Wonderful New Poodle Owners Page
These are quotes, poems, paragraphs and general email conversations from some of my "WONDERFUL NEW POODLE OWNERS" that have adopted some of my Tiny Toy, Toy and Miniature Poodle puppies. This just serves to show how wonderful and thoughtful that people still are in this world of sometimes very sad times. This page lifts my spirits and so I would like to share it with everyone and try to lift the spirits of all who take the time to read about good things in this world.

Subject: "Just a Dog"
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog. "Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog. "Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been spent with "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day. If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise" or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and the folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a person."

Hello,
I just had to write and let you know that Tempi is doing wonderfully! She is everything I could have wanted in a puppy. She has even taken a strong liking to the dog toy we have (a stuffed squirrel), even though its bigger then her, and she's still too small to make it squeak. But she'll carry it around until she's tired enough for a quick nap.
Thank you for raising such a wonderful puppy!

Subject: Tempi
Hello,
I just had to send you an email to tell you how much I love this puppy. She wins over everyone she meets (with the exception of the other family dogs, who tend to think that she's commiting a major faux pas by playing with toys).
You were right about her appitite not being much when I fist got her home, but now she's eating her fill without being distracted by everythign else. She must have gained two pounds in the last two weeks!
She's been such a good little dog that my father has barely been able to use his "Dammit Tempi!" line. He did bestow it on her when she decided that his work shoes-or rather the insoles of his work shoes- would be a perfect addition to her box. He didn't realize the theft until our corgi gave Tempi away the next morning.
I know you muct hear this all the time, but you did a simply wonderful job in raising a bright cheerful attantive puppy, even though times were not idea for you.
Thank you so much,
Alison
