My small dog, Willy, and my roommate's small dog, Skippy (a.k.a. The boys) are always having power struggles. And rarely can we have them sharing a recliner, lap, crate or bed without poor Skippy having to show his teeth and tell Willy " This is MY DADDY'S LAP! GET OFF!"... I usually can't have them on my lap because they won't settle down and they hurt my legs. ...When they play, Willy will try to dominate Skippy ...but Skippy either bares his teeth or PEES on Willy or his toys!! Like saying "Here! Take this !!"

We also have Tashi...a sweet, playful, gentle, CLUELESS, quirky female who doesn't do The Power Struggle wish the boys...if they get on her nerves, she just swings her butt around fast and hard and knocks them around. It's a game to her....out of no where, WHAM!! Willy get slammed or Skippy goes rolling over! She's a little Ox and doesn't know her size or power...and when she jumps on your lap, it's like getting hit in the belly or legs with a25 pound sack of potatoes! Now imagine being on a recliner with they boys about to have a power struggle and she jumps up and starts slamming that but around to knock the boys off your lap as she jumps in your face for kisses....GRACEFUL does not describe Tashi....It's amazing neither one of us get bruised from her antics.

This morning I woke at 3am from nightmares and hot flashes...I'm still sad over losing my roommate's big dog yesterday...so when I went back to bed, I wanted to cuddle my furbabies...this is a RARE moment...Willy tucked in tight on one side, Skippy on the other in his "Dippy Diaper" (because he gets up after you're sleeping to mark or leave prizes) with his feet in air, his warm little body tucked in next to my ribs... Tashi at my feet with her head on my ankle ...each one SNORING and having little puppy dreams...

I sent a text to my roommate that I'm a PUPPY SANDWICH!!

I never imagined I could love anyone so much as I do these babies!
