Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Sorry but thats crazy.
Unlike our long-gone poodle who loved to roll in cow shit and got “skunked” two times. Loved him dearly.
He was 100% blind for the last few years of his life. But he was HAPPY until he also lost his hearing. Love carrots and bananas. Pretty much useless for much, but he was so lovable and always up for a drive and loved camping..even when blind. And loved to go fishing too. A real dog even if he was a poodle. ☺

My grandparents had a giant poodle, pure white, named Spray. A great, patient dog who loved nothing more than having us idiot grandkids crawl all over her and sitting beside Grandad Saturday nights waiting for a potato chip or two when hockey was on.
My Granny came down for a visit once and she and Mom took Spray to a clip joint. My Dad came home to find Spray all clipped, with a pink tinge in her fur and a pink bow on her head.
“Jesus, what did they do to you”, Dad yelled. He took Spray outside, took the bow off and turned the garden hose on the dog to try and rinse the pink off.
Spray actually appreciated the attempt. She may have been a poodle, but she was a dog, first and foremost.
Watching that poodle pimp production made me shudder.
And at the end of all that the dogs will still identify each other by sniffing each others’ butts. That’s why I like dogs — no pretensions; they keep us humble.
Is there any documented evidence of poodles dying of embarrassment?
Lol!
Different strokes for different folks.
Ya’ll have +no idea+ what Kate does every day to be basically the best Canadian Mini Schnauzer breeder in Canada and in the top 5-7 in the US. She has been all over the world on other peoples dimes because of dogs.
I thought I understood hard work. Ex Navy, Mar. Eng. Mech. etc, phaw. I like my weekends too…but no, usually those are dog grooming and bath days…and by dog grooming, I mean 2 hours a dog…just to keep them in coat, not to actually show.
That doesn’t include keeping them in-shape, show shape. Muscle tone matters to the judges…unfortunately that also means we have to go out with them.
I am, and continue to be, amazed at the effort…for dogs.
I spend a LOT less time in the bathroom each morning … and would never be mistaken for a poodle
Don’t forget to re-read John Steinbeck’s “Travells with Charlie”
And I forgot this

What a farce. I feel sorry for the dogs. Poodle grooming is the most grotesque, they look ugly. I can see them being groomed well but being groomed to look nothing close to their natural state is a sham and a shame.
If poodles are so smart why are they the most likely breed to bite humans?
Feels like I answered my own question…
And PETA is ok with this?
ugm no steve, Wife is the most likely dog to bite a man. :-)))
And here I assumed this was about preparing the BARKING mad Hillarity for her carefully staged appearances.
