Poodle Pandemonium

Hi All,
Greetings from Poodle Pandemonium.

When we last left our valiant, though sleep-deprived heroine (who happens to be me), she was on her way to buy 2 identical toys for her curly-haired bickering boys (and a book on raising a puppy for the non-canine male of the family). As predicted, the identical toys were highly unsuccessful as a means of "curing" sibling rivalry. Unfortunately the concept of identical toys is beyond the brain of the above-average and quite handsome poodle. Byron wants both toys, and doesn't care if he is currently mouthing a toy identical to the one Baron is playing with. He shows his displeasure by attacking not the toy, but the puppy playing with it. This makes for a less relaxing day for our beloved heroine (who happens to be me, in case you forgot).

Byron is getting a bit cranky and is insuring that Baron knows his place. I have come to rely on my big tattletale as an assistant in puppy training. In fact, Byron is far superior to the above mentioned non-canine male. Byron hasn't even read the book on puppy training written by the Monks of New Skete - although neither has Vance; I have generously shared information, particularly as it relates to telling a puppy it is time to go out rather than asking his opinion on the matter. Yesterday Byron was continually barking; when I went to check on this, I found Baron chewing shoes - and they weren't his!

Well friends, that is the latest from the home front, with one exception. Sadly, Byron's health is continuing it's downward flight. Amazingly, he is not going "softly into that good night". He is continuing his valiant efforts to torment Baron, and to remain my beloved best canine friend for as long as possible.

All for now.
