How wonderful that you’ve been involved in dog rescue work. We don’t have pets now as we are in an apartment, but before this we alwyas had rescue animals…felt like the right thing to do.

That’s wonderful to read. Lucky dogs! You might enjoy reading this story about George Washington’s poodle. I heard this from a neighbor, and it took some time to track down the story: https://dev.americacomesalive.com/mystery-solved-washington-did-have-a-poodle/

(Need I say more? Lol) They are a great breed and I love sharing their history with others interested in the breed and with patients we would visit at nursing homes and hospices.
**I also give them a bath every week between visits to the groomer. During the winter months it takes a while to make sure they are thoroughly dry.
