Hello fellow poodle lovers!
I was on this forum quite a bit 5-6 years ago, and then life intruded and I lost touch. But I still ADORE poodles, and after lurking for a week or so decided to get back on.
I have had poodles for over 35 years, and at one point had 3 (2 toys and a standard—I was a lot younger then). We now are down to one, an almost 5 year old coal-black 8 pound female toy named JoJo. She is a lively, delightfully nutty poodly girl, and we love her very much. My son and his wife have 2 spoos, a parti girl and a red boy. We all love poos😍
It has been a rough couple of months for me. I recently had very painful wrist surgery, and with that and COVID lockdown I have had a lot of down time. I also lost my elderly dad after a brief illness the day after Christmas. Needing something positive and uplifting, I returned to this forum, and it has really helped. I have so enjoyed reconnecting with the poodle community. I especially love seeing all the photos of everyone’s poodle babies. It has really lifted my spirits. For that, thank you all.
I am a retired writer and live in Portland, Oregon with my hubby, and have 2 young grandkids. Jo and the oldest are almost the same age, so they have grown up together. In non-COVID times we do day care for both grands, and Jo follows them around constantly. She is a real sweetie pie, and has been a great comfort to me lately. Amazing how much better our dogs make us feel. Not sure what I would do without her sleeping next to me. Or ON me. She is a godsend 💕.
I will post a photo of Jo as soon as I remember how.
