“MY very FIRST pet…” | Grandma’s Stories

Dec 2nd “MY very FIRST pet…”

My very first puppy…a FRENCH Poodle …and we named her…”Charlie Brown” – – just a big bundle of LOVE!

My Father has a friend that does all the work of making a little poodle …look beautiful…and the best part of the “Groomer” coming to our house to do the trimming and cutting of the toe nails… “I get to see how it is all done!”

We set up a card table … with newspaper on top…to catch the toe nails and hair…and hopefully keep “Charlie Brown” from making scratches on the top of the card table – as we do use the card table for all of our games…that my friends and I play.

While…Charlie Brown was standing so nice…for all the cutting of her curly hair …and then she would stand so carefully… while each toe-nail was cut…and she did not cry …she did not put up a fuss…just would stand so calmly and quiet…as if she knew all about what was going to be going on…next. We should give credit to the “Groomer” – as he had a special way of talking to my puppy… it was as if they were the best of FRIENDS…and spoke a language …all their own.
