Toodles the Toy Poodle

WE GOT A PUPPY! Anyone who knows JD will not believe this miraculous event! My husband is what I would call a non-dog person. It's not that he hates dogs (though he has claimed that from time to time), it's the fact that they poop. Ok - so he has a running list in his mind of all the reasons why we would never get a dog. If something happened that was negative about a dog, JD would say "ok that's number 136 in my reasons to not have a dog." But me - I love dogs! Ok - I love dogs that don't bark all day and all night without ceasing. Yes we did have some neighbor dogs that would do that from time to time. There were enough complaints from neighbors that the people got rid of their dogs. I love dogs that are taken care of and get the attention they need so that they don't feel the need to bark excessively when you play with your kids in your own backyard! Ok - that's getting a little bit off topic. But it really is a miracle that JD let us get a dog. We are all thrilled as can be! We are loving our toy poodle - TOODLES! She is a great dog. And the most amazing part is that JD is LOVING her too! Never thought I'd see the day! I love JD for giving our family the chance to be dog owners - it was very unselfish of him, he had to go out of his comfort zone!
