[MyPemCharlie]

Today as Charlie and I were coming home from our morning walk, a neighbor a few doors down (who I had not previously met) was out calling his min poodle...who he lets run free all over the neighborhood every day.

I said hello and we introduced ourselves. Charlie was like a ping pong ball, jumping up all over the guy. Everytime I tugged hard on his leash and said "No Jumping!". Charlie just smiled and jumped more until I finally just stepped on his leash so he couldn't move. He also climbed on top of the guys poodle and pinned him down. The neighbor was laughing saying "It's all right. He's cute!" I told him I wanted to have Charlie Obedience certified and he won't pass unless I can get him to quit jumping on everyone.

As an aside... Talk about dumb and dumber. First I've got the one neighbor with the antisocial Pit Bull next door charging the fence. Now this neighbor I met today told me that his 2 year old min poodle got under another neighbor's fence and impregnated her beagle. He said he would try to help her find homes for the puppies...what would that be?...beadoodles or poodeagles. Bunch of freaking, irresponsible pet owners in my neighborhood.
