Go ahead…make my day

IMG_1011  Saw this on Pinterest and nearly spit coffee all over the laptop. While I’ve known some fairly fierce Standard Poodles. Sam…ahem…isn’t in that category unless you’re the serial killer mail lady or the Chessie from down the street that for some inexplicable reason he despises though he’s never had ANY encounters with him. He’d more than likely knock you over by leaning hard against your leg or kissing you to death.

Today is the last day of September, where the heck did the month go? Yikes! Happy mid-week. October is coming and it’s my favorite color. 🙂

Live, love, bark! <3

          Yes, that rotten Specter organization is everywhere and responsible for untold chaos so why not time theft?! 😉

  1. Well I’ve known a few standard poodles who did quite a bit of damage with their enthusiastic desire to play. 🙂

      They are such athletic dogs and often don’t realize not everyone is keen on their enthusiasm. 😉

  2. My Golden Life – Upstate South Carolina – I love animals, especially dogs. I enjoy US history, and reading biographies of our former presidents and other historical figures. I love the music of the '60s and '70s since I was growing up in those decades. I love the Beatles and Andy Williams equally.

    Callie was – and Shadow still is – a love muffin. They will love you to death. But Callie was a protector, too. She had a few be-be pellets under the skin of her chest from when she got between Shadow and the asshole neighbor. That sob is probably the only human my big girls never liked. Callie almost never barked at a human, except him. And Shadow would stop barking once she recognized a friendly one. I have never scolded them for barking at him…I’d bark at him too if I were in their paws. Ducky barks and snarks at almost every human except us, my friend Sabine, the pet sitters, and the folks at daycare. Crazy dog.

      I have always trusted my dogs-they know what’s in people’s hearts and let me know if they are good or not. 😉

    He once had a sign, “These premeses protected by an attack turtle”. That little snapper could bite hard.

      Would love to see one of those-the snapper not the sign (so much)! 😉

  5. Well there is a reason my 20 pound Westie boy is named Zeus. Normally a lover boy he can go from love bug to fierce in Mach 9 especially if he thinks anyone is messing with his Mom (me). My Zoe is 16 1/2 lbs of fierceness as well. What is the breed standard, oh yeah – possessed of no small amount of self esteem. Big dog in a little dogs body!

      They are such cuties, glad they kind of like me. 😉

  6. Sam strikes fear in the heart….of anyone who hates kisses? Might not be a criminal deterrent…

    OMP! I love that sign. LOVE IT! XOXO – Bacon

  8. Well, I need that sign. Cole who loves my neighbor almost bit her over the fence one day. He is sweet if I’m there, but in charge if I’m not with him. Woe to any worker that dares come in the yard uninvited. The poodle is a fierce protector. My lab was more like Sam. They come with a temperament. LeeAnna
