The Black Dog Cookie House

Happy 1st birthday, Bonnie (on March 16th)! So happy that we got to spend it with you, so that we got to give you extra hugs, sing to you, walk and play with you and your friends, and give you our cake! We’re so enjoying watching you grow up in the groups!

Happy 2nd birthday, Frankie Doodle! We hope you have a massively fun day and get to gorge yourself with birthday cake! Love you, little Devil!

Happy 8th birthday, Tusker (yesterday)! (Here with friend Lily on his left). We sure are happy that you and your funny brother Rupert have joined our extended group family! Hope you enjoy your first home-made BDCH birthday cake! Looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you! XO

Happy anniversary, Bella! It was 10 years ago today that we first met! You were a bratty little sister to your older brother Ozzee - now it’s payback time with Mable! Love you lots!

Friends happily snuggling after their walk: our Chance with his adoring Sasha the dobie (always having to touch him in some way), and Kamali on her booster seat. At 14 she still comes out 3x/week, and gets first choice for the seat!

Manu getting his BDCH birthday cake, freshly baked by us this morning!

Happy 12th birthday, Manu (here in the back, with his sister Kamali in front of him)! Don’t let the slightly sad look fool you (I think he puts that look on for sympathy cookies)- that was probably seconds before he went chasing after his girlfriend! Love you lots, big baby!

Happy 13th birthday, sweet Tug! May you live many more healthy years in your exuberant style! You make us laugh! Lots of , Auntie Micki and Uncle Adam

Friends Kooteni and Frankie Doodle snuggling in the van after their hike today!

Meet Louie, a 10 month-old Aussie Doodle (on the right). Here during his trial outing (with Tiko). Isn’t he cute? Welcome Louie!

Frankie plays hard, and then right after always passes out right away in the van. On this day, right in front of the heater! And Violet has really been enjoying her towel pillow...

Our animals narrowly escaped bring dressed up for Halloween this year...until someone gifted us with this bandanna!

We can fit! We just snuggle up tight! Perry, Kamali, and Marley.

This is our Puggle Perry. Does this depict your dog, too?

So it’s been about a month since Violet swallowed one of the squeakers from these birthday cake toys. Still she’s not giving it up, and lets it rumble around in her tummy. And what does she do in the meantime? Destuff the toys and look for more! She’s been very disappointed that all the squeakers have been removed...

All ready for some forest fun!!!! Chance, Finley, Dixie, Bonnie, Diva & Bella Taco. #blackdogcookiehouse #maremmasofinstagram #irishwolfhoundsofinstagram #labsofinstagram #bernerdoodlesofinstagram #westvandogs #northvandogs #minischnauzersofinstagram #dogsofallsizes

Happy anniversary, Sasha! It was 6 years ago today that we first met! You’re such a joy to us and your friends, and we look forward to many more years together! XO

Happy anniversary, Charlie! It was 11 years ago today that you came in your first introductory walk with us. Of course we knew your family for many years before that, and your sister Abby before you. So very glad that you’re part of our extended family! Love you lots!

Happy 11th birthday to my great big white Love! So beautiful, wonderful, sweet, tolerant, and sensitive - we couldn’t love our Chancey more!

I just passed a magnificent hot rod with a gorgeous blonde in the passenger seat!! #blackdogcookiehouse #goldenretriever

Happy 7th birthday, Buster (yesterday)! Can’t believe you’re 7 years old already! We love you lots, sweet, funny, loving, happy Busty!

Molly’s parents not only take her along boating, but also their cat Milo. Here are some pictures of them on the boat. Milo really owns it - they even bought a bigger boat so he could come along, and named it after him!
