Story
Hello, I'm BooBoo, a wise older soul looking for a patient human to share my golden years. At 13 years young, I’m a 37 lb Poodle who's learned a thing or two about life…I know what I like and what I don’t. I’m told that’s very Poodle-ish. LOL
Let me start with the car situation. I have an excellent memory, perhaps too excellent, and I remember that cars usually mean trips to the vet or bath time. So yes, I get a bit skittish about car rides. I'm not being difficult – I'm just being cautious based on experience and that I’m probably not going to like what’s coming next! But I go and we get through it. LOL
Speaking of baths and grooming, I'm actually pretty good about it, except when it comes to my face. I prefer a gentle approach there, if you don't mind. I can get a little reactive when people make sudden movements around me, but it's nothing personal – I just like to know what's coming. Once we get into a routine, all is good.
Here's what I absolutely love: affection! I'm not shy about seeking out cuddles and attention from my favorite people. I have so much love to give, and at my age, I don't want to waste time being coy about it. I'm also perfectly content being left alone in the house – I've mastered the art of independent relaxation.
I do have some specific needs that come with my distinguished age. I take joint chews for my arthritis (they taste pretty good, actually), and I'm on a special diet to keep my bladder stones at bay. These little accommodations help keep me feeling my best.
I can get along with other dogs, but I'd appreciate slow introductions – let's take our time getting to know each other. And while I love people, I do better with patient adults rather than unpredictable little ones.
I know I might not be the easiest adoption choice, but I'm hoping there's someone out there who appreciates a mature gentleman with character. I have years of love left to give to the right person who understands that the best relationships are built on patience, respect, and lots of gentle affection.
