[nagdu] feeling stuck

Larry,

Ah, you have discovered the 1001 uses of poodles! Bare toes on freshly 
combed out poodle curls is something to appreciate. Mitzi enjoys a good 
belly rub with my feet as she does with my hands.

I recently discovered that when one inadvertently touches something 
kinda nasty and greasy just as one must reach out to shake hands, the 
front of the poodle just under her front legs where no one will see 
makes a great handi wipe. /lol/

There is actually someone here, I have heard, who collects poodle 
shearings and makes knitted products out of the wool. I have a ton of 
poodle hair tucked away just in case I can get a carding tool and 
spinning wheel -- or whatever the modern tool is -- and make myself a 
nice sweater to match my poodle! /lol/ Which is pretty silly of me, 
since I so totally don't do crafts. I know how, I just don't do them. 
But this project would be just quirky enough that I would probably 
actually finish. Or I'll get that really great job or consulting gig and 
hire someone who actually does crafts to do it for me... It is a must 
have! /lol/

Tami
