I had to laugh at your neurotic dogs! I tend to cherish my dogs' quirks, or idiosyncrasies if you will.
Seems I always have more than one special needs dog, whether it's medical or behavioral!
Miss Bug is my systemic lupus girl, and does very well with the medications she's been on for a couple of years now.
My two seniors get their daily dose of aspirin and pain meds for arthritis.
Ku'a is my scaredy cat (of strange people) who tends to sit between my legs as I'm doing dishes, and has carried over the quirk of nibbling on my nose like she did as a wee pup. Um, it's a bit more of my nose she nibbles now!
Got to love those fur kids!
