Lisa, Daisy & Dexter's Blog (19)

Daisy is going to the Ophthalmologist today, her Daddy will be taking her. I am at a loss on how to feel about this. I am always the caregiver, always the one my girls come to when in need. Daddy is the playmate.

DH is feeling a little unsure as well. He always comes along but is not the questioner. He has been drilled on what to ask, not to make the appointment for surgery without conferring with me and lots of notes.

The good thing is DH took the entire day off so the 2nd…

Wow, so much has happened in the last week, I have been truly stressed. My place of employment of 21 years informed us they were closing the doors on Friday the 22nd, they gave us 2 weeks to "finish things up" so really two weeks to fret about our situations. For me the issue was more sadness than worry, after all, I had a husband that could support me. The hardest thing for me was saying goodbye to our clients, which by the way we were unable to do because of Franchise rules. I of course…

Babysat for a close family couple yesterday, Noah Jax. He is an almost 7 months old and a beautiful and happy little man.

After over 3 years of trying to have a baby of their own this young couple, Bryan and Beckie started the adoption process in December of 2011 and was approved in January of 2012. They worked very hard on putting together an adoption book depicting their struggles to have a baby and their lives together. Truly a marvelous couple.

In April, another very young…

Many of you may remember last year (in June 2011) my very good friend lost her youngest child Crystal in a car accident.

Well two days ago her eldest boy Jamey was transported (35) to U of M medical center with a brain bleed.

He seemed to be doing better but last night he started complaining about another bad headache and it seems he has another area that started to bleed. He is back in NEURO ICU and is having…

Daisy had a grooming appointment on Thursday. Nothing special just the same old drop off and pick up, bath, trim, brush. However this time we were changing the person that was doing the grooming as her regular Sarah had left the business.

I was a bit nervous (I know you all know the feeling with new groomers) but I really like the place, they don't crate, it's in an actual home, on my way to work and close enough to run and get her when they are done.Daisy always seems to do okay…

I have been mostly MIA lately, the reason? Well suffice to say it has something to do with a leash, a dog and a DH that didn't use his head.

We were out hiking on a nice afternoon 2 weeks ago this past Sunday. We were in the woods, I was holding Daisy, DH was NOT thinking and went off the path and tried to pick up a very large fallen limb, Daisy did not see him, only the branch and took off like a bat out of he_ _! Remember who was holding the leash? That's right, a 70lb doodle on the…

Daisy has been quite the celebrity this week, well at least at our house. First the awesome page in the 2013 Lotsa Doodles calendar and now in print in the Doodle Days Comics by Patty Barry (PJ and Zach). We are so proud!

Super Star Daisy

I can't believe my girl is three already. She was born 10/27/2009. We found her right after DD's big wedding. It took us a year of planning and praying but we believe we found our perfect match.

No big celebration planned just some of Daisy's favorite things, the Park, some Chuck-it and a trip to the Specialty Pet Store to find her perfect toy.

Happy Birthday…

Well as some of you know I have been on a desperate search for a new Vet for Daisy.

Because of her extreme shyness and fear to new situations and people I have gotten "less" than what I would expect from Vets. One went as far as saying "Wooooooo", for a long time and putting his hands up and backed off, when she barked at him giving Daisy complete control over the situation. This Num nut and his technician (who rolled her eyes) put a towel over her eyes to shoot the Bordetella vaccine…

Two years ago on December 26th we picked up our little Daisy, we have come a very long way. Can't imagine life without her.

This is the day we brought her home 12-26 2009 and this is today 2 years later

Love you Daisy…

Daisy Doodle turns two tomorrow on the 27th. I can hardly remember before we got her.

She brings joy and happiness every day.

Just look at her, is it any wonder why we love her so much? Love you big girl!…

Well we had the pleasure of having Bella, Daisy's real live sister, for the weekend again. It is amazing to me how quickly these puppies grow.

We had so much fun every day....from Thursday nite to Monday morning the two girls played chuck-it, wrestled, ran in the back yard, went for walks at Sunny Lake. On Sunday we visited my DD and her boxer Lily.  While Daisy played with…

Well it's two days away from our DD & SIL honeymoon to Greece. We were all set to take Lily the 2 year old boxer into our home for a 2 week stay while their friend was going to stay at their home to watch Sophie the 6 year old boxer/beagle mix, still convalescing from her back surgery.

Well as luck (for me at least) would have it their sitter for home can not do it after all. What does that mean for us you might ask, well that means Daisy and I get a 2 week vacation from cooking…

It has been exactly 1 week since the big "Fry", got my computer today, delivered by Fed Ex - no monitor, no printer yet but what matters is I CAN BE ON DK again.

It is amazing all that I have missed. I mean seriously, I have jumped on at work but can't really contribute nor can I stay on for any length of time.

See you all tomorrow night and hopefully on Yappy Hour Friday.

Miss You :o(

I now want another one - but not just any one I WANT BELLA! She was such a joy. She is just like my Daisy...calm, sleeps through the nite, very smart and oh so cute.

We are all three going to miss her terribly, but don't worry, I will have her again in August - can't wait.

Oh and guess what else - Head Tilts run in the family.…

Well this is my first full day with Baby Bella, she arrived last evening at 5 and we have been having a blast. She is so sweet.

At first Daisy was a bit tentative and avoided her like the plaque, then she started walking closer to her and trying to get a good sniff. It is so fun to see.

Bella has NO idea what to do as far as playing with a big 65# dog at her current 15#'s but she is very interested in finding out. She plays with no other animals at this point cause she is just…

We received Daisy's wonderful bag of treats today in a lovey canvas bag. Thank you so much Nina it is beautiful.

Daisy likes the all in one turkey balls the best - she says WOOF! What smells so good Mom? Why are you making me wait?…

Zach at 5 month Zach at 7 months

This past weekend had been a rough one for me. I learned around midnight on Saturday that my very best childhood and longtime friend lost her 21 year old daughter on Saturday morning in a tragic car accident. The heartache this has caused has affected so many people. The family is based near Mackinaw (about 20 miles south) in Michigan and the accident happened there. My friend and DH now live in Chicago due to his job. She called me from the road and I could only listen to her sobs and…
