‘He is the best poodle I’ve ever had’

Meet Rootie Kazootie, a toy poodle who weighs 13 pounds. 

“My favorite Golden Book from the early 1950s was titled ‘Rootie Kazootie,’ and that’s where he got his name. When he was born, he was jet black but quickly grew out to a beautiful silver to match his human mom. 

“He is the best poodle I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many of all sizes. He is very smart and knows lots of tricks. Some of his favorite ones are down-and-roll over, jumping through a hula hoop, and running and jumping high into my arms. He loves all people and is very devoted to his mom, Poppy, and has never been away from her.”
