How Much is That DOGGIE in the Window? (Arf! Arf!)

~~The Gayla Pink Apple~~

Oh, I do hope that doggie's for ME! (Arf! Arf!)

YES, she's for me - she came home with me today!

Meet Camille!   She is a big poodle - a  standard.   I'm sure it's just a matter of time and this young lady will be the center of attention in my house.

I knew the next dog in my life would be a big dog,    I was pretty sure it would be a standard poodle --- just wasn't sure if it would ever happen.  I had very mixed emotions about getting another dog.  I have been wanting a standard (large) poodle for a few years now.  At the time, I didn't get one because we had our little Shih Tzu, Casey.  I didn't want her to feel replaced, etc.  She was our little princess and I thought a big poodle might be a bit much for her to adjust.  As most of you know, Casey died a year ago, February 2013.

I think at this stage in my life, a standard poodle indeed 'fits' me perfectly.  I think Camille and I are a perfect match.  She needs a home and I need a pal.   She is very mellow,  loving, and sweet - I'm already loving my time with her.   Just look at that intelligent face.   Camille is a rescue - a cream and apricot parti-colored standard poodle.

I got the call from a rescue organization for poodles on the one-year anniversary of Casey's death. Camille is white and cream (so was Casey) - is a girl (so was Casey) - and her name starts with the letter "C"!    Is that ironic?    I originally wanted a male, black or chocolate brown; and doubt his name would start with the letter "C"!   But, here is this girl, white and cream, and need I say more?    It's obvious - She's my gal!   She's the standard poodle for me!

She will become my running buddy. That's the plan, anyway!  I wanted a large poodle because they're extremely smart, and do not shed.  And, I wanted a dog that could run with me.   I'm really looking forward to this new relationship.

Look for her blog --- "Camille's Poodle Doodle Chatterbox " is coming soon.  Yes, she will have her own blog.   How fun is that?   :-)  What?  Did you just say that I need to get a life?  That's funny and you're kind of right; but hey, my life now includes Camille.
