Oh, how I wish dogs knew what was bad for them to eat and left those things alone. A Gray Tree 🐸 hitched a ride into our house in the pool toy basket placed in the sunroom. I even offered a $20 reward if my grandson could find Mr. 🐸. Sadly, Maybe turned out to be the 🐸 wrangler but used a method I did not approve (crunch, crunch, gulp). Now she’s drooling a LOT (please ignore dirty glass door) and we get to look forward to expulsion from both ends for the next few days. 😩

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Willa (formerly “Cherry”) is an F1b micro mini Bernedoodle from Bridgette and Smidgen. She was tiny but always feisty. This Texan girl likes her Blue Bonnet fields and any sprinkler she can find!!! I will post a pic of her showing her “Sprinkler Moves” in the comment section. 💦 ❤️

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Millie (formerly Cappuccino) from Hazel and Smidgen’s F1b Miniature Bernedoodle litter is a busy girl. She goes to work with her dad and loves to cuddle and play with her family when she gets home but her favorite things to do are going to a lake and camping with her family. (She was a great swimmer when we introduced her to the pool when she was a puppy. 💦 )

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Miss Ivy (formerly Pumpkin) of Bridgette and Smidgen’s litter of F1b micro mini Bernedoodles (fall 2023) loves Colorado. She enjoys playing in the snow in the winter and hiking in the spring. Her latest hike found her trekking 2 miles up a mountain without being carried until the pic. (She did fall asleep while sitting on the way back in the car. 💤) Evidently Ivy is a tiny adventurer! 🐾

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Mollie (formerly Cider) from Bridgette and Smidgen’s fall litter of micro mini F1b Bernedoodles loves cuddling, camping, and can play fetch for hours. Mollie wants to know if her parents’ genetic testing has revealed a royal heritage because she believes she’s a princess. 👑 🥰

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Boe (formerly Chocolate Chip of the Ice Cream litter) is from Hazel and Smidgen’s litter of miniature F1b Bernedoodles. He loves his human family, playing with his furry sister Buttercup (F1 Bernedoodle), and helping his mom at the doctors’ office… Does this make him an honorary physician’s assistant??? 😷

WHAT ARE THEY DOING NOW?

Frank (formerly “Oreo” of the Ice Cream Litter) is from Hazel and Caspian’s F1b standard size Bernedoodle litter last summer. Frank wants all his littermates to know that he’s recovering from a gonadectomy (neuter surgery) but plans to be
swimming with his human siblings as soon as he gets permission. Hang in there, Frank!!!

P.S. The surgery recovery suit seems to be working well. 👍

Freya (formerly “Peach” from the Ice Cream Litter) is a standard size F1b Bernedoodle from Hazel and Caspian’s last litter. She enjoys service dog training with doggy daycare one day a week for socialization. We are very impressed. Did her littermates vote her “Most Likely to Succeed”???

Oakley (formerly Clara) from Hazel and Caspian’s first Standard F1b Bernedoodle litter enjoys being both a UPS and Amazon MODEL (Doodle version of Vannah White). She appears in most of the “Package delivered” notification pics and enjoys sunbathing on the patio.

For previous puppy parents:
I’d really appreciate pics of what your puppies have enjoyed doing this spring. Please send them to me via text or private message. I absolutely love seeing all our puppies and I bet our followers would enjoy them too.
I will either put them all together our post them here separately.
Thank you!!!

Posted as an example is Orik Sprout (F1b micro mini Bernedoodle) at the lake. ❤️

I just want to impart some wisdom that we learned the hard way. We took our dogs to the vet last year because they started taking turns having loose then extremely runny stools. Of course we were concerned that they might have acquired a virus but they kept having this problem off and on. Our vet said they looked fine but I knew they were miserable and I was getting very little sleep. We eventually narrowed it down to the fact that not only were they eating worms and grubs (🤢) but they were also eating MUSHROOMS. Not all mushrooms are bad but some types make them very sick and our vet confirmed that this could be the problem. We now go on “Mushroom Patrol” multiple times a day. It’s been a very wet season so far so please get the mushrooms before your dogs do. 👍

I forgot to post that earlier this month Maybelline (“Maybe”) went camping with our Connect Group (Sunday School class) and she was able to meet Orik Sprout from Bridgette and Smidgen’s second litter. We’re so glad he and his wonderful family could join us for the evening when we were near their area. 🥰

Caspian enjoys our grandsons but not the cell phone. 😊

I hope all our fur baby moms had an awesome day!

We’re ready as can be!
Our tornado risk index is a rare 10 out of 10 therefore I’ve been busy ensuring all our dogs will be as safe as they can be tonight.
I’m praying that any large storms hit uninhabited areas and that there won’t be any lives lost in the storms which many states will experience tonight. 🙏🏼

Great article about what socialization should be and looks like at the different ages of a guide dog puppy. Socializing every puppy is important whether they are a service dog or companion.

Learn what socialization looks like for dogs at all ages.

Petunia started her first heat after her first birthday! She doesn’t mind wearing her leopard print panties but the first time I tried putting them on…. I felt like I was wrestling a greased pig!!! 🙄

The most important aspect of raising a Guide Dog puppy is SOCIALIZATION and you also need to teach basic obedience. I would happily volunteer to be a group leader if they allowed Oklahomans to raise puppies. Raising a puppy was an awesome experience and definitely helped me overcome my shyness.
You bring the puppy with you everywhere and try to make them comfortable with every place, noise, smell, and sound they could ever encounter with a goal that they’ll have confidence when they encounter new experiences.
I work hard to socialize every Bernedoodle puppy we raise so that they’re as confident as they can be. It is up to each new family to continue the puppy’s socialization.
Sadly, my adult dogs are not allowed to socialize for fear they will bring an infectious virus (Parvovirus, Canine Influenza, etc) into our safe environment. I even ask vet techs to give vaccines in my vehicle so that my adult dogs don’t have to walk into the veterinary clinic. If they do have to walk into the clinic, I spray the bottom of their feet before they enter our home. I know a breeder that immediately bathes their dog with a sanitizing shampoo each time they leave their controlled environment.
If you live in a western state (including TX) and are interested in raising a Guide Dog puppy, please contact Guide Dogs for the Blind. 👍

Miss Hazel enjoyed getting all of her heavy hair clipped off. She loves the one on one time and it turns out to be Love Your Pet Day. (I’m pretty sure she said, “Thanks mom!”)

THE DOG by Ogden Nash

The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I’ve also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest. 🤣

HaPpY Palentines Day from Forest Glen Kennel! 💕

I’m so happy that all our puppies went to such wonderful homes and I absolutely LOVE getting updates and pics. Thank you!!!

Lulu (formerly Nutmeg) is one of Bridgette and Smidgen’s F1b micro mini Bernedoodle puppies from the Thanksgiving Litter. She received her first grooming last month. Isn’t she ADORABLE??? 💕
I bet that bow didn’t last long though. 🥰

It’s that time again for Miss Bridgette but this time she doesn’t want to wear her pretty flower panties or even the panties with ruffles. She has made it clear that if she has to wear panties she MUST lay on my lap otherwise she’d rather stay in her crate (without panties). Bridgette is quite opinionated!!!

If you live where it’s icy and are worried about your dogs breaking a leg, this is what we do:
1. Place rubber backed rugs on concrete.
2. Take one dog potty at a time with a leash and make them walk on the rugs. (We don’t want them horsing around outside and then running over the patio to the back door when they are ready to come inside.
If anyone has additional suggestions, we are all ears. 😊
Stay safe everyone!

Thought this was awesome!
Question: How would you dress a Bernedoodle???
Answer: PJ bottoms, slides, and a goofy TShirt

It’s 16 degrees (feels like -1 degrees) here in Oklahoma this morning. Thankfully most of our fur babies are not wanting to stay outside too long. Well… actually Hazel and Petunia love this weather. 🥶
