I don't know how to end this. Since I'm out of the Labradoodle business it doesn't make sense to keep this diary going. Perhaps I should end it with a recap. Oh boy...how in the world could I recap these past 6 years? There were so many ups and downs. With the exception that is destroyed our house and broke up our family, I wouldn't trade it for the world. It allowed me to stay at home and

Our bathroom sink water pipes burst today while Michelle and I were at work. I wonder what Velvet and the Chi's were thinking while the water was gushing out like a gyser. Actually it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Most of the water ran under the bathroom cabinet and into the basement. The water ran into the Christmas storage room and left about 1 inch of standing water. Most of the

It has been so long since I've posted that I almost forget how. We didn't keep the North American Retriever puppy very long. I am totally and completely out of the Labradoodle business now. We have Velvet who will be 10 years old either tomorrow or April 1st. We also have 2 Chihuahuas and 2 kitty boys. I moved out of Michelle's house last June and moved in a townhouse. A couple months ago

Look what we got yesterday! This is a North American Retriever (1/2 Labradoodle 1/2 Goldendoodle) we are temporarily guardian home for Helene of Westwood Labradoodles.getting ready for going in her crate at night.she looks so much like her new sister and best bud, our Chihuahua puppy.We can't decide on a name.

Indy's mom sent me this note today: "Indy is doing great! We brought her home yesterday after 3 days in the doggy hospital. They had to remove her spleen in the operation..but my husband does not have a spleen...so I guess she does not need it much. She also had a heart arrthyrma..I guess due more to the removal of the spleen. She is on heavy meds and is starting to eat again. So every thing

Some of my past puppies have been writing to me these last couple of weeks. It has been so nice. I feel like a grandma sitting here in the quiet house in the morning hours looking at pictures and smiling while the rest of the family is still asleep. This is who we have heard from:This is Beau, from Tinker Belle and Da Vinci's 11-16-2006 litter .Beau is a North American Retriever. Tinker Belle

I'm going to be a temporary guardian for another breeder. I'm really excited. I'm getting a female parti, brown/white/, North American Retriever puppy. She is so cute. I love the North American Retrievers. They are 1/2 Labradoodle and 1/2 Goldendoodle.

This is from her family: "Indy (Andria and Koby) 4/15/05 was taken to the hospital yesterday diagnosed with Canine Bloat. We caught it in time.

What do people with biPolar that are finally medicated and somewhat rational do? Do I go back and apologize to everyone and make ammends? Is there like a 12 step bipolar program? Do people with epilepsy apologize for having seizures? Do diabetics apologize when they are hypoglycemic? This isn't the same thing, or is it? No it is not the same.

Peanut Butter started her period today. I would love to breed her to a tiny poodle for Poochies. Anybody want a Chihuahua in a few months? I have to say that I love me some Doodles...but chihuahua are ever so much easier to breed and raise.

This has been an extremely emotionally rough week for me. I thought about driving off a bridge on the way home today. Mom talked me in to making a phone call for help and Michelle took me to a psych crisis center. Today is Bryony's 17th birthday. Happy birthday HunBun I love you!

Now what do I do? Do I make an end of the diary entry? I've been thinking on this for a long time and decided not to. As long as I have Velvet it won't be the end. Plus, I do have more paperwork to complete. I need to make booklets for all the guardian dogs and officially sign over the dogs to the families. Plus...well writing in a diary is therapeutic for me. Since I stopped being

This morning I got up bright and early before the dawn lights and took the puppies to the airport. We have a new airport that is farther away. The cargo is at the old one and I was happy knowing I wouldn't have to drive to the new one. Well, I was driving along listening to the radio and contemplating making a final diary entry when I found myself half way to the new airport. If I was a

We went to the pet supply store today to get the crates to ship Harley and Barnie home in. We also got a few other things. It cost almost $200, man! At this rate I'll be paying these people to take the puppies. That is how it goes. I know it at this point. I've been doing this for 6 years now.

Harley and Bernie went to the vet today for a thorough check up and to get a health certificate for their flights home. Harley weighs 23 pounds and Bernie weighs 25 pounds. They are big boys. It is funny how they are so much bigger than the pups from Lacey and DaVinci's 2nd litter. It cost over $100! Man, I was not a happy camper. I surely do miss my old vet in Chesterfield. Today's trip

Ok, this is it. There is no changing my mind now. Lexie went to the guardian family. They are her forever family, not me. The other 2 boys came with me. Harley is going to move to California and Bernie is going to move to New Jersey. They are both going to families with 3 children and all 3 will have great spoiled lifes.

Lacey and DaVinci's guardian family does want Lexie. We are going to give her to them and they are going to give us Harley and Bernie.

Today a puppy goes home to Illinois. A family in California wants a puppy. Now there is yet another family who wants a puppy. They are in NJ. What is a breeder to do? Do we even have an available puppy? I told the guardians they could have Harley, their mom wants Bernie, and just offered Lexie to them. I will ask if they want all those puppies.

I made a mistake. I can't handle another puppy right now. Four dogs are just too much for me. Lexie is a great puppy and she is keeping her poos on the pee pads which is great. She also doesn't chew stuff, and is quiet. ...but still... Just the smell of her poo brings flashbacks and floods of yucky emotions back. I just can't handle it now. I emailed the guardians to see if they want her.

Now there is a family in California that wants Harley. They are set on him. Hmmm...what about the guardian family? I asked, and they are willing to give him up for the right family and this seems like a good one.Harley is a good puppy

Marley it is. The family from IL has decided on Marley as their perfect puppy. Now they have a few days to get everything set up to bring him home Friday.

Somebody wants a puppy, but she doesn't know which one. We still have Harley (maybe, if the guardian family doesn't keep him), Bernie (maybe, if the guardian grandmother doesn't keep him), and Marley. If this family takes Marley and the gaurdians keep the other two, we are finished. That is exciting.

I've decided. I want Lexie. This is my last opportunity, and by golly, I want a puppy from Lacey and DaVinci. I haven't found anybody willing to keep her for a few years and then give her back. Of course, I haven't asked. The guardian parents met me halfway to bring her to me.Just look at herwho could resist that face?

This evening we went to visit Lacey, DaVinci, and the puppies. It was time to give them their second set of shots. Lacey and her sister Chloe got a shot too. The puppies are so big and beautiful. I'm really resisting the idea of bringing Lexie home. I want her soooo badly, but I don't want a puppy right now. What I would love is to have somebody raise her for about 3 years, then give her back

Betty went home this evening. She went to the guardian family that has Honey. They want Honey to have someone to play with and since she (Honey) is being spayed before she has any puppies, now is a good time to get a pup.

Today was Emma's go-home day. We got up at the bright early hour of 3:30. Somehow, and I'm not sure how, we cut it close and didn't get to the airport until 6. That was cutting it a little too close for my comfort, yet it was good not having to wait long. Going through security was a breeze. I do it everyday at work; but at work they also do a pat-down in addition to the metal detector and

Today when I got home from work I was greeted by Velvet, Peanut, Bradley, and Lexie. Emma (Pearl) and Jellie were in the playpen whining to get out. There was the old familier poopy smell. I took all of them but Jellie outside then back in and cleaned. There was poo and pee and torn up paper and chewed cords and a chewed up SD card full of Michelle's photos.

Today the first of Lacey/DaVinci's puppies got spayed. ...sniff....my babies are growing up. There! I haven't said that in a long time. The puppy on the right, the black pup, is the one I was going to keep as my very own pet. Now her name is Emma and she has a family waiting for her in NH. She was the very first pup to be chosen.

Emma is going to fly in the cabin of the plane with me to her new home on Friday. Today I bought her carrier bag and put her in it for a little bit so she can get used to it. She did really well and didn't cry or bark or anything.

Today we went to Lacey and DaVinci's home to visit the puppies. We brought two of the pups home with us. One of them is named Pearl. She has a perfect fleece black coat. She is beautiful and is going to look like a black version of Lacey. If she doesn't get chosen by a family I'm going to keep her as my very own pet.

That's it, I'm done, I can't take any more. Everytime a puppy leaves and goes to her new home she takes a piece of my heart with her. Everytime one dies he takes a chunk of my heart. Today Walle didn't recover from the Anesthesia from his neuter surgery. We went to the hospital to be with him. Michelle ended up staying a couple hours with him while I tended to the human kids. I went back up

This was just like old times. I groomed Velvet while watching Law and Order this evening. I loved that. It is very therapeutic. Velvet likes it too.I woke up after midnight and just couldn't get back to sleep. I ended up letting Velvet outside to pee, feeding and watering the puppies and dogs, and hanging out with the pups for a bit. The boys go in the morning to get neutered. Ginter (now

Ewwww...when's the last time I talked about nasty poo? When Michelle cleaned up a tiny poo in the puppy area (the Chihuahua's poos are fabously tiny)she asked "What is this? Is it a worm?" I went over to inspect, and sure enough, there were 2 big fat worms in the poo. Needless to say all the dogs and pups were promptly de-wormed.

Lacey and DaVinci's guardian family is raising their litter of puppies. The dad called to schedule the spay/neuters, but was told the pups have to be at least 8 weeks old to be done. This is a new place we are taking them.

Bessie is going to retire now instead of have more puppies. There were many things I took in to consideration in this decision. The main thing...I'm not excited about having another litter of puppies. That in itself is reason enough not to have more puppies. We still have all these Lacey/DaVinci puppies with not a one spoken for. I do not want to go down that road again of having too many

Bessie has an appointment with the vet tomorrow for her progesterone test. Not doing that is the mistake I made with her last cycle. I thought if we just went by the day of the cycle we'd be o.k. Well, we weren't. We drove her all the way to Kentucky to breed, only to find out we missed her fertile period. Still not excited about another litter of puppies.

Well, I contacted the breeder with the boy I tried to breed Bessie with last time. ...Sigh...she doesn't have him anymore. She does have a couple of others that just might do the job. I'll think it over. I'm still not excited about another litter of puppies just now.

Ahhh! Bessie is coming in heat already. Man, I'm so not ready for more puppies. On the other hand, it will be a couple months before she has them, if she gets pregnant. Oh, ok., I'll call Kathy in KY to see if her cutie boy is up for a job. I'm wanting to breed Bessie to a little Goldendoodle and have North American Retrievers.

Today was the day Peanut and Bradley's puppies got weighed, first round of immunizations, and microchipped. Gunter "the crow" is the biggest and 2 pounds 9 ounces. Jelli is the smallest and 1 pound 13 ounces. It is so hard to imagine that they are old enough to go to their new homes. I'm not ready to let them go just yet. I'd like to keep them until they are de-sexed and that will probably

Ever since I got Velvet I have known I that wanted to keep a puppy out of one of the last litters from her or one of her daughters. Now is the time. Lacey is the last I have from Velvet and this is her last litter. This is also DaVinci's last litter. He is the perfect doodle boy and Velvet is the perfect doodle girl (and so is Lacey)...so what could possibly be better than a Lacey/DaVinci

Peanut Butter is back to her pre pregnant self. She is playful and wants to sleep with us and is annoying and...well...it is so good to have her back. Her poops are a healthy solid and her fur on her bum is growing back. Her pups' poos are all solid and looking great too. Speaking of the pups' poos, they are doing very well with house training. The kitchen is blocked off so they hang out in the

We paid a visit to Lacey, DaVinci, Cloe (a Deni/Koby adult puppy pet that lives in the same home) and the puppies. They are as beautiful and their pups from Lacey's first 2 litters. Lacey looks great, you'd never even know she has puppies. DaVinci is looking dapper. They say he is a different dog since he got neutered last month. He has calmed way down and sleeps all the time.We weighed and

Just look at these puppies. They are so cute and so tiny. It is hilarious to see them running around and playing and doing the same things as the doodle puppies, but in micro form.This is Ginter (Gunter), also known as The Crow. He is the first born and the biggest. He weighs a whopping two pounds.Here is Jelliehere is another picture of herShe is the second born, the only girl, and the smallest

Peanut started having diarrhea again. She is no where near as bad as last time. It just started yesterday and is not total liquid (yet). I left work early (I still looove my job) and took her to the vet that is less than a block from my house. I really like this vet. It is the first time I met her. She called the vet hospital were PB was before and found out what all they tested her for and

Michelle's favorite puppy's name is Fred. Right from the very beginning Fred was the most talkative and most mobile one in the pack. He seemed perfectly normal and healthy. Over time he gradually became skinny and got a big head. Yesterday he started crying more, and by night time he yelled whenever he was awake. Today he started screaming whenever he was awake. We can no longer put off

Oh my goodness! I just found out Lacey had puppies at her guardian's house last week. I didn't even know for sure she was pregnant. Lacey and DaVinci live at the same guardian home. Their parents tried to keep them apart during her cycle so she wouldn't get pregnant this cycle. Well stuff happens and they did get hooked up once or twice. That is all it took. She has 7 puppies. She has:1

Peanut Butter got to come home from the hospital today. Let's see...a Sunday night shift trip to the ER and a 24 hour stay in the hospital...do you think maybe it was expensive? Yes, as a matter of fact it was. It was around $550.00 or so. We are going to continue syringe feeding until PB feels better. I tried tube feeding them, but they choked more then the doodle puppies.

Over the past couple of days, PB's stools have become more and more diarrhea'ish. By this evening is was pure liquid and just constantly coming out of her like a faucet. She did not have control over her bowels. The poor doggie had this crazed look in her eyes and she was licking her back end raw. She is so little that I knew she was dehydrated and couldn't wait until tomorrow to go to the

Oh man, I so should know better. I should have either slept with Peanut Butter and her puppies, or let them sleep with us. I knew better. Instead, I put them in a big crate in another room, put my ear plugs in (grrrr I was so wrong), and went to bed. When Michelle got up this morning and checked on them, she brought a dead puppy to me. A skull-cap size of the head was gone and one of the

Although she did pass her hip testing, I decided not to keep her back for breeding. I love my day job and want to scale back my breeding program.-DaVinci had surgery to remove some skin cancer.

Yumm...erp! Poor Velvet and Peanut didn't get to have any chicken the entire time the puppies were here. It was high time for them to have some. Mmmm...when I took the chicken out of the fridge it about knocked me over with the smell. Well, that is a bit of an exageration, but it was smelling ripe. Velvet and Peanut thought it smelled divine. They also seemed to think it tasted wonderful.

Wow, no puppies here. No Jillie Beans here (Jill and Bry spent the night at their dad's). It was just Velvet and Peanut the the bedroom with me. Peanut made too much noise and too much moving around. She kept burrowing under the covers and digging at the mattress. Hmmm...Michelle wasn't here...Peanut's furry little doggie bottom got to sleep upstairs with Kristin.

The puppies have slept the night through without much of a peep for the past couple of nights. They also haven't messed in the crate much. Now that they are used to it here, it is time for them to go back home. It has been nice spending time with them and getting to know each of them. I've been toying with the idea of keeping Andy and Reba here until they find homes. That really isn't

Today all the pups had another round of deworming, shots, heartworm/flea/tick treatment, and got weighed. Oh man, I forgot to trim their nails. I miss Liuda, she always trimmed their nails on bath days and shot days. Did I ever tell you Liuda had her baby? She has a healthy boy.

Carol spent the night at the animal hospital because she is getting spayed tomorrow. These guys are so big. They range in weight from 13-17 pounds. Actually, they are much smaller than Velvet's

After work today we had to fix a place up for the puppies. Francie's and Chevy's puppies are coming here for a vacation. We set up 2 puppy playpen areas and 2 big crates. The back yard is completely fenced in, so they will be able to go out and play. We better enjoy this last night of sleep.

Today I went in to work at 6:30 in the morning. I was really hoping to get off early since I have an early morning flight to catch. Michelle and I are going to San Francisco this weekend. anyway...It turned out that no one was going to do the wound stuff tomorrow so I had to stay until all the reports and paperwork for the week was finished. I didn't get off work until almost midnight.

Velvet hasn't gone to work with me for awhile. I've been waiting to see what my new was going to be. It seems I will be able to work it that I will do dressing changes in the morning, go home for lunch, come back and do paperwork in the afternoon. This afternoon I brought Velvet back with me for a few minuts. She was excited of course and wanted to go see everybody. Well...I ended up taking

Velvet and Peanut have been enjoying raw chicken this past week. Peanut had never had it before. She loves it and does very well with it. She gets the necks and wings and Velvet gets the bigger pieces. Michelle was amazed, and probably a bit dismayed, that her little peanut is fierce enough to chomp down some raw chicken and bones.

Umm...hmm...I guess I only got one day to learn everything there is to know about being the Wound Care Nurse. I'll be able to figure it out. There are lots of resources. It is just trying to figure out all the paperwork and the forumulary and etc... sorry...this has nothing to do with doodles...

Yeah, today I got to round with the nurse who has been the Wound Care Nurse. I felt an adreniline rush. This position is going to be a good fit.

Velvet and Peanut Butter are so funny. Peanut is this little 5 pound Chihuahua thing and Velvet is this big 80 pound real dog. Yet...this evening Peanut was standing just inside our bedroom barking and growling at Velvet as if telling her she is NOT to come in. Velvet just stood there looking at her and then at me as if saying "I will do what you say, but please, I really want to come in".

Someday soon I will get to start my new position at work. I'm excited. The hours are flexible so I'm hoping to be able to go in early and leave early enough to be able to go spend more time with the puppies.

Before I left on vacation, I told my boss I was likely not going to stay in their employ. The hours are too long and it requires too much on-call time. It just takes way too much time away from my Labradoodles (oh, and away from my family too). They offered me a couple different positions to stay and asked me to think about while I was away. I thought about it, and today I accepted the Wound

Yeah, Opie has a forever family...but man, what a day. The family was supposed to come before noon. (this is Father's Day and I was kind of thinking about seeing my father who lives a couple hours away) Noon came and went and I didn't hear from them. I'm such a chicken when it comes to making phone calls. I have telephonaphobia, don't know why, it doesn't make sense, but that is how it is.

One of the pups is going home tomorrow! We aren't sure exactly which one. Today I made the puppy books and gathered up the stuff to send home with them. I did the paperwork and books for all of them so they will each be ready to go when they have found their family. I was up until almost midnight getting them ready. Wow, it reminded me of old times. Tomorrow I'm taking it over to Lincoln

The second group went in for spay/neuter. Today it was Mickey, Reba, and Ann. They did great too.Yeah! I got to get Velvet today. She was sooo happy to see me, as I was her.Michelle picked up Colonel Stink today. He has renal failure, but he looks much better. His colors are nice and dark.

The first round of Francie's puppies got spayed/neutered today. Today it was Lucy, Andy, and Opie. They did really well. They went in a little after 8:30 this morning, and the tech called shortly after noon to say they are ready to go home.We are home now. We got home too late to go get Velvet and Colonel Stink. Michelle did go get Peanut Butter.

Francie's puppies are named: Mickey, Andy, Opie, Lucy, Reba, Ann, Miranda, Maureen. Can you figure it out? Usually I pick on older TV show (from Nick at Nite), but this time I didn't. Since Francie and Chevy live in the same guardian home and their family is raising the pups, they named them. They didn't do a particular show...They did name them after actors-actressess...Francie has red hair

Oh my, it seems my credibility has been compromised. Yup, someone emailed me to let me know that I have a picture of newborn puppies in a shoe on my website and that takes away from my credibility. She knows this because she and her family are interested in getting a Labradoodle and have read that breeders need to keep visitors away because they bring kooties in on their shoes. Here is the

This morning Teri was leaving her house to take Mother to the dr when she remembered something. She ran back in the house and didn't close the door all the way. Velvet nosed her way outside and ran down to our old house again. Once again she sat on the front porch in front of the door to wait for me to open it. Hmm, she would have had a very long wait. It was raining outside. Poor Teri, by

Hmmm, let's see...what happened today that was somewhat dog related? Well, when we were at the beach in Galveston, TX we saw this cute little doggie that looked part Chihuahua part mini Dachshund. When Michelle saw him she started missing Peanut whole bunches. She loves that little doggie. I got so burned today.

Velvet misses the old house. She is staying with Teri while we are on vacation. Teri lives 3 doors down from the old house (the Lincoln Manor house). Today Teri though she'd see if Velvet would go from the front door to the back yard without having to be onleash. She opened the door, went out with Velvet, and zoom...Velvet made a B-line for the old house. She sat on the front porch in front

I can see for miles and miles of Texas... We are finally in Texas. Man, I sure do prefer flying, but this has been an o.k. road trip so far. Teri sent an email to announce that Velvet finally peed on leash. I've not been able to get her (Velvet) to pee when out on a walk because she just won't go if she has a leash on. What a big break through. See? It is possible to teach an old dog new

Road trip, road trip, we are on our way to Texas. We actually got on the road at 6:30 this morning. By 8:30 Jill was crying and saying she wanted to go home. Thank goodness that was only a brief moment. The girls did well today. We were checked in to our hotel by 6:00 this evening. We are staying in Little Rock, AR. Man, this is a high priced flea-bag hotel. I'm normally not picky, but if

I'm so old. We spent the day today getting ready for our road trip. Michelle's daughter is graduating from high school in Texas on Saturday. Michelle, her mom and dad and their little dog, Bryony, Jill, and I are all going together in my van. We will be bringing her daughter, Kristen, home to live with us. This is so exciting. I've never been a step parent before. We took our pets to various

So, I got off way late last night and told the boss I wasn't going to be in early today. Still...bright and early at 9:00 she called to see where I was. It seems she really didn't mean it when she said if I have to work a double I can take the next day off. I didn't intend to take off, just didn't plan on coming in very early. I told her I'd be there in about 1 1/2 hours. Then I high-tailed

Man...I got stuck working a double shift today. We had a call-in, couldn't find another nurse to cover...and that meant I had no choice but to work it. Got off after midnight-thirty. I've had my girls for 3 days now and have had to work doubles on two of those days. Bryony already went back to her dad's house. Why should she stay in Indy if I'm going to be at work all the time. No way...

Wow, Teri picked Lacey up from her guardians this morning and drove her to Iowa. They met Kristy, the other breeder, who took Lacey to her house and got her settled in. Once settled, Kristy had to go back to work for a few hours. Kristy said when she got home Lacey had already had 2 puppies. She then had 7 more puppies. Kristy said Lacey seemed to have the easiest time of any dog she has had

Yeah! I got to go pick up Jill and Bryony. They are out of school for the summer and are mine for the summer. Jill and Peanut sure do love each other. It is so cute watching them.My sister Teri came over to trade vehicles with me. She is taking my van to drive Lacey to Iowa. I'd really rather not ship Lacey to Iowa in her late stage of pregnancy. I'm afraid it might throw her in labor.

Today was Velvet's first day to get to go to work with me. She was sooo excited when I got her leash and she saw she was going to go with me. Even though she had never been in that nursing home before, she behaved perfectly. I kept her with me for a couple hours then took her back home. She should start out slowly.
