I have a sincere love for animals. I love to learn and talk about them. Since I have come to the end of being able to feature my wonderful pets, I am moving on to featuring your precious pets. So grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe a tissue, sit back, get to know and enjoy these wonderful blessings we call pets but are truly a part of our families.
Darla is an adorable, 8 month old Standard Poodle. Her mom, Lauren, was in search for the perfect therapy dog, when she came upon Darla.
Other than her sock fetish, Darla is a sloppy drinker, slobbering everywhere. Lauren says she has to mop up after her. She also has lots of energy requiring lots of mental stimulation and proper exercise. Poodles are very intelligent breed that likes to have something to do.

Darla is so sweet, great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I think more people would pick the right pets if they understood the characteristics of the breed better.
ReplyDeleteAgree wholeheartedly with your comment that pets are not just "for Christmas"!
ReplyDeleteWe've had many in our 42 years of marriage, but the last one had perhaps the most character.
He came to us aged 7, after living with a University professor's family before. Children had all grown up and left, wife had died a nasty death from cancer, and professor wanted to visit his globally spread family - understandably. Winston needed another pad and via a convoluted route, he arrived with us. Latterly, he had developed a habit of taking himself for walks (he was a border collie/English setter cross), so to prevent this, he had been kept on a long rope in a courtyard during the day, surrounded by an 8 ft. wall. Didn't keep him in, though; he simply chewed through the rope and jumped the wall! He was chipped, so he was always found by the local police - he was known to just about every police station in the town! It was a miracle he survived, because his traffic sense was nix! When he lived with us, we never let him off the lead when walking him - he loved being with us, but everyone else was much more interesting! Before he had to be put to sleep, when his back legs failed - if the Good Lord had intended Woofers to scale 8 ft. walls regularly, he'd have made legs to fit! - he had become a natural PAT (Pets As Therapy) Dog. We lived near an old folk's home, and he was a regular visitor to the home's lounges. He would go to each person in their chair, and be patted. If the person was asleep - he'd just look, and move on. No one ever taught him to do that! We've been parted 8 years now - but I still miss the old chap. He was nearly 14-1/2 when he left us.
Thanks for letting me remember my old friend!
I always love hearing about other peoples pets and experiences with them. Thanks for sharing Isobel.
