Tracking Dog Hits On Scent. Strange Package Found On Ohio Womans Doorstep

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

On Tuesday around 5pm, an Ohio woman  returned home from work and tripped over a suspicious package at her doorstep shipped from Nashville, TN.

Doodlekisses member Joanne, reports that her Goldendoodle Spud is a  trained treat-tracking dog who hit on the suspicious package instantly detecting lots of tantalizing smells.   The suspicious package was quickly removed from the dog and placed in safe keeping but this failed to keep Spud, and his sister Starlit, a Labradoodle, from an all out canine explosion in which they began the dreaded behaviors of relentless jumping and barking at the brown box.  An immediate investigation into the package contents was ordered by the Doodles.  Joanne objected but was overruled.

The contents were found to contain:

• Two colorful scarves
• A Busy Budy Squirrel Kong
  
• A bag of Fromm’s Cranberry Naturals Treats (who knew it was the  favorite of the dogs? )
• Tennessee’s finest Honey ( I did not know Tn. was famous for Honey) and a Pet Magazine From Nashville.   Do Doodles in Nashville sing Country Music?
  
• Zuke's Mini Naturals
• Zuke's Z Ridge Dental Chew ( this for sure goes to Starlit and her breath)
• Terrabone--Complete Natural Nutrition --(I wonder if Allyson, Peri, and Taquito are Actively involved in the food group??????)
• And  THE HOPELESS DOODLE ADDICT TROPHY AND THE  TRAVELING JOURNAL NOTES FROM FELLOW DK MEMBERS WHO PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED THIS WONDERFUL AWARD

Spud listens intently as Starlit finishes a Healthy Chew while Dad Reads the Doodle Journal

A Special Favorite was Some Poetry :)

Do You Read To Your Doodles?

How Lucky is this Woman to belong to such a wonderful group of owners and dogs?

"LIFE IS GOOD HERE ON DK", she stated to reporters.

Doodles Starlit and Spud proudly pose for pictures with Dad in their new outfits!
The doodles and their dad  stated they are not addicted but loved the fact that their mom was.   She loves all the people, she laughs A LOT, and learns new things everyday.
  Spud mentioned that even OLD MOMS can learn NEW Tricks and being an addict on DK is not such a bad thing as far as he and his sister were concerned.  Starlit said, " yeah, look how sweet I look in my new outfit and my belly is full, and life is good"

A Special thank you to Allyson, Peri, and Taquito for the beautiful package all the way from Nashville

Thank YOU   All  For Being The Doodle Lovers You Are and Being Great Friends  :)

Congratulations!! I hope I will be an addict some day. I absolutely love the looks on Starlit and Spud's faces in the picture with their doodle scarves on. Starlit and Spud are SMILING!! Great shot. Loved the story.

Congratulations Joanne! I really enjoyed reading your post, great pictures!!! You sure can tell a story! OMG Starlit is getting HUGE! Spud's gonna feel like the little brother soon! By the way, you guys make great doodle parents. : )

So funny and what beautiful doodles. I'm new to this sight and it is so great to share with other "doodle addicts" At one time I was your everyday teacher, mother, and outdoor enthusiast. Then my daughter introduced me to a goldendoodle. It has never been the same around here since :) I want to take them with me everywhere I go and I do just that whenever I can get away with it. Thanks for a fun forum topic on this Tuesday morning.

AWESOME!!!! Congrads! Enjoy the goodies.

Hey, Joanne!! Congratulations on being completely, sincerely, entirely, absolutely and hopelessly addicted to Doodles!! I enjoyed your article PLUS I got to see the look-alike theme going on at your house too!! If you would just put a few streaks in your hair (or stop taking them out???? hee hee) it would be perfect!!! Enjoy your addiction!!!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Truth--I touched up my hair in that picture :) At least my mustache is not white like Starlits

[DeeDee and Sheila]

Oh what precious pictures. And Starlit is bigger now than Spud!! She is one of the only parti doodles I have seen. I love that you shared pictures of yourselves also. Is Spud the boss, I hope? Why does it always seem like the 2nd doodle is even bigger than fhe first with the DKers? How big can these guys get???????? Are they a good pair?

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Hi Dee Dee :)
She was an underweight rescue and skinny for months --but she made up for lost time very recently. Suddenly she is 'thick'. Lab Mass for Starlit. Poodle thin and lean for Spud

I can not tell yet who is the boss. That's a great question and it is very hard to tell. She is mellow and adult serious, he is hyper with a Peter Pan, never grow up attitude. Most of the time he is so much faster and playful than she is and would rather lay around and watch the world and nap. But once a day she becomes silly playful or annoyed enough, gets up and squashes him flat.

It is not a partner / or mate relationship. It is a brother and sister relationship for sure. The annoying pestering brother, the prissy or serious sister. They adore each other although very opposite.
