Quick Bio:
Birthday:
July 6th 1995
Likes:
Cats (how embarrassing), cheese, squeaky plush toys, being sandwiched between her favorite humans, & flirting with all her dog friends
Pet-Peeves:
No chocolate for me? can't eat the buttons off your shirt? you're going out AGAIN without me? can't steal from your plate while you are still eating? didn't I train you people better than that?
Favorite Toy:
Anything squeaky, plush or noisy; however, the contents of the laundry basket or the hand of a sleeping human will do in a pinch.
Favorite Food:
Whatever is on *your* plate, especially if egg, cheese or meat is involved; edamame, raw cabbage, lipsticks; Woolf liver biscotti, charcoal OMH biscuits.
Favorite Walk:
Sniffy grass verges in Hackensack; the main shopping district in Astoria, where roast beef appears from behind the deli counter & there are endless opportunities to lure passers-by into falling under the poodle's spell.
Best Tricks:
Convincing humans to do her bidding. If that means dancing in circles on hind legs, well, whatever works. (If you ask "Who's your daddy?" she jumps into her male human's lap & attacks his mustache.)
Arrival Story:
Henna's breeder was an old friend. Henna was born in a fifth-floor E. Village apartment & is a true New Yorker, though she doesn't fit the stereotype -- she's notably unaggressive & very girly. I picked her out of the litter the day she was born (she looked like a hamster), brought her home ten weeks later & have been her love slave ever since. And yes, that's a natural poodle tail, no docking!
Bio:
Henna parades at Mardi Gras as part of the Krewe of Barkus every year, has recently discovered she can fly up onto kitchen tables, & may have a secret identity (cat in a dog suit? goat in a dog suit?). She has her photos featured at holiday time in a nearby photography studio's window, knows nearly everyone in the neighborhood (her human did not have to produce ID at the bank because "that's Henna's mommy") & can pervert the course of justice, on the rare (heh) occasions when she has been wicked, by radiating charm, wit & beauty. If only she gave lessons ... .

Finally, a new apartment where I can keep both humans. The one kept escaping during the week & the other one insisted on going off to work, whatever that may be. The move itself was entertaining (even the movers spoiled me) & there are lots of dogs in this new building, although the mini schnauzers tend to get a bit fresh & that amorous cocker spaniel boy gives me no peace at all.
At last, a place where I can rule -- graciously (I am a poodle, after all) but firmly.
Excuse me, someone has forgotten my daily Greenie & had better get off the computer & into the treat box, NOW.
You can see my Christmas pictures (post-move) at http://extraordinary-popular-delusions.com/gallery/henna-xma s06 -- but they don't do me justice, I'm told. Whatever. They were feeding me liver biscotti, I'll go along with it.

Yesterday we spent an hour at the groomer's shop. While I enjoyed being petted by Camille & Joanne & sniffing noses with Camille's Yorkie/Maltese Bella (& with a Yorkie puppy called Manhattan, two more Yorkies who were devoted to one another & an ancient but still fairly frisky white male mini poodle), I knew that at any moment, someone would swoop me up onto the table or into the tub. Somehow, I escaped (the comments about "she really looks like a sheep, it's time" & "next Saturday for sure" were odd, though). But the stress forced me to sleep between (or, by preference, on top of) both humans all night, & be exceptionally demanding at breakfast.
Yet once again, I'm down to a single human, although it's the one who keeps roast beef in the refrigerator & flings me halfway decent snacks when she goes out on her own. The other one didn't even leave a sock or T-shirt for me to lie upon & look mournful. No consideration.
Camille, the shop owner, says that her collages of dogs (including two or three rather cute shots of me from Christmas cards) were borrowed for use as a background in Law and Order (one of the new ones that's on Friday). I've already been on Fantasy Bedtime Hour (http://www.fantasybedtimehour.com) as an expert on the book they discuss, Stephen R. Donaldson's "Lord Foul's Bane," so this is nothing new, really; however, I'll post the exact date & time, just in case. Possibly the other human will remember to tape it; this one is no use with the VCR at all.
