James just wants to enjoy his morning walks and I stop him so often to take photos! The fall leaves are just so beautiful! I made a new bandana for James with leaves, too:

Images we love to share
Fall in Ohio
I love the beauty in changing seasons. I love that one day a tree will look one way and the next day it can look completely different. I took a bunch of photos the other day here in Ohio – everywhere we go the colors are so beautiful! This house has a LOT of pumpkins:…
Vintage Photos with Poodles
I fell down a rabbit hole of vintage Poodle photos this afternoon. I finally had to put my laptop away! So many of these vintage photos made me smile! This one is so cute because she has a Poodle handbag! I think she just said “I want another Poodle” ha:
James gets Professionally Groomed – Finally!
We all know this has been a weird year with Covid and business shutdowns. James was groomed in Atlanta back in January 2020 and then for non-Covid reasons, I decided to buy this Arco Cordless clipper kit on Amazon. I had been joining James on grooming visits since his groom in Nuremberg, Germany and I…
James the Poodle: Six Weeks Old
I posted back in September the old photos I found of James when he was three weeks old. I realized today that I never posted his six week photos! James was so tiny – he could be bathed in the kitchen sink! James and all of his Standard Poodle littermates: One puppy wandered off the…
Spring in Switzerland
It seems like it has been a long and cold winter. But the days are sunny and the temperatures aren’t quite so cold here in Geneva (we still have our radiators on though). I was excited to see signs of Spring in the park: crocuses and daffodils! We planted a bunch of bulbs in our…
Beautiful Marseille, France
Marseille is definitely one of my favorite cities in France. I’ve been waking up before sunrise to walk James and I just love the view from right outside our apartment’s door: I usually walk James around the grounds of Abbaye Saint-Victor and we look out over Fort Saint-Nicolas and the Mediterranean Sea. And before bed,…
James and His New Frisbee in Sun Valley
While we were in Ketchum, Idaho, we found a cute dog shop called Thunderpaws. They had so many toys and of course dog food and treats. They also had dog boots! And then we spotted this giant frisbee from Ruffwear. It is a floating foam disc and it is HUGE! And the best part: James…
James the Poodle: Three Weeks Old
I am going through old photos and I found these photos of James when he was three weeks old back in May 2010. We don’t know for sure which puppy is James but we have a pretty good guess in some of the photos. Which puppy do you think is James?
Beautiful Summer Flowers in Bend, Oregon
I am really enjoying all of the summer flowers. These flowers are planted but other areas in Oregon have beautiful wildflowers all along the road!
Instagram Poodle Friends
When James got sick a few months ago, the support we received online from other Poodle owners and friends was priceless. We even got a card in the mail from a Poodle friend! Thank you Shauna and John for the sweet card. Hugs to you both and Poodle hugs to Oliver, Finch and Gunner!
James and his Frisbee
James used to be a fetch Poodle. He still LOVES fetch, but at 9 years old, he isn’t running quite as far and as fast as he used to. Last summer, we bought him this frisbee when we were in Breckenridge, Colorado. He doesn’t chase the frisbee like a Border Collie. Instead, Chris and I…
Night Sky Photos
We decided to get up in the middle of the night and take some night sky photos. I didn’t bring my big cameras – just my little Canon G7x. Chris brought his 360° camera and he also did some time lapse videos of the sun rising. He might show those off later here on the…
Poodle Photo on the Window in Gouda
We walked past a veterinarian office in Gouda and noticed a big Poodle decal on the window. We wanted to get a photo of James by the Poodle decal! We later found out from someone on the street that this Poodle belonged to the veterinarian and that Poodle has since passed away. But they have…
La Bottega del Mosaico
One of my favorite artist shops in Florence is La Bottega del Mosaico. I really want to go back to Florence to buy one of these mosaics to hang in our home.
If you were quickly walking past the
The Streets of Florence
I love the streets of Florence. Some are SO small – I realize the FJ would not fit! I love the random fountains, the triangle shaped buildings where two street meet and the people watching!
James and David
“Hey James, pose like David!”
I thought James was striking a similar pose to David looking slightly over his left shoulder.
This is the original location of Michelangelo’s David and this is a copy
Poodles in the Bottega Veneta Window Display
Since 2018 is the Year of the Dog, Bottega Veneta included dogs in their window display in Florence, Italy! Do you see the Poodles? Well, the Poodles in addition to James?
A Sign of Spring: Crocus Flowers
During our first Spring in Washington, DC, I spotted the Crocus flowers starting to bloom in the park where I walked James and in a lot of flower boxes along the streets of Georgetown. I had never seen
James and the Big Red Couch
James really likes our big red couch in Florence, Italy!
