For those whoâve known me in bits and piecesâwhether from my childhood roots in Eastern Europe, the concert halls and music studios of my classical piano journey, the pews and prayer circles of my church family, the veterinary clinics and natural health summits, the poodle rings, the puppy families, or simply the winding threads of friendship that stretch across countries and seasonsâyou might know part of my story. Some of you are piano students past or present, others have found me through Shungite collars, freeze-dried treats, or one of my guides or books on natural dog care. However weâve connected, you hold a thread of this ever-growing tapestryâand today I just wanted to offer a proper hello to those who may be seeing the bigger picture for the first time.
Hi, Iâm Timea R. Bodi.
Iâm a natural-reared Miniature Poodle breeder, a veterinary technician, a certified canine and feline nutritionist, AKC Breeder of Merit, a piano teacher, and the founder of Danube Adornments & Pawlicious Pantryâa small, heartfelt business where I craft health-supportive treats, raw feeding aids, and natural wellness tools for dogs and cats.
But more than anything, Iâm someone who lives close to the soil of life: hands-on, heart-deep, and rooted in faith. I believe that animalsâespecially the ones entrusted to our homesâdeserve to be raised with the same reverence we give to anything sacred. That belief has shaped everything I do.
My roots run deepâborn in Eastern Europe, where poodles and music were the two great loves of my upbringing. I studied classical piano, later taught students, and eventually moved to the U.S. in 2003 with a heart full of heritage and a vision to continue the tradition of excellence I was raised withâthis time, through the careful breeding and natural rearing of poodles.
My poodles are not kennel dogs. They live in my home, underfoot and in my heart. Iâm a small breeder by choice, because I believe in quality over quantity, and presence over production. I breed for structure, movement, intelligence, and emotional soundnessâdogs that can do more than look pretty. They can live fullyâas athletes, companions, and bright spirits who bring joy to their families.
Each puppy is raised on a species-appropriate raw diet and immersed in a natural rhythm of careâexposure to fresh air and sunlight, mental stimulation, clean environments, gentle handling, and soul-nourishing stillness. These arenât just checkboxes for meâtheyâre the environment in which vitality takes root.
Danube Adornments & Pawlicious Pantry was born out of the same calling: to provide clean, intentional, biologically aligned support for dogsâespecially those raised naturally. From freeze-dried treats and colostrum to Shungite collars and ancestral supplements, everything I offer is made or sourced with deep care, and often, in response to what my own poodles have needed.
This work is more than a profession. Itâs devotion. Itâs stewardship.
And at the center of it all is Godâthe one who gave me this path, these animals, and the courage to walk differently. There have been humbling moments. There have been miraculous ones. And in all of it, I see grace.
So if youâre here because you love poodles⌠or youâre curious about raising dogs naturally⌠or you just feel something resonate in the way I write or workâplease reach out. You donât need to know it all to start. You just need a heart open enough to question whatâs ânormalâ and brave enough to choose better.
And as it happens, there are puppies here nowâgrowing, unfolding, waiting for the right hearts to meet them. Weâre always listening for families who feel like they were meant to find us.
Whether we met in a concert hall or a dog park, on a farm or through FacebookâIâm grateful youâre here. This life is a mosaic of music, poodles, people, prayer, and purposeâand Iâm honored to share it with you.
With joy, with reverence, and always with hope,
Timea R. Bodi
