He Fits Right In


Those of you who know our family pretty well know that we have some interesting quirks about us-it makes life interesting though. Well, our dog fits right in. He sleeps laying on his back with his feet sticking up in the air! Just one of the things that we have noticed while getting to know Tuff.

Now that he has been with us for a couple of weeks, he is starting to show his true colors and personality. We just gave him his first bath yesterday and he was so good! He just sat in the bath tub with a forlorn look on his face-biding his time. We blow dried him afterwards and he looks like a really fluffy puff ball now....like he stuck his paw in a light socket-if that was possible:)

The downsides thus far: Tuff sheds-he really can't help it-just how he was made:) But we have come up with all kinds of ways to try and stop the spreading of the shedding. Brushing daily is number one, and pet hair rollers have come in handy as well. The sucking hose on our vacuum has a whole new purpose.

And we are sad to report that Tavin's Diego figurine that goes with his Diego safari car has gone the way of the world....it was a tragic sight-Diego's legs and arms all chewed up and sprawled across the kitchen floor when we came home one day. As I was reprimanding Tuff, he seemed to say...it was an accident-Diego jumped into my mouth...as he hung his head in shame:) I am not sure what offended Tuff about Diego-who is supposedly an animal lover on his TV episodes-but he is now no more:)
