Hello Everyone! Newbie Here!!!

Hello! Just last month my children were given a standard poodle by their grandmother, who raises them. She hand picked out one of her favorites that was the biggest love bug and now I have what appears to be a pony in my back yard....haha.

His name is Patch and we love him dearly, but I am going to have to learn about the specific poodle grooming requirements, etc. I only have weekends for the big grooming, but the kids are trying to help a bit through the week. I don't have much time due to being a probation and parole officer with the state of tn.

Patch has been a wonderful addition to our family and quite the little comedian as well. He is still growing at 14 mos old and I can't wait until he fills out and "comes into his own". I'll post pics as soon as I can, though he looks a bit frumpy currently.
