Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
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 –…

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…

Go back in time for a moment, not too far – 2006 will do.
Do you remember a book called “The Secret?” It was a best-selling “self-help” book written by Rhonda Byrne. Based on the law of attraction and that “positive thinking can create life-changing results such as increased wealth, health, and happiness.”
No disrespect to those that believe – but I’ve carried positive thoughts all winter that we wouldn’t get snow but it happened! The snow came. Wet,…

Often times I forget just how large Leo really is…
I mean I spend an enormous amount of time with him and after a while, it doesn’t register. Every now and again, I’ll see him with someone else and think “that’s a big dog!”…
Whenever he and Harley are playing, poor Harley has to rely on “street tactics” to muscle him down. He’ll…

That’s how it usually starts – let’s face it puppies can melt the hardest of hearts!
Whether or not a person has thought about it for a long time OR they saw one recently and can’t get it out of their mind. All it takes is for one family member with the notion, and the “let’s get a puppy” train leaves the station! The search begins.
For me? – I had craved one like crazy for many years. When I finally decided I was ready to dedicate time, positive…

The “goodie” table was set!
Both Harley & Leo waited patiently by the party room door for their first guest to arrive…
Uh-Oh they saw a doodle coming……

With Doodle Day almost here, I’ve been keeping some late hours this week preparing for the “big day.”
Both Leo & Harley generally “retire” for the evening between 10:00-10:30pm, (I have early risers).
The last two nights, Harley (we’ll call him “the wise one”), showed his team spirit and extended his bedtime hour about an additional thirty minutes. But after 11:00pm, he would do a David Copperfield – “disappear” and then…

THE DOODS ARE BORED!
We have been truly blessed thus far this winter (hope this doesn’t jinx it!), with no serious snow accumulation. But in Mr. Snow’s absence, we have had some really frigid days. I’m talking about bitter, raw, neck biting cold that penetrates right through you. Cold that lingers and takes up residence in your…

t’s another great day filled with doodles and fun. A few hours to meet – to play, romp and run.
OTPR said, “come back” use our space. We barked with delight, cause it’s just the right place.…

The month of February has been set aside as National Pet Dental Health Month. And while the majority of humans don’t consider a trip to the dentist to be one of their top 10 most favorite things to do, it’s no secret that regular dental checkups are essential to maintain overall good health. It’s equally just as important for pet parents to provide regular dental care for their pets.
According to studies made by the…

The biggest event on all fours was back!
Puppy Bowl returned for its ninth consecutive year with an all-star, all-adorable cast that was ready to mix it up on the grand gridiron of Animal Planet Stadium.
Puppy Bowl IX brought viewers a loveable lineup that was itching to play in a winning combination of terrier tackles, touchdowns, puppy penalties, fumbles and Fido first…

I told my DH the other day that he is developing a following! I get so tickled whenever I blog about him and the boys, other DH (doodle husbands) playfully respond referencing that particular post in his defense. Doodle husbands are uniting!
If you read OUR INAUGURAL WEEKEND blog post, you’ve got to remember that although “Doodle Dad” had a outstanding afternoon, he failed to…

First delivery? – SNOW!
Although it wasn’t much, it was enough for the boys to enjoy. And best of all – it was a “beautiful thing” to watch as it came down, and a “beautiful thing” to know it had disappeared by the next morning (there is a God!).
As soon as I bundled up and opened the garage door, Leo gathered his balls together to let me know after our walk we were going to play a while……

I read once that “swimming” was supposed to be great exercise for dogs. I don’t think they meant this…
Both boys love the beach, and we try to grant them their wish by running away to a warmer climate for one week during the summer. But what about the other 51 weeks in the year? You can visit umpteen sites on the internet and read about the…

First a follow-up: All my whining and “sniveling” last week seemed to chase away the wintery white stuff we were told would bury us under. Not one mere flake fell in our area, HOWEVER, Jack Frost isn’t finished with us yet, this week we are expecting frigid, low temperatures for many days – Yikes! But it will be dry. Freezing – but dry – I’m happy!
Now let me tell you about the weekend…
The boys have a…

Yesterday afternoon those worrisome weather reports started breaking through my “regularly scheduled program” to inform us about a “Winter Storm Watch” headed straight for my backyard!
By dinner time, more reports came in, bellowing specific words from the television like: “accumulation – heavy at times – throughout the night.” If the goal among networks was to cause DM (doodle momma) to panic – they succeeded.
Last winter was very…

As we prepared for our morning walk Friday, I told the boys (confession time – yes I talk to them), after breakfast they were going to day camp. Talk about an immediate reaction!
My usual “rowdy convicts” turned into “model prisoners” - this is what they did…
While I got dressed, looked for my keys,…

It was – what seemed to start out as – an ordinary day. I wanted to do some housework but the boys wanted to play. Let me tell you – they were entertaining yet “persistent” with delivering that message to me all morning long. If they weren’t giving me funny faces…

On November 14, 2011 I wrote and posted a blog titled: “CAN AN ANGEL HAVE AN ANGEL” (feel free to read if you haven’t). It is a story about my mom struggling with the beginning stages of dementia and the unique tenderness in which my boys handle her when they are together….…
