I'm a young and handsome toy poodle enjoying life in the Adelaide Hills with two humans. Hu-mum and I are here to make canine buddies. I love walks, playtime, sun-puddles, treats and Big Dog (my favourite toy). Hu-mum is the centre of my universe 🩷

No Throw-up Thursday contribution from me this week, but instead a photo taken on Monday when I enjoyed a wonderful romp in the National Park with my humans. Here I am atop a MASSIVE tree stump.

#SchnauzersOnSchtumps (except it's a poodle innit 🤭).

🌳🩷🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle is sitting atop the stump of a gum tree in Belair National Park. The stump is approximately 5 feet tall. Tommy is sporting his blue harness and lead and around him is blue sky, gum trees, scrubland and some open ground. Tommy was lifted into position for this photo (and lifted down again too, of course!) as this stump is too high for him to hop up on to independently.

Tuesday.
Tongue.
Bonus log.
#TongueOutTuesday
🩷🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle is sitting on a fallen tree trunk. He has been enjoying a big walk in the National Park and is panting. Tommy is sporting his blue harness and lead. Behind him is a gum tree and some green foliage. On this walk Tommy found many logs to pose on, plus some picnic tables and benches AND a stump that was so humongous he needed to be lifted onto it (photo of that at a later date).

A slightly shabby effort by the residents at Number 1, but I'll award them bonus points for the roominess of their letter box.

#PoodlesOnPostboxes
Tommy the black toy poodle sitting atop the brown-red brick letterbox at Number 1. The number 1 is crooked and there is a 'no junk mail' sign. Tommy is sporting his red harness and lead. Behind him are beautiful gum trees and nearby is some green foliage and a pink flowering geranium in a pot. If you look closely at the bottom centre of the pic you can see what appears to be a small ceramic image of a cat . . No idea what that's about 🤷‍♀️ Close-up of Tommy the black toy poodle sitting atop the brown-red brick letterbox at Number 1. Tommy is sporting his red harness and lead and looking rather arrogant. Behind him are beautiful gum trees.

It's a special ToT sub-genre, Rocky 😉💕🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle having a massive yawn. None of his tongue is outside his mouth, but all of it is visible. He is lying on a beige couch. Next to him is his purple toy rhino.

I had such fun opening my parcel! 💖🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle is sitting on a beige sofa next to a surprise parcel from his friend Hugo the miniature schnauzer. Tommy the black toy poodle is sitting on a beige sofa opening a surprise parcel from his friend Hugo the miniature schnauzer. "For me??" Tommy the black toy poodle is sitting on a beige sofa with a surprise parcel from his friend Hugo the miniature schnauzer. The box is open now and Tommy is waiting for help with the contents. There are three bundles in the box and an envelope with Tommy's name written on it. Tommy the black toy poodle is standing on a beige sofa with a surprise parcel from his friend Hugo the miniature schnauzer. The contents of the box have been removed - there is a bright green Kong frog, a squeaky green toy pea-pod, and a Schnauzerfest calendar. There is also a card, but it is not visible here. Nearby is some pink wrapping. Tommy is very interested and excited by his gift.

A most wonderful parcel arrived for me today all the way from @hugoandhuman.bsky.social in England! Inside was a beautiful Kong frog (his name is Wiffle), a toy pea-pod with THE BEST squeaker, a @schnauzerfest.bsky.social calendar that features Hugo, and a lovely card! Thanks, Hugo - we love you! 💖🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle with his new toys which were a present from Hugo the miniature schnauzer in the UK - a fabulous knotty Kong frog (named Wiffle in honour of Hugo's frog) and a toy pea-pod with the noisiest, squeakiest, BEST squeaker you have ever heard! Wiffle has a wonderful croaky squeaker too. Tommy is standing on a bed with a grey quilt and black and white pillows. His new toys are three shades of green. Tommy loves his new toys!

PS: Yours is great compared to this pathetic example we found yesterday . . I won't dignify it by even calling it a schtump, let alone schnauzer schtump! She made me sit on it anyway . . 🤷🩷🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle is sitting on a very small and low-cut tree stump. He is laughing to hide his embarrassment.

We made a movie 😍
This is dedicated to my schnauzer friends @siggyschnauzer.bsky.social and @hugoandhuman.bsky.social who introduced me to the wonder of tree schtumps. I hope you enjoy the happy ending 🩷🐾

Throw-up Thursday.

Me at the Annual Australian Kimber Run (for MG vehicles) in November 2021 (when I was a wee lad of five months) and again in November 2023, this time wearing my 'racing colours' 💙😀

💖🐾
Tommy the black toy poodle lying on some grass half under a light blue MGA car. The day was a big adventure for puppy Tommy with lots of cuddles from other rally participants and lots of sniffs along the route. Tommy the black toy poodle standing on the seat of a light blue MGA car with his front paws resting on the vehicle bodywork. He is sporting his blue harness and lead which his Hu-mum calls his 'racing colours'. Tommy is wearing his ears long here. He had a fun day. He doesn't like the family car but does enjoy riding in sports cars for some reason.

No, I CAN'T look right now. I'm busy drinking from the birdbath 🩷🐾
#Won'tLookWednesday
#WontLookWednesday
Tommy the black toy poodle is standing up at a white concrete birdbath in his front garden and having a drink. He had just returned from his morning walk and was thirsty. Sometimes he would rather drink from an icky birdbath or puddle than his nice fresh water bowl. Tommy is sporting his red harness and lead. His back feet are on green lawn and there is a gum tree and some flowering shrubs around him. Although we live in the suburbs, kangaroos have been known to visit this birdbath for a drink. Koalas occasionally visit the gum tree, and native birds always do. There is also an echidna that passes through - sometimes we see him, but mostly we just see claw marks where he has been digging for ants.

Happy ToT, friends! 😍🐾
Look at my pretty pink tongue! 😛🤭
Tommy the black toy poodle is standing in front of a garden bed with purple ground cover, and some rosebushes and other flowering plants. He is sporting his blue harness and lead and is licking his chops for Tongue-out-Tuesday. He wants this photo to double as his Won't-Look-Wednesday contribution too to demonstrate his excellent multi-tasking skills.

This kind of thing apparently 🤷🩷🐾
Tommy the black poodle sitting in a garden bed beneath a yellow rosebush. He was busy ignoring his Hu-mum's request for a nice photo, but she managed to trick him into peeking.

I am a flower 🌹🌸🌺🌷💐🌻🌼

On our walk this morning. I am definitely getting the hang of posing for photos 🩷🐾
Tommy the black poodle sitting amongst some ground cover in front of a rosebush and other flowering plants. The ground cover is green with pale purple flowers and the rosebush has pink flowers. Tommy is wearing his red harness and lead. The sky is cloudy and mostly grey. The photo was taken in the local church grounds. Tommy was most obliging for this photo. On being asked to sit in front of the rosebush he instead went blundering into the undergrowth and sat there instead, thereby creating a much nicer composition than his Hu-mum had anticipated. Good clever boy, Tommy! His schnauzer friends may also be interested to know that during our walks Tommy now hops up on his 'photo schtump' without prompting.

Monday mayhem. I like to ambush my humans with face licks from above when they are least expecting it 😆💕🐾
Tommy the black poodle is perched atop a grey blanket on a black recliner chair in which his Hu-Dad is sitting. Tommy appears to be waiting for his human to forget he is there. Tommy the black poodle is standing with his rear paws on the back of a recliner chair and his front paws on his Hu-dad's chest. He is giving Hu-Dad poodle kisses on his face. He was very persistent with this behaviour and definitely seeking greater attention than just affection. We soon discovered that Big Dog (Tommy's favourite toy) was in another room behind a closed door and needed 'rescuing'.

Done, @siggyschnauzer.bsky.social! 😉 Here's a preview (just for you). Probably not the cutest scene in the movie tho' (or is it??) as it shows me with the leg I ripped off Big Dog 😆💕🐾

🎵🎶 Love Me, Love My (Big) Dog 🎵🎶
Tommy the black poodle with his much-loved toy Big Dog. They are lying on a grey blanket on a black recliner chair. BD is more darn than dog, has only two legs and one-and-a-half ears. Four of his six squeakers remain intact. Tommy is cocking his head and melting his Hu-mum's heart 🩷.

Happy Tuesday, friends! I went to the Vee-Ee-Tee today for my annual vaccinations and check-up. They gave me a clean bill of health! Plus I had a pre-vet walk, a post-vet walk, and treats galore. AND because I was such a good boy Hu-mum bought me a Kong rhino! I love him almost as much as Big Dog 💖🐾
Tommy the black poodle is lying on a beige sofa with his new purple Kong rhino. He is looking directly at the photographer (his Hu-mum). He is 100% gorgeous adorableness. Rhino is very soft with a gentle squeak, and Tommy has given him a good thrashing since he arrived home, a sure sign that he likes him. Tommy was a VERY good boy today (both in the car and at the vet), and made his humans very happy.

Hi Sallie! Hope you enjoyed your walk. Sleep tight, sweetheart 😍 PS: Here's me on my walk at the lake yesterday 💖

Throw-up Thursday. October 2021 - My first bath in my new home.

1. Before: A scruffy puppy. 2. Post-bath: Soggy doggy in the sunshine. 3. After: Hu-mum brushed me dry and turned me into a powder puff! 🛁🚿🧽🧼🫧🐩 😍🐾
Tommy the black poodle. October 2021. Pictured here with a pair of old grey socks that he loved to play tug with (he much preferred socks to tug-ropes). He is sitting on a beige, grey and white rug. Nearby is a tug-rope that is of no interest to him. He still loves socks, especially when his humans are trying to put them on their feet. Tommy the black poodle. October 2021. Fresh from his first bath, his fur is wet. He is lying on a paved patio in the sunshine. Nearby is a pot plant. Tommy the black poodle. October 2021. Following his first bath, he has been brushed dry in the warm sunshine so that his fur is plush and fluffy.
