Kathy and Sam's Blog (9)

Hurray for the new year.  I am enjoying my life with my Sam.  We are in our second year together and in this year we will be leaving the snowy mountains during the month of February for the warm sand in Florida.  I'm hoping to post on here more often because I love connecting with doodle families! 

It has been a long time since I last wrote on Doodlekisses.  Sam and I have had a great time learning in puppy class.  He is so much fun!  He graduated and we will continue on to the next level.  We are hoping to go to classes for Sam to become a Therapy Dog for visiting hospitals and elementary schools.  My life has been enhanced by having this bundle of energy in my life!…

My niece and great nephew made another visit to see and interact with the puppies, who are now 4 weeks old.  What a difference just one week makes!  Wow!  This post shows the growth of lime boy.   (If interested, I posted pictures of all the puppies on my page yesterday)  I live 4 hours away and my niece is within a few miles of the puppies. My breeder welcomes them at any time.  We face timed for about 20 minutes.  Oh, I love technology.  Could someone please invent a way to touch through a…

This Friday I will be visiting Mama dog and her 3 week old babies.  I am so excited to see the puppies in person as I have only seen them through pictures.  I know I will love all of them.  It is so great to have a breeder who allows me to come whenever I can.  …

Puppies, puppies, puppies!  One of the girls will be my Liberty.  Libby may be wearing pink or purple.  The other five are her brothers.

July 4, 2015!  My puppy was born.  She has one sister and five brothers.  I have decided to call her "Liberty" which is quite fitting.  Here is a picture of the patriotic family, but I can't determine yet where Liberty is!

  As many of you are probably aware, the saga of prisoners who escaped the Dannemora Prison in Upstate New York is OVER!  I live near the area that was heavily searched and it's so nice to be able to feel free again.  SIGH!  We are truly thankful of all of the law enforcement officers who kept us safe for three weeks.  

  During part of those three weeks I took a little jaunt to meet my puppy's mom.  She's due in a few weeks and I'm thrilled about that.  

  Here she is!  Can…

I recently lost my father in November and in December I lost my 15 year old dog, Misty Mae... The two losses entwined themselves in my grief.

The recent decision to bring a doodle pup into my life has perked me up but I am scared. I'm afraid of change. It hurts. It literally hurts. Many thoughts come into my head and heart. Will I groom properly? Do I have the energy? Will we bond?  

My Misty Mae was a shelter dog who required very little maintenance other than vet checks. We…

I will be sharing my life with a doodle puppy some time this summer. He/she will be born near July 4th! I can't wait! I plan to share our experiences.

My profile picture is a picture of one of the breeder's first puppies.  This week I will be meeting the puppy's mom, dad and another sibling. Soooo excited!
