Hello again Mary, Here are some pictures of Ruby and Shelby’s 1st birthday. We all had a great day celebrating their birthday! First we took them to a friendly dog mall where they have a dog bakery. We picked out a doggy birthday cake for them and had it decorated. Here are some of the pictures of the celebration. Also I wanted to let you know that Ruby and Shelby have graduated puppy and intermediate dog classes. They will soon be in advance class where we will be able to take them to hospitals and nursing homes. We are so excited. Right now we have Bert in class to learn general dog manners. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Let us know how your puppies are…

“I can’t believe he is a year already…..still feels like yesterday when I got that e-mail from you telling me that things with the lady that was supposed to get Revo unexpectedly fell through, and he was MINE! Thank you so much for giving me my baby boy!! and for giving him an amazing start.” Dana Revo has the life! I’m sure he is one of the happiest Mini Doodles I know!

Christmas day was the best time of all for Revo and Ozzie. They never had so much fun opening their gifts…..

MAX-one of Ruby and Riley’s Mini Goldendoodles, loves the snow in Virginia where he makes his home with Bill and Tricia.

“Happy Halloween from our little dinosaur—-Revo.” Dana’s little buddy is one of Ruby and Riley’s mini goldendoodles. Before heading off to the Bonfire, we were visited by 2 of my favorite little people—Batman and Robin. (Jacob and Jonathon Stover)

Daisy after playing outside while it was sprinkling. She decided to have a dig in the flower bed. This was obviously followed by a bath. Daisy is a whopping 13 lb. F1 Miniature Goldendoodle from Ruby and Riley’s Spring 2010 litter. “ When she lays down with her feet kicked out in the back she looks like a shag rug. She is very enthusiastic about life – her greetings are very wiggly – and she loves to kiss toes when she wants to get our attention. She and Dolly are great pals and love to stalk each other and race around the yard. “ “ When we took her to her puppy classes it looked like everyone else had brought their puppy but that we…

Lily, one of Lizzie and Arlis’ puppies from 5 years ago, was joined by Rusty (from another Lizzie/Arlis litter) just 1 year ago. Now fast friends, they travel everywhere together with Ray and Reva from Lexington, KY. They left not long ago to winter in Florida, so we won’t see them now til Spring. Have fun Lily and Rusty……and make sure you send some sunshine our way….especially in January and February!!!

How is the family doing? We are doing great and Zada is getting so big. She is now 23 lbs and really furry. She has been so great addition to our family. Were still working on not chewing up things- loves the kids toys and paper! As you can see in one picture she has tissue paper!Deanna (Zada–mini doodle–lives with her family in Avon, IN)

KAI has celebrated her first birthday in Upper State New York with Henrietta, and her best buddy—-Loki, her black labradoodle friend. She has already traveled across the country meeting new faces and making wonderful memories. ” Kai’s as loving and affectionate as ever, has many admirers—both canine and human–and attracts attention wherever we go. She loves to play in the rivers and lakes near our home but she’s still reluctant to swim in water over her head. The dogs and I drove out to Colorado again this summer and Kai loved it all, the different sights and smells, making new dog friends, playing with my grandkids, and sleeping in a tent. She has grown into a marvelous companion!” ~ Henrietta

(Angela/Barbara Budach)On Saturday afternoon we decided to head to Black River Falls, WI. An hour later, we were on our way! Halfway into our trip we stopped to spend the night and see our good friends, the Budachs. We had salad, pizza, and great fellowship! The next day we packed back up and finished our journey to Black River Falls. We spent the night with the MacIntyre family and then Monday morning we headed to Spooner, WI. (Mary and Shae/Cheri and Kaiah)When we arrived, our two puppies were waiting for us-all clean and smelling just marvelous like a brand new puppy should(if ya know what I mean:D) Angela and Kai(Kaiah’s nickname is Kai) Cheri and Kai (Shae)On the 11 hour drive back home, Shae and…
