Hi Cassandra's Mommy welcome to Pet Talk. I think you will find a lot of poodle lovers on here (I hope Pam finds this thread). My first dog was a Poodle/Eskie mix. What size poodle is Cassandra? How old is she? It sounds like Balls has just recently entered your life, how does Cassandra feel about that? Hope to see pictures of both of your babies soon.
