• Where Oh Where

  I have a dog named Gizmo. Out of the three dogs I have, he is the only one who actually lives with me year-round. Sullivan and Chief are working dogs, and my father has them for most of the year, excluding summer.
  
  So, Gizmo. He'll be three in February, he weighs anywhere between 16 and 22 pounds, he has what looks like an expanding fur-color problem, and he's a Shih-tzu. He's a pretty chill little dude. He usually just likes to hang out wherever I am, or with the nearest group of animals. Right now he's sleeping under my chair with his lovey, a stuffed stingray that I've had to repair a few times.
  
  
  
  Gizmo likes to sleep. Especially if it's a place where he is in the way, and he can do so inappropriately.

  (Inappropriate; guests suggest I get him fixed so that they don't have to look at his bare balls squishing out from between his legs when he stands up)
  
  Gizmo is an adopted dog. He belonged to an old lady who ended having to go into a nursing home, when Gizmo was four months old. When he came to me, he had a flowery girly collar, a creepy haircut, and a weird name: Teech (sp?).

  Since Gizmo's appearance in my life, he's gone through some cute phases, and he's gone through some ugly ones, mostly due to my non-skills with the dog clippers.
  
  (Cute)
  
  (Not so cute; I think that is a mix of mud and horse manure)
  
  (Cute)
  
  (Omg, second worst haircut ever. I should never have let my aunt do it for me. She actually NICKED HIS BUTTHOLE with the clipper blade!!!)
  
  (Cute; right before a haircut)
  
  Gizmo has had to battle the Internet for my attention.

  Gizmo is an awesome dog, but if I could say one thing to him that he could understand, it would be: "Please be less selective about where you shit, OUTSIDE, of course, and hurry up, so I don't have to freeze my ass off while you sniff every blade of grass in the yard." Love, Mama.
