The dog

We just got back from the beach. The kid wasn't thrilled with the sand this time....but, do you think the dog had fun? Doodle the Poodle jumped through the water the entire time....think she will be sleeping for days.

Being the clean freak that I am...I washed her every time after we took her to the beach....no sandy dogs in the house please. Can you imagine? Stinky.

So Shorty and I have always just taken her to regular grooming places....nothing fancy or special. Our neighbors have Standard Poodles and they always look so much better than Doodle...she always looks like Doodle the Shaggy Poodle compared to them.

So I found this place...that really only does Poodles. I took her there this morning.

When I walked in...I almost started laughing. It is called "Fee-Fees" yes...I know...I know.

The little old house was decorated with china plates with poodle profiles on them...you know..the kind you order out of the dorky magazines. (Sorry if you are a commemorative plate fan) ;)

So we picked her up today...and this is how she looks. This is what they are supposed to look like.

And she knows it.

Who would have thought this animal would be in the back of my car? She sure is sweet.

Think my kid likes her?

Dog Show!
