Shooting The Poodle is a Yorkshire slang term for the female period.
The term is a metaphor comparing the absorption of period blood into the tampon with the absorption of blood into a poodles white fur as if the dog had been shot.
Kirsty's bad mood and quick temper was clearly a symptom of her poodle shooting!

Jess was late to work because she had sex while shooting the poodle, it was a messy affair.
