She's a standard poodle, supposedly. But she's small for her breed, the runt of the litter and nowhere near as "fun" and "loving" as poodles are supposed to be. I call her a sub-standard poodle. My friend Lisa Johnson of KUMD wanted a label here for Chloe...here's her first AND ONLY post, just for you Lisa.
Here's Little Miss Prissy-Pants and I at Artists Point in Grand Marais:
Sure, she's adorable, until she eats your coin purse or your watchband. If she likes you, and finds anything that smells like you, she destroys it.
Yeah, we had some fun this spring checking hiking trails, when she gets to run off leash because no one else is out mid-week in May. And after a long hot hike at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, it was sort of cute the way she drank up half of Little Two Harbors Bay.
Now, if we ever wanted to leave home as a family, we have to ask "What about the dog??" And darn it all if she doesn't enjoy the outing, the hike, the party. And it's pretty cute the way she sleeps so solidly after a five mile hike, wittle doggie dweams and all.
Aren't you a good girl now, aren't you??!!

Chloe is DARLING. And Maudie is JUST as overgrown -- until tomorrow. We must talk about swapping dogsitting sometime, buckaroo!! Maudie would love BIG company and I'm sure you guys would love the chance to take care of FOUR! (all three little girls don't even add up to one Maudie, though!)
