Let the Doodle in. Let the Doodle out. Repeat. A LOT!

SNOW!




Somehow Sophie Doodle knows when it has snowed.  Her momma is forever being summoned to the back door to let her out.  Sophie plows the snow with her snout.  She runs willy-nilly in her fenced in back yard.  She is not happy when confined to the mudroom while she dries out!  Such is the life of a Bernedoodle when it has snowed in central Illinois. Just the right amount of snow, (Sorry.  I just had to let Sophie back in the house!) enough to cover the ground but not enough to create a problem driving. These are pictures of a very shaggy Sophie Doodle.  She picked up a variant of Kennel Cough (she was vaccinated) at the Vet's over Thanksgiving.  She missed her December grooming appointment because she was under quarantine.  She missed January's appointment because of an ice storm.  She's finally back on track and looking much better!

Sophie's humans have managed to keep busy.  While her dad seems to have never ending errands to run off the farm, her momma has been nurturing her domestic side.  So far this week, she has made vegetable beef soup,  sweet pecan bread muffins, pizza dough (very yummy!), and a loaf of bread made with mystery flour.  What is mystery flour?  It is flour that has been stored in our basement refrigerator without benefit of any kind of label (why did momma think that was a good idea?!).  It was likely unbleached flour, probably organic, but who knows.  The bread turned out just fine, thank goodness!  Next time the flour in the SECOND unmarked container will be tried, just to see what happens!

Such is the life here on our farm.

Welcome to my Sophie Doodle world!

Hi there, friends...or soon to be friends!  My name is Diana and I am the human voice behind Sophie Doodle.  Sophie is a Bernedoodle, which is a cross between a Bernese Mountain dog and a standard size Poodle.  She is 3 and a half years old, she is mostly black/silver with a beautiful white Phoenix on her chest.  My doodle-dog has the most beautiful, big brown eyes.  I was hoping to get a tri-colored puppy, but they are not very common.  When you can find one, I have noticed they tend to be VERY expensive.  She weighs 75 pounds but thinks she is a lap dog, which can be a big challenge.  Sophie is very lovable and very bouncy!  I sometimes believe she is the reincarnation of Tigger...Winnie the Pooh's friend.  She literally bounces on all fours when she is excited, which is most of the time.  My Sophie is still very much a puppy, the vet says it may be that way for some time to come.  Oh. My. Goodness!  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Sophie Doodle's Joy de Vivre!

Happy Friday! After several weeks of unseasonable warm weather, Sophie Doodle and I awoke to our first truly fall like day.  Unfortunately, not one of bright sunshine and crisp temperatures but rather a dreary, overcast type of day.  Sophie perches herself on our back porch and sits facing the wind, giving her a model's shot with the the wind fluffing out the fur on her snout.  A very elegant look for a very comical doodle! My doodle has been blessed with an abundance of energy, or rather a joy de vivre  when it comes to her personality and demeanor.  Meeting someone new is not met with trepidation but with a "Oh! I'm so Very, VEry, VERy, VERY glad to meet you!  (insert a mental image of a 75 pound dog with her tail gyrating at take off speed, trying to cuddle up against you in order to really  get to know you!) This is how I am greeted every single morning upon her return from her morning constitutional!  She is definitely a lover. I have been working wit
