No no no no no....!

Why is it that I have to take baths all the time? It's not so much the water I mind, it's more the shampoo-conditioner-brushing-combing-blow drying business, and the fact that the battle of it leaves me, and mum for that matter, exhausted.

I say Do poodles in wild really have to do this? Mum says there are no poodles in the wild. I say Beware of the Wolf and show my teeth. Mum says she'll reconsider the bath frequency.

Puppy training went brilliantly. We went for a hike in the forest and practised Come and Heel with difficult disturbances and no leash, like grown ups. Me and the lab get most of it right. The two schnauzers are out of control, and one of them ran off, but came back. The lab is so smart, she will train to become a cadaver dog, apparently. She took advantage of a break and found truffles under a pine tree. Wow!
