Some folks behind me were talking about what kind of dog Obama should get and how to balance allergies with cute puppiness and whether a goldendoodle is the answer and the guy behind me goes “When I first met my husband, he had the most neurotic poodle…”
And I realized, living where I do, I have never heard a guy say that.
And it made me happy to hear him say it so matter of fact.

That’s giving me a big attack of the smiles reading that.
Um, are there any poodles that aren’t neurotic?
How delightful! Although, I caught it was a man speaking. And I caught the word “husband.” But I still had to read it a second time to catch that it wasn’t just the phrase “neurotic poodle” that made you smile. I thought “No neurotic poodles? Weird!” Slow today, I guess. :)
And I have to confess, when I first heard “goldendoodle,” I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. And then I realized it was a better name than “poo-retriever,” and then I considered that I might be a rather wrong sort of person…

And THAT makes me smile.
see, if it wasn’t for one of the kids being allergic, I’d be hoping they adopt a pitbull just because of the symbolism -(especially if they named her lipstick)
