smart classified ad
"FREE female chocolate poodle" was the ad, I gave the number a call because
the curiosity got to the best of me. I don't really want a third dog yet. Anyway, the person who answered the phone said that the dog was not available but she has several other poodles. She's older in age and in and out of the hospital with some illness. She placed the ad to get names of people who would be able to give her dogs a good home if she is hospitalized, sick, or no longer with us. A friend is in charge of the list and is to see to it that the dogs are not put to sleep or thrown in shelters. She wants them to have good homes and to know that they will be taken care of. For someone who obviously doesn't have family around to do that for her or care for the dogs, I think that is very smart of the woman to do. |

We got Sammie because of a similar situation. -- Paula "There are nice boys, but I don't know any." Kiara, a six year old girl |

That is to say, at some point little poodles were more popular than they are now, and it may be that the people who were in their prime then are old and frail now. In 30 or 40 years someone might be asking "What is it with old frail people and Labrador Retrievers?" -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
