Well, I posted about getting my father a sheepadoodle (old english sheepdog/std. poodle mix) last Wednesday.  Our plans (dad and I's) was for me to keep the pup for a few weeks, get her house trained and crate trained.  Dad hasn't had a dog, much less a puppy in years.  So he was uncertain of how to handle/raise a baby puppy.  I woke up at 2:30am on Wednesday night to a crying pup.  On Thursday night I woke up at 1:30am to a crying pup.  During the days and evenings, I soothed a sometimes…

Well, we made it through the weekend and I think everyone had a great time.

On the way to the mountains, our Doodle girl got car sick- 3 or 4 times :-(

I really thought it was because DH had fed her right before we left...Molly got car sick every time she got into a car, when we first got her. We kept hoping she would grow out of it. Finally, one day, while going to the dog park...she didn't get sick. After that, she was fine to hop into the truck and ride around. So when we left for… Continue

DH and I have been married for 7 years and have no children. We just aren't ready to even try for them yet, we're still young (got married as "babie") and still having the time of our lives without kids. That being said, we treat our two dogs like kids. They are spoiled and very well taken care of. DH does the best job taking care of our pups, he is the one that lets them out in the morning and he is the one that (usually) feeds them in the afternoon. He is also the one to take our doodle girl… Continue

First of all...thank you to all the sweet, kind, well wishes for Ali this past Friday!!!

I picked Ali up at 4:30pm on Friday afternoon.

The vet- a new vet I JUST started going to- was amazing!! He is sooo friendly, he brought Ali out to me and seriously stood and talked to me for half an hour, just going over different things...he is def. a sweet vet that loves his job.

I thought it was funny, they actually saved Ali's teeth for me :-) I didn't want them, but I did look at… Continue

Our little guy (small 7lb brussel griffon) went for a yearly checkup this past Saturday.

I've been trying to keep from dwelling on the fact that...tomorrow he is scheduled to go back for his dental cleaning.

UGH!! I was just stressing about Molly getting spayed...now I'm worried about little man and his dental cleaning. They said they will do blood work before they put him under and that it shouldn't take too long. They are sending me home with pain meds though, because they said they… Continue

When we first went to pick our Molly girl up, she was the softest ball of fluffy black fur I had ever seen or felt. She was all black aside from a small heart shaped white patch on her chest.

Our breeder told us she would more than likely be blue/grey when she fully matured.

As the weeks go by, she has started to sprout (lol, do dogs sprout hair) white fur from her feet. The tips of her feet are now a light shade of grey almost white. Shortly after, she also started to sprout (again)… Continue

to keep from crying!!



DH was fishing today, so I thought it would be a nice treat for myself and the dogs if I went home to let them out while on my lunch break.

I get a one hour lunch break and it takes about 15 minutes to get home (30min round trip) so it was only going to be a short 30 minute visit with the dogs, but I'd take it!

I got home and as soon as I opened the door, my little guy tripped me trying to run out of the house. Two seconds later, it hit me, the smell.… Continue

When we picked our Molly girl up, we were so excited to get her home...we didn't even give the car ride home much thought.

We said goodbye to the breeder, loaded Molly into the back seat of the truck -on a towel- and started down the road.

She started to panic, so I climbed into the back seat with her. DH had just made it onto the interstate when I recognized the familiar look on Mollys face...the look every puppy dog gets when they are about to throw up.

DH was in the far left… Continue
