On this HOT🌞, HOT 💥, H🔥O🔥T day . . . your moment of refreshing zen 🌬

06/24/2024

Ahhhhh, those lovely and almost-forgotten puppy-chewer YEARS our 3 doodles put us . . . er, went through . . . for the first SEVERAL years of their lives! SO GLAD they've MOSTLY outgrown the need to destruct (now that they're all 4 years old), but in awe of their ability to STILL surprise us from time-to-time. 😲🫣😱😖😇🤣

Urgent: Are you having any issues with your vision???

06/21/2024

Did you know that more dogs go missing on/around the 4th of July than any other time of the year?

Is your DOG prepared should he/she run off due to unexpected loud noises (i.e., microchipped, collar with dog's name and contact # (at minimum) on it)?

Is your HOME prepared (fences with secure latches/locks -- remember, some dogs can jump fences if/when spooked!).

Is your FAMILY prepared (everyone on the same page about keeping Fido and Fidess safe, away from opening doors they could easily run through as family/friends come and go)?

Are your pups in need of any calming treats and/or medications prior to the start of fireworks "season" -- remember, it's not just a day -- people shooting off fireworks can start a week before and last sometimes until a week after!

A case of too many cooks in the kitchen?! Absolutely! But once these furry chef-wannabe's were cleared out, this nice Friday brunch came together fairly easily, and the kitchen staff (me) received no plates back and no complaints! 😁🥳

Friday funnies: White doodle owners, "NEVER mow your lawn when the grass is wet!" 😱😭

06/20/2024

Awwwwe! Look what a sweet, sweet doggie parent of ours gave us recently!! Now I have my own Doodle-mobile! (And WHO wouldn't want one of those?!?) I'll bet SHE never hears the words "sorry, we're full" going forward . . . 🤪🤣😍🤩🥳

06/19/2024

Yes, SO GLAD we purchased those premium over-sized dog beds for our three doodles' comfort! Two years later now, and nothing's changed!

Hey, at least the boarding pups now have a guaranteed comfy spot to hang out, if wanted . . . . 😍

Warning: Why you should NEVER feed your doodle "Miracle Gro" . . . 😲🤪🤣

Here's tonight's doodle gang going for a neighborhood walk: Artie (bottom), Tallulah, Benny, and Izzy. Doodle Dad Dan makes sure they get their daily walks in, weather permitting . . . . 🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seriously, is there anything better than shared laughter with your best friend?! 😍🤣

06/05/2024

Today's moment of zen . . . (we should all be so lucky!) 😍

06/03/2024

While Doodle Dad Dan watched over all the pups at our house (8 of them!) after church on Sunday, I snuck away for the afternoon to attend an Omaha Area Pet Sitters (OAPS) networking conference. It was a nice afternoon outdoors with other local petsitters and dog boarderers and included several guest speakers who shared how to enhance our businesses and engage with our boarded pups better -- however, I'm not sure that I absorbed all that much as there were also 3 doodles present, and I, of course, could not keep my eyes off of them! I even got to hang out with one of them (Murphy, bottom right) for most of the afternoon! A good time was had by all! ☺️

It's not too often (yet) that we "pack out the house" with boarding doodles, but in trying to help all those who were traveling during Memorial Day weekend, we did just that. And, one beautiful result was that I was able to snap this amazing photo of all the dogs (which I still can't believe I captured, and which I shared elsewhere, but forgot to share here! Oops!). Well, that photo has now been used for a different great purpose, and that is to advocate for MORE available therapy dogs in schools. One of my clients is currently working on her Master's Degree, and she had to submit a document on a topic near and dear to her heart. She chose "therapy dogs in schools", and her document advocates for more such dogs available in schools. My photo (with some of your dogs present!) got included! Here's the original photo, plus her document! Happy to see this awesome photo (if I do say so myself!) being used for good!😍❤️

UPDATE: Reunited with owner!!! 🥳

FOUND: 2 doodles. Found in the area of 36th St. and Leavenworth tonight around 7:30pm. They are safe tonight at the Doodle Dads house, but will likely be picked up by the Nebraska Humane Society in the morning. If these are your dogs, please contact Mike at 402.889.2733 and be prepared to show photo proof that they are your dogs (as there are no tags/IDs on them).

OH, this looks like FUN! Saw this & thought "let's ALL share!" Here's what our 3 doodles have done, according to the principal (all TRUTH-based stories . . . except not at school, of course):

- Artie (our bernedoodle): Has taken *every* cloth toy outside . . . just before the rain hits . . . *every* time!

- Benny (our black goldendoodle): Has stolen the teacher's computer mouse (for the 5th time, mind you), and has chewed it to pieces in the schoolyard!

- Tallulah (our English cream doodle): Even though today isn't "Show and Tell" day, Tallulah has brought her new BFF -- the garden snake -- into the classroom to show it off!

What have your doods' done to draw the principal's ire?! Share in the comments!!

Today, on this most special of days for this young beautiful couple . . . their wedding day . . . I'm so happy to know that I've helped out in the tiniest of ways by taking in their beloved Evie for the day and night so that they can fully enjoy and attend to their wedding guests for the celebration of a lifetime! CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couple, Kelsey and Chris! (And, just a reminder to the rest of you that I'm happy to play a tiny role in YOUR major life events too whenever you need to house your beloved pooch for the day . . . or week . . . or whatever!) 😍😜👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️💍🥂🎊💝

Just stating the obvious: "I DO NOT make the rules!" TAKE THE TEST!! 🤣

05/19/2024

This is just TOO FUNNY *NOT* to share!! Wait for it . . . then wait again! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you enjoy funny TRUE stories, you'll get a kick out of this post I made 3 years ago today (when we had two black doodles, one of which has since passed) . . . .

So, funny story this week. We've had a brick guy at our house for the past 2 weeks doing repairs. Each day he arrives, he texts me to open our garage (where his tools are stored) so that I don't have to get up if I'm still in bed sleeping (which is often). It's been working great until Thursday morning when I woke up early, came downstairs (with the garage remote in hand that had been on my nightstand), and let our two dogs out in our backyard (where our garage is) to do their business. I receive a text that the brick guy has arrived and he asks me to open the garage. I quickly go to grab the garage remote control, but I can't remember where I set it down. I can't find it anywhere logical. So, I give up on that and quickly run outside to let the brick guy know I misplaced the remote and to try to get the dogs to come back inside before the brick guy enters our fenced backyard (because 1-yr-old Benny wants to jump up on him to greet him if given the chance).

10-yr-old Bodie comes immediately inside, but Benny is running around like a nut! So, I go chasing after him, but he runs in the opposite direction each time when I head towards him. Why?!? This is unusual. Then, without explanation, the garage door starts going up. Did the brick guy somehow get his hands on my remote? How?! Where?! Then, the garage door stops going up and instead starts going back down. What the heck is going on? I still need to get Benny, but he keeps running from me!

Suddenly, I notice that Benny has got something in his mouth, and that explains why he runs away from me each time I try to approach him. But, what is it?! Then it hits me: He's got the stinking garage remote in his mouth! He stole it off the kitchen counter! And, because he's chewing on it as he runs around, HE'S the one opening and closing the garage door! Oy!

After several minutes, I'm able to distract Benny with a bribe (a doggie treat) so that he spits out the remote (what's left of it), and I run to grab it. Only, it's no longer in one piece. It's actually in four pieces, and it'll take me another two minutes or so to find all four of those pieces spread across the backyard.

So, now the remote is destroyed and useless. Luckily, within another few minutes I found a spare remote that I didn't even know we owned (as we haven't needed to look for one for the past 9 years we've lived here). Thankfully, after this crazy ordeal, the brick guy was able to get in the garage, get his tools, and begin work for the day.

Benny!!!!!! Aaaaaarrrggghhhh!!! (Photo for stinkin' cuteness...Benny of the left; Bodie on the right.)

FINALLY . . . dogs GUARANTEED not to shed . . . although they STILL may track in mud. 😜🤣

05/10/2024

Hmmmm. Doodle Dad 2 tells Doodle Dad 1 he can't have a bigger house. Doodle Dad 2 also tells Doodle Dad 1 he can't have a bigger yard. Sooooo, how is Doodle Dad 1 gonna get MORE doodles??? 🤔💡😁🥳

Friday follies: Visiting bernedoodle Apollo may be a tad bigger than he realizes he is! Here he is from last night, sitting in my lap and giving me an unexpected kiss on the nose when I called his name. 😍🥰

Follow-up: Well, it's taken several days to figure out which of my clients were near the impacted tornado areas, but I'm beyond relieved to confirm as of this morning that NONE of my clients in the Elkhorn/Bennington areas were directly impacted -- a little too-close-for-comfort in several cases, but everyone (including their doodles!) is okay and that's all we wished for!

However, I cannot just share that good news without also commenting on the heartfelt responses I received from some of my clients. Besides encouraging me on, they also made offers to transport any dogs from the victims to our home, to bring supplies for the dogs, and to house them themselves if I reached my max capacity! Those responses were so unexpected, but so lovingly received that it literally brought me to tears! (Shame on you all! LOL!) It just goes to show that "Nebraska Nice" is ALIVE and WELL, and that neighbors who barely know one another truly do have their backs if/when disaster strikes! I'm so glad to be able to call myself a NEBRASKAN! We've been here 12 years now, and I can't think of another place I'd like to live! Okay, well maybe Hawaii . . . but that's another discussion (and ONLY because they don't have snow).

THANK YOU to all who reached out offering to help me help others in need! While none of my clients have been impacted, I have now extended my offer of FREE doodle boarding to the larger member base of Omaha Goldendoodles and Friends (over 2,000 members there!), and will respond immediately if contacted by anyone in need.

04/28/2024

ATTENTION Doodle Dads clients impacted by Friday's tornadoes: Please check your email for an offer from us to keep your doodles (and housemates) temporarily for FREE as you navigate recovery, clean-up and repair. Details in the email!

You never know what kind of shenanigans are going to break out when you get a large group of doodles together at the Doodle Dads house! 🤪😍🤗🤣

So, for the parents of these beautiful souls currently staying with us AND for potential future clients who may wonder what a typical night at the Doodle Dads house looks like, HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS!!!! Get ready for a WILD RIDE as presented by the doodle dogs at Doodle Dads . . . 😳🤯😍🤣

Who could have guessed back in late Summer when I started this business that it would eventually turn bitter cold outside and there'd be days when there would be snow, sub-zero temperatures, and pups with freezing paws to contend with?! It wasn't what I was thinking about! LOL! But here we are, and I'm STILL loving ALL these doodles . . . and their *friends* (including a poodle and a golden retriever puppy in this vid)! If this crazy cold is wearing you down, just repeat along with me: "Only 64 days until SPRING!!" 😍🥰🤪🤣
