I cried when our Coquette got her first cut. She was no longer the scruffy little puppy, but some stuck-up lady.
I love the way poodles look when left “au naturale”.
My aunt and uncle had a poodle (not a standard tho) years ago. Her name was Babette. They always took her for the fancy cut, pink toe nail polish, and pink bows on both ears. She loved every minute of it too.
