Profile Information
- About Me:
- Math teacher and dog fanatic. My other hobbies are hiking, photography, lapidary, silversmith, digital painting, fishing. I had the best dog ever to share that with me and lost her to kidney failure in October(2010). She was half yellow lab(mom) and half golden retriever(dad).
- What Type of Doodle(s) do you have? What are their names? Tell us about your doodle(s) or any other pets you have!
- I'm getting a labradoodle puppy the first week of March(2011). I have first pick from a litter of 11 F1b standard labradoodles. I am leaning toward two of the darker females with the kinky hair, but a large male with a smoother coat has also caught my eye. My profile picture is a digital painting from a photo I took when I went to the breeder's place last week. Needless to say, I cannot wait even though I know puppy training takes a lot of time. I've done it before though and wouldn't miss the bonding.
- Where did you get your doodle(s)?
- Breeder
- Why did you choose a doodle rather than another breed or mix?
- Swimming ability and able to withstand wet climates. I live right on the edge of a rain forest trail that I hike every day. I was hesitant at first due to my misconception of the poodle breed, but after learning the history of the standard poodle(gun/water dogs), I knew a labradoodle was for me.
- What are Your Favorite Things to Do With Your Doodles?
- Swim, hike, travel the western states looking for rocks & having an adventure.... future tense.
- Who grooms your doodle(s)?
- It will be me & I have already invested in the equipment.

I think about 2 inches is a good length for ease of care. It also should be enough to hold some insulating air I think. And those temps. are not really low for a doodle. You are so diligent, combing and brushing daily.

I think you do a good job on the videos but your still pictures are great!! I loved Cedar swimming and I was sure it was a calendar shoo in but the apple tree was wonderful.

Hi Mike,
Your place sounds lovely. I love all of those trees!!!!!
Eva Cassidy! Fabulous... I have downloaded what I could find of hers on You Tube. She was so very gifted...just lovely.
Yes, the back surgery was a bit different than what I could find here. The place where I went does minimally invasive procedures only. I could not find anyone locally that did this. They can do 4 procedures to one disc space, if needed, and that is all they do...spine surgery. It was a life changing procedure for me, as I had gotten very impaired. I did not have general anesthesia, they used meds given for the colonoscopy type procedures. That was good, as I generally get nauseated with anesthesia. My Father was an Orthopedic surgeon and he had advised me to avoid surgery if possible. This was no longer something I could put off. I had pretty debilitating spinal stenosis caused by a herniated disc and stenosis of the foramina and facet joints. I have another disc that looks bad on MRI, but I don't have symptoms like I did with the other, so that was left alone. I may have to deal with that someday. If you ever have to consider this, I would highly recommend the clinic I went to. It was an out-patient procedure. I hope they build a center in the NW, or that the Orthopedists here begin routinely do these surgeries.
I hope you are enjoying your NW fall day! I am sipping on hot cider after my Doodle walk in the park....gorgeous!
