I have a small dog named Marco Poodle, and called Poodle. When I got him, he was a rescue and didn’t know that dogs had names and didn’t respond to “Huey”, the name the woman said was his.
While I decided what to name him, I just called him Poodle.
Since he is a very smart dog, he soon realized that the Poodle word meant Him. Once he thought that was his name, I did not want to change it and make him learn all over again, so Poodle he was.
He is a great little dog, but if he escapes out the front door, he thinks he is a world explorer and takes off down the street, and we have to chase him down to retrieve him. That is when I realized that his true name was Marco Poodle, after the great explorer of history.
He loves dog clothes, and practices meditation almost everyday, doing his Downward Dog yoga pose.
We also have some cats that moved in with us and have adopted us as their family. One just appeared on our front porch as a tiny kitten, and we call her Kitten Little.
This picture is Poodle in his bathrobe and doing his yoga meditation, with Kitten Little watching him.
