Season's Greetings!
The POO and I don't engage in gift giving at Christmas but we appreciate any occasion to
eat a Special meal. Fact is we are "foodies".
POO saves food. If I give him something particularly good he will eat as much as he can and
use anything handy to cover the rest. And if it includes anything moist I will go right behind
him and put it in the garbage. I don't think he understands but he watches and seems
content to let me put his food in another place. He knows that the refrigerator contains
good things. He is just tall enough to sniff the bottom edge of the crisper bins and wag his
tail. I keep his homemade treats in there.
I was in hospital for a while and POO stayed with his Vet. We both came home a little worse
for wear but better off than when we went in. I was bruised and battered but relieved that
test and treatment was helpful. One of my neighbors rescued me before they could put me
on the psych ward-- I told them not to give me steroids!
POO didn't have any voice. It took me over three days of carrying him around from place to
place and person to person to get any response. Thank goodness and a special prayer for our
friend Shelia. He couldn't make much of a sound but when he got to her he got his little
mind back again.
So this for the POO pals in this world.
