It’s ok, little sweetheart. You did good *pats*
The "premmie" has now been identified as a missing 9 year old chinese gymnist.
"Right over here ma'am."
This copy of the Etruscan Capitoline Wolf with Bernini's added little children stands in front of City Hall in Rome . . . Georgia.
The plaque (in Latin) reads: "To New Rome: as an augury of prosperity and glory, [is given] this signum [sign = depiction] of the Capitoline Wolf. From Eternal Rome during the consulship of Benito Mussolini, in the year 1929."
They hid it away during WWII.
Dogs go to heaven.
I have a standard poodle - my significant other. :-)
I have a Golden Retriever and a little junkyard dog. She was a survivor of Katrina, she showed up emaciated and terrified in the yard of my co-worker. She appears to have some beagle and terrier in her and she hadn’t lost her baby teeth when we got her. She’s a strange little dog, kind of like a cat in the way that she only wants attention when she wants it but I’m crazy about her. My Golden is just precious. Perfect manners and always eager to please, as is common of her breed.
I love Goldens too, they are sweet, adorable dogs.
And believe it or not, there are 3 Standard Poodles in our hunting retriever club!
Absolutely right. I now have two dogs, one a Chocolate Lab/Weimaraner mix and the other a Black Lab/Pit mix. The both fit your description. They were preceded by a Black Lab/Irish Setter mix and a pure bred Black Lab, both of whom also fit the mix.
Great and Beautiful dogs (after they are no longer babies, right?) I had a few when I was a kid.
I have a personal theory about that, and that is that mankind is the mirror in which the reflection takes place. You see, we receive unconditional love from both (God and dog). One serves as our master, and we serve as master to the other. God is pleased when we are obedient to him, and we are pleased when our dogs obey us. When dogs don't behave as we want them to, we are disappointed and heartbroken, but love them nonetheless, just as God never fails to love us, even when we turn against him.
I was at a horse show with my dog and a guy came up to me and said the best retreiver he ever had was a standard poodle. He said his dog watched the other dogs for a short time and then took off and started retreiving. Someone else told me that poodles were used to hunt lions because they were the only dogs smart enough to find them but not get eaten by them.
Now, my dog was a show dog (champion) so she doesn’t see herself like this - her job is to be admired. LOL
She is away at Boot Camp right now to have an attitude adjustment.
I know that they are a little crazy till about 2 but after that they are such good dogs.
I will say that the standard poodles in our club are obedient enough, but they don't really have the enthusiasm for it that the Labs, Chessies, and even the Goldens do. And they don't like to get wet! (a real problem for a duck dog.)
I know there is at least one standard poodle with its HR title, so that one must have shown keenness for the judges to pass him.
No, thank GOD!!
My Choc will be 8 in March and she is a model dog. I can take her anywhere and she behaves like a perfect lady. When Home Depot still allowed dogs she carried my purchases, and all the guys at the Ford dealership love to see her when we bring the car in - she goes around from desk to desk and formally greets each of them (then flops over and begs for a belly rub).
No doubt about that, and with a life span of 8-15 years or so, it would seem they earn a place there much sooner than the typical human ;-)
Yes, there are.
Two babies who went on to found an empire (or so the legend goes).
You betcha!!

Maybe we should encourage dogs to immigrate here...y’know, to do the jobs American mothers won’t do?<<<
Excellent reasoning and good idea.
