Another Tucker in the family

Remember Tucker? He's the crooner that went home with Drew, Jenna and Kelsey. Well, he has an "uncle" with the same name. When our daughter Colleen and her husband Cason moved to Kenya last fall, they inherited a dog named Tucker. Here are a couple of pics of the other Tucker in our family.

















This Tucker is definitely not a doodle!

By the way, if you want to see some adorable baby and toddler pictures, visit Colleen and Cason's blog to see what they are up to.

Sophie

Julie sent us the following pictures of Sophie (Blue Collar girl).
She says Sofie is "the love of my life!!"

Rumsey Pic

Here's the latest pic of Rumsey. In this recent photo he is fulfilling his dual role - family pet and pillow for Aidan. Of course, I can't post on Rumsey without bringing back one of my favorites of him as our little fancy collared boy "monkey."

Sam

Here's a recent update on Sam Chubbs, our Pink Collar Boy puppy. We don't have a recent picture but we wanted to pass on the info. Here's a pic from just before he went home with Mary Beth, Dave, Max, Jack and Grady.

"Sam is doing great! We just love him. He gets along great with our dog Grady. Lately, they are absolutely covered in mud on a daily basis but this too shall pass. Sam aka Samwich has a wonderful personality. We tell him all the time that he was the pick of the litter and truthfully it seems to have gone to his head a bit. He is a little more full of himself than Grady but I think that has a lot to do with him being a puppy.

"We had him neutered last week and that went well. I'm not sure how big he is but he looks to be about the size of Abby but more filled out. He was pretty easy to house train and never has any accidents in the house. He does jump up on people a lot which is really our fault. He's great with the boys too. ... people sometimes think we have two sheep in our yard."

Murphy

We received a great update on Murphy, former light blue collar boy. Here's a picture of his happy family from the day Murphy was picked up.

Here's the update: (I'm sure you other Rosiedoodle owners will be able to relate!)

"All has been going well with Murphy. He can be a crazy one at times but he's as cute as can be. How is he crazy? He picks through the trash, eats clothing, and will get on a table when your not looking (I'll send one of those photos:)) He knows when he's doing something wrong because he'll give you that look while he's planning his strategy of how he's going to dodge past you with a sock in his mouth.

"He's enjoyed the snow this season and he tries to catch the snowballs we throw in the air. Early on he learned so many tricks. I think by 12-13 weeks he was able to sit, shake, rollover, hi-five.... He definitely has the retriever in him. He loves for us to throw the ball and he'll bring it back to us waiting to do it again. He is 7 months old and 50 lbs. We comb him all the time and he's a big thing of fluff and stuff. He needs another haircut right now because it's getting hard for him to see.

"Murphy is VERY mouthy. Thank goodness those puppy teeth are gone. It's not like he chewed on the furniture but he loves a good arm. It's funny because every morning when I get him out of his crate he picks up the little blanket you sent home with him and prances around the house. I sit on the floor and he does a couple of paces then sits himself right on my lap. It's funny and very cute. Sometimes when I groom him, he does better if I have my hand in his mouth. He doesn't bite but it seems to offer him some comfort...plus I need to get him combed!

"Speaking of grooming, boy does this guy like his belly rubbed. Again, every morning during his ritual, he will get on his back and completely sprawl out waiting for you comb or scratch his belly. He straightens his legs out like a human and we all get a giggle out of it.

"Murphy has some neighborhood buddies that he likes to run with, Linus and Oliver. One is a yellow lab and the other is a golden retriever.

"Soccer season for our girls is getting ready to start up so I'll know he'll be going to games. He'll love it and everyone will love him."

Maeve

Maeve was the pink collar girl that found a home with Elizabeth and Matt. Here is what they had to say about her:

"She rings her bells that we hung on the backdoor. She is a love bug. She is cuddled up on the bed snoring as I type! We do have her sleep on her own bed, though. She is already 41.5 pounds!!! She is happy, healthy and brings us joy everyday. Any chance there might be a goldendoodle reunion this summer?"

A goldendoodle reunion? Hmmmm.

Sophia Rose at Christmas

This is Sophia Rose. She was the little red collar girl that was first to climb into the chair. The pictures are from Christmas time and the description of Sophia Rose is that she is "getting big and fluffy and is very feisty! I expect by now she is bigger and fluffier. Probably just as feisty!
