August 2nd 1935 Betty made her way into the world. August 2nd 2021 Philip the standard poodle followed. Mayhem ensued etc. etc.
I know. It's the best birthday candle holder I've ever seen as well. I bought a bunch of them and when it's someone's birthday it goes on their cake and then they get to keep the candleholder.
In this case the cake belongs to my newly 88 year old mother Betty. Celebrations included Chinese food, cheesecake and a haircut.
Philip's birthday treat on the other hand was more in keeping with the Keto trend. Celebrations for him included a knee cap, wet dog food and a haircut.

This is what mid grooming looks like. A Happy Hoodie to protect his hearing and keep his topknot wet before I blow dry it.
He got his big boy haircut. You're just 16 puzzle pieces away from seeing it.
This is called a German trim. Don't use it for reference at a groomers. It's a BAD German because I'm still a terrible groomer. But you don't become good at anything until you're bad at it first.
Have a good Sunday!
He's so incredibly handsome! Our poodle died recently and I couldn't do without, so we'll be welcoming a puppy into our home next month (April). I've been cruising through all your blogs about training Lip and making cookies and such. I'M TERRIFIED! Say a prayer for me . . . I haven't experienced puppyhood in 12 years!
Hi JLou! Puppy!! That's exciting. I understand the anticipation - for months leading up to Lip all I could do was watch Youtube training and poodle grooming videos at night. Good luck and enjoy it. ~ karen!
Happy belated belated birthday to all. I hope they got together to talk about the good ol' days.
Happy Birthday to all! The German is my favorite of most poodle trims - simple yet stunning. You did good.
Happy Birthday to Betty. My birthday is three days before hers, so we're kindred spirits of the zodiak, or something. I also knit my own socks, but I can be trusted around food. Mostly. I hope she celebrated well.
Happy Birthday to your Mom
