But I found out I prefer living in smaller cities with less congestion, though. Fargo/Moorhead is big enough. The best place I ever lived was on a farm in Wisconsin where I couldn't even see a neighbor. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-54994634650057877772014-03-31T10:38:47.439-05:002014-03-31T10:38:47.439-05:00How much fun.

They are very intelligent, sedate and respectful of your space, as you said. Not at all like those yappy little ones.

But then I realized that you probably were uncomfortable out of your element.<br />I grew up a country girl, and I love spending time in rural areas, but I like my life here.

I usually am the navigator on our road trips as I have a sense of direction unlike my husband who gets lost driving out of the driveway. Given a preference on the poodles I will take a standard poodle over the toy poodle (ankle biters) any day. Poodle's are so soft and silky because they don't have fur, they have hair.linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-1016983946672578232014-03-30T09:43:15.764-05:002014-03-30T09:43:15.764-05:00A road trip is the perfect way to cure Cabin Fever...A road trip is the perfect way to cure Cabin Fever!

They're supposedly the smartest breed there is (followed closely by my late GSD). Anyway, isn't that cool food art. I might try that! Why not put some of my home-canned goods on a shelf in the kitchen.

The standards have kept the original quality of the breed while the little have been bred for size, I think. I met a pair of standards once and was impressed and surprised they were the same breed as the yappers.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-45817687140949539682014-03-30T07:58:16.975-05:002014-03-30T07:58:16.975-05:00Travel always sounds great to me until I have to g...Travel always sounds great to me until I have to go. I'm becoming more of a homebody as the years go by.<br />And the poodles look like fun guys. I think poodles' image has been spoiled by all the silly haircuts. They're actually great with people, and better than that, they don't shed.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-74880956702495496252014-03-30T07:20:11.538-05:002014-03-30T07:20:11.538-05:00I'm beginning to pack for my week-long trip.
