Sandra, not a chance of a relationship there! ha! Spice was on Good Morning America today and I said to hubby, as she stood gazing up admiringly into the eyes of her handler just waiting to fulfill his every desire, "oh that Bella would gaze up so obediently at me ready to do my bidding!"

Once again though I do feel that poodles receive a bad rap for those horrid cuts they must wear. I feel it is too hard to really see the dog underneath all of that fluff. What I mean by see is to be able to acknowledge that they are terrific, smart, loving pets under that fluff and not just airhead prima donnas. I know it shows off the quality of the coat and there is a reason for it, but I wish all poodles could be shown in the puppy clip. Bella does too, because then she wouldn't feel like such a plain Jane!

It was an enjoyable night for me for obvious reasons but even if one of the other dogs had won I would have still been happy. They were all remarkably gorgeous and behaved impeccably. Spending a night watching scores of terrific dogs is not a bad way to spend a night when you come to think of it!
