What's next

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

After a week of being a quiet doodle after Thanksgiving Haley has gone in the opposite direction this week. First, he is the "energizer doodle" wanting to fetch his ball constantly. My arm is getting sore!

Monday he got overly excited about the tractor parked beside our property and when I called him he came running in his excited/prancing full speed ahead pace and spun me around and knocked me down. I landed on my back. My ankle got twisted and is swollen but does not hurt. The next thing he did was to knock his ball into the chopped up leaves in the garden then ran through them sticking his nose in them to find the ball (as if it were in snow).

Tuesday night Haley and I left my studio to come back to the house. It was dark. With no warning Haley took off like a "bat out of ****". He's never done this before. I couldn't see him so all I could do was call him. I guess I yelled so loud that my DH who had gone upstairs heard me yelling and he was on the opposite side of the house. He came with a flashlight and found Haley and an opossum having a stand-off! He said the opossum was hissing.

Wednesday morning Haley managed to overturn a chair when he stood up. (Note how close it came to hitting his Fiesta food bowl!)

So, what's next?

Maybe he's just in love : )

Sue, I just trim around Haley's eyes so he can see and I trim his feet a little.  He has never been to a groomer.  I comb him every day or two with a wide tooth comb then a fine tooth one.  He doesn't mat with that minimal care.  But he does SHED!

Anne, he is just so regal looking. I don't think I have ever seen a doodle with the hair around his eyes and forehead SO long. Does he get trimmed and they leave it long? Gorgeous. You must have the patience of a saint to deal with that much hair tho.

Mr. Haley you are a hot mess!  Santa is coming so you better watch out!

Haley is being your wild child!  It's a treat to see them feeling so energetic and happy.  :)

I'm sorry, but this is so funny. I am laughing so hard at these pictures!

Must be something in the fall air that has Mr. Haley feeling his Wheaties.

We all have to cut loose sometime :) LOL

LOL! OMD! I hope you are okay!!! I must say though that Mr. Haley still manages to look regal even when decorated with leaves! That's a great photo!  Hopefully that's the end of his adventures and you won't have to do any "update" on this blog!!!
