Shame for whoever it was who used to own her but lucky, lucky, luck for yours truly 
! What a great find! I purchased this beautiful poodle dog plush at a thrift shop in Old Manila for 35 Philippine Pesos (about 7 US Cents).
I named her Poodleyfu. I never once thought poodle dogs to be adorable 
. Sure, they look fairly classy but who’d thought they could actually look cuddly? This representation definitely changed my impression of them 
.
I am an avid toy collector & I have amassed quite a number of stuffed animals already. Poodlyfu is a great addition to it.
I was waiting for one of our mechanics to repair a watch. I’m not used to waiting on repairs as it’s Andykins’ line of work in our business. Out of boredom, I decided to take a look at the stalls & shops around our area. That’s how I discovered the thrift shop where I found this toy. It’s a few walks away from our watch repair shop. After this lucky find, my visit to that thrift shop wouldn’t be my last. I’m sure I’d find another great toy on my next visit… & the next… & the next!
Poodleyfu’s limbs are quite flexible - I checked her tags & it says "Pink Poodle Marionette", I guess that explains why. I spent a few minutes on a photo shoot 
with her. Check out these delightful poses. Aren’t they charming? She’s such a dear!

It’s so cute! And pink too! I wonder if it would be too unconventional to dye my dogs fur! Haha i’m just kidding.. my dog would never stand for it but my dog is half poodle half cocker-spaniel.. she doesn’t look like a poodle but I daresay your thrift shop find was a cute one!
