Welcome to the website of Woofie the Wonder Dog (WWD)!
UPDATE 4/29/10 - Woofie is FIVE years old today! Happy Birthday, big girl! Over the past few months, Woofie has really come into her own with technology. She is an avid Apple fan (she still likes apples too - see below) and has gotten very involved in social media. She's all over Facebook and would love to connect with you here if you're also into canine social media. You can also follow Woofie on Twitter. And now let's catch up with our big girl's adventures over the past year. Here we go...
The kids really enjoy apple picking in the Fall.
Becca is considering whether or not to give Woofie ANOTHER apple core...
Woofie is hoping the answer is YES!
Woofie was
very excited to serve as the "Dog of Honor"
at the wedding of our pals, Darla and Betsy in Provincetown, RI
Woofie is romping here at the reception/clam bake on the beach (she likes clams!)
Woofie REALLY loves traveling in the car with the family
Woofie and Charlie - "ROAD TRIP!!!"
The big sofa continues to be among Woofie's
favorite spots to relax
Woofie is enjoying her new iBone.
She really doesn't know how she did without this magical device
for so long. She loves the snacks... err, apps!
Here's a nice outdoor moment with Woofie and Mimi the cat
Woofie REALLY likes her doggie sofa - this is actually where
she is SUPPOSED to be relaxing, but don't tell her...
In the first few months of 2010, the Philadelphia region had record snow...
Three of the top 10 snowstorms on record ALL came this winter.
This made backyard frolicking challenging for Woofie but she did great!
Once Spring came, Woofie started to enjoy more sunbathing
Woofie!!! Gosh, this is embarrassing...

UPDATE 4/29/09
- Woofie turns a BIG 4 years old today! She has to be one of the sweetest dogs around... Woofie continues to enjoy her morning walks with Vanessa and David. She REALLY likes the new convertible (lots of ears-flapping-in-the-breeze opportunities). And, naturally, as a Labrador Retriever, food, snacks, and treats continue to loom large in her world. And toys. And naps. And being groomed by Charlie. And watching TV with Becca. And singing along anytime she hears the "Happy Birthday" song. Here are more photos to keep everyone up to date on her adventures.
If you'd like to drop Woofie an email, click here - she's always eager to hear from new friends. On with the show...
Woofie relaxing at home... at least until Vanessa gets in her car
so Woofie can jump right back onto the sofa!
A calm moment of Labby snoozing...
Woofie loves a nice Springtime romp on the beach... brisk and refeshing!
Who's a big wet dog?!?
Woofie adds new meaning to the phrase "Beach ball"
Sniffing around Charlie Barone's pad... "Hmmm, smells like Dominique was here..."
Dog beach!
Tennis, anyone?
UPDATE 4/29/08 - Woofie is 3 years old today! Here are more photos from an action-packed year. Woofie explored more beaches. She ate LOTS of snacks. She relaxed on more sofas. She took many early morning walks with Vanessa. Woofie also enjoys lying at our feet during meals at the kitchen counter, watching TV (especially Oprah!) next to Rebecca after school, playing bubbles with Charlie, and playing "Kung Fu Dog" with David. Take a look at her latest adventures...

limited edition Jones Diet Cherry Soda!]
Woofie is such a good traveler - here she's helping David get ready for a family road trip!
Woofie always enjoys the 4th of July festivities... especially the snacks!!

Frisbee, anyone?

UPDATE 4/29/07 - Woofie is 2 years old today! Time flies when you're having fun. Here are some pictures Woofie wanted to share with everyone. These should give you a pretty good idea of what we mean when we say, "it's a dog's life."
Woofie really loves running and playing on the dog beach with her 'puppies':
Here's Woofie on her first visit to Pat's Steaks in South Philly:
For sisters, these two sure don't look alike... maybe that's why Woofie calls Mimi "Funny Puppy"
Charlie likes relaxing with the dog... and sometimes ON the dog:
Nothing beats hanging out on a lazy weekend with the family:
UPDATE 4/29/06 - Woofie is 1 year old today! In honor of her big day, here are some new photos from the archives:
Woofie, of course, is all grown up now as a big 1-year old. Here are some recent shots of her laughing and relaxing. (I bet you didn't know dogs could laugh, right?)
She may be getting to be a big girl, but she'll always act like THIS on the inside:
Woofie joined our family on Friday, June 17, 2005 after being born on April 29, 2005. She's a beautiful (and chewy) little Black Labrador Retriever from Ridgeway Labs in Richboro, PA.
As you can see from this picture below, Woofie started at a young age to be inquisitive, daring, and adventurous. She also did a pretty good job of picking us out as her new family!
Woofie came home in the car with us, and life has never been the same... for ANY of us (and that's a GOOD thing...)
Here's Woofie settled in comfortably at about 9 weeks old. Under this table is one of her favorite spots, since it's in close proximity to her best friend, the air conditioning vent!
