Squidges

I know I've written many times about my dogs, but I can't help it -- this is a joy blog, and they are a constant source of joy for me. The cacophony of noises they produce on a daily basis never ceases to make me giggle, especially Pippin's impression of a 600 pound man when he snores and Alfie's squidges. Squidging is what we have named the noise that Alfie started making after he had to have his back tooth pulled -- it's a strange and hilarious sucking/clicking noise that he makes when he sucks air in through the hole where the tooth used to be. I know it sounds gross, but it's actually quite endearing, like a little old man with dentures. Yep, with the burps and groans and snores and sniffs and rooroos and lips smacks and happy sighs there's not much quiet to be had around here, but it's all a sweet symphony to me:)
