Lucky Dog

A few weeks ago Tommy made a great pit bull ambassador at Pasadena's Doo Dah Parade. He traveled through the crowded sidewalk with his tail wagging.
He posed for pictures.
He drank water out of my coffee mug.
Rewards came in tortillas tossed from a float.
Unfortunately I'm a bit of a hard ass about his diet, and I nipped that tortilla with the snoot loop.
But Tommy got the last laugh. He scarfed down two tortillas before I could stop him or snap a picture. Lucky dog.

  9. The missing tortilla part that Tommy chomped out looks like the silhouette portrait of a camel and a sheep. It's a tortilla miracle!!

    Mr V and myself were there too. It looks like you and I were both behind the scenes on Nina street. How did we miss each other? I would have loved to have gotten Tommy in one of my wee video productions

  13. Hiker, that he is, especially in two dimensions.

    Liz, Tommy always gets the last laugh, especially when something as important as tortillas are involved.

    Nick and Lynnie, I love that you both find Tommy as entertaining as I do. He really is a star.

    PA, the miracle tortilla must’ve been blessed by Cheesus!

    I’m so glad to see your vimeo. Would you believe we never even saw the queen? We had to make several detours so Tommy could take care of business, which is probably why we missed you. I would love to have Tommy make an appearance in one of your videos. Next time. Oh, and I saw that little pooch, too. So sweet.

    Kari, it was a fun outing.

    Kristen, isn’t Tommy gorgeous? Louise and the kitties are doing great, keeping me busy, as usual.

    Adele, thanks for stopping by! Tommy is a big ham and loves to get new fans.

  16. Best pics of your man so far! Is Tommy is a purebred or a hybred pit? I don't recall if u said.

  17. Can you believe how far he has come? Such a good boy.

  18. Tommy is indeed lucky. And you're such a good pittie mum, S.

  19. He melts me too, Shell. I’m particularly fond of his pointy head.

    Thank you, Sonia. He’s a good boy.

    PA, how could you forget Cheesus?!

    Thanks, Cafe. He’s a mix for sure.

    Margaret, he’s like a different dog than when I first took him in, although he’s far from perfect. More on that in the next post.

    Thank you, Paula. I love my pitties.
