A Riddle and Two Posts
So I ask you, what’s less than three
pounds, travels at bullet speeds, sports a pig like tail and has teeth that
rival any shark? Give up? It’s Millie Vanilli (Vanilli is her middle name—like it?)! Millie's my brand new, nearly 10-week-old Mal-Shi puppy. That’s a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix, if you didn’t guess. In my world we call these designer puppies—mutts. My mutt Millie came from a shelter, and we're happy about that.
She runs fast with razor sharp teeth ready to poke painful holes in my ankles and anything else in her way. In fact, I was so desperate that I went to Walmart in hopes that they carried steel socks. You know to discourage her from biting me. No such thing? I settled for a Nylabone. They had those. It occupied Millie's teeth for nearly an hour and then she hunted down my ankles again.
She may look sweet and...SHE IS.

the Farm a remake of Twas the Night Before Christmas. Very clever, Gail!
And go read A Skill Test with Such Zest by The Cat and Pat Hatt at It's Rhyme Time. So cool, you'll drool.
You'll be entertained by both.

My friend just acquired a new puppy. We've both been bloodied, but unbowed by that little beatiie's teeth. Good luck
