Poodle
I popped into 'Help the Aged' yesterday.
And ..... before you say it ... NO ... I wasn't looking for Help. They'd reduced all their videos to 50p - who could resist??
As I walked through the door - I was greeted by one of the assistants who said ....
"You look like a poodle"
I was a little shaken I'll tell you. Wouldn't you be? I know the girl wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and she was seriously lacking in social skills - but still.
After pretending to look through the dusty dresses and dog eared paperbacks and trying to give an appearance of uncaring nonchalance, I escaped, rushed home and google imaged "poodle"
I was distraught. I was looking for clues.
Not this - I haven't been a brunette for a some time now.
Amazingly I found a website for other victims of poodle accusation here. I am not alone. My fellow sufferer is called a Bichon Frisé.
It was a windy day and my hair (shabby blonde at the moment) was sticking upwards and outwards. I was wearing a sort of trench coat with the collar tuned up in a cool Eric Cantona sort of way (OK pathetic I know).
Could this have resembled the poodle's shape?
Then I remembered that (like me) many poodles don't go to the poodle parlour.
How about this?
Come on KAZ - Get over yourself - please.Labels: Bichon, Confidence killers, Eric, Help the Aged

Hmm - I expect it was just a reference to your being windblown...
Would shake me too, especially as I'm more of a cat person. :-).
Accept it as a compliment. Poodles, when done up properly are a lovely sight to behold. As, I'm sure, are you; regardless of your state of 'done-upness'.
I think that the comment would not have been made had you refrained from peeing on the floor.
Was size an issue?
Standard? Toy? Miniature?
Lol of laughs at these comments as well as the post Kaz..
I have but one thing to say to you Kaz.. " Shackle-razzle-futzal-craz"

Nope. I can think of nothing to say on this subject. I'm sure Murph will have some knowledgeable comment though.
Diddums:
Thanks for the reassurance.
I'd much rather look like a slinky cat that a poodle.
Rimshot:
You are so kind.
An elegant coiffure is not really 'moi'
Though I can do a great Amy Winehouse beehive if called upon.
Vicus:
Sorry - I couldn't find a lamp post.
mj:
As you know - size is always an issue.
Miniature is me.
Wom:
I was never any good at languages - but - now I can speak 'Muttley'!
Dave:
It's a wise man who knows when to say nowt!
Maybe you shouldn't have called their books dog-eared.
I'd rather be called a poodle than a bichon frise. John Steinbeck had a lovely poodle.
I once won a prize for being the owner that most looks like their dog. Mopsa is, as you might know, a Bernese Mountain Dog. I am therefore big, with long shaggy hair, boisterous of temperament, very loving and when freshly bathed, rather nice to know. Yup, that's me.
And charities wonder why no one goes into their shops anymore - it must be the staff!
There is something worse than being called a poodle. It's referring to ones animal pet as a baby.
For the common sense approach to the staffing of charity shops take a quick look at this editorial:
http://anglicansonline.org/
(It's safe to go here, trust me I'm an Anglican)
Meanwhile I'm off to purchase an animal, stick it in a dress and push it around in a baby pram, lined.
Must have been the leather collar with metal studs that did it.
Or perhaps the cold wet nose?
Geoff:
I would hate to be called a bichon frise - but I've often been called a bich ... or something very similar.
Charlie?
Mopsa:
Congratulations (I think).
Now go and have a bath so I can get to know you better.
Tameside Eye:
Hello - and YES - the shop was in Tameside.
I think this particular one does a bit of 'Care in the Community'.
Arabella:
The Anglican site refers to 'employers of persons who might not otherwise have been employable'. Sounds about right.
Don't buy a cat - they'd soon tell you where to get off!
Stitchwort:
Yeah - now you're talking and that certainly describes my nose - even in summer.
Perhaps she was collecting material for an art project, and a hidden camera was recording people's reactions to her announcement that they looked like a poodle.
Either that, or you should stop having the '80's perms.
I'm here! I think you may be a Poodle Faker, Kaz.
And videos are so last week.
Betty:
Does this mean I'll be a reality TV star - a bit like Jane Goody.
Pass me the curling tongs and look out for the launch of my new fragrance - exclusive to 'Pets 'r Us'
Murph:
Ah - but according to your erudite phrase book (where on earth do you find them?) - I am a gigolo.
Could be worse?
I'm starting a retro fashion - VHS now - next year Betamax.
Thanks for the laughs. I am still laughing as I type this.
I've heard that the good thing about Poodles is that they don't moult, so count your blessings!
[Cherry]ride:
Glad to hear it.
Ziggi:
So you'll never see a poodle with a combover than.
Dare I ask about the fancy schmancy tufts of curls on your hips to keep your joints warm and cozy whilst swimming in l'eau froid?
HE:
What are you suggesting??
My hips are as smooth and beautiful as a baby's derriere.
Maybe, she just wanted to be your Pal & Chum ?
Just goes to show, things arnt always what they appear.........
What a horrible shop assistant. Would you like me to get one of my rough neighbours to put a brick through her window?
Tony:
A lamb being sold as a poodle - I could understand it if they'd claimed it was a 'bichon frise'
"A leading Japanese actress said her 'poodle' refused to eat dog food" - sounds just like most of the dogs I've known...
Lubin:
You've just done a course in negotiating skills haven't you?
I can tell!
