We had the boys at the Vet today which is always a real fun time...they love it there (really). The Vet was with us for quite a while, and most of that time she was playing, hugging, and kissing them (yes, that's why they love it). She made a comment that made me laugh and got me thinking. She said "these guys are so different....Murphy is like the big, goofy Jock, and Guinness is like the little Nerd". She's absolutely right...she "nailed it".
Guinness is so serious about EVERYTHING. He is…

This summer, before we got our second Goldendoodle, we took a family vacation to Branson MO. We rented a condo. My parents liked the sound of the place so much they decided to get a condo as well. Unfortunately, our condo didn't allow Veruca to stay.. but theirs did. We were in the same complex, so we would come over to get Veruca and she would spend the night with them.
When our vacation was over, after hearing stories from my Mom of how wonderf

Today I officially became a Hopeless Doodle Addict!
This is such an honor! I'd like to thank Darwin, for being an inspiration and giving me lots of good material. Thanks to DH for allowing me to spend hours on my laptop with minimal complaining... thanks to all the DK members who have helped me along the way....
LOL. Seriously though, I'm really excited. It was about a year ago that I joined DK, and I have learned so much since then. Not only have I foun

Hi Doods! Yesterday I turned 10 months old.... mom says she can hardly believe it! I have been at home with her for 8 months now. It has been a while since I blogged and lots has happened, so I thought I would blog and update y'all (you know I live in Texas - right?) on what I have been up to!
A couple of months ago - my mom took me to the dog park! Well, now she takes me every Saturday morning - for 3 hours! My friends Malu, Knox, Captain, Guinness (Doodles) and Macy (yellow l

I'll preface this by saying that Porter always pees on top of his best friend's pee, and Porter is his friend's boss, eating and drinking first, among other things. And I kinda have always known that I am Alpha over Porter because he waits for my lead on entering, exiting, walking downstairs...etc., and if I correct him with any bit of seriousness, he pretty much flops onto his back.
Nonetheless, I wasn't sure what would happen when I peed in the woods during my hike with the doodles today :…

We tease about our "addiction" to DoodleKisses and our doodles, but we seriously are so lucky to receive such unconditional love back from our 'fur-kids'. After reading so many blogs about how much we love our dogs, and how we have dedicated our lives to loving them and caring for them, I thought I'd pass along this video someone sent ME today on Facebook.... I hope you enjoy it!

We finally got some photos taken of Darwin with a nice camera! A friend of the family brought her SLR over to get some family portraits, and took some lovely photos of Darwin afterwards. She also took ADORABLE photos of Darwin and my nephew Wes. It's so nice to have nice photos of Darwin!
Here are a few of my favorites.

You can’t keep a good Labradoodle down. We are learning that as we try to keep Gus calm and without any stress on his heart or lungs as the heartworm treatment does its job. Gus is still a puppy at heart and playing in the sprinklers on a hot day fills him with such a joyous exuberance for life that it’s hard to stop him.
We took him to the park today for a short walk. It was his first time to ride in my Passat rather than Tom’s roomier Jeep. H

Ned and Clancy met Camus at a romp in Encinitas, California today. Ned and Clancy had some advice for Camus. "Enjoy your new home and be a good boy." Camus said, " You betcha! I am lovin' life now. My new mom is the best."

Well, several days ago I finally, with much self talk and encouragement from DK got up the courage to try giving Tara a scissor cut. What I had not factored in accurately was Tara's tolerance level for being "messed with" and my excruciatingly slow methodology. Bad combo!
So here we are 4 days later. The first day I was able to get the top of her head cut. That was IT! Next day, under ears and down to collar level. Done. Third day I worked down her back about 1/3 of the way and

Many of us are not ashamed to stand up and say" My Name is ________ and I'm a doodle addict, however there are some side effects of being addicted to doodles and DK. Some are good, some not so much. I'll start with the good ones first.
I learn tons of stuff that is necessary to be a good doodle mom
I get to meet and chat with lots of new friends.
I get to share and feel good about all the doodles in need that find their forever families because of DK.
I get lots of

Yeah. After all the training, worrying, and early mornings, late nights. After all the no's , good girls, walk nicely, pennies in a mini diet pepsi can to stave off barking, barking, barking . . . Sheila finally "gets it" and has turned into the cute, wonderful dog I was always reading about on YOUR blogs. Not that we didn't always love her, we did, to pieces, but life is just so much nicer now that Sheila knows the rules (mostly) and we have our routines down pat. Man, for awhile there I really…

Why is it that every time, that's EVERY time!, I have stayed in a motel with my dogs, past and present, I am given a room at the bottom of a flight of stairs? Does the motel management want my dogs to be obnoxious? Do they want me to get no sleep? Do they think I like hearing all the conversations as people carry their many loads of luggage up and down the stairs? Do they think I like getting to hear everyone's footsteps as they travel above my head to their various rooms?
It was really…

We went over to my friend's house a week ago or so, and she introduced Darwin to Poe, her adorable little bunny. To be honest, I wasn't sure how Darwin would react so I sat right next to him as he approached the cage. His reaction was so cute! He sat and stared right at that bunny, wagging his tail. No barking, nervousness, or pawing the cage. Just watching it. He sat there for about 30 minutes. He would occasionally run over to us then run back to the cage (this is his way of trying to get us t…

Well, they say the first step in 'curing' your addiction is to admit it. So, here goes....
yes ~ I admit it... I am truly addicted to
Doodle Kisses! Last week when I joined our "Facebook" page, and went back to see exactly what the date was that I joined, I was amazed to see that it hasn't even been a year yet! I don't think I
ever learned so much information, or made so many 'friends' in less than a year in my entire life! And today, when I checked in on my pa…

I had a bad dream during the early hours of this morning...
I dreamed that I opened the door, and Koda bolted, he leaped over the wall and plunged 9 storeys to his death! I was histerical, sobbing and begging my DH to rush him to the emergency clinic so that the doctor could fix him up and make him well again :(
I woke up from my dream, sobbing! DH comforted me...
Zooey brought her binky (or rather Koda's new birthday binky toy) up to the bed and l
