Are Poodles Water Dogs?

Are Poodles Water Dogs?

Are poodles water dogs?

Wrigley was a poodle mix.

Her mixed part must have been a breed that hated water.

Wrigley was not a water dog.

She was always very disgruntled when it rained.

Blue, who is a purebred standard poodle, seems to love the water.

We got over an inch of rain yesterday.

Today the yard is soggy.

Blue went outside, and she came back absolutely caked in mud.

She didn’t mind at all that I had to hose her down.

I minded.

It was only 48 degrees outside.

But I had no choice – that mud was NOT coming into the house.

I’m not sure, but I think she was laughing the entire time.

Lesson learned – Blue stays on a leash when it’s muddy outside!

It’s Not a Bad Way To Spend a Rainy Day

Not Bad

What a storm we had last night!

We got an inch-and-a-half of rain.

This morning we had a few dry hours.

The Grown Son decided to take the dog for a walk during the reprieve.

He found out, much too late, that the weather app is a lying liar.

They both returned home drenched.

The Grown Son thought it was funny.

Wrigley, not so much.

I cuddled her with towels and blankets.

She continued to hold a grudge.

I gave her a peace offering of a slice of ham.

She happily accepted it, and then returned to her simmering resentment.

She is planning on spending the day snuggled on the sofa and rage sighing.

I may join her.

It’s not a bad way to spend a rainy day.
