LOL! Katy, Mr. Sails, and Chopper, the white standard poodle, are quite
genuine, and have sailed with us on our boat. Well, okay, Chopper
didn't, even though he was invited. They've also slipped on our dock
for many seasons, save the last one or two, when they moved to a
different port. Now they've moved to a place I plan to live someday,
and no doubt we'll spend time with all three of them again.

Neal isn't original enough to create a sockpuppet as unique at Katy.

By the way, Katy, we just bought another poodle--a 12 week old black
toy. Had to drive to Minnesota to get *******her.**********

Cool....boy or girl? How are they getting along together?


Female. She was the pick of the litter by the breeders--a consortium of
show people who have had best-in-breed and best-in group winners at
Westminster. Her dam was the top female toy poodle the past two years.
She was to have been their Best in Show prospect, but she ended up with a
tiny white spot on her chest that shows no signs of disappearing. Thus
she became a pet. She's gorgeous. I'll send you a photo by email. She
and Niki are doing fine, actually, which is a surprise to us. Nik
growled a bit the first day, but today she is passively tolerant and has
been playing with the pup some. I'm sure in no time they'll get along
famously. Another boat dog.

That's great...and just enough time to get her potty-trained before
sailing season begins. Did the breeders make you sign a non-compete or
"must neuter" clause in case the white spot disappears?

Absolutely. The white spot will doubtlessly remain, but we still had to
sign an agreement to have her neutered. And she is already trained to puppy
pads, and is doing well with the outside routine. She seems to enjoy
emulating Niki.
