My Pal, Harley

This is my best bud, Harley. He tells me he's the crown prince of Georgia, but I think he's really a Shih-Tzu. He's kinda like a dust mop and kinda like a tiny lion. Anyway, he's my pal and we always find interesting things to do when he comes to visit. His chauffeur is named Paul and owns a tile company called Stone Horse Tile. He's been making a lot of noise around the house lately. But I don't mind because it means Harley's here, and that's a good thing.
Harley's kind of in a funk today because it's raining.

Me and my best friend, Harley, heading off to an adventure.

I hope you all have best buds that help you find the smelly things in life, too.

A snooty kiss-kiss to you all,

The Poodle's Big Adventure

Okay, I swear when he left the door open, I thought it was for me. I found out later that it wasn't. Anyway, I was polite on leaving (I said "Thank you" to the nice man and everything), and I headed out to investigate things. I figured that was what I was supposed to do: check out everything in my territory and make sure things were as they're supposed to be. I visited all the pups in the neighborhood and told them they'd better keep their noses to the ground; I visited the cows in the farmer's fields and told them they need to take a bath (the farmer has done a terrible job of picking up their poop; it's everywhere); I went through the creek just to make sure there was nothing hiding in there. I did make sure to stay a good distance away from the flappy flag (that thing just gives me the willies). I did good deeds all over the neighborhood. The world was safe because of me.

Then The Lady came home. She evidently didn't think I'd done such a good job. She turned up her nose at the wonderful scent of the mud from the creek (she has no taste where odors are concerned). She made me stand on the patio while she turned a hose on me. The water was cold and washed off all my souvenirs of the day. I was aghast at what she'd done, but she seemed pleased with herself. She rubbed me all over with a towel and made me go inside. I lay at her feet, feeling very unappreciated, while she read a book.

I have to say that I'd probably do it all over again, though, if I had the chance. Some things are just worth the consequences.

The Poodle Has Left the Building

Whee! It's spring and everything is blooming and chirping and becoming green! This is such an exciting development; I was so worried that the world would just continue to be drab and boring forever (and god knows I hate drab and boring). The Lady and I have been taking walks around the neighborhood every day this week. I've seen so many new things; a few of them scared me (like the "Happy Easter" flag that was whipping in the wind; I'm convinced that thing's evil, but The Lady says it's just a silly decoration). Mostly, I've just been fascinated by all the newness. It's almost as though the world is waking up from a long sleep. Whee! I wonder how long this spring thing is going to last. It could last forever as far as I'm concerned.

Hmm. Daffodils smell really nice. Kinda like me.

Did you see something move over there?

Ahh... Life is good.

I hope you're all enjoying spring as much as I am.

A snooty kiss-kiss to you all,
