I met Roscoe, Buddy & Dixie at their beautiful home in Gulf Breeze. Their Mom Dawn filled out my online contact form, and in the text box that says “Describe your pet in three words” She wrote “geriatric, something, and young”. I thought to myself, hmmm. Then I saw what she filled out as her dogs’ breeds: “oodles”. So – and please forgive me, Dawn – I thought you were just a bit heavy with the typos. I mean, there’s no such thing as an oodle and geriatric is the opposite of young… Right? And how the heck could “prime” fit into that??

So I laughed pretty hard when Dawn informed me over the phone that she has a standard poodle, a labradoodle, and a schnoodle – hence, “oodles”. And she used one word for each dog, since the oldest is 12 years old and the youngest is only 7 months! Take a look at Roscoe, Buddy and Dixie!

Dixie is a big, happy girl, and has tons of energy.

Don’t let the distinguished touch of gray confuse you: Buddy is 5 years old and Dixie’s outlet for most of that energy…

Roscoe is the old gentleman at 12 years of age. I love the paw he offered me! So polite.

Dawn warned me that they all love to sprint around the backyard for hours on end. She wasn’t kidding.

Thank you so much for introducing me to your furkids, Dawn! I can’t wait to show you all the poses they struck for me!
