The Baby Toy Chronicles For the last week, my husband Mel & I have been in California. We rented a U-Haul trailer to transport some cabinets to our house in Indio, CA. Everything went well on the way down. We left to return home Sunday at noon and put all of our stuff in the trailer so we would have more room in the car. Being the country bumpkins that we are, we didn't lock the trailer. We stopped in Santa Nella to eat dinner at Pea Soup Andersen's and spend the night at the Holiday Inn. While we slept, some %&$*#@^ #$$%&*@ stole all of our stuff! We lost all of our favorite clothes. We had winter and summer clothes. Mel lost some beautiful silk Tommy Bahama shirts I had given him for Christmas last year. I lost ALL of my shorts, best sweat shirts, cargo pants, etc. Sadly, we also lost t-shirts we bought at the Galapagos National Park (we will never return to replace them). Nothing was extremely valuable but they were all irreplaceable:( They also took our cooler with 10 pounds of organic turkey necks as well as 10 pounds of mixed ground dog food for the trip. Worst loss of all was my agility bag! I adored that bag. It was given to me by Julie Borst and had agility Poodles on it. Inside my treasured bag were all of Isabella's brushes, my favorite comb with swiveling teeth, their royal jeweled collars, my clickers, leashes, 1 pound of my favorite spice, zataar, I get in Ashland, Oregon and the greatest disaster of all, Millie's toy, Chippy, and Isabella's love of her life, her Baby Toy! I haven't told her Baby Toy is missing and don't know where to find another. We have a trial this weekend and I don't have her ultimate reward, BABY TOY! Isabella played in the sprinklers before we left so now she looks like Bob Marley and I don't even have a brush to fix her. I am so angry. I am grieving over the loss of my wonderful sweat shirts and familiar comfortable clothing and irreplaceable treasures. This has been a horrendous year for us. I realize this robbery isn't the end of the world and things could be a lot worse but after everything else that has happened to us this year, I just feel like I am being gummed to death by a duck:( Helen & The Violated Royal Naked And Hungry Jility Girls Thank you to everyone who wrote to me! The offers to replace Baby Toy and Chippy and even my favorite spice (zataar) were wonderful! There was even a generous offer for a t-shirt! I truly am touched by all of you wonderful people! The great news is that evidently, my husband packed the agility bag under a bunch of stuff in our car. He said he looked in the car for it but you know how men look for things (no offense to the men on the list!)! I should have looked myself. When we got home this evening, he unpacked the car and found my wonderful Poodle agility bag! It was so great to have it and its contents! Now Isabella has her Baby Toy, Millie has Chippy and I have my favorite bag and spice back! I still have no clothes:( I hate clothes shopping. I think I would like to rent a UHAUL and put food in the back that I lace with X-LAX! That would be great! We did report it to the police but I don't hold much hope:( We won't report it to the insurance company. After our disastrous broken faucet flood in March, we are lucky the insurance company didn't cancel us. I have heard that that practice isn't uncommon. I guess we just eat the loss of our stuff rather than risk losing our home owners insurance:( Helen & The We Are Sure Glad Dad Hid Our Toys So The Thieves Really Didn't Rip Off Baby Toy And Chippy But We Wish They Got Those Dang Brushes Royal Jility Girlz Well, I don't know what is going on but Isabella's Baby Toy is missing again! We had her at the trial in Bend last weekend and I went to train yesterday and couldn't find her. I searched again today and no Baby Toy!!! This is bad. I tried to get her to play with Chippy but she just looked at me with ?? in her eyes :( I went online to look for another and looked at every single plush toy I could find. No Baby Toy :(((( Here a link to her photo (she also grunted). If anyone has seen these toys or knows where I can find one, please, please, please let me know! I got the original at Petsmart. http://www.trainagility.com/Toys.html I think we must have left her at the trial last weekend. Helen & The One Very Sad Royal Jility Girlz By now, some of you may be thinking I am a crisis junkie. Well, quite honestly, I am beginning to think the same thing myself, especially after the year we have had! Baby Toy has been returned for ransom. Steve was right! I shouldn't have put up her photo on my website!!! Actually, somebody whose initials are Mel King, put her up on a hook in the hallway (sheepish grin) and we have walked by her hanging there for days!!! It stinks getting old :( So, if you see an exact match to Isabella's Baby Toy, please let me know. I would like to buy a couple extras to have when we go senile again. Thanks to everyone for your help!!! Isabella really appreciates it too. Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz Due to health problems (permanent laryngitis), Isabella's Baby Toy was forced to retire from the agility training ring. Her health had been failing for some time and she continually became disoriented and, consequently, would often get lost. Unfortunately, she also lost her voice from all of her yelling for help. We are pleased to announce that she was bred (yes, all testing was done and she passed everything with flying colors!) to a wonderful stud toy and recently gave birth to identical QUADRUPLETS!!!! We will be breeding her again to a stud toy of a different color and expect other colors in her next litter. We will keep you posted. Meanwhile, Isabella is in LOVE with the new Baby Toys which we have planned to keep for future generations. I will have to send their pedigree to Kathy Foran for scrutiny as I expect their COI to be quite high. We feel it is worth the risk, however, as the resulting Baby Toys are cookie cutter images of their near perfect dam. Evidently, it is Baby Toy's voice that was so fascinating to Isabella. She has a new interest in training now that Baby Toy is once again vocalizing her pleasure with grunts in being constantly bitten and chewed. If you go to http://www.trainagility.com/Babytoy.html you can see these amazing quadruplet's for yourself. Because they are so rare, if we do ever decide to sell a few, they will command a ridiculously high price tag! Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz And Baby Toyz www.trainagility.com PS We won't give up a pick Baby Toy for a stud fee either! Replies I LOVE IT........... this gave me a laugh that I needed. Please send me the directions on breeding Baby Toy's. I must try this myself. Ann Ann Addison Argenta Toy Poodles Columbia, South Carolina canicheaa@earthlink.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/9366 Helen The baby Baby Toys are adorable, but I can't stand it any more I gotta ask....................WHAT is the black rectangle in the crotch area? Lol Could we be put on the baby Baby Toy waiting list? This is really quiche's kind of toy! We would need two as i think Baby Toys should not be separated from their litter mates too early. Karen & quiche ttfn Answer HI Karen, That is Baby Toy's umbilical bandage :) It's a tag! I think I am going to carry them on my website. I really love them and so does Isabella. She was so happy Baby Toy made noise again! Helen ROFLOL!!!! What a beautiful litter! I'm sure that Isabella is pleased with her breeding program, and will carefully socialize and train them. Perhaps you will bring them to PCA next year so we can all see them run agility! Caroline Dear Helen, So I'm shopping with Beth Harris and Patty Mouthrop in Pleasanton and all of the sudden Beth races towards a basket of toys at a vendor's booth - "THAT'S Baby Toy!" she exclaims with delight. The manufacturer should give you a job in marketing! A jog that involves going to as many agility trials as possible, putting you and the girlz in the most posh accommodations, and paying you scads of money.... I am, however, reminded of the characters in "Best in Show" with the Weimeraners... ;-) glad Isabella is once again being treated in the royal fashion she deserves! take care – -- Lisa Greene, Josephine, and Flynn http://home.earthlink.net/~lisagreene/ Hi Helen, I loved the photo of the quads. Upon close scrutiny I noticed that you will be easily able to tell them apart by their markings. I actually saw one at Petsmart, here in the northern wastelands (Ottawa), and Baby Toy was green not red. Must be another blood line. ...or perhaps a geographic variation due to latitude, the length of days, amount of sunlight, etc.? Leslie, Pippin, (I'm 5 now, we had cake and presents!)Kelty Answer We will be breeding to the yellow stud toy next season. We will be expecting fuchsias, yellows and greens. I am not sure about how these colors are passed on. I am not sure anyone is at this time. We need a Baby Toy data base! It seems the two diseases most often found in BTs are permanent laryngitis and dementia which cause BT to wander off and get lost. Helen & The Girlz Helen Helen Helen -- You are a *case* ! I think we're going to have to cross the Rockies just to meet you ! However, if I remember correctly the "case of the missing Baby Toy" events of the last few weeks, I think you'll be lucky if someone doesn't bring suit against you and Mel on behalf of Baby Toy (for abuse). She was stuffed under the seat in a van and left outside subject to extreme temperatures and prey for kidnappers; then, she was hung on hook on the wall (medieval-style torture) for days on end. Now, she's being summarily "retired" which, I think at her age, might be a violation of some employment law. I mean, come on, let go because she has laryngitis and then immediately replaced by 4 younger employees ! ? That's classic corporate America tactic. I'm really disappointed because I thought you were so kind a symathetic. If you would have told me about her condition, I could have sent you a few of the grunt voice boxes which you could have transplanted into BabyToy. No, they're not obtained illegally, I've "harvested" them from toys here which were killed in unfortunate accidents and saved them in case a transplant was needed. Sure, Helen, you can share [my post] with whomever you wish. Glad you and Mel got a laugh. Once Baby Toy's lawyers get through with you, you might not feel like laughing ! To add insult to injury, I've just read the post that you intend to exploit the new BabyToys, too ! Yikes. This is distressing. How could I have been duped for so long ? K D&G Helen, Love the photo!! she passed everything with flying colors!) to a wonderful stud toy and recently gave birth to identical QUADRUPLETS!!!! We will be breeding her again to a stud toy of a different color and expect other colors in her next litter. We will keep you posted. So there is a fig leaf covering all the "parts". Did she have an all-bitch litter??? Names?? BT1 and BT2 ?? Don't keep us in suspense??? Deb Rillapudel@prodigy.net Answer Hi Deb, Those are not fig leaves, those are bandages to prevent umbilical hernias :) They are ALL named Baby Toy! Just like George Forman's sons who are all named George! Helen & The BTz & RJGz Helen, I was so sorry to hear about the illness and retirement of Baby Toy, after such an illustrious career in the agility ring. If Isabella is anything like Electra, you will have to do something which may be distasteful to you before introducing one of the quadruplets as a replacement. You may avert your head while you do this, and it will work even if it is not witnessed by you. You have to rub the retired Baby Toy against one of its offspring, to transfer the "essence" of Isabella from one to the other. While it may look like they are having sex, I can assure you that they are not. good luck with the transfer of power. I absolutely *loved* your post. Congratulations on your large toy "litter". I'm sure you can get a high price for them. Susan Susan Fleisher slf373@earthlink.net Berkeley, CA Answer Thanks for the advice Susan! Great news!!! Today we trained with the new and quite vocal Baby Toy! WOWOWOWOWOW!!!! The screaming, grunting Baby Toy mad a HUGE difference! I had an even BIGGER tiger on my hands. I know, some are thinking I started the new Baby Toy too young and she won't hold up. Well, tough. I plan to exploit the heck out of each and every Baby Toy, then breed the livin crap out of them! Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz Okay, Helen, I thought this might happen. I had planned to keep Baby Toy's plight private -- hoping to shame you and Mel into considering/re-considering your treatment of Baby Toy. Baby Toy really doesn't want to cause you ant trouble BUT now that you've 'leaked' her position (albeit with our blessing), we're already getting advice and offers of assistance. First, the abuse charge is an open-and-shut case. We have it 'on tape' in your own words that she was stuffed under the car seat and hung on a hook on the wall. Second, she has a "very strong" case for wrongful termination and age-discrimination, again based on your own words. Although her lawyers admit that they have not previously dealt with a case in which the newer-younger replacements were brought in because they "grunt better", they feel the case has as much merit as those where the replacements were more attractive. Finally, something which hadn't occurred to BT and me, is that she should be filing a worker's compensation claim because her laryngitis is a work-related injury which prevents her from doing her work. Of course, we'll have to look into disability benefits also. You know what happens when the press gets hold of something like this. We expect to be hearing from 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, Dateline ... Then we'll see if you and Mel are still laughing ! I suppose we'll learn that Baby Toy, who gave you the best years of her life, has now been relegated to solitary confinement in a dark box or closet. Probably, she'll be left alone in Oregon when you take her quads with you to California. K D&G Answer Well Kathy, this could get UGLY! Although true that BT gave us the best few months of her life, she is a total ingrate! I bathed her, housed her and took her on long trips to see the world BUT... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NO VOICE! NO CHOICE! Baby Toy is OUTTA HERE! Last night, I placed her in a home with Isabella's niece (her human brother's daughter, Ede the Pit Bull aka Poopie Puppy)! So, now I suppose you and your bleeding heart liberal do gooders will want to get me for using her as bait for a Pit? PROVE IT! I bet there isn't a SHRED (no pun intended) of evidence left to prove ANYTHING! Before getting rid of (oops, I mean placing) BT, we froze her eggs for future exploitation! So HUH! Come and get us if you can! The worst that could happen would be AKC will suspend us from competition for a while. It's too darn cold anyway to go to agility trials right now. Take your best shot! Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz With LOTS And LOTS Of Baby Toys www.trainagility.com Please do not worry about the possibility of Baby Toy following through on any litigation against you. It has been my experience that in the final analysis DOGS do not want to take their people to court. Sison, a retired Seeing Eye Dog, lives with us and once during his active years leading a blind person, someone mentioned to him that he was not given fair working hours and time off. In fact, the WAGE AND HOUR (feds!) were notified and it was discovered that he had a solid case. However, ole Sis did not want to take his person through all of that and said that he FREELY gave his time. Even when he was called to duty in the middle of the night, worked every weekend and worked every holiday.....he said that he could catch naps at odd hours and that he did not SUFFER for lack of rest or care. Sis said that a 40 hour work week doesn't apply to Seeing Eye dogs and so maybe the rigors of being a Baby Toy are all part of the job description and are not open for scrutiny. Now I know that Sis is an exceptional dog....very discerning and reasonable.....but I do believe that it is because he is a dog that he forgave any and all infractions of the law. After all, Baby Toy, like Sison, would have to PRESS charges and it seems to me that she doesn't have enough weight to press anything. Be strong and don't worry. Sherry Darcy, 10 year old sp ("I would never take Mommy to court.") Sison, 12 year old Black Lab, retired Seeing Eye Dog ("Live and let live.....that's my motto") Answer Thank you Sherry. That is comforting. Besides, Baby Toy would have to find somebody who will to take her case on for free and I don't think that is going to happen IS IT KATHY (remember, I have a PIT BULL in the family!)! Helen & The Sweet Little Royal Jility Girlz I think we need to take up a collection to pay for Baby toy's legal fees! I'll start with $5.00! :-) Patti & Hershey Answer Heck, for that much, I'll GIVE you BT (what's left of her:)! But, the whole thing is heating up on PSG! They are going to lynch me I am afraid! Helen & The Girlz How nice to see a bunch of list members being extremely silly.... Kathleen, you are being "silly", right?? Steve & Woola Answer Steve, I think it's very "serious" now they must add "abandonment" and "mental cruelty" in additition to the age discrimination, injury on the job, disability, torture, inhumane (or is it intoy?) treatment. Not to mention the public humilition of being misplaced twice. Poor poor Baby Toy, now she's part of a toy mill!!!! Deb Rillapudel@prodigy.net Reply Just try to PROVE IT! ;) Helen Dear PSGers; I have laughed and laughed during the commentaries back and forth about Baby Toy! It is wonderful to see the creativity and just plain silliness with something so simple and doesn't include cursing or sex! It takes intelligence and wit to write such hilarious answers. I am looking for a smaller version for my TOY BABY, Ebony. Keep up the great work in all areas! Sincerely, Rena and lovely little Ebony PCLU (Poodle Civil LIberties Union) has been asked to take a case against Helen on behalf of Baby Toy. It seems that her Civil Liberties have been denied due process. After all - was she allowed to express her dismay on her treatment - I think not. A Guardian Ad Lietem (sp?) has been appointed for her. We need a psychiatrist to testify of the cruel and unusual treatment she received as well as her tender self estem at being replaced so quickly. ann Ann Addison Argenta Toy Poodles Columbia, South Carolina canicheaa@earthlink.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/9366 Answer You'll have to get Baby Toy away from the Pit Bull First! Here is a photo of the Pit Bull, Poopie Puppy. As you can see, she is already a jail bird and won't care if she gets busted again! http://trainagility.com/emailpoopiejailbird.jpg She's got you Guardian Ad Whatever right here! Helen & The Girlz The Toys And The Poopie This is great ad hominem stuff! I've been trying to muster up the energy, as promised, to present an example of the classic brake to ad hominem attack, which is (1) identification of the tactic and (2) cool dismissal thenceforward. Caroline said she was game--it was worth a try--and I hope she hasn't been holding her breath because I've been very remiss. Our reason for planning to put on this show was, although PSGers are evidently now able to recognize ad hominem attack (which wasn't the case when we started our demos--then, it seemed as if fully half of PSG had never served on their high school debate team and we know that's not true), a high proportion don't yet know the classic method of dealing with it (or we wouldn't have experienced the melee we did a few weeks ago, red herrings zipping around all over the place, and all the Pudelhunds in full cry in 100 different directions, mostly mistaken). Here's a short-cut: Well Kathy, this could get UGLY! Although true that BT gave us the best few months of her life, she is a total ingrate! I bathed her, housed her and took her on long trips to see the world BUT... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NO VOICE! NO COICE! Baby Toy is OUTTA HERE! Last night, I placed her in a home with Isabella's niece (her human brother's daughter, Ede the Pit Bull aka Poopie Puppy)!

I hope you agree, Caroline). We hope it continues--it's witty, funny! Thank you, Kathy and Helen, for the fun! AND I'd like to point out that if either wishes to stop on a dime, even though neither has a leg to stand on when it comes to honest discussion, the classic way to do this is for one to identify that the other is indulging in ad hominem attack, and subsequently cease discussion--or coolly disregard. Of course, if I was the other, and had even one red blood cell floating in my veins, would remark that the first had ALSO indulged in ad hominem attack, and thenceforward turn up MY nose. The best defence is offence, said Napoleon, although from him that seems like a big fat excuse for invading Russia. In this case, the best defence is identification of the ad hominem tactic, and not to address ad hominem further. --Emily Poodle History Project (annotated bibliography) http://www.poodlehistory.org Answer << This is a far better ad hominemish exchange than any Caroline and I put forward over the years (uh... I hope you agree, Caroline). >> Absolutely!! And it is funny as all get out too. I have laughed until my sides hurt. (Emily, I have been so busy lately, that I had forgotten all about our proposed demonstration.....Now it has been done for us! ) Caroline Oh, Pleeeease, Pleeeese don't let my poodles know about this! I have been keeping Baby Toy's plight away from them lest they take action against me for re-homing their favorite, Bunji-Toy. If they knew where Bunji-Toy was, I am sure they would encourage her to act; in spite of her being one-eared, no eyed, stinky, and wounded in the side with inadequate stitches that left a nasty scar. Of course, maybe she would sue Tigger, since it was Tig who chewed off, then swallowed whole, one of Bunji-Toy's ears to keep the other poos from getting it. And as these things go, if the poos find out the PCLU exists, not only will I have to deal with problems over Bunji-Toy, I will have to deal with all sorts of other complaints; the lack of a sufficient supply of treats; the need to go outside to potty when it is raining, since we humans don't; the lack of 24 hour petting and stroking servies; and most of all, why there are never enough tennis balls and frisbees to go around. Baby Toy, see what you have started! Irma Answer But Irma, did you get frozen eggs before "placing" Bunji-Toy? That's ALL that counts! EXPLOIT EXPLOIT EXPLOIT! And proud of it! Helen & The Exploited Everythings Reply to answer I didn't get frozen eggs, but I have some "hairs" I can use for DNA.....That way we can try cloning. Irma Answer I should have thought about that! Helen & The Girlie Girlz More from Irma Now, be careful about this; I don't want to end up being a material witness! Kathryn, you did not see this post, OK? Irma Ann ~ Since her name is Baby Toy, I am assuming she is a minor. While I am not a psychiatrist, I am a professional social worker with experience and training in child welfare, particularly in matters of neglect and abuse. I will be happy to interview Baby Toy (we may need an ASL interpreter, since I understand that Baby Toy is no longer able to vocalize), conduct an investigation of her home of origin, and prepare a study of her prospective adoptive home. While this won't help much with PCLU's case (they deal with Constitutional issues, I believe), it will certainly be useful for any abuse/neglect hearing held to determine whether it is in Baby Toy's best interest to have Helen's custody of her legally terminated. I note that Helen has not been terribly concerned about the possibility of legal proceedings related to her care and custody of Baby Toy. She apparently doesn't understand that if her home is found unfit for Baby Toy, it is likely that it will also be found unfit for Baby Toy's infant quadruplets. (Chew on *that*, Helen!)

Charolett and the poos Helen You just take a lesson from Ty Warner, Beanie Baby Magnet and Market Manipulator Extraordinair. Keep your supply controlled and low. Use medival threats and restrictions on your distributors. Appeal to a market with no self control, such as small children or sufferers of MPS. And BINGO, you're rich! Also tell the media that any Baby Toy that is actually used for its intended purpose is tainted and therefore valueless. Thus owners must have one to "SAVE" and one to play with and you're sold TWO!!

Kelly does a wonderful job putting it all together. Thanks Kelly! Helen & The Dirty Girlz Karen, do you think the Momma's Poodle Toy Hospital can also do an ear transplant? After we fed Tigger enough salt to make her vomit the ear, it was so yucky, we "humanely" disposed of it. The ear, that is, not Tigger. By the way, there is an Angel-Toy in residence that needs to be rehomed. It seems that none of the resident poodles like the sound of the carol she plays, and she sits, neglected, in the bottom of the cage......watching all the others being taken out for their exercise and play periods. What a sad, sad sight...... Irma Reply Irma I am sure that Momma's Poodle Toy Hospital can do something positive for an ear transplant.

It seems Baby Toy could no longer take the abuse from Ede Peety Poopie Puppy, Isabella's Pit Bull niece where Baby Toy was dumped, I mean placed. Evidently, she suffered a severe Pit Bull attack and stole away in the night! She was last seen at Seattle's Pike Place Market, a favorite hangout for beggars and homeless. Somebody snapped this photo today. http://www.trainagility.com/Babytoysearch.html Reply Hesitation ?!?! I can't believe you have the audacity ... BT didn't wish you any harm. She *loves* you and Isabella. All she wanted was your success. She was thrilled by your victories. It didn't matter that *she* was never recognized and never won any ribbons. All she wanted was to be part of your success. If she was no longer able to contribute to your success, and if you would have explained this to her, she would have stepped aside and cheered you on from the sidelines. She would have been content to be retired to a place of honor among the ribbons that she helped Isabella to win. But no, you didn't even afford her that small courtesy. Now, worse than abandoned, she's actually been thrown to the wolves and maimed. Oh, Helen, I can't believe that this is you acting. Maybe all these years with Mel have taken their toll. Or, did you falsely accuse him of being the one who started this series of abuses, stuffing her under the car seat then hanging her on the hook ? It may be too late to save BT, but certainly someone can do *something* to protect her quadruplets ! Kathy D&G Answer That toy has not one shred of class in her overstuffed and slightly damaged body!!! Good riddance! She was damaged goods anyway!!! Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz www.trainagility.com Replies Well, it looks like we're going to need crutches and an artificial leg for BT. Caroline you are the expert on crutches so please send advice for BT/ amm Ann Addison Argenta Toy Poodles Columbia, South Carolina canicheaa@earthlink.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/9366 Answer And a few stitches I fear. Did you notice BT's arm? It is hanging by a thread. She probably wouldn't go to the hospital for fear of being brought back to Ede Peety Poopie Puppy! Now I suppose she is going to want plastic surgery on the scars! Will it EVER end!!!!??? Oh woes me! Helen & The Girlz Reply I never want to have anything to do with crutches again! I suggest that Baby toy find a free medical clinic, and then apply for Medicaid. They will pay for an artificial leg, and all necessary physical therapy. She may also be eligible for job training with the state Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Caroline Answer So Caroline is that your final IMO? I think we should start up a collection account for Baby Toy. I will be the trustee! So, just send the money to me. Nothing smaller than $100s please! Helen & The Girlz You are sooooo baaaad!!!

Wait, perhaps I should go find her! I can just see those $$$$$$$$. Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz & Toyz & Stuff & $$$$$$$$ I forgot to mention that Baby Toy should report her dreadful assault by the pit bull to the nearest police department. They probably have a Victim's Assistance volunteer who can help her recover from the trauma, and see that justice is done. Caroline I fear that Baby Toy has run away and is probably living on the streets of Seattle. I do hope she is not so desperate that she tries to sell her poor, abused body for licentious purposes! There must be a television show that deals with this. Alice Reply My guess is that she's already booked for The Jerry Springer Show. Sounds like it's gonna be a real tear-jerker, too. Sue Ross Renaissance Miniature Poodles Waverly, Indiana Answer If BT decides to sell her torn and tattered body, I will be there to be her pimp! SHE OWES ME BIG TIME!!! Helen & The Girlz Sorry to rain on your parade, but I think that the photo has been retouched or otherwise manipulated. I don't believe that we can accept it as evidence. It's impossible to know what or whom to believe, now. Events are moving too quickly and the cruelty and indifference of BT's original (birth?) mother are overwhelming and tragic. Susan -- Susan Fleisher slf373@earthlink.net Berkeley, CA Answer I don't think so Susan. Didn't you see that the Will Work for Cookies sign she was holding was all runny from the Seattle rain? Who knows where BT will show up next! Helen & The RJGs & BTs & $$$$$ Hey, BT sounds like a great candidate for Karen Korab's Momma's Poodle Toy Hospital. She takes all the necessary insurance coverages, including all PPO's (Purely Poodle Organizations). And once she receives all the necessary medical attention, perhaps she could co-author a "Mommy, Dearest" type of book about her life with Helen. Imagine - it might make the NY Times book list, or even be on Oprah. Irma Answer What will I get out of the book? Helen & The RJGs & BTs & $$$$$ Poor Bunji-Toy is in our thoughts and prayers, please keep us informed of her condition Karen & Quiche ttfn The bad news is that we have now found out that Bunji-Toy has developed pneumonia, due to neglectfully being locked out of the house in the rain for the last two days and nights. We found her late this afternoon, huddled in a pile of wet leaves; wet, cold, and depressed. We think Tigger is responsible once again; she was standing over the pile of leaves daring the other two minis and the standard to come near her. She is probably too sick at this point to survive the trip to Momma's Poodle Toy Hospital; What a mess she is! Irma Answer Oh WAAAAAA. Send her to Ede Peety Poopie Puppy, that'll fix her fakin crybaby toy wagon! Helen & The RJGs & BTs & $$$$$ Reply Helen just hasn't been the same since that house fell on her sister. :-p Theresa@BowEcho.com Answer You know, I can just FEEL the love!!! This is so great!

Thanks. Helen & The RJGs & BTs & $$$$$ OH, I forgot, with this information on pit bulls we need to get that breed banned so that it can never hurt a baby poodle toy again.

Helen & The RJGs & BT Helen I have a stud-toy that you can borrow for a toy-back, a stud fee, and my pick of your first five litters. He's not EXACTLY the same breed as the BT babies, but as you know, those "rare" exotics are worth a bundle. We can breed him to all of your BTs babies and make a killing. Then you can just breed the offspring to one another, and you'll have the Toy that laid the golden egg, so to speak. Theresa@BowEcho.com Answer Well, thank you for the offer but I ONLY breed to my own line! I don't believe in outcrossing. Besides, I would NEVER give up pick toy!!! Nice try though. Helen & The RJGs & BTs & $$$$$ Even more overwhelming and tragic is that all you people are blinded to the reality of this SHAM!. You are ALL out of control! Can't you see this nothing but a cheap, attention-getting ploy? The hoax of some sicko degenerate (helen?) playing on your sympathies for a broken toy. Shame on you all for trying to involve the PCLU in this nonsense. don't you think they've got better things to do? Whoever said that would be opening a whole other can of poodle worms was right. DON'T DO IT. And to those who are trying to profit off such selfless agencies as BluePoodle/Blue Shield, API (American Poodle Insurance), Met Poodle, etc., shame shame double and triple shame! Stop tarnishing the poor pit bull's good name. BT's red face is enough to anger anyone. Wake Up! This is a sham! Susan Fleisher is on the right track to point out that the photos aren't even real.

Helen & The Girlz Helen I will sugest to tie your baby toys to Isabellas neck so we dont have more escapes, Bitlit. Answer Now I can't do that Bitlit! I only use her for agility. If Isabella gets to play with her all the time, the shiny would wear off and BT would lose her punch. It is all about EXPLOITATION!!! Helen Reply I thought you bought 4 didn I hear abou quardruplets? stick them in a basket, and put a lock on it,,then take one out at the time and when not in use between traveling from one show to the other ,since tiying it arround Isabellas neck dont work tie it arround your own,,it will make an interesting neckless ,Bitlit. you could also kill them all and start to give Isabella treats enstead BG.

We are at -8°C and there's snow on the ground (making leaf raking impossible). And what are the problems I might encounter taking one across the border? Papers are all available and in order I hope? Leslie, Pippin, and Kelty Answer HI Leslie, Baby Toy is a hardy individual as long as you don't leave her locked in a car for days and hang her out on a hook. She washes well in the washing machine but is prone to voice loss which diminishes her value to Isabella. Her voice is fabulous and really turns on Isabella's prey drive. She proudly carries her around at agility trials tempting other dogs to just try to get her away from her. She thinks EVEYONE wants her BT! It is very cute. She guards the crib constantly with all her Baby Toys. It is very funny. Helen & The Girlz www.trainagility.com Who said there no parti's in that litter?

Marji PS: Now the joke is on me as I burned our supper to a crisp!!! Reply Ohmygod! She's gotten to Steve for sure now! I can just see the dollar signs in his eyes! Sande Helen, As a self admitted TB exploiter, what if any testing have you done on the sire and dam before breeding this litter? I understand that laryngitis is known to have shown up in the dam at quite a young age. And it has been clearly proven-- thanks to all the gene testing done on BTs at ParU University --that it is genetically passed on to future generations. I have also heard some rumors that BT lost a leg and I clearly remember reading on the Internet that the leg falling off genome is hereditary and should be tested for by conscientious breeders. There is still debate whether is shows before 3 year tho--so testing really shouldn't be done before 4 years. But so many breeders are jumping on the BT popularity wagon, that if you sell these babies without doing the important testing, other greedy breeders will use them for breeding and in a few short years ALL BTs will have laryngitis and 3 legs. Do you really want that on your conscience? Please Helen, spay and neuter and close down this BT mill until all the testing is done and your breeding stock has proven sound Concerned, Morgan (removing tongue from cheek) & Rain (giv'me one, I'll test it for toughness) Morgan, All testing WAS done! Baby Toy passed with flying colors! I can tell you if ANY genetic problems crop up at all, they will definitely be the fault of the sire!!! Everyone with bitches KNOWS it is ALWAYS the stud toy that passes on genetic problems and NEVER EVER the dam! Beside, BT lost her leg in a Pit Bull mauling. It was NOT genetic! Her arm, she just tore off for sympathy. I am inbreeding to see if any problems arise. If they do, I'll just kill the bad ones and hope nobody notices. As far as her voice is concerned, she lost it calling for help from the bottom of the car mess and then hanging on a hook. I'll just use the BTs until their voice goes and then just breed me another one to take its place! If I started over with "clean" stock now, what about all my work? All the credit would then go to some other breeder and I could NEVER have that! I want ALL the credit! MY EGO NEEDS ALL THE CREDIT! It isn't about healthy Baby Toys, it is about my legacy! Helen & The Baby Toys Oh Yeah And The Royal Jility Girlz I wonder if she's going to expand her milling operation into producing Chippies, then other poor helpless plush toys. In addition to Steve, she's also taken in those nice people at her local shelter by *pretending* to benefit them through the proceeds of her BT mill. Just wait until the abandoned BTs begin showing up at their doorstep..... I can't believe that a vegan would have so little respect for the lives of innocent plush toys :-( Sadly, Constance Constance Mood Image Collection Fisher Fine Arts Library 215-898-7086 Answer CONSTANCE CONSTANCE CONSTANCE! Firstly, I have NO intention of expanding my Toy operation! I plan to breed ONLY Baby Toys. Why mess with success?! Secondly, Baby Toys will never end up at the shelter! People will just throw them in the trash! So, that's the beauty of my breed they're awesome, then toss 'em! Thirdly, I am vegan for my health. I don't give a rat's rip about lives or anything else for that matter except ME! Respectfully, Helen & The Exploited Well Steve, it's a good thing that you have plenty of web space for this thread! Now the question is, can you afford the time off from work needed to continue updating the website? I'll bet that Helen won't help at all with the support of your family and poor little Woola really will have to go work! Looks like Helen will just keep spreading the badness around! Sadly, Sande :o( Reply You are all giving Steve ideas! QUIT IT! How am I going to keep him on my side? Helen & The Rest That's true Irma, I didn't think of that! I didn't have to fill out a puppy questionnaire or anything like that so she is just selling them to anyone that comes along. There was not a spay/neuter contract either.

Helen & The Tutored Reply You just don't want any competition, isn't that right? Susan Giordano Somerville MA Answer Now you understand!

As for the sire? He is a VERY happy stud toy :) Helen & The Girlz & Toyz Reply I'm so disappointed....Helen, you've turned into one of those Toy Mill backyard breeders. I am ashamed of you Loni I am pleased to announce that THE ORIGINAL Baby Toy arrived safely, but tired and frankly worn out, on my door step earlier this week...Yes, the poor little toy, mute and with dried slobber still on her, arrived seeking a safe haven...For now, we are trying to rehabilitate her with TLC and devotion. She seems to scream out in her dreams, but her squeaker is so destroyed that we can't make out what she is actually saying...something about baby toy mills, mean ole Helen...and a motorcycle gang...poor, poor baby toy....I will send some pictures to be posted soon, but for now she just needs rest, lots and lots of rest... If you can provide safe haven for her later on let me know as she will be riding the PSG circuit looking for safe haven from people who know how to take care of a Baby Toy...It may take a while for her to get to everyone who wants her, but I think we can restore her faith in humanity by extending some TLC...You will need to send pictures of her adventures with you and attach a memento of your visit together to her before sending her on to the NEXT helpful lister.... A waiting list is already forming... Nancy and Rocco the Wonder Pup and POOR, POOR Baby Toy Answer Oh WAAAAA Oh WAAAA Oh WAAAA. Don't let her fool you! That ingrate hussy probably sold herself all the way across the country! I bet she enjoyed those bikers too! It is also probably a good thing her voice is gone so you don't hear what she is yelling out! Sure, now she's living the good life, going from place to place mooching like Kato Kalin. Just watch out, if you need her to testify on your behalf don't trust her 'cause just like Kato, she'll turn on you! Just ask OJ about that! Helen & The We Don't Need No Stinkin Original Baby Toy Royal Jility Girlz Reply Nancy, if you think I am providing a SAFE HAVEN for that ungrateful wretch of a toy, guess again! I agree with Helen - she was provided everything she needed, and look at the mess she has poor Helen in now! Here she would just get into cahoots with and corrupt Bungi-Toy, who is still trying to recuperate from her last escapade....I can't take a chance on Bungi-Toy and Baby-Toy mating.....they'd drum me out of the local poodle club and blackball me! Hi Helen, Well the hype was too much for me. I bought two Baby Toys (Green and the original Cherry) and I am having them imported into Canada. When you establish the ABTC I'll open the Canadian (CBTC) chapter. Now I'm interested to know what sexes the 2 Baby Toys will be. As they mature quickly and reproduce like rabbits will I have ten or twenty waiting for me when I go to pick them up? (I may have some trouble explaining that to the cutoms person at the border!) Or Do I have to sign a non-breeding agreement when I get them and then I'll need an ILP # from the ABTC? Leslie, Pippin, and Kelty Reply First Leslie, I would like to congratulate you on you great taste in toys! Baby Toys are unisex but ALL are spayed AND neutered before leaving so no worries about "ACCIDENTS" as these closely related breedings are sometimes called. I am the only one in the ABTC allowed any "ACCIDENTS!" Hopefully, the Border Patrol will recognize the that Baby Toy is ROYALTY and treat her with kid gloves. ALL Baby Toys come with Registration numbers AND instructions! Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz www.trainagility.com I shouldn't read the list at work! I just read the ALL of the Baby Toy Chronicles thus far and someone mentioned not reading them while drinking coffee. Well, I was glad I wasn't drinking as I would have been snorting caffeine-free diet coke out of my nose! What may go some way towards reconciling me with dealing with an unscrupulous purveyor of Baby Toys is that all toys in my household die of old age and are loved to death. Pippin and Kelty have never removed even so much as an ear from any toy. So, actually, I am rescuing my 2 Baby Toys and providing them with a loving home. As they are red and green and Pippin's litter had a nautical naming theme I will name them Baby Toy Port and Baby Toy Starboard. Leslie, Pipin, and Kelty When you establish the ABTC I'll open the Canadian (CBTC) chapter. Reply Now why would you want to register your toys with the American and Canadian Belgian Tervuren Clubs???? Loni Dylan Demon Poodle Wizard...Tervuren Terrific Reply OHOH. I didn't think of that! Perhaps I will have to change it to TRBTC (The Royal Baby Toy Club) Helen & The Thinking On It Royal Jility Girlz Reply sometimes Baby Toy sounds like a Bull Terrier (VBG) especially the one that started all the commotion by disappearing!!!! Deb Rillapudel @prodigy.net Answer It is now OFFICIALLY THE ROYAL BABY TOY SOCIETY! RBTS Poor little baby toy and mean old mercenary Helen, corrupter of Steve! I volunteer to help BT any way I can! Sande ;o( Steve’s Contest! I'd probably say; "My web site is about all my dogs and cats that I have had over the years and it includes my first Standard Poodle Natty Bumppo and my current female Standard Poodle Woola of Barsoom Reply Hi Steve.

Helen The Greedy & The Things Answer Steve, there are only a few Baby Toys left (pinks are all gone) BUT! A new litter is due next week! We expect 50 more and LOTS of pinks in this litter! Helen & The Royal Jility Girlz www.trainagility.com . Replies Helen!!!! How many litters are you having????? This must be the record for toy puppy mills. Irma Answer As many as it takes of course! Helen The Greedy & The Girlz & Toyz Baby Toy Go To Europe! I just purchased your Baby Toys on-line.... I asked Helen if there is any problem sending them over seas. Hopefully we won't run into any quarantine problems in customs. You'll have to ask Helen about the Baby Toy export pedigree... I'm sure she'll be able to answer all your questions. Let me know when the little guys arrive. Steve & Woola Answer Wow Steve,I am delighted!I hope you do understand that you will have to get me an exportpedigree!I'd love a pink one!We already have a big white baby toy,so I can breed them.I hope this is a complete outcross.(That will bring down the COI.) There are two other Dutch poodle girls on lurkmode on PSG.I hope they will read this. Hey ladies,eat your heart out!I'm getting a baby-toy!!!!!!!! Jeannette Hagen Rijndijk 239 A 2394CD Hazerswoude-Rijndijk the Netherlands http://fauntleroypoodles.homestead.com Suckers’ Testimonials So exciting at my grooming shop today!! The Baby Toys arrived! I have an entire litter! I love the Certificate of Authenticity from the Royal Baby Toy Society! Does this also mean I am a member of this Royal Society, Helen?? It sounds so fancy! I will save Jon Jon's BT until we are out of the horse manure training barn. One baby toy will go to a pair of Pomeranians we have to re-home as their mother had to go into the nursing home. The rest I'll save for my crew at Christmas, I think! Marji & Jon Jon www.cloudspinpoodles.com I received my two Baby Toys in the mail today -- a green one and an orange one. Surprisingly, ZZ (who is afraid of red toys) loved the orange one, and Bonnie took the green. There is an odd, repetitive grunting noise going on in the office right now, together with sounds of laughter from customers, with each dog trying to out-grunt the other! The laughing is at ZZ, as her mouth always looks funny with a toy in it -- floppy lips and all you know ! I can vouch for the fact that neither BT is in whelp, or at least if they are, it is doubtful that the baby BTs would make it with the pounding they are taking at this moment in time! Sande ;o))) EVERYONE WANTS TO CASH IN! AND THE SHAMELESS GREED CONTINUES! Helen, This is the last day to place your PSG ornament order with Poodle Graffiti http://www.poodle.org/shop/ornaments/index.html, now I have a little time to talk to you about merchandizing accessories and novelties for BT. I am frankly surprised you have not marketed BT Christmas ornaments, blankets, soap dishes, and let us not forget BT's wardrobe. Since you have obviously overlooked this (Barbie is a obscene piece of plastic without her accessories) Poodle Graffiti would like to purchase franchise rights to all the BT accessories (you keep breeding and get rid of the Steve guy) and I will jet off to Hong Kong and become rich, oh I mean I will be happy to set up the jobbers all on the backs of those BT's. Actually Helen, if I take this off shore I do not need you for anything, I will have my bucks before the attorneys can get started so plan to receive very little. Right now since the discussions has been PhD's I can offer degrees for BT's from Poo U, pedigrees, registration papers. Next week we will have roller blades, plastic cars and houses. The caboodle of Poodles are now going to look at beach property in Malibu. Pat on the Central Coast of California Checked with Dean Mr. Shade, M.D.'s are not available from Poo U. Sorry. Pat Answer Now, THAT is a SPLENDID idea!!!! Who knows, we could have the next pet rock! Helen The Greedy & The Rest Of Them Reply AHHHHH I have just been asked if I would like to help design clothes for BT? I said surrre. SO Helen you are no longer needed! Linda Karr Reply Hey, can I have the job of doing the two dimensional graphics and ads? BT can certainly make a contribution to the Shanahan pocketbook. Irma Reply I'll do the European branch!!
