This one of Duke and me this year.. His first Christmas with us!!
I actually changed with photoshop, but thought I would show my progress!
Easter 2006
Duke met a couple of new family members and loved playing with the dogs! He was so gentle with my baby cousin too. He was a hit at the party!
Aaaaah! I finally got the chance to get on here. The computer is only working when it feels like it - booooooo! I think this was the longest it's gone without turning on - I thought it was done for sure this time!
I'll try to catch up with everyone before my luck runs out :)
Doggie paws.
I was actually trying to do a different type of photo but my dog definitely wasn't listening or standing still.
Geraldine just finished getting a drink. She is the old woman of the bunch. She'll be 16 years old Sept. 28th.

A Cockapoo is a cross breed dog, first bred in the United States. It is the cross of an American Cocker Spaniel or English Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle (in most cases a miniature poodle or toy poodle), or of two Cockapoos.
Cockapoos have become popular because they generally combine the outgoing, loving personality of the cocker spaniel with the low-shedding, low-dander qualities of the poodle. Poodles are intelligent and active, and thrive when they receive regular exercise.
The cockapoo is a cross-breed, not a purebred, and does not "breed true". In breeders' terms, "breeding true" means that the pups will have consistently predictable characteristics. Cockapoos, however, may inherit the characteristics of either or both their parent breeds. While some cockapoos appear more similar to cocker spaniels, others will exhibit more poodle traits, creating a variation in cockapoo appearance and temperament.
Cockapoos also vary in colour. They may be:
â–ªBlack
â–ªTan, beige, or buff
â–ªRed, including auburn and apricot colours
â–ªBrown, varying from light to dark and tan
â–ªSable, a brown colour with tipping and shading in black
â–ªCream
â–ªWhite
â–ªSilver
â–ªMixtures of more than one colour
Cockapoos can be one solid colour or can have complex markings. They may be white, black or brown with patches of any other colour, usually including coloured ears. They also may have spots or freckles on the muzzle or legs. In addition, they may have patches over the eyes, on the cheeks, on the chest or under the tail.
Cockapoos may also have a merle coat, where random portions are diluted to create a mottled appearance.
The coat of the Cockapoo will vary from dog to dog. Some will have the sleeker coat of the spaniel, while others may have a curlier coat like a Poodle. For many Cockapoos, their hair will be a mixture somewhere between the two.
Cockapoo size and weight are a function of what type of dogs the parents were. Breeders usually use a toy or miniature poodle as the poodle parent.
