perfect poodle

My cousins and I have been looking for months for the perfect dog for my elderly uncle, whose last poodle, Dinky, died several months ago.
I found Kobe, who my uncle has renamed Yogi, after a little gray poodle he had 25 years ago, through Perfect Paws.
The two of them hit it off instantly. They seem made for each other. The look on my uncle's face when I walked in with his new dog was priceless. And Yogi seemed to know right off the bat who his new, main human was supposed to be. He came to his new name, jumped in my uncle's lap and I swear he smiled.
My uncle is in his 90s, but in the shape of someone 20 years younger. Yogi/Kobe is about 5 or 6, and weighs around 12 pounds, and active without being hyper. My uncle walks every day and now he has a companion to go with him. They also enjoy munching on popcorn and watching the squirrels at the feeder in his backyard.
Word got round to his neighbors within a few hours that he had a new dog, and one by one they trooped over to meet the little guy and help celebrate with him.

NUTMEG

Dolly, formally known as Nutmeg is a big baby with a ton of energy. She overcame her fear of cars & now we have to worry about her getting to excited & jumping out the window. She loves the air in her face :) You can't go fifteen minutes without her trying to cuddle up under your arm. She's just adorable! We believe she thinks she is a hunting dog, although she loves our hamster.
