"Welcome! Marley is ADORABLE!!
We rehomed/adopted our Cooper when he was 18 months (he just turned 2), so we didn't experience the early puppy life - that's good and bad. However, we do not regret - ever - our decision to adopt him. He is…"

During cleaning up outside for fall, my husband put some leftover suet in the firepit - well, guess who found it and started eating it?? My boy Cooper! He got ash/soot all over his chin, paws and…Continue

Ginny Nightingale commented on Karen&Don's blog post Grooming Disaster/SUCCESS"I groom doodles and with a bath, it takes 2.5 hours--don't know how anyone could do it faster--but it does depend on the thickness of the coat--my F1 takes less than an hour with her thin coat--my multigens have much more hair and so do the…"
Wendy and Myla commented on Karen&Don's blog post Grooming Disaster/SUCCESS"We found that when we brought Myla to the groomer she was totally stressed when we picked her up. We decided to get a good clipper and have been grooming her ever since. The first few times were alright (luckily their fur grows fast lol)…"

So, after the groomer shaved Cooper so that he was miserable(itching) - my husband & I decided that we would give it a try ourselves. Turns out, Cooper was awesome! We felt SO bad for our boy when we picked him up - I almost cried. The groomer said he was matted - which I dispute because I was meticulous when I brushed him, always making sure I could get to skin. I think, since it was her last before Christmas Eve, that she just wanted to get out early. Sorry, but that's my feeling.…See More
Karen&Don commented on Annie Starlight Dancer Hovis's group Cream and White Doodles"SOUTH BARK BLUEBERRY FACIAL!! Works great! After I read about it here, I ordered it because of the problems I've had getting Cooper's beard clean. I've only used it once, but I really noticed a difference right away. I'm anxious…"

Karen&Don replied to Haley, Yeti, and Phin's discussion Cold weather doodles!"We also live in southern Wisconsin, and since we just got Cooper 6 weeks ago (he's 19 months and he's "rehomed" with us - he's so great!), I am wondering how he will react to the cold. I guess we shall see. I think his coat…"
Karen&Don replied to Shari Becker's discussion To Summer Groom Or Not To Summer Groom? in the group Doodle Grooming"Thank you for mentioning the panting. We are new doodle "parents", and we were wondering why Cooper(19 months old; rehomed) pants a lot - especially after running around playing outside or inside. So happy to hear that it's…"

Karen&Don commented on Annie Starlight Dancer Hovis's group Cream and White Doodles"What a PRETTY girl! We just got our Cooper 6 weeks ago; he is now 19 months old. He was with another family and it didn't work out, but he's a perfect fit for us. We had him groomed once already, but the groomer had to cut him pretty short…"
Profile Information
- About Me:
- My husband and I are baby boomers who recently lost our lab. After a short time, we knew we needed another "family member". We were looking to rescue, however, we were fortunate enough to come across an add for a double doodle who needed a new home. As soon as we met Cooper, we knew he was the one for us and vice versa! He is intelligent, funny, energetic, and affectionate. We just love him!!
- What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
- Cooper is a double doodle-Mom is a golden doodle and Dad is a labradoodle. He was purchased from a reputable breeder by his first family.
- Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
- We have always had labs and goldens- we loved both breeds, so add that with no shedding and he was perfect for us!
- What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
- We love to play games outside as well as inside! He learned hide & seek with his ball in no time. Plus, he's quite the jumper, so anything you throw in the air, he'll catch!! However, playing fetch is a challenge- he'll fetch it alright, but don't expect to get the ball back without some teasing. He also loves rolling his large exercise ball around our large fenced in backyard! That's quite a site😊
Lastly, we love just relaxing with him in the evening. Cooper is such a sweet, sweet boy❤️
- Who grooms your doodle(s)?
- A professional groomer
- Relationship Status:
- Married
