Theresa & Duncan's Blog (26)

I realized I am WAY behind on my DK news and decided to get back into the swing of things by posting about yesterday's milestone. My sweet pup has crossed the threshold into adulthood. I have no idea how it happened - only yesterday we were running through the house with a peeing puppy trying to teach him to potty outside, then all of the sudden it's February 7, 2014 and he's not a puppy anymore.

I hope we made it special for him. I know that here, on DK, it is safe…

We are really looking forward to Sunday! Duncan and I had such a nice time last year when we did the Paws for the Cause walk, and I know we will this year too. Not only is it a great cause, but it is also a chance to score some really neat dog swag from local vendors. Last year we picked up a handmade braided leash that is super comfortable, a $10 antler, and a few doggie baked goods. Hopefully we'll meet some local doodles too!

Duncan is doing really well with the photo…

Another successful MS Walk is in the books! Duncan walked with me for the second year in a row, and once again I was amazed at how well behaved he was despite the crowds, sights, sounds, and smells. We actually had to stop about half a dozen times so people could take pictures of my handsome boy in his Team Chetta Rita's t-shirt!

Thank you again for the DK members who supported this cause. I was amazed at the generosity of people we have never "officially" met :). Here are a…

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…

HAPPY HOLIDA…

I was looking back at some of my earlier posts begging for advice on raising my insane puppy. From biting, to potty training, to sleepless nights; it felt like we jumped over hurdle after hurdle. 8 months later, as my Dood is snoozing on the couch next to me I realized all the little changes that have made things much easier.

1. Sleeping in. My husband and I have been married for 4 years and do not have children yet. So for now at least, we LOVE to sleep.…

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! This was Duncan's first, and he handled the costume, trick-or-treaters, and continuous knocking at the door very well.

Oh, and he was an airplane!

This past Sunday, my husband, Duncan, and I participated in Paws for the Cause; A dog walk to benefit patient care and research at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. It was a fantastic event! We couldn't ask for more perfect weather, and we were surrounded by dog lovers and pet-friendly vendors. I can't wait to participate next year!
