Oodles of Fun

About Me!

I'm Angel, a purebreed poodle. I know the book is called Poodle AND Doodle, but this blog should be all about ME. I'm the true star in the family, you know. I go every few weeks to the groomer to get beautified, and I do my nails every morning. The other dogs don't even go to the groomer. Mama Donna adopted me after my first owner's cat tried to treat me like a mouse. After getting shook around a few times, I was ready to leave. At the time I only weighed about three pounds. I'm up to about twelve pounds now, so that makes me a lightweight in this house, but I'm still the boss. Just ask me.

My owner, Donna Shepherd, wrote the book Poodle & Doodle. It's about me (of course), but I have to admit, just as much about the 'new' dog, a labradoodle. In the book, she is a 'he' named Scruffy, but in real life, her name is Sadie. Just her head is almost as big as I am!

Addison County Humane Society

Mama Donna watched this video and oo'ed and awww'ed through the whole thing. It's about a shelter that takes in strays and unwanted animals and places them with new families. A very good thing.

Just What We Need - Another Sadie!

Mama Donna's friend, Cheryl, has a lab named Sadie. Her Sadie is just like mine - getting into trouble all the time! Labs sure do have a lot of energy.

The last photo was taken when Cheryl caught Sadie when she was 5 months old, running around the house with the Fruit Loops box on her head that had been left on the counter. She stuck her head in trying to enjoy the last couple of ‘loops’ in the box. She managed to shake the box off her head, but couldn’t manage to rid herself of the foil container inside the box. She was NOT happy as you can see. She could star in “Star Trek” as an alien! She’s certainly a character!

Coloring Page - Poodle and Doodle

I'm featured in a coloring page. Mama's illustrator, Jack Foster, drew this. Look how big the Doodle is!

*Click on picture, then print! It will print out full size ready to be colored OR right click on picture, and then 'save picture as...' and you can print it out using your photo program.

Doodle Service Dogs

Ariel's momma, Leah, went on vacation recently. At the pool one day she spotted a service dog who looked kind of like Sadie. Turns out it was a Goldendoodle. She was owned by a little girl with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) and acts as her canine assistant or service dog. She knows 90 commands. She can go for help, turn lights on and off, and fetch things when her little girl drops them. Isn't that great? I guess I'm pretty small to be a canine assistant, but I'm very proud that Doodles do that sort of service.

God and Dog

Angel Goes to the Groomer

Here's I am trying to get to Mama Donna.

I did get to run around the place like I owned it.

Mama wanted to show me off.

I am one tired pup. Staying so beautiful's hard on a girl.

Adventures of Lina and Sadie

Remember how Mama Donna got a parakeet and Sadie won't leave her alone? Well, Sadie has almost plucked Lina's tail feathers out several times now. This is the view from Donna's desk of Sadie still stalking Lina. See her cage at the end of the hall? Sadie finally quit going into the room and endlessly barking at Lina, but she's still mesmerized. And just about the time Sadie gives up and lies down, Lina starts squawking at her and they're off and running again.

I Got an Award!

My good friend, Amigo, has given me (and Mama Donna since she's the one who puts my thoughts on this blog...) an award! Amigo has his own blog, too - Pets and Their Authors. He celebrated by taking a mud bath, but I can't imagine doing that. That would mess up my pedicure!

Can you believe this?

Oh, the humiliation. Mama Donna and Leah decided I needed a coat because cooler weather is coming soon to our area. As you can tell, I'm not thrilled about it. I might change my mind when snow is as tall as I am...but I doubt it.

Interview with Sadie

Can you believe it? Someone interviewed Sadie before me. Everyone knows I'm the bigger star in Poodle and Doodle. But - good for Sadie. She gets the spotlight today on Mayra Calvani's blog, Pets and Their Authors. Check it out by clicking HERE!

Mayra wrote a book about a dog, too, called Crash.

So, Mayra, when you will you be interviewing the real diva?
