Do you have some stories to share about your poodle's startling intelligence or intuition?
At 23 weeks, Peggy's surprising us more and more every day.
Today it was in the master bedroom, a rare place for me to let her explore. She went straight to my beloved old girl Gracie's little bed, which still sits in the corner since she passed in July.
In the bed was Gracie's favourite red ball. "Uh oh! Here comes a struggle," I thought. "She's never giving that up."
Peggy, as expected, immediately picked up the ball and continued exploring the room with it in her mouth. She poked her head in the closet, sniffed under my bed, nudged a dust bunny or two, and then I moved towards the door and said, "Okay, Peggy! Time to go!"
Well. She trotted over to the corner and put Gracie's ball BACK in Gracie's bed!!!! And then casually joined me at the door as though she'd done nothing special at all.
I'm still looking at her with wonder in my eyes.
