Last updated 5/2/20 Royal Standard Poodle Apricot Winnie is at home with family LK in Houston, TX. Parents were Brown Geo x Phantom Vyke 2018.
I simply could not help myself. Initially, you wanted me to simply "Sit"...then you thought it might be a good idea for us to go outside and play, which we did. Once we came back inside you wanted us to "Settle"...this is our compromise, he's settled and I am simply sitting ;o)
Tracking Royal Standard Poodle Apricot Winnie:
The kids LOVE her! Winnie’s still a bit crazy when people come over. Almost no jumping (we had a great trainer) but she has no concept of personal space and no off switch and likes to run full speed at everyone with a loving (but hard) body check. She also likes to mouth on people’s hands, not bite, just a ‘hey, you aren’t paying enough attention to me’. That just means that the kids take friends up to their room or the playroom and close the door to keep Winnie out (away from their friends and away from small toys she’d otherwise eat...or play keep away with). Overall it’s nice and relaxing for me and Winnie downstairs during play dates...I sure do miss play dates! (March Covid 19) I tell everyone that my biggest problem is that Winnie loves all the humans...a bit too much sometimes.
Which toy, which toy, which toy...zzzzz...

During March Covid 19
Here we are on a crazy long walk yesterday, which was very much needed—both
for exercise and to tire her out so she’d let me brush her out completely (don’t
want any tangles since I don’t know when she can go back to be groomed!). She’s
paying extra close attention to the squirrels across the street. Poor thing,
she couldn’t understand why we couldn’t say hi to all the people and dogs as we
walked.
I must say, I look the picture of feminine perfection. In the dictionary, next to the definition of Royal Standard Poodle Apricot should be this photo of moi'. I am 8 months and weigh in at 55 pounds.

Ah, kids...gotta love them. I'm now 5 months old. Mom writes...
Over the past few days, Winnie figured out how to leap onto the couch (which
we’d been trying to keep her off of, at least until we didn’t think she’d try to
eat the cushions). She’d make a game of it, particularly when I was in the
adjacent kitchen trying to cook dinner. Lewis and I decided to try putting her
up there with us and see how she behaved if it wasn’t an off limits zone. All
she wants to do is cuddle! In 24 hours we went from her being completely nuts
when the kids were around (to the point where Joey wasn’t able to come into the
kitchen/family room without adult supervision), to being super calm and chill
and happy to just snuggle. Levi is definitely in his happy place now that he
once again has a “warm furry blanket” to snuggle.
I know you want to rotate this photo to the left... Took me awhile to get into this position and then to determine my orientation

As an apricot color royal standard poodle it was only natural I would be a UT fan. The fashion police would be all over me for the clash with A&M maroon.
Hey, you know what they say, 'It's nice to have friends in the pen'

I have a perfectly comfortable red bed ready for me and I chose my crate instead.
I cannot even imagine how this comparison came about.... I was simply laughing and having a good time when CK snapped my pic. How and WHY this photo of a wombat entered her mind is beyond me.... (gotta tell you though, I laugh every time I see it) ;o)

I am enjoying this ultra lush green grass and getting acquainted with the two younger humans in my new family. I am 8 weeks old here, wait til you see how I grow!
