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?

New Oodle Friend - Sophie

Another one of Mama Donna's smart friends have been adopted by a poodle like me! The family named her Sophie.


Here's Sophie and her Mama Hope. See how litttle Sophie is? That's how big I was when I came to live with my family. Of course, I'm still not that much bigger.

Progress

Mama Donna's...no wait, I should say MY illustrator has put an announcement on his blog about the book along with another sneak peek. Check it out!

Another Pet??

Mama Donna brought home a noisy, messy parakeet. Now I couldn't care less about the bird, but she's driving Sadie and Ariel crazy.





Sadie stalks the poor thing.







Ariel is a lot shorter, so all she can do is stare and whine. Pitiful.

Lina, the object of their affection...no obsession.

Sadie sat like this all day.

Uh-oh. Sadie just jumped up and tried to bite at the parakeet's tail feather when it jutted through the side of the cage. And now Lina, is trying to figure out how to open the doors where Donna puts the feed in.

This is not good.

To be continued...

Sadie's New Toy

Mama Donna has a difficult time finding toys that Sadie can't chew to pieces. She bought a ring for Sadie that she could throw like a Frisbee. The only thing was, Sadie couldn't figure out how to pick it up out of the grass. Here she is the first time she picked it up. She ran all over the yard like that. Donna was bent over double laughing at her. How could she even see?





Here she is guarding her new toy. Look at her tongue! You can tell she played really hard. See the black dot? That's so not a poodle thing, but the lab part of her.



Sadie played and played, and she did not want to come in. She's outside on the deck, exhausted, but refusing to let go of her new toy.


Donna couldn't get her to come in, so she stood at the patio door for at least a half hour. It's getting dark and Raleigh and Ariel want her to come in, too. Can you see how dirty that toy is?
