	After afghans, I got Moofie! She was a leggy, black standard girl, who had been in 2 abusive situations before i got her. and---further abuse!----some person, utterly lacking in creativity or specificity---had named her F--i ( you fill in the blanks!---we still won't speak this name aloud in my home!) obviously we weren't going to call her by this absolute cliche. So, after living with her a while, and discovering the hard way that no fruit or vegetable left out was safe from this girl, I named her Muffaletta, which is a traditional vegetable sandwich made by Italian-Americans in New Orleans. hence Moofie, the Moofster---smart and funny, and just a hoot! The vet and I figured she was about 15 mos old when i got her in 1982, and she finally left us in 2003 for an age of at least 22 years!. (the late John Armstrong had gotten a sample of blood from Moofie, even tho we never knew her pedigree or background, because she was so long-lived. Ironically, he himself died unexpectedly before it could be used) Needless to say, there would never be any other breed for me after Moofie. I started getting other spoos as pets: Lucy and Mocha, and all this while I followed what was going on in the breed, but couldn't bring myself to deal with the "outfit" (the continental clip) required for the show ring.

Caspar finished August 10 2002 with 4 majors, 17 points. A great job by his handler, Adriano Rocha.

A) she is poodley beyond belief and she has gorgeous babies, and, B) she takes total care of them for as long as they're with us. I have 2 4-mos. old showbabies now, and when the little goobers think it's cute not to come in when they're called, I tell moomie to go get them, and get them she does!
