Top 20 Fears of Dooley the Bulldog
Well as many of you know, Courtney and I have bought a new house here in Oklahoma City and have been living in it for a little over a month now. It has been wonderful so far, and we really enjoy it. Courtney has started a new job doing marketing for a local bank, and…

Mountain Goat
Courtney and I have a table behind our sofa, which was first put in place last Christmas for our Nativity scene. The table has always been an interest of Dooley’s. She figured out at a young age that she could almost get on the table, and tried often, however we never let her. Never. About…

Apologies
I apologize for the lack of updates on the Dooley Dog Blog. Courtney and I have been pretty busy over the last few months and Dooley has too! Since our last post, Dooley has met some of the grandparents, recovered from swimming bacteria, chewed straight through two of our dining room chairs, attended two puppy…

Birthday Dog
Dooley’s birthday is today! (4th of July) To honor such an occasion we decided that ridicule would be the best present we could give Dooley. So we dressed her up in a pink birthday girl outfit that is way to small for her and put a birthday hat on her as well. To be honest,…

After the Surgery
Dooley returned from the vet today. Her minor surgery went well! Her lump was removed. The vet says it was histiocytoma, which is fairly common in young dogs. Dooley has managed to catch or get pretty much every ailment that young dogs can get, but hopefully she is past all if that and will be…

Getting Better
As many of you know, Dooley has struggled with skin problems and allergies pretty much most of her life. She is having to go through a couple processes where the medicine she has to take makes her tired, and honestly she looks kind of depressed. For the past couple of days she has done nothing…

Is it fetch, or is it catch?
Every night for the last week or so, Courtney and I have been trying to teach Dooley how to fetch. Generally, this consists of us taking a tennis ball with us outside and letting Dooley chase it down in the grass by the house. The first few days Dooley was great! It actually seemed to…

Dooley Goes for a Walk . . . In the sound
Courtney and I have been pretty liberal about putting Dooley on a leash when she goes out lately. Normally, Dooley’s typical outings to the great outdoors consist of walking no more than three of four steps past the bottom of the stairs, doing her business, and then come running back upstairs as fast as she…
