So glad Toby is better.

My positive is I have my appetite back and I'm working on keeping it.

My positive for the day is no one was injured during the rumblings of the earthquake. They are beginning to give reports of some damage to some older buildings, but no lives were taken or hurt. AMEN!!

[Forgivenmom5]

I agree Janet!

My positive is that mom started our Relay team and three wonderful ladies have already donated! Thank you!

I am so honored that Mom wanted me on her team and I'm going to try SO hard to make her proud.

Oh, and my other positive is that Maddie's party is in 45 minutes. The puppy icecream is in the fridge, the brownies are in the oven, balloons and streamers are hung, puppies are brushed and dressed oh so cutely, and the snack trays are ready!

My positive is that I have one deposit for a pup in hand and 3 others promised to be in the mail by Monday. IF they all follow through I already have half the litter spoken for. Not bad for being 48 hrs old!

Nice going Tink! How are the babies and the Mama?

My positive for today is that it is another beautiful day, my class went very well, and life is good.

My positive for today is that I am hosting a " Puppy Social " and many of our past puppies will be able to join us today.
I'm so excited and I can't wait to see them all. I enjoy ( very much) the friendships I have made from our extended Yorkie family and I feel blessed that we all keep in touch.
It's going to be a wonderful day .......

O Janie, that sounds like a great way to spend the day!
Most of my pups have gone to people several hours away... it seems most around here have no clue what a Labradoodle even is. LOL SO while I'd love to be able to have a puppy reunion, i kinda figure it would end up being a pretty small one.

I do get updates and photos from my buyers, but I doubt most would be willing to drive 4-5 hrs to visit.

I'm so excited that I just can't stand it. LOL
We have been very lucky that all our puppies have gone to homes within a few towns. Since most have been on our waiting list for a while, we have the opportunity to bond pretty closely before their puppy is actually born and then ready to go home.
We really are very lucky ...

Tink, I just adore all your pictures of your labradoodles. There is a really cute one that lives just a few houses away and he is the cutest thing I have ever seen and he has personality plus! I just adore this breed ....

Judy, thanks for asking. They've already grown noticeably!
They're filling out nicely and thank GOD Canada is looking better already too.


4daysold.jpg They've gotten rounder, longer, louder, and stronger.

What I saw in the last litter and am already noticing with this one is that the pups seem to instinctively segregate themselves according to color. Last time the black ones bonded and played together, slept together, and the lighter ones did the same... and already this time they seem to do the same. This picture is how they choose to be... anyone have any theories on why? They can't see or hear yet... what's up with this?

They are just beautiful Tink.
I think I am in love ..... with ALL of them.

I don't have any idea why they would cuddle the way they do ( by color ), but do you think it might have to do with different body temperature? I've never come across anything like this.
Is this the first time you have seen it in any of your litters?

Thanks Janie, I'm very pleased with how they turn out. I've bred different breeds over the years and have never had smarter, more sociable pups than the Labradoodles. It's so funny... when their new owners come they seem to just decide "Oh that's my new person! Hi, I love you!" and go off happily. We haven't had one that was shy or fearful in the least. That they're so cute with their Labradoodle coats grown out is just icing on the cake. I'm really smitten with them.

Prior to this, I bred Rotties and German Shepherds, so there wasn't the color contrast there that there is in these pups. It could be something really obvious that I'm just overlooking, but I have no clue what!

I have two positives one for yesterday and then my new one.
For yesterday, I sold a vacation package to a mother with two daughters who are teenagers. She is going through a divorce. The girls have been down about the whole situation. This mother was in tears thanking me for giving them the lowest price on the package. She said that this will show the girls that they can still have fun and that they are still a family. This made me feel so good. Rarely in sales do you feel like you've made a difference. This time I do.
Second,
I am SO proud of my mom. She has not even finished her fight with cancer yet and is already helping others. Her making a relay for life team before she has even had her surgery just shows what a wonderful lady she is. She always thinks of others first. We are getting closer to hearing that she has a cancer free diagnosis. I do not think I could have anything more positive to put up than that.
