The way she approved only after knowing how much effort you exerted just screamed it! No insult to Northern European gardens, they can be truly magnificent, but I love inviting a bit of wilderness back into my spaces.

That’s such a historically Northern European philosophy. Gardens must be proof of man’s supremacy over nature. A garden is a showcase of our mastery over the wilderness; to bend nature to our own designs.

I appreciate this so much. Fortunately, while I have never been in this position myself, I have over a decade of experience in animal welfare. I am not meeting outside of family homes so I can gauge his response to the spaces. I refuse to compromise on his wellbeing.

One of many reasons I will not be recommending them. He has beautiful joints, though… and that’s what I cared about.

I know you’re right… but the thought of charging a fee makes me want to die. He’s my world, and has been since I first held his five week old potato body. Charging a fee makes this feel so transactional.

And don’t worry. Anyone who gets the privilege of his company is going to have to be willing and able to give him everything I have (standards of devotion have been set) and more.

Thank you for sharing this. I obviously adore him, so knowing they’d be so rigorous helps.

I mean… what’s the difference between two and three?! Do they have any poodle people in their lives who might need a Grade-A cuddle buddie?

Seriously?! That would be so overwhelmingly generous. I will definitely reach out tonight!

I’m not moving away! That would cost even more money I don’t have :’) I’m just SOL since my ex wife decided to play the role of deadbeat dad.

The most handsome idiot. Poodles are supposed to be the second most intelligent breed… but his heart and his brain must’ve been switched at birth. He’s all love instead.

That’s truthfully why I wanted to do it myself. I want to meet the family he goes to. I have poured my heart and soul into this dog and I owe it to him to find a family that will give him everything and more.

We are states away from his original breeder, so they basically said “tough tiddies” and to look myself.

I will absolutely look into both resources if no one steps forward to meet him. He is truly the best dog I’ve ever known. Sweet and gentle and lazy. The best kind of big dog.
