I groom all 3 of my poodles myself, which is a lot of work, but it can be fun. Sometimes I get a little carried away and do some "sculpting" with scissors - which reminds me of Edward Scissorhands.... but anyways, aren't Maggie's little leg poofies cute? She likes to pose for pictures after I groom her - what can I say, she is a poodle supermodel! :)

My poodle girl Maggie (left below) turned 7 earlier this year - isn't she a cutie? Her "sister" Maisie is in the background. Maggie adores roses (actually any fragrant flowers make her happy) and so for her birthday which we recently "celebrated", she was given a lovely bouquet of pink roses, and she was overjoyed! She loves sticking her head into the arrangement and smelling and licking EACH flower. :) I think Maggie truly knows the meaning of "take time to smell the roses"!

I've been sick and not able to work on anything for a while, but I thought I'd share a picture of my dedicated nurse-dogs! They take their job very seriously. ;)

I haven't yet introduced my poodles on my blog, though you have probably seen their photos on the little slide show at the right as well. Teddy (a large miniature poodle) is in the back looking at the camera. Next is Maisie (a black toy poodle) and Maggie (an apricot toy poodle) both taking a snooze. They really are the light of my life and each have such unique personalities, I will write more about each of them in the future. They are never far from me, and can be usually found on their nap couch while I work at my table a few feet away.
