down much too much, and to quote him, "Milt was looking like a 'saggy pants' everytime he went to go catch the ball; it was like his britches were about to fall down."  So, that was that - a haircut was decided upon. 



Thankfully, I managed to hold Jeff off…

If I keep still & quiet maybe I can stay....

Tonight, Holmes (14 weeks old) tried to hide out in my bathroom :)

This morning my allergy medicine knocked me out and I took a nap in my bedroom while Holmes took a nap in my bathroom. He's never napped in there w/out me before and I guess he enjoyed it. So tonight, after going potty, he runs straight into my dark room instead of going into his…

Puppy Photo of the Week

Recall the famous idiom - "When the cat's away, the mice will play."  In my situation, that translates to, "When Jeff's at yet another bachelor party in New Orleans, Momma lets Milton get away with things."…

Something is living under my deck!

No, this is not like the crazy time I thought I had a mouse. This is for real. It seems creatures love to live under my deck. Last summer I had a skunk,, twice. Once in the front and once in the back. I thought I had effectively dealt with it. Well it looks like there is something new calling my back deck a home. It is not likely a skunk because it would have sprayed by now... just like the other two last summer. My friend saw it slip under the deck the other day. She said it looked brown…

BREAKING A SWEAT FOR A HOMELESS PET

As our local weather continues to improve, The Boys social calendar seems to have more events on it than mine! Sunday we joined metro run & walk and our dear “furr-ends” from Olde Towne Pet Resort for a charity walk / run at Burke Lake Park to raise $$ for the Fairfax County…

A Courageous Little Boy "Grant The Great"

Update:   Grant the Great's battle ended 4/11/13.  Grant was a very couragous little boy.  Lexi wants everyone to know he is running around and playing ball with all the Doodle's.

Grant’s tumor was found when he was only 16 months old. He woke in…

How to Throw a Doggie Party: Presents Galore!

Let me tell you.  That Milt is one heck of a lucky boy!  At his party, we figured that one or two people might arrive with gifts to give our goldendoodle.  Well, turns out our friends have a true knack for purchasing puppy gifts galore.  Our boy certainly has an awful lot of new toys to play with for months and months to come.…

Looxcie

Unlike many of you, I'm not a huge photography guy.  Not because I don't like it; I do.  More because there are already so many items to keep track of when we leave the house (keys? cell phone? wallet? leash? poop bags? ball? hat? gloves? jacket? scarf?) that I resist adding another to the mix - particularly one that is expensive, fragile and requires both hands to operate.

Nevertheless, there are so many moments with Lola that I wish I could capture - even if not as perfect…

What the Heck was I Thinking?? (Slightly R Rated)

As most of you have heard by now, I have taken up Photography as a hobby.  As most of you also know, I consider myself to be an expert on most subjects regardless of my actual knowledge about the subject or any facts to back this up.  So, today, while I was out with my two Labradoodle assistants/models I came to the conclusion that no world-renowned photographer was ever able to get any of their famous photos while holding the leashes attached to two Doodles. Don’t bother telling me that…

Week one with Sasha

Well it has been an eye opening week. I forgot how hard it was to take care of a puppy. When we first met the breeder she told us she is very shy and very quiet, which in our case is fine because we do not have children. She was just beautiful and sweet! She had already been adopted in the past and returned because they realized that a puppy was a heck of a lot of work. Anyway we knew right away, she was the puppy for us. The next day, we picked her up and brought her in our truck as soon as…

Can it Really be 4 Years???

I can't believe that four years have gone by since our wonderful Oliver arrived in our lives...He is truly my heart dog, and I can't imagine not having him in my life.   He is funny, he is curious, and so many other wondeful things.  he may be a big moose of a dog, but to me he is just my sweet puppy.  He is everything I could have ever wanted.  He loves me unconditionaly, and he is there when I need some one to listen to me, or whatever my mood, he just knows how to be with me.  I have…
