Food Wars!

My puppies will only eat their own food if they know the other one wants it!

Feeding time becomes a battle of the divas...

Ginger, my Yorkshire Terrier is half the size of Lily, my Shih Tzu- 

Yet Ginger is the first to pounce.

Ginger will wait until Lily is inches away from her food dish, and 

then Ginger will swoop in and start eating Lily's food!

Naturally, this starts a furball-tornado that last until they've both 

run back and forth between their food bowls whirling food around our house!

I guess some dogs have to work up an appetite in order to eat their kibble!

But if I step on another piece of faux steak bits, I'm going to 

Man's Best Friend...

When I come home tired from a long day,
there you are waiting by the foot of my bed;
Tail wagging,
Ears at standing attention,
Head cocked ever so gently to the right,
Dark lined eyes wide open saying, "I'm ready to love you now!"

When I'm too tired to wake up at six in the morning,
there you are hopping around the bed;Paws scratching at my face,
Mouth wide from yawning,
Head cocked ever so gently to the left,
Dark lined eyes half asleep saying, "I'm ready for you to love me now!"

Your ability to know when I'm sad is remarkable,
Your willingness to cheer me up is wonderful,
Your unconditional love makes you my perfect little yorkie...
Ginger, you're my angel.

Ginger Gets A Bath.

My little yorkie Ginger hates taking baths.

She'll scurry side to side like a little sewer rat.

The entire bathroom is covered with a layer of soapy, watery foam-

Finally the last of the shampoo is rinsed from her coat;

Wow! That took longer than either of us wanted it to...

Now comes the fun part-

The blow dryer!

The shaking and whining begins.

Despite her magnificent struggle,

my powerful, yet gentle and loving grasp wins!

The dryer works its warming magic-

The adorable and fluffy fur ball is sparkling clean.

She is ecstatic to have her well deserved cookie.

Peace is restored in her luxurious doggy life!

...until the next time.
