Dorky Yorkie Part 2

As neurotic as our dog is, he is also a creature of habit. Milo loves to play. The only problem is, his form of playing is ripping the he#% out of all of his toys. Jeff and I have to replace them every so often because Milo destroys every toy he comes in contact with. His rubber toys are torn to shreds and we hear him in a corner chewing on the remnants. If you get to close to him in attempt to take away the little piece of rubber (heaven forbid he choke on it), Milo will quickly swallow to prevent any such victory. He is obsessed, however, with fuzz. Ever since he was a puppy we would see him scour the carpet for the littlest piece of fuzz to lick up and swallow. For Christmas my mom gave Jeff and I new slippers lined with a Sherpa type fur. We often find Milo with one of our slippers vigorously licking the fur as if it were laced with beef flavor. He's crazy. As you can see above, his football is the latest victim. Jeff would gather up all the fuzz to throw it away, and Milo would angrily run in and grab a bunch to try to swallow. He is such a nerd.


Fast forward to tonight were Milo was jumping at the back door to come in. I opened to door, but he didn't run in with his usual excitement. In the darkness I squinted to see the dork trying to drag something in with him. Below you will see Milo somehow found a stick in our yard nearly the length of him. Nevermind that there is not a tree in a football field radius from our yard, nor one of that caliper. Heaven only knows where he found it. As much as you want to just shake him, you can't deny he is the cutest thing ever. So here I type as Milo works at shredding the stick to slivers. I have a feeling this one is going to take awhile!

Cool Dogger.

I remember the night when we put one of demolished dolls in the garbage and he went ballistic trying to rescue Dolly. He was totally relentless.
