Thank you all for such kind words. If you didn't own/know a poodle as well as we all do, I don't think you could appreciate it. Remington is a joker... He loves to play. However, I have to warn you all, when you first get your spoo don't laugh when he burps, because then he thinks he can do it all the time... HA! I love my boy beyond reason. It doesn't matter that his tail is docked too short, or that he has a liver color nose, not black... I love the clown that he is... I have been so blessed to have him, and also I believe I have been blessed to have found such a wonderful group to share my joy of Remington with.. I cannot tell you how much I love reading all of your post
