We have two little poodles (cross between toy and mini) -they are brothers- and honestly they are spoilt rotten and treated like our kids. We bought poodles as DH has allergies and they don't shed. I think we both though poodles would be a bit soft to be honest but they are so full of energy and mischief and into everything!
I walk them each morning and they leap up ready to go as soon as I am out of bed.
They have distinctly different personalities. Oscar is black and tan and very handsome (he gets lots of comments) and he is pretty obsessive (DH says he is a bit like his mummy...what me? no way!) and loves to retrieve balls and toys etc over and over and over... he is also a big cuddler, and a sook and loves to lay on his back in our arms and be cuddles like a baby.
Charlie is blonde and aften looks a bit dishevelled. He also has an underbite, with his little row of teeth always sticking out.
He is more laid back and a real rascal, always 'talking' and getting Oscar to chase him around the house. He also loves stealing socks and plays with them like a cat would (we think maybe he was a cat in a past life). Of course he is a big cuddler too, and he is the smallest of the two, but has asserted his dominance over Oscar.
They cuddle with us on the bed, and sometimes lay with their heads up on the pillow next to us like little people They have their own beds of course for sleeping, but we are just so soft with them...sometimes we look at each other and say how it feels like our hearts could break with how much we love our dogs. How must it feel to have a baby to love?
