Poodle Parties at the Friedman's
Scot and Lisa Friedman have hosted poodle parties for Raspberry Woods puppies that live within driving distance. Pictures from their first 2009 party are featured on the Sharing the Fun page under Jazz's December litter of 2008. Below are pictures from their July 23, 2010 party. We traveled to their lake property near Eaton, Ohio taking Jazz, Cedar and Max to join the party. Four of our puppies and their families live in Southern Ohio and three were able to attend. Of course Scot and Lisa's Ruben was there along with Nellie, owned by Lou Sharpshair, and Leo, owned by Bill and Liz Temple. It was lots of fun and we are all very thankful to the Friedman's for opening their beautiful lake property to us all! (Scroll down to see our newest pictures from the 2011 party)
"Welcome to my lake house!" Ruben was the poodle host of the party.
All wait patiently for their party treats from Bill.
Tom and Scot take Ruben, Max, and Cedar for a ride!
Nellie is fast and determined at water retrieving. Lou, you might want to get her in competition!
Our three gorgeous female swimmers catch some rays on the dock!
Leo was the youngest of the six poodles. He is from Jazz and Max's last litter and is 9 months old in this picture. This is his first time to swim, and he is doing great!
Ruben even takes Cedar, Jazz, and Max for a ride in his 1966 red Pontiac convertable! "Hey Scot! We need the keys, please!"
Sorry, Lisa. I couldn't resist putting up this almost perfect butt shot.

Jazz spendsa lot of time swimming and looking for fish. She spends hours in our pond at home looking for fish and has caught one so far!
Cedar watches as Leo and Ruben wrestle.
Enjoying my puppies!
In the evening, Scot and Lisa took us for a pontoon ride around the lake. Everyone, person or poodle, enjoyed this relaxing ride.

Lou, and his best friend, Nellie!
Cedar loved this boat ride; a great way to end this exciting day!
No, this is not a poodle! Cute little Sukie might have been out-numbered, but she could hide in or get through places that those big poodles could not!
2011 Poodle Party at the Friedman's
The 2011 party was another great party with 9 poodles and 12 humans in attendence. We had a great time again swimming with the dogs and eating lots of great food. Thanks again to the Scot, Lisa and Ruben for opening their home to us all! Enjoy the pictures.
This year, Ruben was the perfect host again, taking his guests on a ride in his motorcycle and side car.
Cooling off on this hot August day! The poodles swim to the rafts, where they can rest for a few minutes.
6 month old Ruskin attended his first poodle party!

Lou's Nellie spent lots of time retrieving. She is so good at it and fast as well!
Time for Lisa's delicious liver brownies!

Scot really knows how to grill hamburgers! Thanks, Scot!
