Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I Got Love in My Tummy!

This is a post that should have been published over two weeks ago. Unfortunately, my mom acquired the cold from which I had been suffering and ultimately developed pneumonia. Subsequently, my focus turned to her.

Toby received some treats this past Valentine's Day from dear Auntie A (Adrienne's Catholic Corner) and her lovely little four-legged kiddies Elle, Sophie, Angela, and Erica. This was Toby's first Valentine's and also the first time he had anything other than the prescribed food our vet assigned to him. Let me tell you that he was gobbling this stuff up! You should have seen the size of his eyes as he tried his yummies for the first time and saw me holding a second batch in my hands (mental note: wear armour gloves when feeding this little monster by hand). Such a short time on earth so far and this puny-one has found a slice of heaven.

Here are some pics of Toby next to his treats before first trying them. As you can see, the little mischief-maker is anxious to get inside the packages and start chomping. I should make all of you aware that when taking these pics, I had to place Toby on a chair to have more control over what the little puff of smoke was doing. He is simply IMPOSSIBLE to photograph.











So yes, this was Toby this past Valentine's, getting stuff from girls while his master stood dateless in Las Vegas. LOL!

So a big thank you to Auntie A and her critters for making Toby's first Valentine's Day one to remember. BTW, here is Toby's favorite song:

Pause music player before playing video.

Holy cow, Tom! He is sooooo cute!

Thank you to Auntie A for making this insanely adorable series of photos possible. #3 slays me.

So cute! I bet he keeps you on your toes keeping him out of trouble!

Adrienne said...

He is sooooooo cute. I like his direct approach to getting at the treats.

Dateless? If I had known that I would have flown in just to take you out.

So glad Isabel is better. God bless her for giving us you ;-)

(Don't tell Toby that Elle has a crush on Winston, though)

I just figured you out Tom - cute little dogs like these are babe magnets - I don't think you are dateless at all... you devil, you! LOL!

I'm so glad Toby had a good Valentine's Day! I LOVE the pictures of him. It's hard to believe that cute little face can cause as much mischief as you claim he does. ;)
