Today I decided to get another dog. A puppy. Specifically a female toy poodle. A friend and his partner have two male toy poodles and I fell in love with them. Never thought I'd get a small dog.
Theres a local breeder who just had a litter of 4 females and one male. My friends (who are buying the dog for me...$400 bucks) and I will visit the breeder this weekend so I can pick one of the females and put down a deposit.
The litter is 4 weeks old. Another 4 weeks to go until my new poodle pup can come home with me.
Toodles the poodle is the name I've picked.
It'll be fun training a new pup.

The new litter are black (my friends two poodles are from the same breeder, also black.) They look exactly like this pic...  |

While I don't much care for Poodles myself, I can't dislike any individual dog, esp. not a puppy. That little black dude is just too cute ... congratulations! There's nothing like having the pitter-patter of little feet in the house.
Why I remember when my Mastiff was just a tiny little girl ... only ten pounds at eight weeks ...
I want another puppy!

She (Toodles) will be my first pure-bred. Although Logi (my first doggie, a deceased rotty-shepard mix) will forever hold a place in my soul. |

Aww, thats a cute little puppy  I miss my dogs, they're my favourite creatures in the entire world. They're all at the folks' place & I admit I go back home to see them more than I do to visit my parents & sisters. One of our dogs, Rico, we got when my mother was going through a really bad depression & that dog saw her through it like nothing else. She told me years later he would just sit by her when he sensed she was feeling particularly sad & even to this day they have this very deep bond, stronger than any I've ever seen. Rico ADORES my mother & I think its because of her depression. Dogs are fucking awesome. Congrats on your new one, Pat. Do you have any other dogs at home right now? |

Love your current signature quote, Pat! Mom sent it to me in an "walking on eggshells" e-mail. Hint I suppose... |

Just got in from the poodle breeders, The Light Family, and picked out a solid black female poodle. She is what is called a "tea-cup" poodle. Ended up being 800 smackers. My friend and his partner shelled out 1/2 as the deposit. Vewy interesting last name of the breeders... They (the pups) are 6 weeks old and Toodles will be able to come home with me on May 13th. I'm sooooo excited! She's the sweetest one from the pups available. She will be about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of a toy. Thats why she's so expensive, being a tea-cup. Oh the joy and fun I'll have!  |

7 more days until Toodles the poodle can come home! Ordered a Bonsai tree/plant for me mummy for Mom's day. I hope she likes it. While I visited last year in Boston I noticed a distinct lack of living plants in the home. Hope she likes it...her hubby is into Kwan Tai...hope it grows in their home.  |

I like bonsais. I didn't know where else to post this, so I picked here. The other day my friend was approached by a bum who was carrying a kitten. He said "listen man, if you give me $5 I'll give you this kitten". My friend was like "heres a dollar, I don't want a kitten, but thanks". Then the bum says "I need $5 for food. if not, I'll kill the cat & eat it instead". My mate was like "wtf", but he figured this guy wasn't your regular street crazy & that he probably would eat the cat, so he gave him $5, took the cat & now has a new pet. He christened the kitten 'Fiver' in honour of his donation to the bum.  |
