DAY 13 – DOG-A-DAY MEET “CUPCAKE” AND SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I love Cupcakes..and I love today’s Dog-a-Day is a TOY POODLE named….

 “CUPCAKE”

” Cupcake is very smart.  Her most favorite thing to do is to wait for the mail to come through the mail slot on our front door every day.  If not home when it arrives, she leads me to the front door as soon as I come in.  The funny thing is, she seems to know that mail doesn’t come on Sundays, as she doesn’t wait for it on Sunday mornings.  I don’t know if it’s because of the change in routine, or her biological clock has figured it out.”

   ” Another thing Cupcake loves to do during the summer months is “help” me hang laundry outside.
As soon as I pick up hangers or the laundry basket, she is ready to go.  During the day, I might go
back and forth several times bringing in the clothes as they dry, and she is always right there by my
side each time.”
1. Poodles come in 3 sizes : Toy, Miniature and Standard. These aren’t different breeds, just different
sizes of the same dog.
Tie dye poodle
fur and cold paws, many of the dogs had to be dropped off at checkpoints. This struggle led to a new
rule that dictated only northern breeds like Siberian huskies and Alaskan Malamutes are allowed to
race. This measure ensures the safety of breeds that aren’t cut out for the extreme cold.
3. Among the many many celebrities that have Poodles – Elvis Loved them!
4. Poodles are one of the smartest breeds, second only to the border collie in rankings of canine
intelligence. Their smarts make them extremely easy to train and a favorite of circuses.
5. The poodle has been bred with other popular dogs like Labrador retrievers, (Labradoodles)
cocker spaniels,  (Cockapoo) and   wheaten terriers (Whoodle) to make more hypoallergenic
breeds.
