He turns 5 months in a couple of weeks. Sometimes I get frustrated with his rambunctious puppy energy but I know he's just a puppy with a puppy brain lol

Thank you.

yes I am actually aware it’s supposed to be circle so once you have the visual you just follow an outline. My dog moved a bit so sometimes I cut more than I was supposed to do it threw off the circle lol. So in theory it’s actually not that difficult since the head starting from the chin should form a circle but he was moving so much and by the time I was done..,lol
Oh I hear you! It’s much easier to explain than to actually do it. My Spoo has one ear a little longer than the other. I don’t think anyone would notice but that’s all I see LOL.

ya I hear ya.

I was more focused on layering the hair under the top of the muzzle so it’s much shorter the closer it gets to the lips..so he avoids eating his hair.So instead of all the muzzle hair being long it’s mostly longer from top to mid.. getting closer to skin near lips..will snap a pic.

I just realized my spoos hair grows sooo fast. Must be all the sardines and eggs doing him good. I recall shaving them early Feb and they are growing so fast!

It’s obviously curly but brushes out into soft waves on the body. Ever since I added sardines and eggs into his diet.. his coat has started looking so shiny.

His neck area and bum area is courser so I know the coat is changing. I’m wondering when he will finish.. I want to grow his legs out to try something.

So this is what I mean when I said I layered his muzzle. The Asian fusion style calls for a very very short chin and basically shaved underneath.

I also clipped the hair near the lips very short on the top part of the muzzle. This ensures he isn’t eating his hair.

When I brush the muzzle out it blends so you can’t tell it’s short underneath.. but it is which keeps things much cleaner.

We had guests over yesterday and our boy did the submissive pee. There were more guests than usual lol. He gets sooooo happy seeing people.

He has what I call “‘main character” syndrome.
When guests come over.. he wants all the attention lol. He would make a great dog to take to vistas to elderly homes and hospitals(when he’s calmer of course).
He really has a gift with people and everyone just adores him.

Except the small dogs because he likes to paw them to start play.

We are dog sitting a family’s friend small dog next month for a week when they visit their daughter in California. Should be interesting.

Hes definitely better at listening to commands when the other dog is around so that’s a positive. The older dog gets annoyed by Leo’s puppy energy.

His way of asking to be let in is barking as wel as pawing at the glass door. I’m always cleaning the glass door.. it seems.

Taught him to press a “light” button. I don’t plan on teaching him to use talking buttons or anything because that would get annoying and I already have kids haha.

Im teaching him to press so he could learn to press light switches and turn on our light lol. He’s definitely an easy learner but it’s just a matter of him being motivated to do it each time I ask.

He got his new bed... which will also be his “place”.
Hes been using the floor mostly as it was 20 degree Celsius the other day and already he’s panting.
Poodles seem to run really hot. His groomer appointment is in May and we will shave this sheep down lol.

Wow it looks really nice. I’ve been thinking I should try an elevated bed too.

Its the Bedsure one on Amazon.. don’t know how long will last but the reviews are promising.

What I like the most is that it’s very easy to clean… just spray it down with a hose.

It’s either the kids following me into the bathroom or the poodle. Wherever I am.. there he is.
