Carley's Mom

My husband was not at all excited about getting a poodle and he is madly in love now...

Before I get my hello "peck kiss" when my husband comes home from work, he runs over to the couch where Gigi is jumping out of her skin and wagging her whole body violently out of sheer happiness to see her daddy. My husband loves how excited she gets and how she starts crying if he doesn't immediately run to the couch (where I've trained her to wait for people when they come in the front door) and shower her with affection. I've tried to do the wagging thing, too, but it does not get me the same results. lol

This is a man who had resisted getting a dog, much less a poodle, for years. Now, he absolutely adores her and constantly shows his customers pictures of her on his cell phone.

Sandooch, your post made me laugh! I'm still the first one who gets kissed...But this may change, the way things are going! It's so adorable how excited they get to see people they love. Delphi also gets all wriggly and tail-waggly!

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. It's best to cut yr guys some slack over Poodles. We do take some flack from our buddies over our choice of dogs.

It helps to be an independent, crusty bugger like me who doesn't really give a damn what u think of me . . . or my dog. But I still get teased.

I've got a buddy tho who wants a dog again. Ex-biker, beard down to his chest, looks like Charlie Daniels. He's always had the biggest, meanest guard dogs.

But he loves all dogs . . and Tonka. The other day he was sittin' in my kitchen, leaning over and hugging Tonka big time. His words, in Tonka's ear, were: "You're a good dog . . . even if u are a Poodle."

Can't remember where I saw it, it may have been here, but in reference to men owning poodles, somebody told a story of a big, brawny guy who was mocked for owning a poodle. His response was a self-assured "when you have a [extremely large] [intimate appendage], you can own any kind of dog you want."

Countryboy, I completely agree. I, as a woman, encounter smart remarks about having a poodle, and I realise that with men it's usually a hundred times worse.

I know the title I chose for the thread was a little tongue-in-cheek, but really I'm not trying to make fun of the fact that he loves her. I'm really proud of him and of Delphi, and really happy that they have fallen in mutual love with one another

I think a man who is secure in his masculinity doesn't let things like his choice of dog affect it. And that makes me proud to be the girlfriend of one such man

Hayley22,

Thanks! I'll let him know how everyone here supports guys with poodles, but
he loves all dogs and has never cared what anyone else thought, anyway.

Countryboy,

Love Charlie Daniels and crusty buggers. Post a picture of your friend and
Tonka, please, if he doesn't mind.
