Rhonda, Marabelle & Jeriki's Blog (13)

Hi all,

I finally made the decision to get pet Insurance for the Doods.  I went with Presidents Choice, I think its only available in Canada not sure.  The policy for both the Doods $2500 all accidental $2500 all sicknes (no restrictions) and $350 a year for preventative vet care. was $57.00 a month for both dogs together.  I thought that was a pretty good price. It works out to be like $28.00 a month per dog. There was a cheeper one at 17.00 a month limits were $2000 and som sickness…

Well our first Christmas together and it went very well. We woke up let the doodes out, let them have there stockings, fed them. Then we decided to crate them while the kids went crazy for there own presents. Good thing as the kids had paper, and ribbon etc everywhere. We took them down to the park for a walk, they had a blast, overall it was a very Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.

I will be baking, cooking, cleaning, wrapping, taking pictures, and all and all to busy to check DK over the next few days, as well as the rest of you I am sure. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your human and furry families. And that all your brightest wishes find a way to come true....

Hi all,

Jeriki came home yesterday, him and Marabelle love eachother all ready.

He is a little shy, and a little nervous. We brought him home around 3:00pm and he didn't go pee till about 10:00pm. He is sooo beautiful, we are happy to have him. The cats are not to impressed they look at me with loathing in there eyes lol. I will post more when I have more to share of course.

So Marabelle is 4 months old now, and I think its time she starts letting me know when she needs to go out for a pee, instead of me guessing all the time lol. 

Now I have noticed all the posts on DK about the pooch bells for the door. Now I know my Marabelle is smart enough to figure these out, and I started thinking, its Christmas there will be Christmas bells and ribbon everywhere.  So I went down to the dollar store, and purchased ribbin and bells lol, I was so excited, I was going…

Hi all, So the DH and I have fallen completly in love with Marabelle as you all of course know. She is a 4 month old ALD. We have been both blown away on how much we enjoy her, and only want to inhance the experience by getting another ALD for her, and us.  So I called Barb from Gemstones, many of you know her, she is an active DK member.  Barb is who we purchased Marabelle from.  I told her that we want another pup from her next litter.  Any way Barb has asked me to be a guardian for one of…

Marabelle went to the groomer for the first time. She did awesome, its so nice to see her big brown eyes again. I think I fall more in love each day lol. Just wanted to share.

So we have been going to a really good clean dog park by our house, and Marabelle just loves it. as soon as I bring her leash out now she gets so excited. to watch her prance and run and play is so much fun. I get a kick out of her when she runs so fast, that all you can see is the whites of her eyes, because her ears are behind her head so cute. She is getting so big she is only 14 weeks and we arleady want another one, lol. just an update for everyone and a little brag session. I get so…

I have discovered that she's not as good on the leash as I thought. If I bring my sons for our walk she just looses all concentration any thoughts. When its me and her she sits when a car is coming, stays right beside me. When the boys come its like she has P.A.D.D.  and the boys are not doing anything to get her going they are just walking with us.

Marabelle has started barking at me in the mornings when I don't get her food quick enough.  I have let her know that I do not like this behaviour by practising the whole Ceser Milan thing, getting her to do eye contact and sit nicely for her food. any sugestions on what my responce should be when she barks at me for food? ( I don't want her to do this ). Other than that, what a great week, we've had a few accidents, nothing major though. Marabelle is walking on a leash very well, she sits…

Hi Guys and Gals,

 

Well it was a successful day today. I credit my Breeder for such a sweet heart Thanks Barb. She is sooooo good already. I know a puppy is a puppy, but wow what a difference from others.  She is so calm, but still a puppy. she already shadows my every step outside. she already goes to her crate on her own, when tired. she hasn't barked at all, and she's only whimpered a few times while I was preparing dinner, and had to have her in her crate until I was ready…

1 more sleep. I will be picking Marabelle up tomorrow, any advice for our first day???? So excited lol

Hi all and thank you for the warm welcome. I am super excited about our little Aussie beauty,and I think my friends are getting a little tired of hearing about her lol. After much deliberation I think we have all agreed on a name for our little girl, Marabell I believe will be her name. I can't wait until I have cute funny stories to share, and I am looking forward to all the advice I have noticed on here.
