- black, medium-sized poodle, born on 9th october 2005, name starts with P., basically means "fluff" in my language
- when he was little he had brown hair near his mouth, now it's mostly grey but still kinda visible
- was a long-awaited, thought through christmas gift
- looked like a small ball of fur when i saw him for the first time on my dad's lap - wasn't even sure it's really a puppy; peed on the carpet within first 10 minutes of being mine
- he has very smart eyes, in a beautiful dark chocolate shade of brown; they really make it seem like he understands everything
- he is very intelligent, learns tricks quickly
- he is also manuipulative and can trick you into giving him either cuddles or snacks very easily and then walk away when he gets what he wants - bit like a cat at times
- is quite a scaredy cat - afraid of unknown stairs, fireworks, thunder, the basement
- he used to pee everywhere when he was left alone in the house, we dealt with this for like good first two years, i think
- destroys some things when bored and home alone - digs through trash (and opens the trash door himself somehow); eats chocolate if he finds some; also if there's butter foil in the trash he will lick it all off; tears apart any paper he can find - but he never does these things if we can see, only when alone
- ate our hallway plant once, rip palm tree
- once he climbed on my desk and ate chocolate coins from there
- likes to have his christmas presents wrapped in paper so he can rip it all for an hour
- is very friendly towards other animals which sometimes gets him in trouble because he trusts they will be also friendly too easily
- only likes to eat one specific brand of wet, canned dog food - plus can't eat dry food
- very picky
- loves pancakes
- likes to play pull a lot and growls like a beast while playing
- is very gentle and careful
- very good at catch, brings back toys to play more and barks when you're too slow
- very energetic in play even now when he's old
- but the older he gets the more he sleeps, sometimes he can sleep for half a day, literally; at times i even nudge at him to check if he's not dead yet
- snores a lot
- has a very beautiful body structure - could be a dog show contestant, really
- can hear my dad close the car door at the parking lot (~200 meters away) and starts barking; same with keys, but not just any set of keys, only our own
- can't go up on those high things at dog parks, probably because of that fear of heights
- loves swimming in water like sea or lake but hates taking a bath or being sprayed with a hose in the garden
- his smell... i will rememeber it forever, my favourite thing in the world
- likes to give kisses a lot
- has a smelly breath
- after walking in snow during winter, snow balls form at his legs and paws and he hates it and can't walk; he will eat the snow after coming home if i don't dry it out with a towel
- is very very good when being dried, either with towel or hairdryer; but wants to play with the towel afterwards and i let him as a reward; he will stop right away after i tell him to tho
- very obedient, knows tricks like sit, lay, paw, high-five, dead, jump, catch... him being trained this well is my personal achievement and something i'm most proud of tbh
- likes to sleep in the legs of my bed, sometimes i want him to sleep higher and cuddle him and he will come but go to the legs again after a while
- but when he has the bed to himself he will sleep on the pillow
- sleeps on my brother's bed a lot too, mostly his pillow; basically he will sleep anywhere that gives him a good view of what happens in the house but also peace and no one bothers him by walking by
- in his sleep he starts to take up more and more space on the bed as time passes by, in the end i have to wake him up to move because i can't even turn myself
- makes whining noises in his sleep sometimes
- gets hiccups
- likes to lay on my dad's lap because that's the only lap he can actually fit on
- when there's fireworks or thunderstorm he hides in the bathroom and shakes from fear
- sometimes before that he will come to my room and if the door is closed he will scratch on the door like a crazy little beast, he won't jump on the bed tho, he just stands there shaking and stiff and u have to take care of him well; his heart beats really fast too
- he's used to jumping from my bed and then jumping on my door to open it - now we have new door so idk how will he work with that lol; haven't seen him in action yet tho
- used to throw up in the car but now he likes driving more, still whines sometimes but likes to put his head near the open window and let the wind blow on his face
- he drools in the car a lot too
- likes ice cream
- knows i won't give him my food but also knows dad will so he always goes to him and never to me
- when you're cutting food in the kitchen he will silently wait under your feet and stare either at u or the floor expectantly, hoping something will fall, either accidentally (me) or not so much (dad)
- likes to sit or lay next to your feet or literally on them
- now that he's old, mom lets him sleep on their bed whenever he wants; at night dad puts a bit of his own cover on the floor and P. sleeps on it; he used to sleep under parent's bed, but now it's a bit hard to get under it or from under it lol
- sleeps on the mat near door too
- almost never sleeps in his own bed
- tho sometimes when i fix his blankets so it looks nice he watches me carefully and then sits in his bed and messes them up again; very annoying and cute
- his hair are like small curls at the bottom and looser at the ends
- he does that thing with his paws to his face when he's laying down, like a cleaning motion, it's strange and funny
- i love him a lot, he is my best friend and my most precious baby who i miss very much, now that im away again
- my baby passed away on 30th June 2020; i couldn't be there for him; i miss him.
