Spencer

Here is the guest post that you so greatly anticipated! I believe you will enjoy it...

I have an energetic pet named Spencer....a proper and fitting name for a dog of English heritage. He is a Norwich terrier to be exact, a bouncy and lovable one. This is a paradox, really. Because he is so adorable, the mayhem he has caused in our household is overlooked and he is still special in our eyes. As our vet bills increase, so do his ploys. First it was the snake he swallowed. So be it, it was dead; it still was with great anxiety that I watched the episode. He was six months old and quickly swallowed the darn thing WHOLE! Oooooowe, must have tasted good. For that little antic, there was a visit to the vets and later another visit with severe intestinal problems. Shots and antibiotics were in order and two vet bills! Then there was the rubber mat under the Oriental rug, parts of which he promptly swallowed. My, how his taste buds fluctuate! Another trip to the vets was required and a stomach pumping. Everything came back up, so the intestinal track was spared this time. However, another billing was incurred.


As the cacophony of the tree frogs increases around the pool in the evenings, he has taken to nose butting the frogs into the pool with great delight... he took it just that tiny bit too far, though, when he swallowed one whole and alive! Didn't hear the frog squeak, but I did. Well, well, another trip to the vets for intestinal distress....more medication and another vet bill.

This is what the bible refers to as Agape love! Love, love, love the little critter except for his BAD BREATH....frog breath to be exact. Need I explain more?

PS I have just purchased meat flavored tooth paste and a doggie tooth brush. I think it will work if he doesn't swallow it.
