Vi's Corner:"Dillingham"
Posted by Vi Logan on Nov 14, 2009 - 12:07:07 PM
BEVERLY HILLS—My formal name is "Dillingham," but you can feel free to call me Dilly because I'm really a down to earth kind of guy! I'm a Standard Poodle mix, and you know how smart poodles are, don't you? In case you don't, they're known to be one of most intelligent breeds of dogs! I hate to keep bragging, but I can't think of one single negative thing that anyone has said about me.
I'm not aggressive in any way, don't guard my food, toys or bed, have no separation anxiety, and I'm housetrained. I love everyone, including other dogs, cats and children. So I would love to be part of a family again.
In my three years of life I've never been mistreated, and I wasn't abandoned. I have known only love. So, why am I here waiting for another family to adopt me? I'll tell you.
It was very hard for my family to give me up, but because of financial reasons, they weren't able to move into the house with a yard as they had planned. So, having three children and me in a small apartment, just didn't seem fair, as I'm a big boy and needed more room and more exercise than they were able to give me. Being wonderful, unselfish people, they didn't want to deprive me of a better life, and tearfully gave me up. So, here I am waiting for that better life to begin.
I hope that you will call to see me soon!
Some Poodle quotes for you to enjoy:
"Love is the emotion that a woman feels always for a poodle dog and sometimes for a man." - George Jean Nathan;
"There's nothing so similar to one poodle dog as another poodle dog, and that goes for women, too." - Pablo Picasso;
"People forget that Omar Bradley went all around World War II with a big black poodle named Beau. And everybody associates Winston Churchill with the bulldog because he looked like a bulldog. But the truth is Winston Churchill never owned a bulldog. He owned miniature poodles and they were all called Rufus." - Stanley Coren
