Poodles
Harry
Standard Poodle
Harry was born on Thanksgiving weekend, 1999. He's curious and investigative, any noise or smell will get his attention, even if it gets him in trouble...it's a good thing he's so cute! He's the most athletic of the bunch -- extremely playful and loves to run and bounce around.
At home, Harry is very independent, not much of an attention-getter. He loves the head scratch and snuggle, but as soon as there's a three-second pause, he's off to do something else. Despite his independence, he and his brother go everywhere together and are rarely separated. He and William are stars wherever they are seen.
William
Standard Poodle
William was born on Thanksgiving weekend, 1999. He's Peyton's nephew and brother to Harry. He's a pleaser...he gets excited when receiving praise. William is very well behaved and gets along well with other animals and people. He's always looking for ways to get your attention, and will lay or sit next to you, as long as your hands can scratch.
William is slightly timid and not the most out-going of the three in a social setting, but gets into nature and he's the most adventurous. William has many brothers and sisters distributed throughout Los Angeles. They frequently have family reunions and love to get together and play. His favorite toy is a tennis ball.
In Memoriam
Peyton
Standard Poodle
Peyton was born on Super Bowl Sunday, 1996. He was loyal and playful but had no problem telling you how it was. He was the uncle to William and Harry and loved to engage his nephews. Peyton thoroughly enjoyed a day at the beach or at the dog park. He didn't play too much with other dogs, but loved to play and run with his dads. He had also been a part of every Internet venture that Robb started.
Peyton came from a long line of poodles in the Ottenhoff family. He looked a lot like his father, but didn't like to kiss as much as him. Despite his size (he was 65 pounds) he considered himself a lap dog, expected as much, and couldn't understand why other people didn't think of him the same way!
He was very opinionated and easily worked his way into any conversation. If he was sleeping and didn't want to be bothered, he would have let you know! He was master of the office and the home and was very direct at getting attention when he wanted it. He loved going for car rides, with his head out the window and the wind in his hair. And he always got very excited when you asked him if he "wanted to go!" He will be dearly missed and remembered fondly by many.
