Doodle Pose

Me and Stanley often sleep in the "Doodle Pose". We were wondering if anyone else sleeps like this or if it is unique to Doodles?

Holiday Here

Today is a big holiday in the State of Utah.  There are parades and ever'thing!  Mom gets irritated cuz she says the state holiday is so big (it lasts almost a week with the rodeo and all) that the 4th of July celebration dulls in comparison.  So in support of mom, we're wearing our 4th of July bandannas.  

After we took that photo and Stanley saw how handsome we were, he said he wanted to become a professional dog model.  He is going to send his photo to Oprah cuz if anyone can make it happen she can.

  

We'll let you know what happens . . .

Congrats!

Now we're waiting to hear what the baby's name is going to be.  We're hoping for Prince Murphy.  We think that sounds very Royal!

Take Your Dog To Church

Yesterday we went to church with our pawrents.  The 3rd week of the month is the Sunday we get to go to church.  We have gone to church ever since we were tiny puppies.  So like any regular church goer, we know the order of things.  First things first, we arrive early so we can attack Goose's mom.  She likes it when we do this and we like it too.

Stanley is a bit enthusiastic.

I get in on the action too.  Every pic mom took was blurry because we are pretty frenzied at this point and Goose's mom doesn't make us act like the gentle Doods we are.

We think the windows in the sanctuary are beautiful.  One day we would like windows like this in the Doodle Clubhouse.

The band was in good form.  Stanley sang through most of the first song.

I'm well behaved and sit nicely in the pew. (This was actually before most people and dogs arrived.)

Stanley likes to greet the other dogs.  Notice we wore our western bandanas because Utah has a big holiday this week and Pioneer Days are a big deal.

Pretty soon it was time for Goose's mom to preach.  She taught us about Mary and Martha and that we need to play with Jesus.

We also had dancers!  They danced to a song and it was BEAUTIFUL!

Their capes made them look like winged angels!

I might have dozed a bit but I think I was just listening and praying real hard.

Some other dogs were there too.  We didn't get pictures of them all.

This was a new dog.  We never met him before but he was real nice.

Cole (or it might be Coal), is a regular member.  She is very nice.

We love going to church and wish every dog could go to church too!

We're Home!

We're home!  We got home on Friday.  It was a wonderful vacation and we got to do lots of fun stuffs.  But we sure missed our home!

Me and Stanley couldn't wait until we could run around in our back yard again.  Even though our pawrents took us to dog parks we just can't play as good as we can at home!

We missed our Dogwood bush.  We like to run around it and hide in it.

And we went a long time without a good wrestling match!

I like to hide from Stanley and then sneak up on him.  Do you see me?

I even helped Dad collect the poops.  He loves our poops!

And today is a special day because it's Bring Your Dog To Church day!  We always have a bath before we go to church!  We can't wait to see Goose's mom (and she lets us attack her too)!

I was making sure Dad washed behind Stanley's ears.

Oregon is a wonderful place for a vacation.  We got to go everywhere with our pawrents (except the Unfair Grounds!!!).  Mom says we're "easy riders".  We got to do new things and meet new friends.  But we did miss you Blogville!

In Transit

We are traveling today. We have Internet for about 2 seconds. Thought we'd share a few pics from yesterday.
