Visit with me, Angel, the poodle, and Sadie, the labradoodle, and all our friends. My owner, Donna J. Shepherd, has even written a book about us! "Poodle and Doodle" is available now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Guardian Angel Publishing, and lots of other places. Woof!

Bringing home a new pet can be difficult for everyone, especially if there is already a pet at home! Two silly dogs learn a valuable lesson about friendship in this charming, colorful story! Both the antics and the illustrations made me laugh! - Jennifer Reed
"Poodle and Doodle is a fun read-a-loud that celebrates the gift found in differences. Loved it!" - Caroline Pignat, author of Greener Grass, WINNER of the Governor General's Award 2009.

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!

Sneaky Sadie

Sadie can be such a bad dog. She is big enough to reach the countertop. One night she ate half of a sub from Subway. Another time, she opened a donut box and managed to swipe a couple of donuts before Mama Donna caught her. They were the good donuts, too, from Marsh. (I know that because Mama has snuck me a bite or two. Shhhhh...)

Now we have photographic evidence!






Here Sadie is being a good girl, right? Nope. She's scoping out where Mama is!

























Sneaking around the corner. Uh-oh. Caught!
























Yep, that's how she does it. I wish I could reach that high!

Sadie surrendered and posed on the landing. She doesn't look too happy though.

Raleigh, on the other hand, loves the camera. He follows Mama Donna around striking poses.


At least they are both leaving me alone so I can finish grooming my nails.

Posing for Posterity


Good grief. Is Donna ever going to give up on trying to get me to pose?

Nope, never. I finally gave in. Here I am in all my prissy prettiness.

Is that Funny or What?

Sadie got caught by Momma Donna and her new camera. She hates having her picture taken. Can you tell? You can almost hear her trying to say, "Please get that out of my face." She looks awfully scruffy. She's not as well-groomed as me - of course.

I Can't Hide

Momma Donna got a new camera. Oh, no - that means she's going to chase me around trying to capture my cuteness. Here I am trying to hide.

Angel - can't put a price on her.

Can you believe Donna stuck a sticker on me and thought it was funny. Oh, the things we dogs have to endure!

How could you not love this Doodle?


Donna wrote that heading. I can think of a lot of reasons not to love that 'Doodle. We've worked out a truce, and for the most part, get along.
I just don't bother her when she's eating!

Angel - under desk trying to get away from Sadie!

Now don't you feel sorry for me? I can only take so much galloping and being pushed around!

Raleigh - another 'doodle' (Goldendoodle), and Donna


Oh, brother - another 'doodle! At least this one doesn't live with us. He belongs to Donna's son. He visits all the time though, and we get along better as time goes by.

Ariel in Angel's (Poodle) Bed

She's just too stinkin' fat to be in MY bed!

Sadie and Ariel Watching Donna Work



They look on from the doorway while I rest under Donna's desk at her feet. There are advantages to being little.
