LOL. Loved it. Used to have a toy poodle. Miss him. Thanks for sharing!

Haha! Very cute. Some dogs are particular for sure. I remember buying Kibbles 'n Bits for my yellow Lab once. But that was the last time, because he would very carefully take the "bits" out and place them on the side of his bowl and then eat the kibbles. I got the hint.

We all know a lot of people like that! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for commenting! I've turned into kind of a picky eater myself. Gluten sensitivity (makes my arthritis flare and gives me tummy bloat--eech!) and avoiding sugar and heavily processed "foods" means I'm trying my best to eat more wisely and healthily to keep from suffering the consequences...

In my younger days I could eat--and did--almost anything...

I remember reading in the sixth grade that they had tried to use poodles as seeing eye dogs but it didn't work because they were more oriented towards problem solving from a poodle point of view--so that if the poodle met with a puddle, for example, it would leap over it, rather than guiding the person around it.

Yep, from my experience,poodles are different than most other breeds..highly intelligent and don't suffer fools gladly. Discerning...
