Standard Poodle Pictures & Information

Extreme Makeover is doing a show in Mineola. They were downtown the morning of March 3rd shooting some scenes with Ty Pennington and guest, Bill Engvall. Several people showed up to watch the shoot. Gumbo apparently got the eye of the director, because we were pulled to the other side of the street and actually ended up being part of the background for the shoot. This was very cool.
Here is a video of the day. It is all iPhone video, so it’s not the best quality.

On a related note, the photo below is a young man, I did not get his name, who was there with Make a Wish Foundation. He has cancer and his wish was to meet Ty and the crew of Extreme Makeover. He did just that and he did it in style. The long white Hummer limo you see in the background was his!

OK, so maybe it was just a lazy Sunday afternoon. This picture is not set up. They were actually crashed on the sofa like this.

Creole & Gumbo running around the yard. They seem to love the cool mornings.

Ok, so it’s a lake, not a sea. But this is a nice picture of Gumbo and Creole enjoying a boat ride.

Here is Gumbo performing his new trick. Pretty cool huh?

Who would have ever thought that just because Gumbo had his publicist notify the State of Louisiana about his upcoming visit, they would have done this! How cool is this? A billboard on the side of I-20 welcoming him to Louisiana!

My sister has a field behind her house where horses and donkeys live. Gumbo got to meet some donkeys.

Gumbo and I visited my sister in Carrolton recently. She has a white cat named Johnny who generally hisses once at Gumbo and retires to his hiding place under the bed as soon as possible.
Today, Johnny stood his ground a little and gave Gumbo a run for his money. My sister insists that they would be friends if we were ever there for more than a few hours, and she’s probably right.
Either way, it makes for fun video during the getting acquainted period.

Zeus’ neighbor dog sounds mean. We’ve never met him, but he’s big & loud for sure. Their reaction to him is priceless.
