Gertie is about to POP!

So today I got ready to go to work and went about my normal routine of saying my goodbyes to Gertie. I offered her a treat on my way out the door and asked her to look after the house for me while I was gone. She came up to me and looked at me with those big brown alluring eyes and it was as if she was saying, "Mama, don't leave me home today"! Next thing I knew I was taking her to work with me, head hanging out the window and her hair blowing in the cool breeze. It was amazing how much energy filled her tired body after I had said, "want to go for a ride". It was if she knew what she was doing! Hmm......

Gertie had so much fun at school with 36 children today attending the after school care program she couldn't catch any zzzzzzzz.......! She was so patient and even laid down and let the children feel her kicking puppies. The children were so excited to feel life moving around in her big tummy.

After walking in the door it took all the energy she had left to make it to the fireplace for a cozy rest. Zane cuddled up too for a quick snooze.

Let It snow, let it snow, let it snow .......

The kids went out today to make a snow man while Gertie sat by the front glass door peaking out to catch a glimpse of what her human friends were doing. She wanted nothing more than to be outside with them, however mom thought it wouldn't be a good idea with all the ice she could slip on. I eventually caved when I saw her sad little eyes wanting to be outside with her buddies. She had so much fun watching them while they made their snowman, never once thinking to leave the yard or chase after a neighbor cat. She is a our good dog!

A PUPPY'S PRAYER

A PUPPY'S PRAYER

Now I lay me down to sleep

the King-sized bed is soft and deep

I sleep right in the center groove

my human being can hardly move!

I've trapped their legs, they're tucked in tight

and here is where I pass the night

No one disturbs me or dares intrude

till morning comes and "I want food!"

I sneak up slowly to begin

my nibbles on my mommy's chin.

For the morning's here and it's time to play

I always seem to get my way.

Your almost there Gertie, about 15 days to go!

F1B Goldendoodle Puppies are almost here! This winters liter of goldendoodle puppies are due around the 10th of December just in time to pick yours out for Christmas. We are praying for healthy happy little pups who are just like their mum, sweet as sweet can be and very smart!

Our puppies are F1b goldendoodles which is an F1 goldendoodle bred back to a poodle. When they are bred back to a poodle it is to create a dog that has a coat that is closer to being totally non-shedding and hypo-allergenic. These F1b goldendoodles fit in well with most families that suffer from allergies. they are 25% golden retriever and 75% poodle.

Gertie’s tummy is growing

Today we saw the first signs of Gertie’s puppies growing.  Her belly is finally starting to get bigger and we are so excited to see these pups.  She is sleeping more now and enjoys all the tummy rubs she can get.  Here’s one of our photos of her camping in the great outdoors.

Anxiously Awaiting Puppies (20-25 days to go)

Beautiful, sweet Gertie girl is due soon and we are so excited to meet her puppies! We are praying for healthy lives to be born with a smooth, easy delivery for Gertie. Not too much to ask for, right?! :) Yesterday I got out the clippers and shaved Gert's belly. We are gearing up for these little ones with puppy proofing the home and preparing a warm and cozy whelping box for her pups. I think if Gertie had it her way she would have them on our bed, one of her favorite places to be. Here's a photo of Gertie sporting her new shaved belly, she was too shy to give us a full belly shot.

Photo shots

One of our favorite photos of Gertie. She was happy to sit and watch the boys fish. Each time they pulled one out of the water she would come wagging her tail to see what was on the end of the hook.

We love this photo of Gertie sledding down the dunes. She is so funny! She was at the top of the hill before any of us. Just eager for us to get to the top. We entered this photo in a contest along with some others. The winner will be featured in a doodle calendar. We'll keep all her fans posted!
