    Freaked out - couldn't find Dozer anywhere. Even looked where he was but he was camouflaged! He had his head down and couldn't see anything but his body.

    My fur kids were very good to me on Mother's Day. I got tons of kisses from Princess and Jackson.

    I have three toy poodles that are all Therapy Dogs. They've been to nursing homes, hospitals, and the airport. Now they give me therapy.

    Kris is a Moyen. Only time he looks that nice is fresh from groomer. This is much more common. We got him in the middle of my treatment. image

    Spookie: Wow, another Moyen mom. I too have a Moyen, and when he calms down a bit will get him certified as a therapy dog. He does have his CGC and we are enjoying Rally classes which are a form of obedience work.

    Pinkismy - . I see that you are new to BC.org and recently diagnosed. Welcome and thank you for sharing -- I'm glad you have your little beauties for your own therapy now that you are part of a club that no one chooses. (((Hugs)))

    Wow!!! I'd never heard of Moyen until after we got him. I thought he was an oversized mini. Then I joined Poodle Talk forum. And they were discussing Moyen/Klein. And it fit. He was a rescue too. My 4th Poodle. Great dogs❤️image

    Welcome Pink!

    Well I made sure yesterday that I have plenty of ice on hand for Jackson and Princess for the next two days to put in their water dishes with the hot weather we are going to get for the next two days.

    Princess is being a brat cat today. Was sitting here a bit ago and all of the sudden I felt a cold nose on my bare foot. I looked down and she was getting ready to give me a love tap with her paw on my foot!

    Jackson just looked at her as if to say "Not nice Sissy!

    Sorry to say that our Brutus passed away over the weekend.....he was 12 years old.....not sure what happened...he went out back to do a little business, and my grandaughter called him, but he didn't come and normally he scratches on the door after being out 2 minutes.....she went out and found he had crawaled under the baby pool, and was almost lifeless....Vet said he had no clue what happened...possible stroke..they did do tests and founf a mass in his stomach, and neurological issues....which never showed up....he was fine.......very sad.....now she blames herself for putting him out in the heat.....really for 2 mintues...vet said "no", but she still blames herself.image

    You are very welcome.

    Had a hysterically funny email from an old friend from high school about an incident with her two Boxers yesterday. She told me that her younger Boxer, Grouse, walked over to Barley, the older one who was laying down and Grouse raised his leg and peed on poor Barley. I was laughing so hard over this I had tears running down my face and my sides still hurt.

    duckyb1: I'm so sorry for the loss of your Brutus. He was such a good pal.

    I hope that granddaughter will soon stop blaming herself. It's so hard to be the parent of a disabled child.
