If a strange Puddle licks you, you should just give it a nice, friendly pat on the head...:)
“The poodle is believed to have originated in Germany, where it was known as the Pudelhund. Pudel (cognate with the English word “puddle”), is derived from the Low German verb meaning “to splash about”, and the word Hund in German means “dog” (cognate with “hound”).”
[yes, this *is* how my mind works]

Similar to how mine meanders.
Last puddle I ran across was a mix, pompud.
(Pompoo)
He, uh, was able to not visibly move yet the tongue came from wildly differing locations in his mass of fur.
He also loved being a knotted up mess.
“Dog, you are a fright of dreadlocks. Dogs. Don’t. Wear. Dreadlocks!”
He’d lick his nose and wag.
Then scream bloody murder if you tried to trim his furr.
hilarious.
