and puppy dog tails

Spouse and I have been staying with friends who acquired a puppy about a week before we arrived. Puppy is kind of adorkable, except for the inevitable need to gnaw everything fleshy or otherwise. I had managed to avoid being actually blooded by said puppy, but this morning he dragged a tooth across my wrist and left his mark.

Last night puppy managed to upend an entire bowl of chopped tomatoes, much to his delight. A fast grab meant he only inhaled a half dozen pieces at most.

Needless to say, I have been cured of ever wanting a puppy puppy again. Our pre-trained, 7-year old Chow was a much better fit.
