Wait - Tracie Thoms is on The OC? (Or what Matt said.)
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

No, Tracie Thoms is in Rent, not The O.C. At least as far as I know. I only watched the first two or three episodes of The O.C. this season, before shows I wanted to more (Everybody Hates Chris, Alias) premiered.

Whew. I did the same as you did -- watched the first three episodes and then left it behind. (Obviously, I've been skipping and skimming like mad.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's wrong with standard poodles, Perkins? The ones I've known have been quite cool dogs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with them. I was just asking Plei and meaniehead Kat what they liked about them.

Being dogs is a good place to start. They work with that well.

Generally, yes.

A neighbor of mine has a giant sized poodle (bigger than his lab) that's been mercifully spared the poodle cut. He neither jumps and slobbers on me nor yips and snarls like other neighbors' dogs, so he's all right in my book.
I did find out that instead of barking ceaselessly at me, the formerly feral beagle just eyed me warily and then ran when I was in my Burger King costume.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Smart dog.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The one family I know with a standard poodle is totally devoted to the breed. They're on their second standard poodle (only the second in 30 years, so even with a 5-year mourning period in between dogs, clearly not a delicate, fast-fading canine flower) and will probably never own anything else.

stinkystinkystinky dogs! i heartily don't recommend them.
Are you sure it's definitely the dogs themselves, and not your bosses' ability to care for them? Granted, I've only met two CKCs, but both of them were extremely affectionate and all over my face and hands with the licking and nuzzling and rolling around for scritches, and both were noticeably un-stinky -- even practically climbing into my nostrils, they barely smelled like anything at all, let alone dogstink.
And, yeah, I have allergies, but they're not, alas, so strong as to block out dog. English and French bulldogs, I'm looking at you. While holding my nose.
