Ivy went home. She was happy to see her family and you could tell they missed her. She’s a loved member of the family! We will miss her she’s so darn sweet! Such a good girl, absolutely no trouble. I like having our babies back, naturally I think they are FABULOUS but it’s nice to see what calm sweet pets they grew in to. Pups will miss their big sister😓

We love Lexie and Rosalie visits. RENE just lights up when her sister comes. There is nothing as special as litter mates, the relationship really reminds me of human twins. They even walk/ run in step. They seek each other out to lay next to each other and cuddle. It is very special. You will hear people say never get litter mates they won’t bond with the people but that is SO NOT TRUE of poodles. Another dog completes their world ( they are pack animals) they are so happy to have people that love them and the company of another canine. Two babies are not more work, you are doing the same for one anyway. Two pups at once is easier than adding a dog later😊 puppyhood which is short anyway is over and done at once. Two poodles are twice the fun!

We had such a fun play date at the park with Lexie and Reggie’s CURLY GIRLS Betti/Bettina and Anniken/Annushka!! There was the usual dog drama in the beginning but they settled down and had a good romp. Lexie and Rosalie were there too, Ivy and the three pups (14 girls) the weather wasn’t bad so we stayed 2.5 hours!! Dogs were EXHAUSTED (the triplets actually slept ALL NIGHT😀) . Harlee wasn’t happy she missed it ( fell on her moms days) but there will be more chances to play😀

JoDee looks so cute (although I miss her fuzz ball hair) she was so hot in the house 😕 if it gets cold I’ll put a coat on her, although they go out every couple hours they are not out for very long. We haven’t had an accident in the house in weeks. I moved them up to my bedroom at night, they sleep in a crate in my walk in closet. They get me up between 1:30 and 2:30 to potty then settle back in until 5:30-6:30 the second they cry PARRIS comes over and nudges me to wake me up ( I try to ignore all of them as long as I can) good crate training too, they are happy to be upstairs with us.

The girls love Harlee😀 they love laying on her bed while she watches movies. JoDee teased to get on Harlee’s lap and was happy hanging there. She’s a cuddler.

WHAT ELSE would you get a poodle girl for Xmas? We played and its fun😀 you can get one on Amazon. Bill bought a house ( they have been renting since the fire) and it needs some work so to help out I go over for a couple hours while he’s at work to paint, hang trim, lay bathroom floor etc. small projects I can do alone. Harlee’s room is light pink and Trisha got her a beautiful bed set in fuschia camo and DUCK DYNASTY Fatheads. She will love her new bedroom! Everybody here doing great. Patty/Ivy fits right in and is having a great time. Babies are adorable, they really mind very well and do what ever the big dogs are doing and adults seem to like having babies to play with. Life is good!

Such silly girls!! Haha, crammed into the crate, that thing was just a rockin! I love how poodles play, it is very different from other breeds. Lots of mouth fights and rearing up on back legs. I could watch them all day. People will comment that their dog is not aggressive, how can you mistake play for aggression? Their entire body (except for teeth) conveys fun. Poodles are FUN! And puppies are even more fun😀

My baby DOTTIE!! So much like her sweet mother. Needs to touch your feet, and loves to cuddle. I’m thinking I need to give her a big girl haircut, she pants in the house. She has two weeks longer hair than Highness and Raina and I think because it’s been so warm she is not comfortable. It’s easy enough to put a coat on her for her romps outside and have her the right temp inside. ☺️I hate to cut that fluffy long puppy hair 😩

I am really happy with the RENE & WALLY babies, so darn cute and that litter had SO many colors. I think Raina will stay pretty dark. She is so easy going, bouncy and so darn cute. Highness reminds me of RENE, very low key until pissed off, she has an elegant proud prance. Both wonderful girls, we are really enjoying their antics. BUT not so much the barking during the night, I think they figure they have been downstairs long enough and want up! I’m thinking I’ll need to crate them in my bedroom which I’d rather not do since they can’t go outside😳 they are pretty spoiled, they do whatever we’re doing. I’ve refused a few homes they would be alone all day and after being with so much company I don’t think that’s a decision for them, they’d be so lonely. No matter, I’m happy to keep them until the perfect family comes along!!

Holy cow ten already!! Where does the time go? I’m very proud of our girl, she’s a good helper and always very kind to all the dogs. She has a kitten at her moms house that she really enjoys. She got a cell phone for her birthday, we love texting back and forth on the days she’s not with us. She’ll be here until Christmas Day! yeah!
