Thread Name: BS: How do we improve on the poodle?
Subject: RE: BS: How do we improve on the poodle?
What Cluin, Gnu and Metchosin said--twice!
Our poodle, Woof, was a wonderful companion for all his 17 years. He was indeed smarter than the average bear, sweet-tempered until age got to him, and one of the best friends anyone could have had. He loved to travel, and was always up for a ride, even if it was just to the grocery store. Walks with him were a joy because he had so much fun on them.
We did not, however, "clip" him--just "clippered" him when he needed it. He would stand very patiently while Dad took the hair clippers to him, and loved to show off his new haircut when it was done.
