The REO Lounge - Part III

[Justice]

Why don't they just give poodles a close cut all over instead of puffs? Maybe just 1 puff around the neck. I like the mini poodles.Standards are big dogs.

The puffs keep there joints warm when they get wet

Good afternoon Reo-fam! Been prepping all morning for the storm. Generator oil changed and gas can filled - check. New mantles in the lantern - check. 400 lbs of salt/sand in a wooden box in the truck bed - check.

Time for a break. Gotta few friends coming over for low tea. Kettle on and Brown betty full of P.G. Tips. Blueberry streusel and orange cranberry scones all ready. Hope everyone is having a low stress Saturday.

OK- stupid question for the day;

Those of you who use cotton balls for wicking material- do you 'boil' you cotton balls first ? I 'borrowed' a few 100% pure cotton balls, unbleached, from Mamaw's bathroom stash. The first couple hits tasted a little weird, although they seems alright now...

Many folks do. I do not. I've never noticed anything wonky in my flavors really. I use the cotton from my bottles of fiber pills. So it must be good for me

DellaCirque, I woke up thinking about your poodles. I remember attending some retriever training events, all these big guys wiht their big powerful "gun dogs" (labradors, chesapeakes, etc.) doing water retrieving training. And up walks this gal with her .........poodle.
That poodle had a ton of drive, rarin' to go, she gave him the hand signals, then she threw the decoy into the lake, and the poodle was like a machine in the water. Jaws dropped.

At the time I didn't know that poodles are actually Water Dogs, and that those big puffs they groom around the bottom of their legs are actually to serve as "floatation devices", not just "pretty." Fascinating dog breed.

Why don't they just give poodles a close cut all over instead of puffs? Maybe just 1 puff around the neck. I like the mini poodles.Standards are big dogs.

Darrel is right, the poodle puffs are for warmth. The pom-poms are placed around their vital organs (the chest), head (brain) and joints (ankles and hips). There are many variations on how to groom a poodle. Mine rarely have pom-poms, and get shaved down completely every Summer. (not much need to worry about cold joints in Texas summertimes.)
And yes, they LOVE water-

Earl's new hat!

Papaw- I do not boil my cotton. But it has never been near anything except my vape gear. I've heard of it picking up flavors from other items.

Ed- scones Have a nice tea!

Nope! I just pick it, wick it and go.

I just got back from work and HRH from shopping! She got to meet my boss who was just popping into work too. He's the VP of the place and drives a Shelby Mustang, which he says is a nightmare to drive in wet or bad weather.
HRH has offered to drive it for him in those weather conditions!

I do boil, personally.

You can do a years' supply in an hour (or indeed vastly more, it's not like I've measured it...)

It might help with pesticides and bleaching agents (which will be used in organic stuff - just different chemicals), so why not?
