Are You Ready For Some Football? And Some Dog Day?
Yesterday was the start of something we look forward to all year long in this house. ESPN Dog Day! Perhaps you thought I might say the first day of college football season or the first broadcast of College Game Day on ESPN. Those two came in at a close second around here. Actually we started →

I AM STILL HERE! It’s Friday so enjoy a Friday feature I call “Bird dogs?”
After taking a little time to think things over, I have decided not to shut down the grizzlybearma.com operations. Hold your applause and cheers, I will be continuing to write puppy, cat and kid stories but may post less often than I did in the early stages of my blogging. A household with two aussiedoodles →

Yesterday their Halloween costumes arrived from Amazon. It was →

Beware of the Green-Eyed Monster Dog
In the darkness of the windowless room, I can just make out the outline of the black figure and sharp white fangs. Suddenly the eery green tint fills the eyes. This spooky scene is not what I expected to experience this morning at our visit to the vet. It is fitting for an appointment in →

They are HUGE! Huuuuge!
These puppies do not even look like puppies anymore. I think they were the size of aussiedoodle puppies for maybe ten minutes and then BAM! They sprouted these long legs! If I sound like this has taken be by surprise, that is true. Somehow I thought we were getting two midsize Aussiedoodles. They are six →

We all need a little rest, even the Aussiedoodles.
There are days when my energy is depleted and I just need a little reboot. Today has been one of those days. We had a big weekend with visiting family. We took a road trip together to watch our son play college football, then headed to our cabin. I loved it all but find myself →
