We have been planning on getting a standard poodle ever since we had to put sweet Casey May down in January. I wasn't quite ready, but after some convincing we decided that we would go for it. On the 24th of July we went to pick up sweet Abby Grace. She was just 8 weeks old and was so sweet. Unfortunately, the more time Abby spent with the rowdy boys, the less sweet she became. After 7 short days, we called the breeder and told her she wasn't the right fit for our family. She started showing some fear based aggression and to protect herself from all the tough love, she started biting the boys. 3 days later she was on a plane to southern California to live with a new family. It was such a hard decision, but we know that she is going to be so happy there. She was renamed and will be called Mardi May from now on, but to us, she will always be sweet Abby Grace. I am grateful her new owner promised to keep us in her life through email and pictures. That made it easier for the boys to say goodbye.
