Ever vigilent, the blanket-burrowing Finknottle leaves her nose free so she can smell if danger approaches, even while she's sleeping.

Arrival Story:
A rather promiscuous Yorkshire Terrier that belonged to the mother of a friend of mine mated with the Rat Terrier down the street, and Gussie was born and given to me. Her name comes from the name of a character in the "Jeeves" books by P.G. Wodehouse.

Bio:
About Gussie's ears: The picture on her page with one ear up and one folded was taken when she was a puppy. When she first came to live with her permanent mom, both ears folded. Then, for a week or so, one stood up (see cute photo). Now, both big, beautiful ears stand up, as you can see in the other photos. She also sprouted little wisps of hair on her face and neck, and she grew what every little girl needs -- a beard!

In case you hadn't seen these videos of U.S. servicemembers returning from the wars being greeted by their dogs, check them out! Finkmom teared up. Our fave is the beagles because they are making some WILD noises!

Funny thing, though: Finkmom sent this link to my Dranny, then later sent Dranny an e-mail saying she bet those super-excited pups were dribbling pee all over the place. And Dranny said she was thinking the same thing!!!

I, myself, am not an excitement pee-er, but I know some doggies drip a bit.

I see a business opportunity here. They already make doggie diapers, but what about excitement-pee-inhibitor drugs? I can envision it now ...

"Ask your vet about Vaxiwhizz, and put an end to those embarrassing public piddle puddles! Side effects include dry mouth, tail sweat, floating pancreas, nasal toe jam, and crunchy whiskers. So take Vaxiwhizz, and leave the dribbling to the NBA."


Ooo, chocolate candy?! Wait a minute ... AAAAIIIIGGGHHH!!!!

Yes, this is another entry about my bucket!!!

Finkmom has noticed for some time that when I pout, I push my cocktail-weiner-shaped tail down flat against my bunghole, and it is just the right length to cover it perfectly.

I was pouting about wearing my coat in the cold rain the other day, so my tail was down. Then I had to raise my tail to poop. Finkmom realized my rump operates just like a Pez dispenser.

In this case, I guess it's more like a "poos" dispenser!


IT'S BACK!!

The evil, evil cyber squirrel has re-emerged!!! I thought for sure it would be too scared to come back after I cuffed it's wrist with mommies mini-hoop earrings, tied it to a pingpong paddle and waterboarded it with an eye-dropper! ... uh, I mean ... nevermind ... I DO NOT TORTURE, AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR ASKING ME IF I DO!!!

I shall stay on the lookout for this cyber nut-chomping, bushy-tail having, tree-climbing rodent from heck, and woe be unto him/her if he/she messes with the Fink!!!!

'nottle out!!!
