Sheer Poodle pleasure

We just love summer. Especially when the humans let us run off leash on a deserted beach! The photos were taken yesterday by one of the walking humans.

Sjoe - did we have fun! Mia even took a jump straight into an oncoming wave which is unusual for her. It's normally me who jumps into the deeper water.

A thorough soaking later, we dried off as we walked home - our fur clumping together and going somewhat frizzy (all the better to keep sand locked in so that it drops out for days to come).

It was a dark and stormy weekend

I didn't manage to take any pictures of me out in the big storm this weekend but this photo was taken yesterday at Melkbosstrand beach when I went for my morning weepoo. Look at all the yellow/green sea foam. When that stuff blows on us our legs turn a funny greeny colour. Apparently that foam is made up of little sea plants but I think it looks like parlour shampoo.

Muscling in on Charlie's couch.

It's been a while since I last put paw to keyboard. When the humans get busy they leave the computer alone and the screen lock password is unknown to us Poodles. I must get Mia to try and figure out what it is. She's good with cryptic stuff.

Charlie the Daschund and his human dad came back from their trip away last week. While Charlie was away I sort-of took over his day couch. Not sure how happy he would be to share it with me, today I decided to climb on WHILE he was on it! Well, he growled and barked but luckily this attracted Mia and then Charlie forgot about me and growled at Mia. He is a grumpy old thing.

My human took this photo after all the commotion. Charlie is looking very put out. All I have to say on the subject is, 'Should I book my hair appointment this week, or next week?'

Two Lamb Cuts, please.

Yesterday was parlour day. We were dropped off at Wags and Whiskers again. Mia was very keen to have her hair done but I wasn't. I tried to get the human to take me away but the lady from the parlour dragged me to the back. Anyway, we look quite cute and the humans reckon it was worth the pain and suffering.

Poodle wrestle

Mia and I wrestling and messing around in her human's bedroom. My little sister is crazy! She loves running and jumping on me!

Someone came to visit.

Look what my human mom found in the upstairs room! It's a little flying thing. Similar to the ones that eat the seed in the bird feeder but this one has a long beak. I wonder what it is? Are they edible?

Sprinting through the water

When we are eventually let off leash (providing any small humans and other canines are not close by) boy, do we just go for it! I think we run faster than Wuh wa huff's (Greyhounds). Despite the best efforts of the humans, we headed for the surf and got soaking wet. Ha! Poodles are made for water.

Mia and I barked a lot at other dogs when they walked by. Somehow I get the feeling we'll be going to doggy training next weekend...

Poodles on grass!

What a treat! We got bundled into the car and taken to Milnerton to run on the grass. Made a nice change and Mia and I were able to zoot around at full speed. Then a man came with a doglet on a leash and then another man came with what looked like a black horse. I wanted to make friends with it and it got a fright when I barked with excitement. Apparently it's something called a Great Dane which we know as Wuff Huff. Mia just wanted to beat it up - but that's my little sister!

Poodalarm

We have taken it upon ourselves to wake the human at 5:30. We do this as illustrated here, standing around and looking fluffy and cute!

Poodle in the wind

You know that famous song by Sir Elton Poodle, Poodle in the Wind? Well, that was us this morning. Here is Babette singing it while we stopped for photos. Check how we look with our hair and ears blowing backwards.

But what a treat to get a full-on walk for the morning weepoo walk. And it's normally only Babette that gets a weepoo walk. I have to make do with the yard. Human mom take note: when you come back from wherever you are (I just know you're not coming home in the evenings), weepoo walks are FUN!

We will sleep a bit now because we are tired.
