Poodles are Fantastic

my mom asked me tonight how poodle and i are doing?

it has been almost a week and a half since we had our tearful goodbye at MSP International Airport (and it wasn't just me crying! anyone who knows poodle, knows that i was not the only one crying!). whew--it was hard, bordering on physically painful.

background on poodle and i.

we have been dating for about 3 and a half years. we are both from the same town, same high school, etc.

3 and a half years ago poodle was living in milwaukee and i was living in madison. over mother's day weekend we both went home to visit our mothers. on top of the holiday it was also my 21st birthday weekend. while i was out exploring the local bars i ran into poodle, we exchanged numbers, and started talking. after we had both gone back to our respective cities we talked on the phone for almost 3 weeks before i jumped on the badger bus to milwaukee. it has been magic ever since.

we have done distance in the past--2 years of commuting between milwaukee and madison--and then we spent the last year and a half living together in the twin cities. we have shared a phenomenal relationship. what i am learning now in this new situation is that poodle is a friend. he is not only my partner, but my best friend.

so i want to say again--thank you for trusting our relationship my sweet poodle. i love you.
