Groodle Action
This is our new pup Indy. Indy is half Golden Retriever and half Poodle, otherwise known as a Groodle or a Golden Doodle. Whatever the name, he’s an adorable pup. I’ve taken many photos of him already but I wanted to show something of his nature. I like this shot cause it captures his playfulness and his oodles of shaggy hair.

My Girl Is A Creative Genius – I'm So Proud
I’m so proud of my little gal Juniper. She’s 10 years old and is a creative genius. About a year and a half ago, she asked me to set up a website for her, juniper’s tree house. She likes to write and often she’ll sit at her computer and write little essays for her site.
Last night, I had a look and noticed that she had posted a couple of essays. The essays tell a story about our two cats, Harley and Banjo. In Banjo’s Narrative, she tells the story from his perspective. In Harley’s Narrative, she re-tells the same story from Harley’s perspective. I am very impressed with her narrative concept and feline insight. At 10 years old, I think she’s a brilliant writer. If you get the chance, pop over to her site and say hello.
Meet Indie the Groodle
Yes, we have a new addition to the little red planet zoo. Meet Indie, the 14 week old Groodle. What’s a Groodle you say? A Groodle is a mix between a Poodle and a Golden Retriever. Indie has been with us for almost a week. He’s settled in very well and has already made his mark (bite mark!) on a large selection of furniture. He likes to chew house shoes, socks and all the wooden furniture including the stairs.
He’s getting along with the rest of the family very well. He even tolerates little Willow! Over the weekend he became better acquainted with Harley, our cat. I can see Harley sleeping on top of Indie in the future but, as for now, they prefer to admire each other from a distance.

While my brother Harley was decapitating poor Little Teddy, I did not participate.
Read MoreLittle Teddy's Unfortunate Day
Yesterday, I stayed home to care for my daughter who has the flu. While she was lounging on the couch and I was sitting back in the chair we witnessed a very unfortunate series of events for poor Little Teddy.
Little Teddy is one of my youngest daughter, Willow’s, toys. She left Little Teddy on the love seat and our mischievous cat Harley decided to have a ball with Teddy.
I don’t think Little Teddy saw it coming cause at first he played dead hoping that Harley would quickly lose interest and chase hairbands across the floor.
But Harley wasn’t buying the dead act. He was focused …. and determined. You see, he wanted to have a ball, not with Little Teddy, but with Little Teddy’s head.
Poor Little Teddy! He had an Unfortunate Day.
