 Getting Schooled…Doodle Style 

 Today is Leo’s day and he is focusing on the letter…

C

And his word is:

CHAPEAU  

SHaˈpō|

NOUN

Definition: a hat or cap

Leo’s sentence: I love nothing more than “styling & profiling” in my ole man’s CHAPEAU.

I’m loving this challenge and all the creativity in such PAWsome writing. So happy to hear that you are enjoying our vocabulary journey, please stick around, more words with pictures to come.

      If there’s ever a GQ Magazine for dogs, we want to be on it!!!

  • Emma

    This one is kind of scary as it sounds like shampoo which means bath, which means I better run like I see a wabbit!

    • Cathy Bennett
      April 3, 2014

      Emma, come to think of it – it sure does. Especially if you put a little European accent along with it. But have no fear, no baths here, at least not today!

    I love Leo in that hat he should be on the cover of GQ magazine for goldendoodles!!!!

    • Cathy Bennett
      April 3, 2014

      We couldn’t agree more Yvonne. Go ahead, send them letter along with the photo. Leo will let you represent him 🙂

    There’s a hat store near my day job that I love. The hats are super expensive, but I love them and I want to treat myself to one some day.

    • Cathy Bennett

      Fur Mom, do what we do, we try them on, take photos and feel as if we’ve spent a mint 🙂 but we still have $$ for treats later…

    Loving it! My Dash is 7 years old today. Lilly will be 6 in June. Dash is 40 pounds and Lilly is 50 pounds. We don’t tell Dash he is the smallest … we call him the Big Guy!
    Have a doodle day!

      Why thank you very much Erin!!! Can’t wear it when Doodle Dad is around 🙁

  • Flea

    I love a good chapeau! Especially on my dogs! Or my chickens. Or my ducks. Y’know – if the hat fits …

    • Cathy Bennett
      April 3, 2014

      “Jaunty” we like that word Karl – will definitely put it to good use in the future: thank you 🙂

    Now Luna just needs to find her own Chapeau to join in the fun!

    • Cathy Bennett
      April 3, 2014

      Luna Girl – we see you in a small pastel derby slightly tilted to the side! You could definitely rock that 🙂

  • Bethany

    When I saw that word I just knew there would be an adorable photo to match! I have a massive vintage chapeau collection… and the last time I wore one was about five years ago. Thanks for doing a word I knew. I’m sure that won’t happen often this month.

    • Cathy Bennett

      Oh ye of little faith Bethany. I PAWmise you there will be other words that you will recognize. Just you wait. My daughter would love a vintage collection of hats. She is a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, and loves to wear the same style hat Audrey wore in all of her films.

    Where did Leo learn to speak French?

    • Cathy Bennett

      Hi Pamela – Rosetta Stone tapes 🙂

    I stopped in my tracks when I saw your post title, “Chapeau”… my husband wrote an essay a few weeks ago about his time in Paris, where he lived when he was much younger, way before he met me. The title of his essay is also “Chapeau” !! LOL!! Small world, gettin’ smaller!

      OMD Kathy, that is funny. Did you tell him about Leo’s word today?

  • Mary from YourDesignerDog
    April 4, 2014

    Woohoo! A word I already knew! Love the hat picture! Looks like it works nicely to keep the sun out of his eyes.

    • Cathy Bennett
      April 4, 2014

      Look at you Mary – you go girl 🙂 Unfortunately the hat was on unofficial and unapproved loan from the ole man. Leo loves hats, but that one wasn’t going very far on his head!
      Thanks for reading, please come back…

  • Erica

    Looking very cool, Leo. My Trudy would have eaten the hat.

    • Cathy Bennett
      April 4, 2014

      Nooooo, we can’t believe Trudy would do such a thing.
