Hercules had been battling cancer since May 2011, when he was given 2 weeks to live, but he beat the odds and continued warming my heart with his presence for a few months longer. He now rests in peace.
- Where did you get your doodle(s)?
- Rescue
- Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
- I wanted a non-shedding dog like my Portie, med-large in size, who is intelligent, docile, and friendly, yet a good protector. I was originally seeking a Labradoodle, but came across Zeus, a puppy, who was believed to be a Chowdoodle. Since I previously owned Chow Chows and a Standard Poodle, I felt this was a good match for me.
UPDATE: In 2014, I had Zeus DNA tested and discovered his father, his parents, and his grandparents were all full-bred Shar-Pei.
- What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
- Giving lots of hugs, kisses, and belly rubs. Zeus loves his squeak toys and hasn't learned to play fetch yet, but we're working on it.
UPDATE: I finally gave up on the fetch thing and am glad I did because I remember one DK member telling me her arms were sore every day. (Thanks for sharing that with me!)
- Does your doodle(s) shed?
- Yes!
- Who grooms your doodle(s)?
- I do it all myself, including cleaning up the daily massive shedding - whew!
- Favorite Doodle Products?
- Purina Busy Bone Minis and Three-Dog Bakery Cookies. Oh, and Jane's poop station (I just gotta get me one of those bad boys one day).
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Would you be willing to Dog Sit on occasion for other DoodleKisses members? (You are NOT committing to anything by saying yes - you are just saying you might be willing to do this if you were acquainted with the other member and the circumstances were right.)
- Yes

The Dreaded Ear Infection
Posted on July 6, 2016 at 4:39pm 11 Comments 0 Favorites
Last month, I suspected that my son might be developing an ear infection, but there wasn’t an odor. So, I thought it might just be residual fleas from our May infestation/home invasion that crawled into his ears. Nope! Now my baby whines or screams if anything touches his ears (even if he accidentally rubs one against something) and I now smell the odor. I have some Tramadol, so I texted my FL vet friend what dosage to give him for pain. We’ll be visiting his local vet tomorrow.
I had…
ContinueZeus with a Poodle-Do
Posted on June 27, 2016 at 1:35am 5 Comments 0 Favorites
Zeus is five years old now, but still a messy eater. So, I took him to the groomer for a Poodle-Do. Ok, so it's not as becoming as I thought it'd be (maybe I should've painted his toenails sky blue). Anyway, it'll grow back.
Poor Hercules ... Another Vet Visit
Posted on September 8, 2011 at 10:04pm 9 Comments 0 Favorites
I saw a 2” scab on Hercules’ chest and small ones on his back. Diagnosis: staph infection. So, now he has raw boo-boos and is taking 10 pills/day (instead of 6). After returning home from the vet, I put puppy Zeus in the bathroom, went to school, came back home and Zeus had chewed up my brand new bathroom window blinds. How he got his teeth clamped onto anything that's 51" from the floor is beyond me. The joys of Doodle puppyhood, lol!
Just call me Grace. I’m such an idiot.

WARNING: DON’T READ IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH!
I decided to tune up my lawn mower today. Got the blade off and took it to a shop to have it sharpened. Being oh so careful with my now very sharp blade, I came home and held it above my head as I walked in the door to keep jumpin’ jack Zeus safe. I slowly walked to the back door, grabbed my tools, went outside, gently set the blade in place on the lawn mower, and started wrenching it back on.…

I apologize, I just saw this message now. We just got our standard goldendoodle a week ago, he is just 9 wks now. I am obviously new to this site, so I have to figure out how to post his (Jasper) picture. I will work on this. Thanks for the warm welcome.....this Canadian appreciates it ❤
Brandy is now almost 5 months old and is jumping on people which needs to stop. We act like a tree or say "off" to each time. She is also jealous of our 10 year old bichon fries and barks at him to get him to play we think. Everything he has she wants and that causes most of the barking. She will block him from going upstairs and run in front of him so he can't get to another room. Any suggestions?
Barbie, I am just now reading my comments from May and June. LOL Thanks for the birthday wishes!!
Hi Barbie... My Maddie is 7 yrs. old, and a puppy for life. I've got many photos I'm thinking of posting, but I'm also still checking out this site to see how tame it is. I've already received one solicitation message, and this is the first response I've given. I'm not fond of websites that don't monitor SPAM or solicitations, but I guess that would take some work. I really only wanted to share Doodle experiences with others who are reaping the benefits of owning one. They are an amazing breed. Will be in touch. Thanks for reaching out.
I've been busy...and Scout is really learning. What a wonderful dog so far. I think he was probably just crying, not full howling. Now that he's used to his crate, he doesn't do this anymore. He is so fun. Growing and changing. YO%20Play%20-%20TEC%20003.JPG
Groucho Too was not a parti coat. He has the very typical phantom poodle markings and he was a beautiful dog. He died over two years ago and I wanted another dog like him. My breeder has a phantom poodle but she is into OES training now (Old English Sheepdog) and agreed to breed an OES with the phantom poodle. I have been working with her for two years and the puppy of my dreams is here. I pick her up on Monday. Photos to follow. This is one from the breeder.
Well her are the 3 dogs together and one Horse Romeo check out our Facebook page
Rideabiltysc and see the rest, we do therapeutic horseback riding here in SC
Thank you! He is just 10 weeks today ☺️
Thank you for the feedback :)
