Meg1079 Welcome! I love that line...."I was a lurker!" Yes this site is VERY addictive as you will soon see. My brother-in-law found it and told me about it. He never visited again but I got hooked! I am a poodle lover too! I have had four who have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge and am now the mommy of a cream colored standard little girl. Actually she's not so little any more. She is 7 months old and her name is Bella. There are at least two other poodle people on this board but there are lots and lots of other great dogs represented here. You will come to love them all! We are like a big family here. Please feel free to post a picture. We'd all love to see your baby!
