Adopted!
The process of adopting a poodle seemed endless, but, in the end, it only took three months from the day I submitted my application to Poodle Rescue of New England to the day I finalized the adoption of Strummer. A PRNE volunteer put me in touch with the breeder who had decided to adopt her out so that she could have the undivided attention of being an only dog.
Here she is the weekend before Patriot's Day enjoying an off-leash walk in the Vermont woods.
It's my weblog and I'll cheat with the date stamp if I want to.
