This is a community service announcement for all our Japanese friends out there
This is a POODLE
A Poodle is a dog. Dogs were domesticated about 15,000 years ago and are often referred to as Man’s Best Friend. Confusion can sometimes abound as Dogs have been known to eat grass on occasion and can often be found in the company of sheep and lambs, though Poodles are not employed as “working dogs”
This is a LAMB
A lamb is a farmyard animal and can most often be found on the dinner table for Sunday lunch. Lambs can often be identified by the fact that they don’t bark or eat Meaty Bites.
Thus ends the lesson, please study the pictures carefully and beware of men with overalls and straw hats trying to sell you cheap Poodles.
PS - special message to Kathy, please don’t think I am ignoring you, I just can’t comment on your blog because I have lost my old blogger password, instead I am a quiet observer 
Funny story about the lambs/poodles … I think it was a hoax though wasn’t it? I’ve got to say - poodles are ridiculous looking dogs … apologies to anyone who may have a poodle

I am not a poodle fan either (but I love woolly little lambs- not to eat, just for them to run around like cute little crazy puff balls).

Thanks for the giggle Em.
You’ll be relieved to know, you don’t have to stay quiet! I’ve changed the setting on my blog. I’ve discovered all sorts of other settings too, so now I know why I sometimes have to type letters and sometimes don’t, etc etc. I was curious about that one.

PMSL!!! Apparently poodles are the most intelligent of the dogs. Yet they are domesticated - go figure.

So if I’ve got it right, lambs bark and poodles barrrrrrrr.

I heard about this on the J’s this morning and then seen in the Herald Sun at work. Connor (8) was in the car with me when the morning team were chatting about this and he said (remember he is 8), how stupid are some people!!! I think that comment says it all
