Fun at a poodle price
So, we get home yesterday evening and I notice the yard needs mowed before we lose one of the dogs in it. We go through our routine of checking the mailbox, backing into the garage, disarming the alarm and letting the dogs out. Well, it seems as if Theo (aka ‘The Poodle’) had a lot of pent up energy. Then, Dana comes up with a great idea, “Since you’re going to be outside, why don’t you put the poodle on a leash and walk him behind you while you mow the yard?” I didn’t think she was serious but the poodle really did need to have some of his vibrancy worked out, so I tied a leash to one of my back belt loops, pulled it over his head and off we went. It took us both a little getting used to the whole walk-a-dog mowing scheme, but we found our rhythm. It wasn’t until I was about 2/3 done that I looked down and noticed Theo’s legs were disappearing. Since he was following me, everywhere he went was freshly cut grass. Knowing the effect it has on my shoes, I then realized what had happened to my 7-pound friend. The picture tells it all. In all honesty, it is quite humorous to watch a hyperactive stark white toy poodle with green feet run around in the yard. I guess you had to have been there…
