Paz in love!

[charlotte bednarsh]

Paz has always had a "thing" for fluffy white dogs.....small, big, medium size or whatever.  Whenever he meets a fluffy, light white dog, his eyes pop out of his head, he drools and virtually begins to approximate a howl, as he makes an absolute fool out of himself by tripping over his legs while  attempting to "woo" the target of his affection.  So in any event, last night truly proved to be almost too much for Paz's heart to bear; we were taking  a refresher class before his testing for his therapy recertification, and Paz was truly behaving  his best until in pranced an apricot and white, immaculately groomed, large female standard poodle, replete with bows in her hair, and polished toenails.  Initially, I was able to control Paz's enthusiasm by asking him to look at me and giving him a treat (although a steak would probably have been more effective).  Well his restraint lasted about 3 minutes at which point the  poodle's owner dropped the leash and this gorgeous, fluffy, seductive poodle headed straight for Paz, swiping his face with her painted toes.  It was more than Paz could stand; he literally jumped up, let out a howl of delight and with his legs flying he returned her affection by swatting her with his huge paws, and then proceeded to affectionately wrestle her to the floor, although she did manage to keep her bows in place.  OMG......I was so embarrassed however, like any good doodle mother, I blamed his behavior on the other dog, calling her a seductress who was obviously had no boundaries. When I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did.  After attempting to regain my dignity by disengaging Paz from the object of his affections, we left the training site to meet the car service that was going to take us home.  We live in Manhattan, and taxis will not transport large dogs, so I had arranged for a canine car service to drive us back to my apartment.  As the driver opened the door to the car, she informed me that another client and dog were sharing the ride, but not to worry the dog was very friendly.  As we entered the car, the first thing I see is a large, fluffy, immaculately groomed white standard poodle, replete with bows & polished toes (not the same one we had just left behind, but eerily similar).  Paz jumped into the car, his eyes popping out of his head, in disbelief about his good fortune.  The poodle remained extremely aloof, growling very slightly at Paz's unwanted advances; Paz finally decided to lay across my lap (all 80 lbs of him) and kept staring at her the whole way home.....he just couldn't believe his good fortune!   When we got home to my apartment, Paz literally flopped down onto his bed, and fell soundly asleep on his back, with his legs in the air, his head to the side with his tongue hanging out, probably dreaming about large, fluffy dogs..

Go get 'em Lothario!  This is so funny; I can totally see Paz up on his hind quarters flaying his front paws around vying for attention by one of those boundary-less seductresses.

I LOVE this story!! LOVE IT! I can just see Paz and the white, fluffy dogs. How funny that you found two in one day. I just can't understand why the dog in the car wasn't swooning all over Paz :) Sweet dreams, Paz!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Ha ha, this is so hilarious!

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

That's sooo funny! Happy boy, Paz!  :-)))

I would totally blame the poodle. What a flirt! We had one like that in the training class that started after our class. It was a standard size white poodle called Lucy May. She did not have bows, but she was surely not missing an attitude. As soon as she entered the room the very first time, Monty's attention was gone. Normally, he does not care for other dogs, but he just could not resist this white fluffy beauty prancing around. The class ended and even though I did not have the intentions to go see the poodle, her owner decided she wanted to see Monty. So the dogs sniffed, Monty was beside himself, whining and wagging his tail like crazy. And then the poodle snapped at him. Monty froze and could not understand what happened.

The next week when we saw the poodle, Monty remembered this stuck up poodle and when passing by, did not even look at her. She broke his little heart.

LOL! This reminded me so much of the movie K9, and the scene with Jerry lee and the white poodle! 

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

LOL I can picture this so clearly. This is hilarious!

[Karen and Bridget]

Love this!!  It is hilarious!!

Wow, this was interesting on all levels. I never thought about how you'd get a dog from one place to the other in the city. My kids have small dogs they put in a carrier. I have driven my two to the city so this issue just has never come up. One of my sons was refused entrance to a bus with his dog in a carrier so I had to hustle back to the bus and take him to the other line : )

Romeo, Romeo, where fore...blah, blah...Paz obviously knows where when the chance is there!  How cute.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

This is the BEST Doodle love story ever!  It's awesome....thank you Charlotte and Paz.

This is too funny. I think Paz must live by the rule 'If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with'.

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

This is adorable and "you go" Paz, you Ladies man you:)  So cute Charlotte and what are the odds of running into two of them within hours?  Paz was certainly in "heaven" being around those ladies:)
