Hello to those that call and send me emails! I would love to tell you that a litter is coming, but my three 'prospects' are really giving me a run for my money! They are in cahoots with Mother Nature and they are torturing me with these 'cycle' games!
It appears Cadbury has decided to skip her cycle! What a nerve!!! I was so looking forward to having some outstanding cafe's and apricots from this girl. Chico did his best to woo her, but she simply refused the invitation. :+( We are hoping, with a bit of wine and roses, she may change her mind at the next invite. Perhaps a spring/summer litter '10.
Next in the mating game is Clara Belle. A delightful lady of soft curls the color combo of a cream sickle - YUM! We are hoping that Chico will be able to 'sweep her off her paws' when they meet, hopefully in late July or August. I am expecting apricot/red with cream partis and some solids with perhaps a bit of white on their heads or tails. Cute as fall pumpkins I bet!
Also on this dance card is Olive Oyl. We are again looking at Chico to do a great 'tango' and produce some silky, shiny blacks and deeper red/apricots. What a performance that will be!! Although these coats may shed just slightly, the type of coat will be phenomenal and easy to maintain. My favorite doodle to groom here. :+) I am expecting her to cycle around the same time as Clara Belle (who is her litter sister!).
So it appears I could have three girls cycling at the same time, or they will have pity on me and give me a bit of space between them so that I won't have to make choices as to whom to breed when.
On a positive note, this will be my first summer in 6 years that I am not tied to the puppy room! I am looking forward to some gardening, taking my doodles to the beach and simply enjoying the sun and freedom of summer. :+)

When is the next litter?
Gretta goes to a home.
As many of you know, my plan was to keep Gretta and add her to my breeding program. She actually went to a guardian home, but they felt that raising a puppy involved more time and energy than they felt they had to give. So, we took her back and I made the decision to sell her to a young couple who was ready, willing and able to 'spoil' my precious girl. :+)
Gretta happily resides in Boston and is enjoying the city life meeting lots of new furry friends, greeting new people and going to exciting places. She does not affect her new daddy's allergies and that has made everyone very glad! Sometimes, fate intervenes in the nicest ways. :+)
Kate and Gretta. Kevin was doing the dog supply shopping! Gotta love that.

Lulu Belle goes home!
Today was a special day for this family as they had to wait another week to bring their little bundle home.
Six years ago, they made a trip up to Annabelle Doodles for their first pup, named 'Fuzzer' (on left). Today, they happily added a redhead to their household - little Lulu Belle.

Lulu Belle waits.
Lulu Belle is being very patient, but she is looking forward to her new owners coming to get her on Saturday. :+)

The boys go home, I miss them already :+(
Well it is awfully quiet around here without the boys wrestling and running about getting things started. The girls are a bit confused but adapting well. :+) They liked the fact that they had their own lunch bowls and didn't have to rush to gobble the food down. Lulu Belle will be here one more week and then Gretta will have to mesh into our lifestyle until I decide what to do with her - keep or sell. I am in no rush and neither is she. :+)
Our Green Giant, Ralphie will be a wonderful addition to the Lynch family. I know Peter will want to get him to play ball as soon as possible and Daddy seems to have bonded with him from the getgo. 
Ledley (Black Collar) will keep his happy owners quite busy with his antics and they will get lots of exercise bringing that boy up and down 3 flights of stairs for a while. Good luck!!
Tuck (Stripe) will give lots and lots of kisses and cuddles to his new family. A more sweet temperament will be very hard to find. A perfect fit for this family. :+)
Kids and their puppy - like peanut butter and jelly - it is the perfect combination. I am sure Jasper (Blue) will provide lots of laughs, steal many slippers and have lots of attention. 
I sure hope when any of you are near these parts, that you will let me know and come by for a 'look-see'. I adore it when I can see my puppies growing up.

We went for a ride today.......
L to R: Ledley, Jasper, Ralphie and Lulu Belle.
to see the eye doctor. We liked putting our paws on the gate and looking out the back. So many people came by and told us how cute we are. :+) Somebody mentioned to mommy that when they were done with their visit with the doc, one of us might be gone! Mommy kept a sharp eye on us the WHOLE time!!! :+) Both Gretta and Tuck went to see Dr. Cossotis a couple of weeks ago and stayed home for this trip.
Here is Ledley showing off! Jasper asked him to keep quiet, Ralphie kept 'posing' for pics and Lulu Belle was trying to decide if jumping out would be a good idea.
Mommy said we did very well both on the trip down (minimal crying and just a couple of messes) as well as with the doctor - who thought we were quite the fluffy crew. :+)

WOW! Do you believe next week will be 'going home pics'?
Tomorrow is going to be a very hectic day with the CERF Clinic, so I decided to post their 12 week pics today. Hopefully, no one minds. :+) I took these picks just prior to serving them lunch so used bibs. No, I did not keep them on as they ate.
Ledley was all about looking towards the kitchen where the food was wafting through the windows. He is a good eater.
Finally Stripe Boy was named and it is Tuck! Such an agreeable nature and so loves to cuddle.
RALPHIE! Our 'GREEN Giant' just sat in the tub knowing if he was good, food would follow.
Jasper, leaned on the tub simply waiting for dinner to be served to him.
The ever nosy Gretta was watching my husband with FOUR eyes!!!!!
And then came Lulu Belle. The last one to have lunch due to her skirmish down the alley atop the boardwalk; veered right to the pool and tried walking on the cover where she got her feet and belly wet; then dashed through the garden on the left where the dirt kept piling on and FINALLY the snapshot. Does Energizer Bunny ring any bells????? What a little monkey!
