    aww, teacup poodles (and poodles in general) are actually extremely intelligent, very affectionate dogs. They’re not annoying, fussy, or arrogant.

    Barbara vowed never to dedicate her life to the routine of the competitive circuit if only she could take Best in Show just once. After finally emerging champion a decade ago, she stuck to her word and disappeared from the Westminster lifestyle, even refusing to address Millie by her proper title, Champion Surrey Spice Girl. In the years to pass, Ron wondered if Barbara had made the right decision – after all, they were the husband and wife dynamic duo of the regional dog duels. But Barbara stood fast and slowly but surely, a welcome peace came over the Scott household where regimented prancing laps and posing around their trodden garden were substituted for casual romantic strolls along friendly neighbourhood lanes. Then one uncharacteristically tepid winter afternoon, as Barbara perused her preferred periodical, she came upon a story that rattled something hidden deep down inside. Something she thought she had locked away forever. Millie felt a shift in Barbara’s mood and immediately sprung to her beloved’s lap, her little tail beating against Barbara’s thigh in earnest concern. From the study, Ron felt the tension fill the air and called out, “Barbara, what is it?” The only sound, Millie’s flapping tail. “A deerhound,” was the barely audible whisper of a reply. That bastard breed had made it’s way to the winners circle for the first time in the show’s history, closely edging out the year’s best poodle. “You know what this means Ron,” grumbled Barbara reluctantly, “It’s time to return.” A sudden shredding erupted… Well, if it isn’t little Miss Millie High Maintenance!

    Vivian is deeply distressed. Shirley and Carson had assured her, Miss Millie waswell behaved, affectionate, and slept most of the time. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. First there was the poop in the hall closet. After three days Vivian had sent Collin into the attic to look for the dead squirrel which she was sure to be the source of the gut wrenching smell. After his second trip through the boxes, bales and insulation, Collin gave up in dejected apathy. Nothing more could be done. He was afraid to ask about spending the next few days at the fishing camp, but was greatly relieved when Vivian suggested he might be more comfortable on the couch for the night. Thank goodness the lost black, three buckle galoshes had lead to the discovery and resolution of Miss Millie’s transgression. Next was the episode concerning burying Scooter’s treats in the custom oak log and rock trimmed garden area. Follow quickly by what has be categorized as, when mischievous turns to malicious; Rusty Boy’s leash is missing. Collin and Vivian had developed a very successful way of resolving the disputes which all married couples encounter. Collin had learned to put his foot down and have the last word. In this case it was, “yes dear, you’re right, I’m sorry”.
