My cold is still hanging in there, but Dinky is on the loose again. She was sooooo excited to get out and play and even when I wasn't tickling her she just followed me around kissing my feet. I gave her an extra treat. There is a little Yorkshire Terrior that lives in the yard behind us. Dinky had met him before. He was barking and nipping through the fence at her until she grabbed hold of his lower lip and made him cry. The little dog was filthy, so yesterday I reached over the fence and brought him in for a bath. I'm sure Dinky was laughing unmercifully. Anyway, after his bath it was play time. He barked and barked at Dinky and she just chased him around. She would back into her *spaces* where he couldn't get her and he'd bark. Then when he'd lose interest and turn around to leave, Dinky would go flying in the air landing on his behind. They had a blast. I'll have to have him over again real soon. Happy Holidays to all the fuzzbutts and hoomans out there! Toni Dinky(mom, can I have a puppy for Christmas) [Posted in FML issue 2159]
