Bad Boyfriend

[Toby]

I have lovingly dubbed Toby my "bad boyfriend"- you know the one- everyone tells you don't fall in love, he's trouble, he's a mess..... But you still go there. We will soon be coming upon our six month anniversary of having Toby who soon will be eight months. In that short time we have battled through crate training, potty training, teething, wet dog, muddy paws, throw up, hole digging, flower eating, jumping on guests, I phones in the mouth, nipping, the groomer, the vet, the Christmas tree and the cone of shame! Despite all that, I love him. Is he a lot of work? Yes. Probably more than I expected, as I never raised a dog before, but when I see how much fun and love he brings, it makes me dig deep for that patience that I thought I only had had reserved for my son. He makes us all work a little harder every day but he also makes us laugh and smile every day. I can't really think of anything else that can do that other than children, which is why I see how so many people love them like children. And like any good " bad boyfriend" , he is hell on wheels ( or should I say paws) and a heck of a lot of fun.

Awwww....I can see why you love that "bad boyfriend" pup!

[Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau]

Love your blog.  Just makes me chuckle.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

I love your blog! Especially the part about children :)  The first year with my doodle pup felt like I was running a marathon to stay one step ahead LOL But the laughs and snuggles went a long way to making him one of the best parts of my life, then and now.

I love this also...  We cannot say that Holly was like this but, we had our bad moments with this darling girl. There is  light at the end of the tunnel and your love will help this light burn brighter...

[Camilla and Darwin]

Aw, I love this. :-)

I love this blog!  It is all sooo true and I'm sure at one time or another when they are puppies we have all said, "what have we done?".  I know we did, but for every bad moment they have, the good far out weigh the bad.  The way Libby snuggles with us, looks at us, kisses us and cuddles with us it makes it all worth it!!  Toby is your every day normal Doodle and that is good:)

I love what Robin said too!

Lori and Quincy- when the spring thaw arrives, we need to have the doggies meet. Maybe the Northport park.

Everyone knows bad boyfriends are the best!  Go Toby!

Oh Toby! This is such a cute blog. We have one... a bad boyfriend doodle, I mean. Yup, you love them to bits in spite of yourself or them. ;o)
