SPECIAL UPDATE MARCH 17, 2010
I am so happy. Because Patty is not on the Yolo County SPCA website any more.
So I think she found a new family to live with.
Maybe because her name is Patty and this week is St. Patrick’s Day
Or maybe we helped her do that!!
Good Luck Patty!
BUT
Guerro and Prado are still looking for their new homes too.
They are very nice Poodle Mixes too.
And you can see their photos in the sidebar on the side of here.
And they are with the Yolo SPCA too.
On Sunday we went to Poodles of Yolo. It was very fun. But a very special thing happened too.
Because the special thing is that we met Patty. Patty is a Poodle Terrier mix. And Patty needs a new family to go and live with.
[And so do Guerro and Prado. Guerro is a Poodle Terrier like Patty. And Prado is a Poodle mix. You can see them in the sidebar on this blog. And they are at the Yolo SPCA too. Except we didn't meet them.]

Patty is not at the shelter like I was. So she won’t be euthanasia like I would be. Because Patty is being taken care of by the Yolo SPCA. That means she is living in a foster home. And she has a nice park in her neighborhood. Because that is where we met her.
Patty is very nice. She is about 10 months old. She likes other dogs. You can see that in this photograph. Because here she was meeting an Australian Terrier and a Welsh Terrier that she never met before. That’s like my friend Tilly the Rescue Terrier. Because she is a Terrier too. Except Tilly is a Bedlington Terrier-Glen of Imaal Terrier mix. And Tilly wrote a book. It’s called Tilly’s Tale. But I don’t know if Patty wrote a book too.
And we met an Australian Terrier at our last Poodles of Yolo play group too.
So when me and my Best Friend and Patty met those Terriers then everybody there was a Poodle or Terrier or Poodle and Terrier all mixed up. Except I have some Bichon bits too of course!

And here are some more photographs of Patty.

Isn’t she nice? And isn’t she pretty. She’s almost the same color as me.

Patty knows her name very well. And she comes when you call her. Most of the time she does that. Because I don’t do that yet. Not really. But that’s because of the bad things that happened to me before. That made me be a fearful dog. And be scared of many things and people. But Patty is not a fearful dog. Patty is a happy dog.
And Patty’s foster person told us that Patty is very intelligent too. Because she learns things very quickly. Sometimes you only have to show her something once. And then she knows how to do it! That’s like me and my Best Friend too. We do that.
So if you would like a nice pretty friendly and intelligent and playful Poodle Terrier to come and live at your house you should contact the Yolo SPCA about Patty. Or if your friends or family would like Patty to come and be part of their family too.
Or they might like Guerro to come there. Or Prado. Then tell them to contact the Yolo SPCA too. Because we are not in charge of Patty. The Yolo SPCA is the boss of all of Patty, and Guerro and Prado.
I like Patty very much.

Where I was before there was no walks. I never went anywhere. Except to always run away from things and people. Because I didn’t learn any nice things. I only learned how to be afraid. And how to run away as fast as I could if I could do that. That’s called a fearful dog.
But now I go a lot of places. And I do a lot of things. Because that’s called socialization. And rehabilitation too. And recovery. That’s what my Kind Friend said. And I learn not to be fearful and afraid. But I just like it too. Now I do. Because I am not so afraid any more. Not all the time. Just some of the time. Except I know my Best Friend will help me. And my Kind Friend too.
I love to go for walks. And I really love to run. Because I am a Bichon and a Poodle. So I have lots of energy. Just like my Best Friend does.
And I meet my neighbors. Friends too like my Havanese Friend. Because I especially love to do those things in Elmhurst.
So I was very glad when all that cold weather and rain stopped coming.
And we could go for a walk in my Elmhurst.

And you can go for my walk too. Because here is what we saw in Elmhurst. This is some Oxalis. That’s called Sweet Grass too. And some children used to like to eat it.
I like to eat it too. It is juicy. Because I love to roll in it too. But some people call it a weed. A weed is something you didn’t put there. Nature put it there instead.

This is called Flowering Quince.

And here are some more photos of Oxalis flowers. Aren’t they pretty?


We don’t know what this plant is called.

But these are Snowdrops.

And we don’t know what these little flowers are called too!

But here is a Poppy. Except it’s not a California Poppy. The kind that is a state flower so you can’t pick it. This one is a different kind of Poppy. I think it might be from Iceland. But I am not sure. Because that is very far away from Elmhurst. Iceland is not even in California. And it’s not in Montana. So I don’t know why it is here in Elmhurst.


We saw a lot of Daffodils in Elmhurst. And lots of snowdrops too.



Except here are some pretty daisies in my grass-in-the-middle-of-the-street. There’s lots of different kinds of daisies. There’s English Daisies, and Shasta Daisies, and others too. But these ones are not English Daisies. Because they are not Shasta Daisies too. I think they are just Daisy Daisies. And that is a little piece of me in the photograph too! Because I am the same color as the daisies.

Because this is some Violets growing on a tree trunk. It’s in front of my friend’s house.
They feel nice when you touch them with your nose and your feet.

I saw my Havanese friend too. He was doing some gardening. Because he was planting Tulips. And that’s my Yorkie Poo friend helping him too.

Except we don’t know what this flower is called too.

But Elmhurst has alleys in it. They are in the back of the houses. We like them. Because there’s no cars. It’s soft when you put your feet and your face in there. And it’s pretty. Like this. It’s called Quince and Oxalis.

And here is my Plum Tree. Isn’t it pretty? And the plums are good too! They’re green color. Except the squirrels like them too. And they try to eat them first. And the birds. But the plums didn’t come yet. Because first there has to be flowers like this.




Here is my plant too. Except we don’t know it’s name again! Isn’t that silly?


And here is me in my Elmhurst back alley. I am in the Oxalis. That’s the Sweet Grass that children used to eat it. I think those children had a good idea. Because I like to eat it . It’s soft and juicy. And my Best Friend likes to eat it too. So that way I know it is all right to eat it. And it’s soft on my tummy.

I hope you liked coming on my Elmhurst walk. Because maybe if you go on a walk in Elmhurst I will meet you there!
