Achilles and Apollo [aka Ricky]
![Killee and Apollo [aka Ricky]](http://www.creoleandgumbo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/achillesandapollo.jpg)
Here’s a photo of Achilles and Apollo [aka Ricky] taken two days ago. Achilles is in background, Apollo in foreground. Apollo [Ricky] was the last of the litter at Ken and Leslie’s [breeders]. Gumbo, Apollo may have your temperament, based on one of your last comments. Like you, Apollo is calmer and loves to cuddle and just hang out with grownups. Killee loves to play, play play! The two of them have been having tons of fun. But you, Gumbo, and Killee look very much alike — your hair may be a bit lighter. Apollo looks alot like Bella, don’t you think?
Apollo has been eating more and we discovered the secret — separate them! Killee eats in our Master Bathroom and Apollo will only eat outside — believe it or not! I don’t know what we’ll do when winter arrives.
They both love going to their Cookie Palaces [crates] as they get treats. We normally only put them there when we leave, but this morning they have been nonstop playing and running through the house. So for right now, they are raxing in their palaces so Mommy can get this posted. They can be quite rambunctious at times and today is one of those days. Mommy needed a few minutes of quiet.
Well, Gumbo, I think you’ve now reunited / seen all of your siblings except the final male….whom may never appear. But we’ll keep our fingers crossed!
Take care and here’s the “goodbye” from your buddy Killee –
Later bro [paw slap], Killee

Those are some beautiful pups, Lahni. Are you guys keeping Apollo? Everyone needs two standard poodles ravaging their house don’t they?
We have to separate Creole and Gumbo sometimes too because they get so rambunctious. It is a non-stop party when they are together and running through the house.
They were playing in the yard yesterday and Gumbo is limping little bit now. His right front leg seems to be bugging him. We have looked him over very closely and see no thorns or cuts or whatever. He does put weight on it so it is nothing serious I think (hope so anyway). I think he will be fine, probably just a pulled muscle or something of the sort. If he still favors it in a day or so we will let the vet check it out.
They are certainly darker than Gumbo is. Very pretty pups. Love ‘em!

Scott and Judi, our very good friends, June and Bill, took Apollo to their home to love. They live about 15 minutes from us so Achilles and Apollo will visit each other regularly. We have known June and Bill for over 9 years and Apollo will be spoiled. I have shared your site with them and they will post photos and updates of Apollo soon. I’ve asked June to send you a headshot of Apollo so you could add it to your banner. I just checked with June and when Apollo went to the vet this week he weighed 40.5 pounds — so Killee is still the heaviest at 44.5 lbs!
Take care and talk soon,
Lance and Lahni
