Thought I'd create a space to share some of my favourites. Here's Peggy today, enjoying a quiet moment with my husband:

During Peggy's landshark days, we used the commonly recommended advice to stick a toy in her mouth when she'd chomp on us.

Would love to see some photos of your poodle's less, um, elegant moments. 😂
Here are a couple of mine!
The first is Peggy hardly containing herself as I hold up an especially prized toy.

Here’s a few recent...
