Labradoodlez managed to raise £136 for Hearing Dogs For Deaf people at their summer fayre last Sunday. We had a fantastic time, me and Rob got lost on the way but we got their in the end.

It was a fantastic show! There were amazing demonstrations going on such as the amazing Jive pony and they also showed how the Hearing dogs work. A special thank you to Hannah who let me sit under her gazebo and who also promoted the doodles and organised the que! You were a star we couldn’t have raised this much with out you! All of the people involved with HDFDP are a bunch of treaures they work so hard for this amazing charity and its always going to be dear to my heart. It was so great to see how much people with hearing loss benifit from having a Hearing dog and how well they worked as a team. visit www.hearingdogs.org.uk for more information.

We met lots of lovely dogs including a very talented fallen angel, Bungle. His owner is a trainer at Hearing dogs and was very happy to show me his awesome skills. She said that it is important to teach your dogs tricks as it helps alot with thier mental stimulation and it strengthens the bond between you and your dog. She works with training Hearing dogs for children and she told me alot of the children want to show what their dog can do with their friends, but they can’t demonstrate the working side of the dog so they are shown how to train their dog to do impressive moves such as hiding thier face with their paw and playing dead. Bungle never made it as a hearing dog, but he is still an awesome dog and a total sweety!

Here’s Busta not looking very chuffed with my drawing of him

More news…

Meet our new dog Banjo… aquired way back in Febuary from Second Chance one day after I was mucking out the guineapigs. I took her on as a foster when she was only 13 weeks but she decided that she wanted to live with us. Welcome to the family, Banjo! Mwah!! xx

Happy Birthday DD!!

My little DD is all grown up, she turned One on the 31st May. We did her a very last minute mini birthday party with her doggy friends. Here she is looking a bit confused by the cake.

Me and DD’s best friend, Willow cutting the cake DD in the middle still looking very bewildered by the whole thing.

See you very soon with another post from the doodle news!

Its been a bit hetic here with Labradoodlez and its other projects. I would like to announce that Labradoodlez is working on a few new projects, hopefully the new year is going to bring us lots of fresh new things for the website including its very own web comic. 

Labradoodlez is still available for Summer fundraising so please get in touch if you are interested! Back in 2009 I designed Christmas cards for Second chance animal rescue which they had printed to sell in their charity shop and they went down a storm! Please get in touch if you would like to talk to me about having your charities very own greetings cards designed.

Over Christmas I attended some fun events up at the Second Chance Rescue. There was the Spanish dog renunion and we had a lovely xmas dog walk with mince pies and coffee. We also went to the Manor farm touch lit nativity tour and Managed to raise some money among some other charities at the Xmas Bazaar. I would also like to make a special mention the amazing people who worked on Christmas day and the rest of the holiday season cleaning out and feeding the animals at the rescue. Well done everyone!

Here’s everyone at the Second Chance Xmas dog walk 2009

My Little deaf dog DD is doing very well she has completed her silver level now and is starting gold this friday. We are also going to be starting Ralley with Best Buddies.

Hello! Last weekend I went up to Southampton Animal Rescue to help walk the dogs with some people I met on a group dog walk with DD. They go every Saturday and Sunday without fail! Even Christmas day and some other people go during the week day too! The animals there are so lucky because there’s lots of people willing to help out.

 Most of the dogs are rescued from Spain and have been there for quite a while now. I walked a beautiful eighteen month old lurcher called Sophie on the Saturday. She’s very friendly and loving she’s the sort of dog that smiles with her eyes when she looks at people. She had been homed once before but she had to be brought back to the rescue because of the recession and she can jump six foot high fences. Its so sad, but I’m sure one day she will find a loving home because she’s just so adorable!

On the Sunday Rob came along too, we both walked a pair of real mix-ups. I can’t really tell what breed they are,  a lot of the Spanish dogs are hard to tell what they are mixed with because some of the breeds are unique to Spain. Rob walked Nana she looked quite like a Beagle Staffy mix, and I walked Sunny but I really couldn’t guess what he is, but he was very Handsome. You can check out some of the dogs on their website. http://www.secondchanceanimalrescue.org.uk/dogs.html

 It’s a lovely walk where we take the dogs. We just walk out the back gate and we’re slap bang in the country park. Its lovely. We had a lot of fun walking the dogs or should I say the dogs walking us as they didn’t half pull But we really didn’t mind with a bit of training from their new owners they are going to be absolutely perfect companions for them. I really liked Sunny I have developed quite a soft spot for him! But I couldn’t accommodate another dog at the moment and I really need to concentrate on DD’s training. But one day Rob and I are hoping to get a bigger house so we can get another dog so DD can have a hearing buddy when we go on our walks because with her being deaf we aren’t confidant that she will come back when we let her off the lead, but she’s only a baby yet so who knows? 

 This weekend I’m walking the dogs again with The charity Moon Bear walk. Might see you there if not please donate on the website

On Sunday the 6th September my boyfriend and I packed up his car and headed towards Denmead with our dog DD for The Labrador retriever rescue Puppy party where we had a stall doing charity dog caricatures for them. We nearly didn’t make it as good old google maps sent us on a very pretty but long scenic route .

We finally got there, but unfortunately Rob had to pop into work and had to take DD with him. I would normally keep DD on the stall with me on my own but we didn’t bring her pen this time as we thought she would be ok with Rob on her lead and she had her little pop up kennel bed with her and some blankets incase she got tired. But we decided it would be best for her to go back with Rob and come later. Which was a shame because she does enjoy sitting with me on the stalls and meeting lots of other dogs and people.

It was a brilliant day! I have never seen so many Labs in my life! The charity founders Jean and her husband are amazing! I was amazed at how devoted they were to the charity and their dogs they truely are an awesome couple for what they do! I was so touched by the volunteers and everyone who helps out at their rescue! You lot really are brilliant! I was nearly in tears at the stories of the rescued dogs but where they started off as a tragedy they all ended up with happy endings!

After many doggy doodles and getting to see lots of fun dog shows including a rather fantastic Dog agility display by BarkRight. Rob and DD came to pick me up.

DD got to see some dogs and get lots of fuss but she did look funny surrounded by all the big labs towering over her. We got some cake from the cake stall and I bought DD a nice toy in the shape of a pair of lips with a tongue sticking out, she looked well funny chewing it.

We raised £58.00 for TLRRSE and hopefully will raise more in the future! Big thanks to Jean for letting me come and help, because it doesn’t just help raise money it also helps promote my labradoodlez so THANKYOU SO MUCH

please visit www.labrador-rescue.org.uk to help labs in need!

Welcome to my new website, I have been inspired by all the fabulous comments and huge delight that everyone gets when they see my ‘caricapaws’. For years I have been doing these for friends and family and for years they have said ‘Yikes these are ace, you should share them with the world over the Internet!’… so here I am.

I hope you like what you see and I hope that you may like to buy a few for your self or your family and friends, you can be assured of getting a great result and an honest personal service.

Best wishes
Charley
