This is my brown standard poodle Bosco watching out the front window for his favorite (NOT!) neighborhood cat (Spike).
Usually he likes to befriend (or at least tries to!) cats. However Spike, in all his catness, has laid out on our sidewalk and taunted Bosco for several years. We open the door for Bosco to go get the paper out of the paper box and if Spike is there he makes a split second decision to CHASE him! As soon as he has chased him into the bushes he gets back to the job at hand, getting the paper!
My mom's cats are fine, he pretty much ignores them, other dogs are ok...but Spike...that is a whole different situation! Bosco spends a lot of time watching for his "friend", to bark uncontrollably and try to tell him off!

Glad to see you bloggin!
I would love to own a standard poodle some day -- I just love them. And Bosco is particulary handsome!
Very cool that you have him trained to retrieve the paper out of the box. Kat
Bosco! Yum! Do you remember when you'd get a little prize on top of the Bosco lid??mrlzj
LOL! I can relate...Max is the same way with a couple of our outdoor cat visitors.
Oh I love your standard poodle. Such a big contrast to my little Frosty (all 3-1/2 pounds of him).
I need a newspaper dog! Hobart used to do it in Golden.
