Regular readers of this blog know how much I love animals. On Saturday we welcomed a new pet to our home, a standard poodle puppy. In tomorrow's post I will introduce you to our new little guy. In honor of our new poodle, the theme of this week's Sunday Art Review is Poodles in Art. First a few facts from our friends at Wikipedia:
* Poodles come in many colors including black, blue, white, red, apricot, silver and brown.
* The name poodle comes from the German word Pudel, which is short for Pudelhund, which means "splashing dog". This reflects the breed's use as a water dog .
* Poodles have hair instead of fur, causing them to be non-shedding and hypoallergenic
Now here is more Poodle Art for you...

Looking forward to seeing the photos of your new arrival Rick. I've always loved poodles. When I was growing up, my grandparents always had a black poodle. He was lovely.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new family member! I had a silver toy poodle that I rescued when she was 5yrs old. She was the best fur baby one could ask for. Smart and loving. Enjoy your new baby!
