So THAT’S the issue? Guess it’s obvious now the problem is I am owned by I own a Standard Poodle, when what I really need is an automatic.
Here’s hoping your week starts off with a chuckle.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Adventures of a pet therapy dog and his Ninja sister

BOL!😂😂😂
HILARIOUS!!! I love standard though.
I’m a standard person too. Except on southbound I-25…in rush hour. 😊
That’s fantastic, Monika. Love it!
Best wishes,
Ro
Oh my gosh! I laughed way too hard at that one!
😃 It cracked me up too.
Nothing about Elsa is standard 😉
Back when I pet sat for a company – I remember I went to a house to sit for a poodle. I was thinking toy poodle – and when I saw Sassy was a standard … I thought, “That isn’t a dog!” Not exactly what I expected – but she turned out to be such a sweetheart when you convinced her to trust you. I miss her.
On walks, she actually is pretty ‘standard.’ It’s the Knucklehead who is the walking misbehaver. Elsa is just a stealthy Ninja. LOL
Oh, you can substitute an Airedale in there, same thingie! BOL Good thing Ma knows how to drive a stick…
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Heh, heh. Yeah, it’s the only thing I drive too, Ruby. Four on the floor, wheels and paws. Well actually five on wheels, but who’s got time to quibble when you’re constantly shifting? 🤣
haha that’s a good one. Have a great week.
We hope your week is pawsome, too!
He he! So glad I learned to drive “stick” as a teenager. It’s the best way to get Honey to go where I want her to go.
You certainly can finesse better with a stick. The lurching forward can be interesting. LOL
Oh yeah, well I have a compact.
🤣
I’m rather fond of those sweet little ‘compacts.’
LOL…now that is funny!! Let me now if you find an “automatic”
Good luck to us on that front! 🤣
I think I need a few automatics at our house MOL
Timmy and Family
Bwahaha! My standards are probably more like sub-standards! 😆
Heeheehee. Someone is always thinking, aren’t they?
Oh yes, definitely problem solvers. 😆
Well, over winter, I have boots, heavy jacket, reflector vest, gloves, beanie, plastic shopping bag, pocket full of poop bags, two leashes and two dogs. However to be fair, I have automatic dogs – Benji & Yogi so it’s not a problem, except taking off said gloves to separate poop bags. Oh and BTW I have never driven a standard car – I wouldn’t know how to :o(
Separating the poop bags is my worst nightmare. As for “automatics,” I’m just the opposite, I’ve never owned an automatic! They’ve always been ‘standard.’ 🤣
That is funny!!! But we bet you are pretty satisfied with the standard model:)
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
You’re right, wouldn’t trade them for the world.
Poodles always bring a smile and a giggle.
They would be great police dogs, but see above,
You’re right…goofy doesn’t go very well with police work. 😆
Automatic thugs? Things are bad enough as they are…
Just thinking about automatic thugs makes me giggle though.😂
Bwahaha. It is a frightening thought at its core come to think of it.
BOL! And we are part poodle!
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
So in snow you’re semi-automatic? Arf!🤣
So funny, but I think standard is better, more surprises.
Do you know that here in Finland we mostly use standard gears, I have never drived an automatic. Standard is better in snow.
I think so too, better traction, better mileage. But here everything must be done for peeps. *Sigh* My car is a standard and with traffic, sometimes I feel like I have Popeye syndrome-one leg is more muscular than the other from shifting. LOL
That Popeye syndrome is funny, he is Kippari Kalle here.
🤣 I love it. Kalle! Just got through reading the latest Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book. Kalle Blomkvist!
Kalle is here a popular name.
I knew that though I don’t associate it with Popeye. 😇
🐬🐬🐬
It says no growling but doesn’t say
“no SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWKing”.
That’s right…so squawk away, Kismet. But sadly the header photo has disappeared. Ugh.
Bwahahahahahahaha. Thanks for the Monday morning chuckle.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥
And to you as well! 😊
That is too funny! Way to start a Monday, Monika!
Have a fabulous day!
And to you as well! We’re almost ready to go out in 4-paw drive on our morning constitution (somewhat delayed due to the 21F degrees-awk!). 🥶
Ugh… I’m trying to convince myself that 16F is not that cold…
Hate to break it to ya, but with high humidity, it is. Sorry. Luckily hot chocolate helps. Stay safe and warm.
Nah…
OK. Yeah. But seriously… before I became a wimp (about 2 years ago), Zeke and I would go out in -30F for decent walks. Now? Not so inclined…
Umm, no thanks. My coat and boots may handle a short walk, but the gloves…wild snickering would ensue. I have yet to find a pair that I can wear where my fingers aren’t pre-frostbitten as it is. Let alone try to hold two leashes, a couple of poop bags, be able to retrieve a diversionary treat when needed, etc. We look like a low-rent circus as it is.
Oh no gloves for me. Must be mega thick humongous mittens for me – I have Raynaud’s Syndrome so… can’t chance anything puny like gloves.
And I am mean. I carry no treats. Though I do have the poop bags and put on the small glove in my pocket to duly scoop…
While mitties are warmer, I have less dexterity than with gloves and I already look like a moron trying to separate the bag. The dogs seem to know to take full advantage of it, too. 😆
That’s where the extra gloves in my pockets come in… as for the beasties – they really are just like kids!!
As in 4-legged teenagers! And we all know about teens. 🙃
Ha ha ha!! 🙂
LOL…that’s a great one!
And totally explains a whole lot! 🤣
I still chuckle at “sub-standard” poodle.
He’s such a chucklehead, his tail wags furiously whenever I call him sub-standard. A total dimwit, but sweet as pie.
<3
lol. Stuck in first gear, and goes in reverse on it’s own
That’s about it. They seem to have 4 paw traction on ice. Unlike me.
As long as the rear end doesn’t frequently backfire unexpectedly…
Yes, thank goodness for that!
Oh. OH. You’re right. That explains it.
And I wouldn’t want it any other way. Well, ok, I wish they were automatic on sidewalks that are iced over, but that’s a whole different enchilada.
Buahaha!
Great way to jump start Monday!
We’re firm believers in starting out the week with a chuckle. And with my two chuckleheads, probably a good guaranty.
They keep things interesting and they bring the fun, so more power to ’em! 😉
Indeed they do. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💖
Says proud mama . . . 💖
Agreed…and blushing about it.☺️
You go mama!
🥰
That’s perfect. But how much less fun if they were automatics (OK, except maybe on walks).
Yes, automatics only on icy sidewalks. The cold weather makes Elsa in particular extra frisky making for some interesting outings. She makes me giggle trying to keep up with her, Sam is the real wildcard. I think he’s deliberate with planning his ice carnage. 😂
Sure would like a video of all that! If only you had 3 hands, LOL.
I’d need a film crew!
hahaha that can be… but we rather stick with the stick ;O)
‘Stick with the stick’…I LOVE it! 😍
