Poodle doesn't like the sound of the word "bath.".

That's all.

aaaand more doggy ping pong! (was posted here, though the original link is dead)

My dog loves baths this much, too! She's a very dirty dog right now, actually.... in fact, she really could use A BATH. Maybe we should go ahead and give her A BATH.

That's it, taunt the dog. It's not like she doesn't know where you sleep.

Bath. There's a good woody sort of word.

Yeah, I was thinking of that one when I found this. Dogs are fun.

The thing about poodles is they know you are messing with them, and they remember. They're actually furry people in there.

This is one of the drawbacks of owning a cat. No matter what you say to them, they don't give a shit.

Poodles: the new elephants.

I fear it's Acis (from Acis and Galathea).

[Full disclosure: I found this on the youtube channel of a colleague whom I don't know and with whom I'm supposed to play together in a few weeks. Wanted to check out how he plays, found this.]

More accurately:

Poodle has been trained to respond in comical fashion to the command word "bath", which has nothing to do with getting wet in a human-built container at all.

He looks pretty damn happy about the word, in fact. Tail's about to wag right off him.
