Holly at her shaggiest — she has a Beauty Appointment tomorrow, and then, she’ll be a different-looking dog. I’ll attach a new picture at the bottom of my post post-haircut.

 

Happy Anniversary With Us, Holly!

On this day last year, we brought home our beloved Standard Poodle pup, Captain Holly Short (aka Holly) all the way from Colbrook, N.H. — from our Crabapple Downs Standard Poodles breeder, Arlene, and this day last year was the day on which our lives changed completely, and for the better.

Holly (also known as The Hod, Hoddles, Goofampuppum, SillymaPup, ThoThaPooThaPup, and various other difficult monikers) is the goofiest, sweetest, nicest, cutest, silliest, bestest Poodle in the world.

Happy Anniversary, Hoddles!  We love you, HollyPollyPoodlePie!

Is This What Dying Feels Like?

Is This What Dying Feels Like?

SIlence and darkness

Press down, down

Memory packed down

Like Arctic snow,

Now melting,

Ready to release

Plumes of methane

From old monsters

Buried in the deep,

And she thinks,

That letter!  I forgot

To burn that letter!
