The Cookie Monster!


Gizmo is my Yorkshire terrier, my amigo, my buddy, my companion and my sanity. No matter how sad I am, he will always cheer me up. He makes me laugh all the time.

He has the most adorable little lady bug that I got for him from Erin at Barkaholics.com. She's wonderful by the way. He also loves her liver biscotti. Anyway, I need to videotape him with the ladybug. He can get a million different sounds out of it, and I swear he's talking to me.

"Mama, let's play. Mama, whatcha doing? Mama, whatcha eatin, Can I have some..please?"

I can almost always tell what he's thinking by the look on his sweet little face.

He also LOVES doggie cookies. The bigger the better! But, he can't eat them when they're big, so he walks around with the cookie in his mouth until he can figure out where to "bury" it. Heaven forbid I should see where he's burying it, or it all starts over again. Meanwhile, the cookie is melting in his mouth and dissolving. It's really very funny to everyone except Gizmo.

He's also taken it upon himself to be the resident cat patrol officer. He really has to let everyone know when there's a cat in the yard. And have mercy if that cat should DARE to stretch out and take a nap on HIS lawn! lol The cat will occasionally glance up at him in the window from the grass and then lay his head back down on the grass. He knows that Gizmo is all bark. The few times I've taken Gizmo out to meet the neighborhood cats, he's actually been very polite to them. Granted, they have to hiss at him a little, but he keeps his distance and doesn't bark. So, why he feels like we need to be alerted when he's inside, I have no idea. Maybe the window gives him the freedom to express his true feelings? :)

He looks at me with those big eyes, and I fall in love with him all over again, every time.
