From Shih Tzu to Shepherd...

...German Shepherd that is.

As most of you know, we have a shih tzu named Samson. He has actually adjusted quite well to Jadyn and normally lays just out of her reach, but close enough to her where he can keep an eye on her.

Jadyn is quickly figuring out that when she drops something in the floor, Samson runs to get it. Nice. So, off of the high chair tray and onto the floor. Samson quickly gobbles up the fallout. He just sits and waits for the next cheerio to drop, or whatever the snack de jour is. It was really quite funny at first, must I must say that the comedy is now beginning to take a back seat. Especially when you step on a piece of carrot which he failed to eat. So far, carrots are the only thing that he passes on. He even eats the bananas. But, Jadyn loves her bananas, so unless those slippery things get away from her, the bananas mostly go in her mouth.

She has also learned that if you hold a cheerio down, Samson will come and stand up for her to feed it to him. Which she quickly holds the cheerio up in the air as if to let someone know that she has a question. She then proceeds to shake her head no at the dog. Funny, how quickly they learn. Samson, however, has not learned so quickly. Because, he just keeps coming back when she holds that little hand down there with the cheerio in it.

So, to sum it all up. expect our shih tzu to be the size of a German Shepherd before too long. He has never eaten this much in his life. But in his eyes, this little girl isn't so bad to have around.
