My friend is rescuing a standard poodle ADDED PICTURE!

[caseysmom]

Chokka is home! He was so good in the car! He sat next to me in the backseat and behaved like a total gentleman.

My Mr. Brindle Pit seems more desperate for a home One of the workers said he is her favorite too.

Without further ado...here is chokka in his new forever home, my friend is a really great person, it will be a great home and I can't believe she got a standard poodle at the pound.

Goodness he is handsome, and looks completely at home already! Congratulations, Chokka - you landed in a good place. Now bark at your Mom to join Pet Talk herself, okay?

[caseysmom]

Its funny Karen I thought I should invite her on pettalk. She sees me on it at work all the time when I am suppose to be working!

He is quite dashing isn't he and he has that poodle walk, or should I say strut

OOOh, I've been waiting for the photo! And for the news that he went to your friend, as well. Where does the word / name Chokka come from / mean?

What a lovely chocolate color, I could eat him UP!

Its a funny story, I went overseas years ago and my friend said "how will you communicate" and I said I don't know I will say choka boka...so I became chokka and she became bokka....its a wierd story..so our other friend named him chokka after me...and he is sort of chocolate.

GASP!! What a handsome guy!!! Bella is in love! Whatever happened with the chip? Weren't his people able to be found? I am so glad that he has a good home. Tell your friend that PT needs more poodle people so she needs to join. LOL!

Mr. Brindle Pitt has a name. I just looked on the website and now he has a name: Jelly Bean. It must be meant to be that I help this dog. My cat is named Bean for a reason I will repost his info. now with his name.

Here is the latest link:

It is definitely meant to be.

I hope Chokka is doing okay, he was sneezing Friday so we suspected he was going to come down with kennel cough. She had an appointment for him on Sunday, that is all her vet had available.

My friend just sent a email to work saying she doesn't feel well...I hope everything is going okay.

I don't know who is more fortunate - your friend or Chokka! What a happy story!

[Husky_mom]

I drool over standard poodles.... and Chokka is sooo darn cute!!.. love her chocolate color.... YAY for both!!

[boomersooner]

Chokka is stunning, and she looks very happy....I hope she gets to feeling better, soon!!!

Thanks everyone chokka has been renamed to chewbacca. He is doing great, she says he is a wonderful dog. He checked out fine at the vet, he never did come down with kennel cough like we feared, he sneezes sometimes, the vet says it may be allergies.

My son-in-law had a cat growing up who he named Chewbacca. The named got shortened to "Chewey." Wonder if Chokka/Chewbacca will be the same.

Pam, my friend wants to attempt grooming at home, can you recommend some good sheers?
