Great day! As some of you know I lost the love of my life, Bert, the Standard Poodle to bloat on April 20, 2010. I wanted another standard but wanted to wait to retire to get one. I CANNOT believe I'm old enough to retire... well, almost.
I had a surreal experience with Arizona Poodle Rescue about 3-4 months ago (story too too long to tell). I kept in touch with them about finding a Standard to adopt. APR is a great rescue organization of really fine, dedicated people ... a large network with works with out of state poodle rescues, too.
Carla called me about Lexie on Monday 5/23. I met her on Wednesday and now she's with me.
Lexie is 4 years old, Black, Female. As a puppy she was with an elderly couple. The woman passed away when Lexie was 3 yrs. The man has just gone into hospice at 78 yrs old. They surrendered to APR and .... lucky me. We're getting to know each other. I love her and I think she's settling in. Ate all of her dinner tonight! Working (successfully) on the doggy door.
She allowed me to take a couple of pics this evening. I told her you all would want to know her.
