Compensation

The mailman brought this new toy thing in a package addressed to muzzer today! I have seen these before. Butchy and Miss Snickers have one, so it must be the greatest fun thing ever.

Wellllll....it isn't a lot of fun, but it isn't terrible. To humor muzzer (and because Teka was VERY jealous) I sat on dad's lap tonight and let muzzer run that thing over my back. Seems to me she is starting a Gussie hair collection! She got a pretty big bunch of hair off in a very short time. Then I got restless and Dad let me get down. Then Teka jumped on Dad's lap and muzzer laughed at her. Then I jumped up and reached over the edge of the table and snatched that bunch of hair. Then I ate it. Then muzzer stopped laughing. Then Dad started laughing. Now I am supposed to ask if it will make me sick if I eat my own hair?

Muzzer went to work today and when she came home she had this new kind of doggie food for me to try. I have been very picky lately, not really wanting much except my frozen green beans at dinner time, and only picking at my breakfast food. Friends, if you were here in Azrizona, you would not want to eat much either. But muzzer did not listen to me, and she said we would tempt my doggie taste buds with a more premium brand of dog food.

Well, I figured I would give it a try, because after all, how bad can it be? And I did still get my green beans with dinner, so I figured it wasn't going to be all bad. Right?

So, I started eating very slowly. And then I ate a little more. And you know, this is pretty good stuff for dog food!

And the result is..........................................

Empty Gussie dishes on the mat. We will see, this may be boring or something. And I wish the package was a bit more quietly elegant. I mean, all that gold stuff is pretty flashy, and I am definitely more of a Brooks Brothers guy like my dad.

But the food is good, and it goes well with my green beans. And all the parents had for dinner tonight was leftovers anyway. So we shall see.

And, today I met a new friend named Blue. She is the one who tagged A&A for the food question, and she is a friend of Jackson's and probably lots of other terrier types. And she knew about Oscar and his blog. And you know what? She lives near where my friends Alison and Solly live, they were with us in Virginia last year, and now they are in Baton Rouge, but they go back to their home for summers and holidays. So I am going to write Alison and Solly and find out if they know Blue! This is a picture of Solly and his mummy when he first came to Virginia! It is almost two years old now, and Solly has gotten bigger, because boys do. I wish he would come and visit me soon.
