Wild or styled?

Charlie had his first full grooming this week. As you can see, it’s pretty dramatic. Either way he’s adorable to me! 💙💙

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

  5. Funny. Bella needs grooming every 4 months or so. She goes fromshaggy and wild to pretty and precise. I can never decide which look I like better. I’ve decided t to be grateful for the variety she provides.
