Here Is Their Secret!

Even though this puppies are small, they are very resourceful. In order to see out of their whelping box to check out the stuff going on in the house around them, they have learned to sit and stand on the pig rail. The pig rail is a railing put around the perimeter of the whelping box so mom can't sit right up against the wall and squish her puppies.

Our puppies have found a better use for it!!
Check them out!

Some Cute Puppy Pictures

The puppies have been more and more active lately. They are up and walking around and playing with each other. They are so cute and funny to watch when they wrestle each other around. We have updated individual pictures on the website. So I decided to add seom group playing and resting pictures.

Wonka's Trip to The Mountains

It was such a beautiful day in Sunday we decided to take a trip out to the mountains. Since Lucy is expecting and Joey is nursing Wonka was the only one that got to go with us.

He had so much fun exploring. We took him on a trail and he found lots of sticks and all sorts of cool stuff to play with. We played hide and seek behind the trees and he loved feeling like a hound dog sniffing out everyone's spot. He truly had a blast.

At the overlook he quite enjoyed poking his head through the railing to try to get a closer look. I guess he is not afraid of heights!

He was all tuckered out by days end. He had such an adventure!

Doodle Romp Cancelled.... Again!!

Looks like rain again today. We are going to cancel the romp for this morning. It's just no fun playing in the rain. We will try again in May, when the weather is more predictable. Stay Tuned!

March For Babies

Hey everyone,

We are participating in the March For Babies walk on Saturday April 26th. We want to support the March of Dimes effort to give every baby a healthy start. If you would like to join us in supporting this great and worthy cause you can click on this link http:/www.marchforbabies.org/trgerman and sponsor our walk. Maybe we'll take one of our dogs....hmmm the pregnant one, probably not.....the nursing one definitely not....or as our Guardian mom calls him "Wild Man" Wonka? I don't know if his little legs would carry him all that way. We'll see.

Thanks in advance for any of you that choose to donate to the walk!!

Doodle Romp Reminder!

Don't forget that this Saturday at 10:00 am is the rescheduled date for our Doodle Romp. Please join us if you can. We'd love to see all you Doodle lovers and owners there. See my previous Doodle Romp announcement for more info on the location.

Doodle Romp Cancelled!

Hey all you doodle lovers. We decided late last night to cancel the doodle romp for this weekend. The majority of our families didn't want to take a chance with the weather and didn't want to wait till the last minute to let us know their decision. We will reschedule for next Saturday, the same time and place. Let's all hope that it will be a beautiful sunny day. I am really looking forward to catching up with our puppies and maybe meeting some new doodle owners too.

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

Doodle Romp Update

Hey Everyone,

Just an FYI for everyone. In the case of rain on Saturday April 12th, we will have the doodle romp on Saturday April 19th instead. I will post on this blog this Saturday morning whether we are canceling or not. Check back to keep updated!

Hope to see all you doodle owners there!

The Puppies Have Arrived

I will put many more pictures up later on the blog and on the website. I wanted to give everyone a taste of how beautiful these puppies are.

A little milk chocolate kiss.

Oh Wonka......

Didn't I say he was a ladies man? I have been lucky enough to get some pictures of him while he's snuggling with the girl's. Usually as soon as I get up, the dogs jump up too. So to actually sneak away to get the camera without them following is rare. I think they are so cute when they are cuddling.

Lucy and her Beau

Just had to show this cute picture of Lucy and her pal. Wonka is such a ladies man!! He just loves to snuggle with the girls. I was finally able to catch him in the act.

Joey is in her final days!

Joey is due any day now. She has taken to spending most of her time laying at our feet. She is too big to run around with the other dogs like she usually does. She'll play with them for a few minutes and then she gives up and slides down into a laying position and relaxes!

We are very excited for this litter to arrive. We will post pictures and info as soon as they do. Or shortly after. We are expcecting that they will arrive late night/early morning as puppies usually do.

In the meantime, look at that big belly. How many puppies do you think?

Doodle Romp Around The World

We would like to announce a spring Doodle Romp Around The World that we are organizing along with Corinth Golden Doodles. The International Doodle Owners Group began the infamous Romp Around the World (RAW) campaign last year. The goal is to have as many doodle groups as possible plan romps in April this year to bring awareness to the IDOG Rescue program.

Our romp will be held at The Canine Corner at Cleveland park in Greenville SC on Saturday April 12th starting at 10 am. All doodle lovers and their dogs (of any variety) are invited to come for a time of romping and getting to know one another. Please CLICK HERE to read information about the dog park and its rules. This will be an informal and fun time for all.

Please consider supporting IDOG Rescue with a donation, by purchasing some RAW items or volunteering your time .

We hope to see you all there!

We're Having Puppies!!!

OK everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for.....Drumroll please.....We have confirmed Joey's pregnancy!! We went to the Vet's yesterday and got an ultrasound. The Dr. said he could see at least 6 little pups. We are so excited. We can't wait to meet these pups when they are born. Joey has the best temperament and personality and Wonka is so charming and super friendly that we think their puppies are going to be amazing.

As usual Joey got lots of attention at the vets. All the other patients just oohed and ahhed over her. She is such a little angel when we go out. She walks so well on her leash and sits so prim and proper next to us while we wait. When other dogs come around and they are pulling their owners around or trying to get to her to sniff her, she just kind of lifts an eyebrow, happily sniffs back, but remains seated and calm. People just can't get over how well behaved she is. And of course they think she is adorable as well.....just had to brag a little....

We will update the blog again as Joey progresses with her pregnancy. The expected date of arrival is March 29th!! That is just around the corner!!
