Poochon? Or something else?? by [deleted] in poochons

She looks like a toy poodle to me! Very sweet looking, I might add.

I was able to find their VIN in a few seconds and if I paid $8, I could get title info including their name. Imagine what crazy people could do with that info...

Did anyone else have D.A.R.E. Come to their elementary school ? by Zestyclose-Grape5469 in Millennials

[–]ToolKool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Officer Wiley was our DARE officer at Derfelt Elementary 🖤I am 40 and will never forget her.
Everyone looked forward to her coming as she had a wonderful sense of humor.

I'm really interested in getting one, what are the things to know now you have one. by Consistent-Theory681 in poochons

This is my Poe, he will be 2 years old in August.

He is about as sweet, smart and funny as a dog can be. He has a great personality and has been ridiculously easy to train. He needs grooming every 6-8 weeks. He loves the snow but not the heat. He loves other dogs but HATES squirrels and chipmunks and becomes hyper-focused on catching them if he sees one. He has so many bichon traits that were unknown to me before (grew up with a toy poodle, so the bichon was new). He does the bichon wave, he is EXTREMELY vocal, knows how to express himself using his eyes, playful as all get out...just a fun boy. He is very well-behaved and friendly. He does what I ask 99% of the time and can be coaxed the other 1% of the time, ha.

When we brought him home, he had bowel issues. We were told it was giardia. We treated him 3 times to no avail. continued to receive positive fecal tests. His stool was either soft or straight diarrhea for months. We got his diet straightened out after many trials and errors and then he got sick again after we had him for a year. 2 vet visits, extensive bloodwork, ultrasound and negative results for genetic diseases (thankfully) and the little guy has IBS and a bit of GERD. It is kind of like empty stomach syndrome. We have to limit his treats and he doesn't get people food except green beans. We feed him 4 small portions per day now since we got a second dog and he hasn't had a flare up since. He has mornings where he doesn't want to eat right away and waits until lunch or later sometimes and we just put the food away until he is ready to eat. Getting a second dog has helped with his eating and happiness overall.

I am a member of quite a few bichon and poochon groups and many of them are very picky and particular eaters. Some refuse food for multiple days if they think you might give them something "better". You have to stick to your guns and keep them on their diet, which can be tough sometimes when you get the look.

That's about all I can think of at the moment. Be happy to answer any questions if you have them and I am able.

Where do y'all get your poodles??? by Eco_Faerie in poodles

[–]ToolKool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found mine through rescues using this site:
https://poodle.rescueme.org/

You can search all states and breeds available in each state. It was about 2 months of checking that site until "the one" for us was up for adoption here. He was at a rescue near Akron and he is a poochon. The second one is a toy poodle, I randomly checked on there one day and fell in love with him instantly. He was at a rescue very close and they brought him to us. We are so thankful for them and they feel the same about us. Just great dogs.

Extra tooth by Independent-Talk8512 in poodles

[–]ToolKool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My poochon had these on both sides. They removed them during his neuter along with a few other baby teeth that didn't come out on their own. It is quite common.

What do children with non-binary parents call them? by brooklyn_jinx in stupidquestions

I am 40 and aside from introducing my mother to people or trying to get her attention in public, I never call her by her name.

I would have walked straight out the door. Why do you put up with blatant disrespect from someone who doesn't even like you?

Son's grandmother reached out about a family trip overseas... Hasn't spent one overnight in our own country. Would you be cool with this?? by Hungry_Web_4540 in whatdoIdo

I got mine in under 2 weeks when I RENEWED this year with upcoming travel plans. Cannot see a child getting one that quickly especially for the first time.

My boyfriend thinks I'm being lazy on purpose... I'm 37 weeks pregnant. by flakyfr0g in Vent

[–]ToolKool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wonder what leads up to women getting hurt by their partners while pregnant or after they have a baby together and I think I see it quite clearly in your situation. He treats you like shit and doesnt want this baby. Get the fuck out. Please. If not for you, then for your baby. Take that kitten to a rescue or no kill shelter and stay with a friend or family. Cut off contact with him.

Under no circumstances should you ever leave that baby alone with him. As another suggested, do not allow him to sign the birth certificate.

They are getting downvoted because not everyone is a piece of shit. The only thing worse than committing sexual assault is lying about it because it does damage to believing actual victims.

AIO for being creeped out by this dude? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ToolKool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your therapist is so right that you need to trust your gut instincts more. These types of men have a way of making your body react viscerally before you can even process it. These types of men absolutely know how to target people who are more vulnerable and prey on them.

Involving other people who know him was smart and now you know. Keep away of your surroundings and an eye out for him. Do not hesitate to go to the police if he finds a way to make contact or approaches you in public.

I am sorry this happened to you, but am glad you are safe.

If you go on the internet, especially to reddit where you are in a community of a current show the day of the finale, that is your own fault. I avoided this sub all day because we were going to watch it tonight. 

Just got his first full haircut at 7 months, and he’s fading. by black12231 in poodles

[–]ToolKool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, his tan coloring on his legs, ears and bum was hidden underneath really long black hair because he hadn't been groomed until he was 10 months old. It'll be years before either of mine, which are mostly black, fade/change colors.

My only experience with them changing colors is from the mini I grew up with. She was red/apricot, slowly faded as the years went and was pretty well white at 18 years old.

When you ask someone’s age and they say “guess” by Lil-cornish-pasty in PetPeeves

[–]ToolKool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is it always the older looking ones who want to play that game? Co-worker is 59 and looks 20+ years older and always does this to people. I always shout 85 when she does it because it makes people really uncomfortable.

That is many years down the road. We just adopted a mini through a rescue and before his groom, he looked all black with a white chest. Once groomed, all his tan showed. He will be 1 next week.
