Talk about a fab*dood*lous day…

• Hundreds of pets and anipals!

• The weather was perfect!

AND…

• The boys, on their best behavior, had a great time!

Okay, okay, let me share. I’ve been waiting to go to this for months. When I found out (the same week) that DH (doodle husband) had a meeting and couldn’t join me. You’d been proud, I didn’t panic – I asked the two legged off springs to join…

First, A Happy St. Paddy's Day to you all from me and Duncan O'Doodles.

Also, I wanted to share something very dear to me....I was filmed recently for a video series that Dicks Sporting Goods is doing called "Every Runner Has A Reason". They are featuring 13 stories of runners who have different reasons for why they run. Anyway, mine is up and i'd love for you all to…

Recently, I signed my husband and me up for some local classes in Photography and Photoshop.  I haven’t taken a class since college and have been perfectly happy filling my head with entertainment news and mindless trivia in the meantime.  My quest for knowledge consists of figuring out the plots on Person of Interest and what’s the maximum dose of Advil I can take after a trip to the gym.  Well, class started Wednesday and it brought back memories of our high school days when John…

As I sat at my desk this morning reading over all of the e-mails we have received this week from so many of Sophie's friends, I was reading one from one of our very own, most popular ladies here on DK.  It was at that very moment that someone knocked (very firmly I might ad) on the front door and I about fell off my chair.  The reason for the knock is one that will change me forever.  The Fed Ex man had left a package at our door.  Inside the box was the softest, warmest, most cuddly…

This past week we were SO lucky to be able to head to St. George for our spring break! It was a much needed vacation, and it was SO amazing to pull into town and have it be above 60 degrees!

When we left Salt Lake it was in the 40's so it was awesome to feel warm! We immediately changed into shorts when we got into our hotel room, which had palm trees out the…

Recently someone asked the question if we would clone our dogs and the unanimous answer was a resounding no.  To me, it sounds a little creepy and far-fetched, but then again, when I was growing up I would have never believed that we would be listening to songs on a device no bigger than a credit card and would have the ability to see someone who lived halfway across the country on something called a computer.  It sounded just about as preposterous as Maxwell Smart’s shoe phone. …

After Milt's little incident on Sunday, it became apparent that finishing the gate was incredibly imperative.  Pop and Jeff got on it, and by very late Monday evening, our new gate was resurrected.…

Last week or so, early in the morning, a dear friend phoned me. She was super excited rambling into my voicemail about a segment on GMA featuring dog clothes. They called it CUSTOM CLOTHES FOR PAMPERED POOCHES. I missed the segment, because I was in the middle of “custom potty walks for two pampered doodles!”

Probably two days later I pulled up the featured story, and thought –…

I hope I'm not violating any guideline by posting this.  I don't think I am.  I just thought it was a good story and wanted to share.  Really it was the fact that my very serious father was the one who sent it to me was the best part.…

Something scary happened on Sunday.  It was really scary.  That morning was just like any other; I was preparing to walk the Milt, and Jeff's parents, Momeaux and Pop, were in town again to help on our fence.  This was the big push to finish the front gate where our cars drive in and out.  That was the the one that we really wanted fixed because right now we just have a chain link fence that does not close well, so it is not terribly safe for Milton.



Before we left on the walk,…

After trying for several years to put up temporary puppy enclosures and struggling to keep them inside of those enclosures, I finally got some kennels and put them together to make a play yard for the pups while they are here--I have been picking up some bigger toys for it and also got a big piece of artificial turf to cut down on the mud until the grass grows in...We had to clear the snow off the ground first and then we assembled everything. Here are the pups exploring the new set up and…

On Saturday night, in the middle of the night, I awoke to Milton's nose in my face, and Jeff sitting on the floor next to him.  Milton had whined to go potty and, of course, he went to Jeff's side of the bed to ask to go out.  It takes me a little too long to wake up and get up!  Now they had both returned, and Milton was just a little muddy.…

By now it has to be “Windex” clear that I am completely “done” with winter.

I mean, I’ve whined about it (thanks so much for commiserating with me!) at least a half a dozen times!

With that said, you cannot imagine the celebratory noise I made when I came outside Saturday morning to walk the boys, and saw this…



After our “mini…

  I knew doodles were talented, but this is too cute!!!

The DH took Quincy for a 4 mile walk sometime way before I felt like moving so I got to roll over (haha, I already know that trick)...and then be awakened with the bounding sound of footsteps  up to our bedroom and a jump on top of me (my most favorite way to wake up - at least these days-) and then we had some play tug.   Then breakfast and off to TRICKS class at the same school we took him for Puppy Kindergarten and Family Dog I. (best place on LI- message me for more info since I…

Last year when I did the MS walk, a DK member suggested that I share the info ahead of time if I planned to do it again. Well once again Duncan Doodle and I will be participating in Walk MS Philadelphia! I was so proud of how well Duncan behaved with all the people, sounds, and smells, but mostly I loved the way he made people smile who were gathered for the cause. He was just a puppy and couldn't walk the whole distance, but I…
