This is Huckleberry (Hucky) and his new favorite toy - a squeaky rubber doughnut with sprinkles (a gift from our dog walker, Jan.) To say he's possessive of it would be an understatement... he loves it. When he couldn't find it earlier today, he nervously circled the house until I pulled it out from under one of the sofa cushions where it was hiding.
Every time Howard picks it up, Hucky follows him around growling as if he's in pain - waiting for the chance to steal it away. The funniest thing is that he doesn't even really do anything with it, he just carries it around like it's the best prize any dog could ever have.
In the single picture we have of Hucky as a puppy (he was almost 2 when Tom rescued him,) he has a baby pacifier in his mouth - so maybe this is reminiscent of that in a way. But whatever the reason, it's always wonderful to see him happy!
PS - You might notice that this photo is titled with more than a date (an idea I'm stealing from my wonderful friend Ellen,) we'll see how it goes!
Sweet little Hucky...
