10/11/2014

Today is a big day here in Squiggeeland...our Black  miniature poodle Omar is Five today....seems just like yesterday when he arrived and carved out a spot in our family...All our dogs are family and make life sweet....individuals, to say the least, with as many quirks as humans...we also help by giving them special names...Omar was named after a character in the HBO David Simon series called  " THE WIRE"...the character was a loveable Robin Hood type character , a Baltimore  street hood that robbed drug dealers and takes care of his peoples.....Omar loves rides....bacon.....he loves/hates any white truck....the big brown UPS truck  .... Mondays are a must when the trash men come...  Sundays.. always are a bummer because we get no mail...he watches and waits for the mailman  everyday.... this marks  the high point of his day.....he loves to catch balls and chicken...and puts the whoop-ass on his little sister...Twinkle, our 1 1/2 year old Chi-weenie ( part Chihuahua and Doxie)...she is a third his size but full of spit and vinegar.. Omar  has taught Twinkle to be a real part of the family...they  chase each other and provide back up for each other when they think varmints are in the area...especially the non-existant ones....it is always a treat to bring a puppy into the mix and see how the older dog responds....they always bond even though you think maybe the puppy will meet an untimely end when first introduced.... ...Omar has a Town and Country Poodle cut with modifications I designed...he is loved at the Groomers , they call him a love bug....his new groomer says he has the most beautiful fur coat she has ever worked with and says he is so handsome..we think so....he hates wearing anything more than his collar, good thing we are in Tucson.....too hot for a dog sweater....he likes cold fresh water in the dog bowl and enjoys a snuggle...he does not shed and always smells sweet even in between grooming's....he is a joy on so many levels....
he has many nicknames....Sweet Boy......O......big O little mar....Mr. Handsome....Dude....and...my husbands  favorite..Big Boy 

so Happy Birthday. ..Omar  !  you are the BEST
