Mommy took me to get groomed yesterday. Let's see how long I stay clean. My brother is always up to something!! It is the tennis ball sister you know I have to have it. Let's play! No thanks I'll just chew on my bone. This is our Christmas picture for 2009. Mommy took us to a studio to get it done. I was good , but... more

Hey all you double doodle owners, Can anyone tell me the best leash to get for 2 doodles?? Separate leashes are just not going to cut it as I found out this morning going to the vet. I almost landed on my butt!! Molly has lost a little weight at 36 lbs (was around 40) and Sam is 18 lbs and growing by the second!!!... more

I put him on a super long leash and let it go to try to work with him on "come" and "stay" That way I could grab him if he tried to make a breakaway into the woods! He knows both commands at home, but once out in public with distractions...he acts like he's never heard them before and ignores me. Any advice? "I'm... more

Molly and I want to thank everyone for their good thoughts and concern last week. She is doing GREAT! She had exploratory surgery (twisted intestines and perforated colon). They thought it was some fibrous material that she ingested. Possible stuffing from a toy or string from a rope toy. We got rid of all, but rubber ... more

Hi everyone, I have a 9 1/2 month old doodle, a 4 month doodle and I'm considering getting another. Am I crazy? I just love them so much, they are quite addicting. Does anyone have 3 doodles? How do you like it? Is it much more work than having 2? I've found that going from one to two was great because now the oldest... more

We're a little late showing Coopers happy pose after the Yankees won the World Series...but here he is sporting his human brother's series hat. He's just the cutest doodle EVER!

Eva visited Melody today for her first groom. I couldn't get many after pictures because she is sound asleep from her big day. This is normally her very active time of day when my boys get home from school but she is worn out! She smells so good and feels so soft! And now she can see again! Eva this morning- before... more

Friends forever.....The orangutan was in a rescue and not doing well. This old hound wandered in absolutely emaciated and the orangutan snapped to like his buddy had arrived. He stayed with the hound night and day until he was well and in the whole scenario, found a reason to live. They are now inseparable. Oh, the... more

Hey to all, There is nothing wrong with Wilson but he has developed a black spot on his tongue and was wondering if anyone else has had that happen with their puppy. It showed up about a month ago. He's full of vim and vigor and the vet just shrugs her shoulders about it so I'm not concerned, just interested. He's is... more

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new puppy on the 27th. This will be our first goldendoodle. Our son who's 6 wants a dog of his own so we read a lot and came to the conclusion a goldendoodle will be perfect for us. We had a Standard Poodle for 13 years that was the best dog but our son asked for a... more

Our baby boy should only be about 5 months. We would be cutting it close for him to be neutered. When will the next romp be in or near Orlando. Is this just a once a year thing? Sounds so very fun!

I finally was able to kick Momsy off her computer for a while. I told her she should take the evening off in honor of her second blogiversary, and she actually obeyed me. Wow! I should be known as the People Whisperer. Anyway, for those of you who don't know much about me, my name is Quintzy, and I was born in... more

Sheldon knows when I get my laptop bag out that I'm going to leave for work. So, when I set it down today, he jumped up on the chair and laid down on my bag so I wouldn't go. Look at that sad face! He makes it hard to leave. I tell him, "Mommy has to go to work" and he becomes dead weight so it's really hard to move... more

Has anyone had the experience of their doodle limping??? Rocco is now 6 months old, weighs 49 lbs. He's a big boy! The vet checked him out and said it's probably that he's growing so fast that there's calcium deposits causing it but he will outgrow it. There's a name for it but I didn't grasp it. On Fri. he's being... more

So, it looks like I and possibly Annie Oakley will be out in Burbank (LA area) around Thanksgiving - for about a week (Tues-Tues). I was wondering if anyone wanted to meet up? I know Holly Golightly loves meeting people. And I'm sure we'll be heading down to San Diego too. :) Let me know!
