One could claim them to be models of good
behaviour even though such a statement is a
bit of a stretch but they are endearing little
creatures and as child proxies fulfill almost all
expectations in companionship, entertainment
and a focus for our parental void in our dotage.
Two very small, black and furry, wide-eyed
Poodles intelligent and stubborn, devoted and
demanding. Our thoughts are to provide them
with security and opportunities to view the world
as their own and they do vocally advertise their
presence while leaving hints wherever they've been.
We are however left troubled by their aversion to
the presence of others of their kind to whom
their hostility is beyond palpable and gives us
reason to question whether we have gone a tad
too far in patterning our little charges after
ourselves, leading to soul-searching introspection:
is it conceivable that we subconsciously emit
a similar, quieter air of resistance in the presence
of others like ourselves, or are our little charges
repaying in like kind their version of security?
