About me:

~ Stone ~ It suddenly dawned on me that I rarely talk about my tortoise and I regularly forget to take direct pictures of her; she has always just sort of been in the background of things. I've had Stone for over 16 years and she is treated more like one of the dogs than anything else. The only differences are that she is fairly independent and incredibly intelligent. Stone goes out into the backyard nearly everyday as long as the weather is between decent and hot, where she eats all the dandilions and weeds; she hangs out by the door if she wants out and it isn't open, if I don't happen to notice, the dogs let me know. When Stone is hungry for more than backyard salad she walks in circles in the kitchen until I put down some dark greens or steamed veggies. When Stone wants to sleep (which is a lot), to recharge, or to hybernate she lives in the bathroom. It's hard to explain how or why I give Stone such freedom; basically, after 21 years of observing me and other humans, she KNOWS what to do to get what she wants. Also, she is feared and respected by all my dogs so they cohabitate extremely well! This week it has been very warm out so she is quite active. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Want to listen to some great music? Here is a wonderful video from youtube; Jason Mraz performs, "Rainbow Connection" .. Dear Friends of Poodlegirl, My best bud Duke, the origional mascot of this profile, has now gone to a WONDERFUL new home that happens to have a toy poodle that happens to look like an identical yet tinier version of Duke. I couldn't be happier for him, he will now be receiving ALL of the attention he absolutely deserves! ~~~~~ May Duke have everything his heart desires and more! My feelings about poodles will NEVER change, I think they are one of the most incredible creatures on this entire planet. Hopefully some day my dream will come true; that I will be able to create my own rescue and be around poodles all day, every day! P.S. I still have 4 dogs; Betty, Brutus, Pepper, and Puffy. Plus, all the dogs I sit for and any rescues dumped on me that the shelter would likely put down due to unadoptable behaviors; which I am somehow good at altering - with the help of my own dogs whom are the TRUE dog therapists! If I could figure out how to go to dog behavior school (wherever that is?) financially, I would do it right now!
