Bow Wow OW

Those who know me know I am hard on guitars, roommates and automobiles.

Guess it’s time to update that list and add Chihuahuas.

Cookie and I were playing fetch Monday and she tore her nail off as she ran to kill her favorite new squeaky toy.

Stupid Berber rug…at least it was stain proof because there was a lot of blood. Cooks only yipped for a sec then went right to cleaning the blood off her beautiful white and brown fur. The boy and I were amazed.

“Look at her clean herself,” said Alex.

“Yeah,” I said, “I think she’s been through this before.”

Tuesday I took the dog to the vet and everything checked out ok. Cooks loved all the attention, and loved the opportunity to menace other dogs - - including one of the local K-9 Squad, Titan.

Titan was a big-ass German shepherd at the end of a big-ass, Teutonic looking cop’s leash. Cookie put her mean face on and gave the police dog a nasty straight-outta-the-kennel, “Grrrrrrr!”

Great, just when I thought I was mature enough, and now square enough to not be nervous around police dogs...

Besides her aggressive nature against other dogs, esp police dogs, I had good reason to be nervous because Cookie and I were holding.

The Doc gave us some doggie pain and anti-inflammation meds. Since Cookalicious is just a shade under 8 pounds I showed the boy how to cut the tabs into quarters.

One for Cookie, one for daddy…

The boy learns all sorts of useful things from his old man.

The family pet, all bandaged up led Alex to say, “Doesn’t Cookie look tough? Just like Dick Butkis.”



BEARS!

er… CHIHUAHUAS!
