Dahlia, the Doodle ($428/$5k for service dog training)

Dahlia, the Doodle, looking like a poodle with her freshly trimmed face and paws.

I did a thing! I have zero training as a groomer, and I'm just learning as I go. But I think I'm making progress. I didn't touch her head floof yet, but that's next. It's a total mess. I just did her face and front paws today. She was totally done after that. But she was such a good girl!!

Woof

Toast and egg, a dinner tray, and Dahlia's face poking out from under the tray as she stares my breakfast

"U gunna finish dat?"

Dog owners with reactive dogs who don't even try to use "leave it", what's the deal?

Fake communist alert. Nazbol lol

Cheers. They're beautiful. Bet they smell amazing.

I only see pillows

Just a bunny for your enjoyment

Day 2 with Dahlia. Can't believe we're already approaching 1 year since I adopted her.

Guess who's in heat again

I think I've watched this video 100x. It never gets old.

Just in case you still don't understand how precious Dahlia is. She loves giving Dolly kisses so much. Dolly is sweet enough to put up with it.

Just remember that there are puppies and bunnies, and they live on the same planet and OMG humanity is so lucky that just looking at cute things makes us feel better

I trimmed Dahlia up yesterday and she looks so adorable with her little face under the floof with big ears.

Back when Dahlia was just a little lint ball, 3 days after she adopted me

❤️ thank you!

The plastic bag filled with pork tenderloin fillets

If you're in the Seattle area and you're looking for low price/high value treats, I'm selling these pork jerky treat packs for $8 (sliding scale)/tenderloin, which is roughly 1.5lbs, or about 3/4lb after dehydration. I'm having a tough time raising money for Dahlia's service dog training :/

Dahlia heeds the call of the mountain #goldendoodles

Look at this goober. Just look at her. That is all.

Dahlia showing off how good she is at fetch

😡 Let whoever did that know that I love the taste of trachea

Itches need scritches

To be clear, she is still pretty small at 11.5lbs

Tiny goldendoodle sitting on the carpet looking up at the camera with the most precious little smile you've ever seen.

Dahlia a month after I got her. She was so small. I don't think she has even hit 8lbs yet.

Got a long rope for all the dogs at the park to play with. Here's Dahlia beating Dolly at tug with a little help from Bowser.

I'm pretty sure the guy who he called a faggot is someone I know from the park. A really nice guy, too. His dog is just a rambunctious and adorable little terrier who likes to pee on anything, including my backpack the one time I left it on the ground.
