Hey Laura & family-- I just wanted to keep in touch. Harrison is doing great. I love the picture of him on your website. Talk to you soon

Beau and Daisy Mae are both alive, well and loved. We have enjoyed then so much! They play together and entertain us in the process. It broke our hearts to hear of your misfortune. So often good comes out of bad. I am hoping that you will be able to find the good. May God bless you all!

Hi Laura and Family! Dan and I would like to tell you that Yogi, who recently turned two years old, is doing great! He is very happy and healthy and we love him so much. We are terribly sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers.

Hello Sara! Thank you for the update on Harrison. :) I love the pic of him on the site too! I am so sorry he lost a fine brother. Probably one of the best puppies I ever had. I miss him terribly. Take care Sara and keep in touch! laura

It broke my heart to read about the tragic loss of your dogs and your home. I pray for your comfort. You have brought joy and comfort to my family. Year-old Molly is healthy, happy and about as cute as a dog can be. I hope you are sustained by the knowledge of the happiness you have provided others through your breeding.

Laura and family: We are so very sorry for all the sadness you've had to endure. Buttercup is doing great. It made me cry to know her sister Wren didn't make it. You have blessed many homes with your incredible babies. We can't imagine our lives without Buttercup anymore than we can imagine life without our kids. You are the best breeder I have ever known! May God bless you and keep you...... Hugs & Kisses from all of us in Raleigh to you and yours. Let us know if there is anything we can do. (jarostegui@nc.rr.com) Love, Jenny

I am so sorry to hear about your fire 7 losing your beloved dogs. I am still crying while I write this to you. God bless you & help you cope with this horrible loss. Sincerely, Jodi carlin

Laura, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We will continue to pray to God for your full recovery. Wrigley (Gilbert) is now 6 months old and is beautful. He has turned from a black puppy into a white and black puppy. He weights about 28 lbs. He has been such a blessing in our life. We had to put Frazier to sleep, he was so sick at the end and it was so nice to have Wrigley to help during thta stressful time. Wrigley loves to camp with us. He is a hoot! Bob and Marcia Fisher Cary NC

Laura You have been in my prayers, I still cry when I think of the loss you and your family have had. It was just a month before you loss that we picked up Nevaeh (Sparrow). She is doing wonderful. We have taken her camping with us and on the boat, she loves it all. I still have not figured out how to keep her with us without her leash. This is my biggest challenge. God Bless you and your family and let me know how things are going. Do you have a new house yet or are you still living in temp housing? Candy, Lagrange, IN

Hi Laura and family: I just visited your website to show my mother Murphy's lineage, and read of your tragedy!!! I know that this has been a very difficult time for you all. I also know how close you were to Wiggle and Charm - I do feel for you at this time and we will be very conscious about praying for you all. Are there any practical needs at this time? Clothes? Money? I do have all the emails you sent me with pictures so if you want me to forward them to you at some time let me know. May God who is faithful show His face and ways to you during this challenging period. Thinking of you at this time, Sheila Caldis and family

By the way, Laura and Beth, Murphy who is now 10 months, continues to bring us such joy and is certainly a very prominent member of the family. We were recently on a road trip with him, took him to the Outer Banks with us and he was VERY taken with the water on the Sound side - not as crazy about the waves, though. He loved the sand and dug to his heart's content. He is very cheeky, loves to "have us on" in a game of tag, plays hide 'n go seek in the house with Maddie and continues to have an incessant need to chew! We love him dearly! Again, thank you. Sheila

Laura, We just learned of your terrible loss and are heart broken because we know how much you love your babies. Our Skip (Boo Boo) is the love of our life and spoiled rotten. Dennis says he would't be surprised if Skip spoke to him one day--he is so smart and such a joy. You and your family are certainly in our prayers. We pray that God will sustain you and your family and continue to comfort you as you heal. We will always appreciate the extra effot you took in getting Boo Boo to us in Alabama. Love and prayers--Dennis and Pat

Laura: I periodically visit your website to see what kinds of pups you have. I was shocked when I read your news today. I am so sorry for your loss. I started crying reading your message, as it brought back terrible memories of loosing my golden in January. I know you and your family are just devastated. It is like loosing a family member. When I visted you that once I could tell how you and your children loved them all so. I am truely sick to hear the news and wish your family all the best. I was happy to hear that you and your family were safe and that not all parished in the fire. I will continue to check your website for updates. God Bless kathleen_ehrler@yahoo.com (morehead city, nc)

Hello from up the street in Wilmington. Rick and I were saddened by the news of your fire....we remember all of those dogs well. Our boy, Newman (Jax), has brought us an infinite amount of joy. He is the most perfect dog. I tutor and teach piano to about 50 different kids and he loves them all. He lies on an ottoman next to the piano when the children play....he prefers the piano bench, but I only let him up there when I am the one playing....no, there is not much room for me now that he is grown!!!! I walk him often at Wrightsville Beach and I can not tell you how many people think he's adorable....most people know him better than they know me! Newman was the largest one in his litter but he is not very big....maybe 28-30Lbs and he has the most beautiful black, soft, slight-curly hair. He also loves running in and out of the ocean as he attempts to catch the birds. He smells like fish sometimes, but he always enjoys and warm shower and a session with the blow dryer. He sleeps with us, of course, and always manages to nab the center of the bed....flat on his back with his arms and legs wide open....we can't resist letting him stay. As I said earlier....he is the perfect dog for us. Please call or e-mail if you can think of any thing at all that we can do for you. Fondly, Linda Hine

Hi Laura, we are very sorry to hear of the loss of the dogs and your house. We are very saddened by this news.We have been intending to write you and tell you how much we love and enjoy Marigold! (The name that you gave to her seemed to suit her, so we kept it.) She just celebrated her 2nd birhday but it seems as though she has always been a part of our family. She is so much fun and brings so much joy and happiness, she has been a wonderful addition to our family! We all love her. Take care, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Philip and Janet.

Just to give you and update: Riley Nesbitt is doing great. He is now 3 years old and becoming quite a gentleman, but still full of energy! he grew to 90 pounds, so he is our gentle giant! Thanks so much for the awesome dog. He is the love of our life@!

Thank you for our wonderful puppy Emmy. Her name was Penny Ann and is now almost 3 years old. She is still fiestly but is the love of our lifes and a joy to everyone who meets her. Please contact us if you are going to breed anytime soon. We are very sorry for your lose. -Ragazzo's

Hi There! I purchased a Blonde labradoodle in '07. His Name is Bailey. I came to pick him up with my two young girls! He has been such a blessing and a true member of our family! What a wonderful personality he has. He is ready for a friend though and I thought I would visit your site to see if you had any puppies available and I read the shocking news about your house fire. I am so sad. God Bless you and your family. Our families prayers are with you and yours. The Niswongers Paul, Lisa, Mary Kate, Martha Kae, and Bailey.

Hello everyone! I am now getting settled in here in Oklahoma. Thanks so much for your posts! It is so good to hear from you all. And to hear how the babies are doing. What a thrill to hear from you. :o) Wow, Riley is 90 pounds! How did that happen? I bet he is a gentle giant. And marigold, Jax, Butter cup, Bailey, Penny Ann, Skip, Murphy,Sparrow, Gilber, Bella,Yogi, Daisy Mae, Beau, Harrison, Molly, Samson... I remember each one -what a delight! Bunny is expecting puppies in August. I can hardly wait! Take care! --laura

I was searching for goldendoodles for our three young children -10, 2 and infant and I read about your house fire. July 4th of 07 our house burned completely down. Our three pets were inside - we lived in rural claremore and the fire department wasn't coming fast enough and I sent my husband in to retrieve our pets and he was trapped inside...he was able to round up all of them - they all hid in different areas. He finally was able to get the pets and himself out through our daughters window. A year later, we are still recovering slowly from losing everything but our lives!! I hope you and your family are doing well...I am interested in a puppy for my kiddos!!

Hello, I give you all my condolences for going through what you did last year. Just seeing that your husband went back inside to get your pets makes my heart race! He is truly a hero to you, all I am sure. I am sorry, I have not checked my blog for a while and didn't notice your message. I would be happy to include you in our waiting list for puppies the next time we hav a litter. Let me know if you are interested by emailling me at carolinadoodles@gmail.com Take care! :o) laura

Laura, I was just thinking of you and your family during the holidays and wanted to send our thoughts and prayers to y'all. I see you have moved to Oklahoma and hope you are enjoying it out there. Bella is doing wonderful (I can't believe that she is 4 1/2 years old), she is such a sweet dog and has been wonderful this past year for us. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have gone through chemo, surgery and am now undergoing radiation, but I am cancer free so all is well!!! Bill - who I was dating when we got Bella was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and is also cancer free. Bella has been my strength through much of this and I am so thankful for her!!! Bill and I also got married this year - so not all news this year has been bad:) So, I just wanted to drop you a line to again thank you for our precious little girl!!! Take care - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Jennifer Jackson Miller

Jennifer! Congratulations! Not only for getting married, but for good news regarding your cancer and your husband's cancer! Wow. I am so pleased for you both. I hope you had a good christmas and I hope your new year is full of blessings. Give Bella a hug from us. I am thrilled that she has been part of your family and has been a comfort to you while you have gone through such challenges. Are you still in South Carolina? Take care! :o) laura

Hi Laura,I just learned of your website and wanted to let you know how one of your darling puppies is doing. His name was Zip and was a gift to me and my husband from our son and daughter-in-law, Tom and Kathy. We renamed him Buddy, as he immediately became a very loving buddy to us. He is now 7 months and weighs 26 lbs. He is a wonderful puppy, although still a little naughty at times. He loves people and other dogs so much, so we take him to the dog park as often as we can. Our granddaughter has one of his brothers, so they get to play occasionally. They have such a grand time together and it is so much fun to watch them. Buddy loves to play ball and walks around with a tennis ball in his mouth a lot. I'll send a picture of him soon. Thank you so much for your part in bringing this joy into our home.- Lora Stewart

Hello Lora, I am so, so delighted to hear from you! Your little Buddy was such a sweet puppy to raise here. He was so easy to carry around like a baby. My son named him Zip and carried him around all the time. He wants to name one of our new puppies, Zip, in honor of your Buddy. We would love to see any pics including any of "Banjo", his brother (I can't remember what they decided to call him.) Thanks so much! :O) laura

Our Rosie May is well 14 weeks today. She is so smart. Rings a bell by the door to go out, luv's to fetch the tennis ball. She will sit and give her paw. We just luv her to death. She is about 16 lbs. now and will go to the groomer for the first time tomorrow. Thank-You again. Michael

Laura: Tuesday was the first birthday for our darling Buddy (Zip). We had a party for him and his brother Luke (Banjo), complete with party hats, presents and birthday cakes. Buddy is beginning to mature a little. He is still pretty naughty at times and still loves to play ball. He has learned to shake hands, but expects a little treat in return. I will send a picture of the party. Lora Stewart

Happy Birthday, Zip (Buddy)!! And Banjo (Luke)!! And all the your brothers and sisters too. Thanks so much for the picture, I think they are happy! I imagine they enjoy visiting each other and getting to play together. They were such cute little pups. :O) Thanks so much for the update, Lora. Take care, laura
