The new dog, little Jilly, must have gotten the sniffles in the night. Fortunately, the big box of Puffs was within her reach. She didn't want to bother me, so she just helped herself.
Little sweetheart dog! I would not have minded getting up for her, in fact, I don't know how I slept through this.
This is what was looking me in the face when I opened my eyes.
I know a Cavalier King Charles spaniel that does this trick when she visits nursing homes with her mom: Mom asks "Do you have a cold?" and the dog sneezes. Mom asks "Is it a bad cold?" and the dog sneezes twice! Then mom asks: "What do you need?" and the dog finds a tissue box and pulls one out!! The seniors LOVE this (and so did I!)!!!
When I first saw Trixie struggling to survive on the streets of Pittsburgh, in the dead of winter, I couldn't pass her by. She was a waif, a skeleton, running in search of food, and for her very existence. The temperature that day was well below freezing. At approximately 9 months of age, she only weighted 9 pounds!
After 10 years of living with her, I'm still amazed by her loving good nature and gentleness. She has exceeded any expectation that I might have had, for any dog, and shattered all of my misconceptions about her breed, Pit Bull.
My mission since our first meeting is simple, to make sure that she is fed, warm, and comfortable. I rarely look at her without thinking about what she must have been through.
