No Poodles was a website I built after my wife and I visited Spain in 
1998. It was a big hit at the time, but now, apparently, consigned to 
the internet dump.

PESO Looking His Best

[Paul Stenquist]

Junkos are generally not attractive birds. The females are just about solid 
grey and they dig around on the ground for the seeds other birds drop. The 
males are only a little bit better looking. All of them head north as soon as 
the weather turns warm here.  This guy is somewhat of an exception. He has some 
nice feathers and he perched on a branch for me. He even caught a bit of a 
catch light from a sky reflection.

They're a type of dog that looks a bit like a pom-pom, popular with rich old 
French women. Doug doesn't want any round here because they worry the 
cormorants. The dogs, that is, not the little old French ladies.

I won’t go beyond an alcohol wipe. The ball is a precision surface. It still
