Member Since 2010 My wife and son jokingly emailing about our adopting a Doodle

From: Mom Margaret

A doodle is an aimless, absent-minded drawing scribbled while preoccupied by Patch. These drawings often resemble canine adventures with friends - hence we call these canine friends “Doodles”. Doodlers are doggies like Patch who are seeking doodles to play with when they are looking for mischief to get into.

Doodites are the people (us) who work for the Patch (Doodler) dogs and their Doodle friends, cleaning up after them and making sure they have food,… Continue

Member Since 2009 Socializing Marco

Marco is such a different dog than the one we adopted eight short months ago. He finally has become so calm and happy in his home "safe zone" that I'm finally comfortable to begin exposing him to real life, meaning other people, whom he has always been so petrified of. Today I took him with me to have the oil changed in my car. Oh my gosh, it was such fun!!!!!! As the oil was being changed I sat outside on a bench enjoying Marco's company and a delicious cup of coffee. He was actually quite… Continue

Member Since 2009 Another near miss

I've become quite the NYCACC connoisseur, perusing the Web site daily and attempting to call (despite the absurdly long hold time) regularly about dogs of interest. I came thisclose to adopting a doodle last weekend, but he was adopted by someone else in the 90 minutes it took me to drive to the Staten Island shelter.

This morning, I saw a segment on The Today Show featuring four NYCACC dogs ("From Bow to Wow") including a huge, black, shaggy poo mix. He tended more towards poodle,… Continue

Member Since 2009 The story of Tessa's fur brother, Cody...

This is CODY - a 56lb Beagle, Walker hound, boxer mix. I wanted to write this blog to tell you his story. He is our love bug, our Mr. Sensitive :-) He is, in a way, a rescue......

When Chris and I started living together two and a half years ago, we started thinking about getting a dog. We were desperate actually. We stopped in at the Mississauga shelter and found a playful and adorable Pointer mix. He would definitely need some… Continue

Member Since 2009 Part 26 of My name is Marco and This is My Story.......

I have lived in Houston, Tx for 15 years and never remember it being this cold. Please don't laugh, but it's supposed to get down to 18 degrees tonight and for those of us that are used to 50 degree winter temps, that's cold! And the fierce winds are making it seem even colder.......anyway, Marco and Lilly have been snuggling close staying warm together during the last few days.

After 8 months Marco is finally socialized enough where he… Continue

Member Since 2009 Mommy and her Dood...

Chris was working today and during a break from painting in the bedroom, I came down to the living room to check on the dogs. They have been so tired since we came back from New Years up at my aunt and uncle's country place. (They played with 3 westies!)

Anyway, took this photo. Don't mind what I look like, unwashed and haggered from painting! Tessa, my precious dolly face :-)
