Lucy Wins !!!!!

Lucy and I attended the 2010 Bark For Life on Sat. It was to storm all day and it turned out to be a gorgeous day. In fact, 85 degress to be exact!!! There were about 100 dogs there and Lucy was the ONLY doodle! Boy did she get the attention of everyone. She did fabulous in the games. She won the Musical Sit which is sort of like a mini obediance and came in second in the hurdles. I was very proud of her. We had a great time and it was for a great… Continue

VALENTINES ANYONE...............

I love to see how everyone decorates their pages. I did a little with mine for Valentine's Day. Did not spend nearly as much time as I usually do. AND, remember last year, for those of you that were here, the Valentine Day page contest that Adina had........... I WAS THE WINNER and still cherish my gift. WELL, I would love to see all of the different Valentine pages that a lot of you have done, but I do not have the time to go through over 5,000 pages to see them. IF you have decorated your… Continue

OT........... buying a puppy for my grandaughter for Christmas and need name suggestions.

Yes, I am buying her a non doodle puppy. For certain reasons she has to have a very small dog. So, here she is, a mini dashound. Right now her name is Trish and for other reasons we need to change that. I like Bella, but am up for your suggestions. I know there are very creative minds out there in DK world. Of course my grandaughter will have the final say or probably will pick her own name, but thought I would see what you all thought ;-)

She is just a doll baby, 7 1/2 weeks old and… Continue

100% Pleased with Mobile Groomer :-)

I am 100% pleased with the finished Lucy as seen in the 1st. 2 pics. Chris did a supurb job. She charged me $40 and I gave her a $10 tip, which I do not think was bad at all and I never had to leave my house. She groomed her exactly as I told her too. I think I am hooked !!!! She started on Lucy at 11:45 and was done at… Continue

I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED !!!!!

I get very jealous when I read post about mobile grooming vans that go around different areas in the country, or great off leash parks near owners that they can take their doodles to every day and let them run.

WELL GUESS WHAT...............

In the newspaper 3 days ago there was an article about a woman that lost her job last year, went to dog grooming school and the gov. helped her buy a mobile dog grooming van. She has started her businiess and I MADE LUCY AN APPT. She is coming… Continue

How could I get mad at my Lucy ....................

Lucy, you have some splain'n to do >:-(

I was in the living room and suddenly heard a very LOUD crash (glass breaking) I found one of my dining room windows lookinig like the pics below and Lucy standing there beside a chair that was lying on the floor. All I can figure is she got up on the chair to look out the window, which she does not need to do, and the chair tipped over, hitting the window. It is a dual pane window so the inside pane is broken. I am just glad she did not get cut.… Continue

HELP, trying to find a good home for a stray non doodle

Isn't she a cutie :-)

Here are a couple pics of a stray dog that was dropped off near Lucy's groomers yest. When I went to pick her up Debbie, her groomer, said that a young couple stopped there and asked if she would take the dog. As a kennel/groomer she is not allowed, she is not a shelter. 15 mins after they left the dog came to her kennel. They must of went down the road and… Continue

I have a bunny slayer on my hands................

Over the last several days, Lucy has been obsessed with trying to get under my living room deck. We have lattace around the bottom of it and tonight she broke a piece of it down, got under there and found a nest of baby bunnies. She ATE one of them !!!!!!! I am soooooooo upset with her. We have had these 3 rabbits running around in our yard and evidently one of them had babies under the deck. Now, all she wants to do is go outside, and I know what she is going to do, try and get under there… Continue

We're back --- and what a story we have to tell...................

As I posted last week we left for the Gettysburg, Pa. Bluegrass Festival last Wed. When we got there they had one of the venders parked in a smaller motorhome than ours, right behind us. He was not even 10 ' behind us and just parked there, not even in a designated site. Well, I didn't like that to begin with, but there… Continue
