last day

Well, hard to believe it but its our last-last day of school. We survived! My latest update on my poodle.....daddy is getting grumpy about our sleeping arrangements. Which is Jelly in between us. For a 5 lb. dog she IS a bed hog. She cuddles up to me and stretches her legs out right into Larry's back. She uses him as leverage every time she moves. Not to mention it's increasingly difficult to have any intimacy with the poodle wanting all the attention. Oy-yoy hmmm... the poodle or the husband....????? Decisions-decisions. HELP- I think we need the dog whisperer!

Hello, it's been a while. It's an amazing 90 degrees out so Jelly and I have been sunning ourselves down by the river. A little piece of pure bliss. The water is refreshing and the sun medicinal! Jelly came in the water with me and then ran around like a fool...so cute. I think I live in the wrong climate!?

We just got back from April vacation...sooo saaad! Larry Josh and I drove to South Carolina to visit my son, Justin - daughter in law, Jillian and my beautiful grandson, Parker. It's difficult for me to talk about but... Poor Jelly couldn't come. The poodle and 18 hours in the truck was just not going to happen. Jelly went to Larry's daughter's house and was spoiled rotten! We had a wonderful time down south. Parker is absolutely adorable!!! Nana had a hard time leaving:( I put in a picture of him. He looks like he's flexing his muscles. It makes me laugh! Back to Jelly... notice the look she gave me for leaving her home. Gives new meaning to evil eye!!

Jelly 4/13/10

Well spring is here! POOR poodle. It's time for the spring shearing. Her woolie mammoth coat will be lambie like and she will prance like a princess. I bet you're thinking, "Hmmm... Does this poodle have a name?" We lovingly call her, Jelly. Yes, a jiggling, wiggling bowl of jelly. Well actually she is the color of peanut butter but I didn't want to call her Peanut or Butter, it just didn't sound original. So naturally my next thought was, "PB & J-drop the PB and there's sweet little jelly." It sort of stuck. Jelly is an apricot colored Toy Poodle. She is a year old and a whopping eight pounds. OK back to the dreaded shearing. Yup...there was hair flying here-hair flying there. We call it doggie spa! There are some pictures for you to see- enjoy!

Love is... a poodle

So...once upon a time....there was a woman who needed lots of cuddles... her children had grown and gone. What was she to do? Her husband, desperate to help and not wanting more children, did the only thing possible... brought home a little bundle of love. A Toy Poodle!!
