Sprocket has a houseguest this week! The pretty little miss Shu is staying with us while her mom is at a conference. She and Sprocket dated briefly when she still lived in Decatur, and by "dated" I mean "totally ignored the utter poo out of one another the entire time they were in the same room". So, you know, pretty much like people-dating in middle school. Even now that she's staying for a longer period, there is virtually no interaction between them, which I find odd because Sprocket loves to play - with us, with Finnovar, with visitors. He's been remarkably detached with Shu, though, even leaving her toys alone - and he takes toys away from everyone, up to and including my parents' Golden Retriever.

It's fun having her here and seeing how different their personalities are. I wish she hadn't been "fixed" because I'd love to have their offspring - an entire herd of fuzzy, roving Shih-Tzus that would mass together, take down a wildebeast and leave nothing but bones in their wake. That would be cool.
