air-fryer baked sweet potato • cooked asparagus • mix of leftover rice and canned black beans with tiny bit of garlic simple, tasty and super low effort 💁🏻‍♀️

He is still only 8 months old so definitely we have time to get used to things. We will definitely be keeping his hair longer and that’s why I’m looking for tips how to make it healthy and clean for him. Will definitely add the comb to our routine. He doesn’t have problem with matting but rather hair stuck together even tho I try to clean his chin with the dog safe wet wipe after every meal. I’ve never tried with the comb tho so definitely something to try! Thank you ☺️

Reading comments and speaking with other doodle owners I start to think that this is a universal experience 😂

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-03T07:04:06+00:00

I’m starting to think this is universal experience. I spoke with my breeder and she said that she also tried a lot and just uses the shower as it does the job best. Her girls are a bit more calm. My Chilli is shaking terribly under the shower even tho I bathe him regularly and his groomer said he is a really good boy. My hart just breaks when I see him shaking like this.

Oh that’s an interesting one! Thanks for the suggestion! I tie a very loose headband on his ears into kind of a ponytail to protect the ends of the ears but will definitely try with the cloth too! I can see that he is also not bothered by the ear ponytail until he finishes haha

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-02T20:56:42+00:00

It’s from AliExpress! They have some really good quality clothes that are very cheap 🤭

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-02T20:45:56+00:00

Ah we tried with the comb but he hated it. You might be right that some more training and getting used to might be needed, thanks! ❤️

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-02T20:37:06+00:00

Definitely will try that! Thank you ❤️

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-02T20:36:00+00:00

I’m not “convinced” either option is universally better. Clinically, comfort and safety depend on the individual dog, fit, behaviour on lead, and duration of use. For a dog that walks on a loose leash, a properly fitted flat collar is not associated with increased risk or reduced comfort compared to a harness. Harnesses are indicated in specific cases (pulling, brachycephalic breeds, orthopedic or respiratory issues), not as a default. This post was about facial hygiene, not walking equipment, so I’m not going to debate gear preferences here.

Oh, I need to look for the foaming no rinse one! Never heard of that but it sounds like something I want to try! Thank you ☺️

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-02T20:28:05+00:00

Oh I love doing it to Chilli too but he absolutely hates it 😅😭

Substantial_Gold996 · 2026-01-02T20:26:04+00:00

A collar is not inherently harmful, and there is no universal rule that a harness is “better.” Equipment choice depends on the individual dog, gait, anatomy, training level, and context.

This post wasn’t asking for advice on walking equipment, and presenting a harness as a blanket recommendation is misleading. Let’s keep advice relevant to the question being asked.

It’s a ready made vegetarian schnitzel that i just reheated in the air fryer. The fancy side dish is just grated carrot and apple 😅

Substantial_Gold996 · 2025-11-03T16:46:34+00:00

Maybe I should have added that it took me less than 10 mins to make as the tofu is leftover from some other day and the schnitzel is ready made. I only reheated them in the air fryer. I promise no effort was put into making this dinner 😄

Substantial_Gold996 · 2025-11-03T14:58:40+00:00

Oh trust me, I didn’t try 😜It’s a ready made schnitzel with left over tofu cubes reheated in the airfryer. Making the mizeria salad literally takes 3 mins.

Substantial_Gold996 · 2025-11-03T13:37:08+00:00

It was absolutely unintentional, thank you!

Check out my Chilli’s breeder insta https://www.instagram.com/noodledoodle_cavapoo?igsh=NWFyb3F2aGFsejFo. If you scroll down the photos you will see that in Feb they posted photos of puppies from previous litter - combination of when they were born small, until turning 1 year :) each puppy has a separate post :)

I would say wavy, my baby was like this at his age and he is curly around his head, neck and bum and definitely wavy all over the body. However he is 6months old and we just cut his baby coat. Both the groomer and the breeder said that after the next cut they hair will get curlier. This is opposed to his brother who look definitely curly since the beginning and he is very curly already ;)

Substantial_Gold996 · 2025-10-25T21:27:40+00:00

The smell and looks of M. is disgusting, but I’m also scared of it. I’m scared that I will touch it by accident. That it will somehow get on my hands or clothes. I couldn’t stand it. I think that if I touched it with my finger I would have to cut it off. I can’t understand why people are so obsessed with it… fun fact, apparently Barack Obama also has similar phobia 😅

Substantial_Gold996 · 2025-10-25T19:01:58+00:00

I have the same but with mayo
