But we DID break down and let Grizzly in during a tornado once. He was deathly afraid of storms.<br /><br />Growing up, I had a miniature black poodle. He was the smartest thing ever. Twice a year, he went to the groomer for a poodle cut and toenail trim. Man, did he think he was something when he got home! Click, click, clicking all over the kitchen floor, prancing around, showing off his "dog ears" tied with red ribbon. He was our only inside dog.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-5114429886705598932012-08-06T17:34:50.735-05:002012-08-06T17:34:50.735-05:00Back when I had money (before I bought this money ...Back when I had money (before I bought this money pit from hell) my dogs went in quarterly for a good wash and groom. My Collie was so obedient that he would stand stock still while the groomer finished his haircut with scissors. He was the best dog ever. Louise the Saint Bernard didn't really mind what you did, but when she decided it was over, she would just sort of plow you down and go on with whatever she wanted to do. I suppose this is why I have all small dogs now. I can over power them. But, I use warm water.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-12108504505430670442012-08-06T15:57:38.880-05:002012-08-06T15:57:38.880-05:00Sioux,

We found her hunkered down under one of our cars six Februaries ago. We couldn't catch her, but the next morning she showed up with her even stupider brother, Cubby. Who is now deceased. <br /><br />One look into Ann's muddy brown eyes tells you that nobody is home upstairs. HOWEVER, toss out some leftover pizza to the dogs, and she ends up with every piece. First there's a scuffle, then some snarling, then Ann trots away with them stacked neatly in her mouth. I think there's some Lab in her.<br /><br />Ann is top dog now that our Humane Society dog, Grizzly, passed on after twelve glorious years of freedom, roaming the grounds of Hillmomba.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-55769054444873681692012-08-05T17:42:46.021-05:002012-08-05T17:42:46.021-05:00So in this case, being big has its advantages.
