Baron's Back!!!

Hi All,
I am sorry about the laps in blog entries but life has been hectic, here at Poodle Place. Baron and his new BFF are busy creating havoc.  The dog next door, Stella (aka his new BFF), is quite the Houdini.  She either digs under the fence between our yards, or chooses to jump on the trampoline conveniently located next to the fence, and catapults over it.  She is small, sweet, and able to put Baron in his place (unlike a certain dog handler - that would be me).  She is, well, a mutt, but that doesn't bother Baron.  He is in love. 
Admittedly it was a shock to open the door to let Baron in and find not 1 but 2 dogs sitting on the stoop, wagging their tails.  While this may sound adorable, the damage done to our flower garden and our carpet (muddy paws are not cute) demonstrates the downside of dog ownership.  Don't tell Baron (his head is big enough), but the pros outweigh the cons re: ownership of a certain oversized (did I mention that he weighs 75 pounds?) poodle.
All for now,
Botswain
