Do You Remember

Hey Maverick!! Hey Hey Maverick!!! Do you remember when you were an only Doodle?

And you didn't have someone to come take your stick like this?

And tug you like this?

And drag you like this?

Aren't you glad I am your brother???

It would have been awfully lonely to have a stick for one...

Right buddy!?

You got it buddy :)

Always,

Amelia

New Talking Stick

Sometimes we get asked how we get all our doodles to cooperate off leash on such long walks....

Do you want to know a secret? 

(Besides lots of awesome training of course!)

You have to have the best walking talking stick around!

Can you guess who has the stick in this photo?

Maverick says his bet is on Fun Uncle Austin

Oops! I thought Awesome Auntie Abigail had the stick!

We love big doodle-y family walks

Hey Austin do you want to walk again tomorrow??

I sure hope so Doodles! My bet is on 'yes we will!'  :) 

Always,

Amelia

A Hike by Moonlight

Everyone likes a walk at sunset... but what if that sunset walk turns into a hike by moonlight?

Oh mom that was a great sunset!! Thanks for taking us for a walk!

We just love the views

But uh, Mom? It's getting pretty dark out... Shouldn't we head back?

Even the pond is turning into shadows

What do you mean we are hiking until we see the moon?

Ohhhh I see! 

The moonrise is just as beautiful as the sunset!

What a great adventure!

Thanks for a hike by moonlight doodles!

Always,

Amelia 

Bubbly Fun Day

So there I was, minding my own business, when ALL OF A SUDDEN I was on Chewy.com and purchasing peanut butter flavored bubbles for the doodles and catnip flavored bubbles for our kitty-doodles. I mean I clearly was not looking for something as magical as what I found in these fun flavored bubbles, but let's just say that the magic found me and I couldn't refuse! (See I am totally innocent here). Today was BUBBLE DAY!!!

You mean these kind of bubbles are for eating!?

I think we better try these out ASAP

You read my mind sweet doodles!! Ready for some tasty bubbles!?!

READY. SET. BUBBLES!

Oh wow these smell like peanut butter!

Oh they taste delicious!!!

Mom! I want to try the kitten ones!

Quick! Catch them all!

What a bubbly fun day!!

Always,

Amelia

The Growing Tails of Ernie McDoodle: One Time in a Trench

Once upon a summer, there was a young Double Doodle puppy named Ernie McDoodle. He helped Mr. Yesteryear Acres and his mom dig a drainage trench....

He had a very important job of fetching all the caps for the pipes... 

And although the days passed and the young Doodle puppy grew up to be a full Doodle doggy... He NEVER forgot his very important job...

MOM!! Look I found a pipe piece!

Um Ernie? Did you pull that from Mr. Yesteryear Acres stash!?!

Why yes I did! Didn't I do a good job!?

I carried it all by myself to bring it to you like this...

I am the best drain pipe fetcher of all time! Right Mom?

Of course you are my silly doodle!! Let's just agree to NOT tell Mr. Yesteryear Acres about this...

Always,

Amelia

What is Personal Space?

One of the things I love so much about my little Always Amelia Clan is how much they don't know what personal space is. I am truly never ever ever EVER alone. They love me as much as I love them and they show me by always taking an interest in what I am doing.

From helping me fill my vitamin containers...

To entertaining company...

All the way to ensuring bath time is up to standard

My Always Amelia Clan never ever....

EVER lets me be lonely 

Thank you for not knowing what personal space is! 

I love my little clan!!

Always,

Amelia

Bindi's Beautiful Bouquet

One of the first doodle puppies I got to train under my own business, Always Amelia, was an adorable Petunia goldendoodle puppy named Bindi. Not only did training Bindi reinforce my desire to officially launch my puppy training business, but I also gained a lifelong friend. Bindi's human mama stays in touch with me on all things doodles. I absolutely adore my pen pal and friendship I have with her. Each year Bindi and her Mama send adorable Pawliday cards and little goodies for me and my sweet sweet doodle doggies. I wanted to return the love that I have for both of them and wrap them in a quilt of love!! I am happy to say that 'Bindi's Beautiful Bouquet' quilt turned out just how I imagined!!! 

I used bright vibrant colors to match the bright happy personalities of Bindi and her mama

And a fun little meander quilting to show off their silly side

One last picture and it was off to the post office!

I am very happy to say that it is Bindi Doodle Approved!!!

Thank you so much for our friendship and tail wagging devotion!

Always,

Amelia 

Like Mother Like Son

With my sister visiting at Yesteryear Acres, her doodle Blossom- AKA Maverick's Mom, is also back home. It has been so funny to watch Blossom and Maverick's mannerisms! They are so similar!

Two Peas in a pod

Their love of hedgehogs...

The apple didn't fall from the tree

They always need a pillow

And they adore walks with their human Moms

as much as they love to be tucked in on the couch

Like Mother like Son.

We love our silly similar doodles!

Always,

Amelia
