Tipo
y, and the
range
This week I want to tell you a story
about a friend of mine named Tippy. Now,
Tippy is a good boyland He is a beautiful
Shihtzu. I asked his owner, Stacy to tell us
this story. Here she is...
"I have a Shihtzu who is adorable, but
none too bright! He is a major mama's boy
and wants a bite of anything I have to eat.
One day, I was sitting at the dining table
and Tippy was sitting quietly nearby (he
never begs, just drills holes in you with
his eyes!), but every hair on his body was
twitching!
id knew
simply
arm orange
You see, I was having a saksj
he wouldn't eat any greens;;
hates greens !)but I had a mand
in the salad, so I broke off a small piece of
orange and tossed it to him. I thought he
had caught it and was eating it, but he kept
sniffing around on the floor and whining.
I didn't know if he wanted more or what.
I called him, and he looked up
at me and there it was, the bite
of mandarin orange was stuck to
the fur right above his nose! Yep,
directly above his nose!
He could smell it, but he
couldn't find it. I nearly fell out
of the chair laughing, then I
grabbed the camera and took a
picture. The grandkids loved it!
When we finally were able to
retrieve it, he finally ate it and
that's when we found out, he
loves mandrian oranges! Who
would have ever known?
Actually, I love them too!
Plus, Mom and Dad say they are
good for us! Try em'!
Until next time,
