Snuggle Time

Here's little Ruben,crouching in the dog bed, planning his next sneak attack on Pollyanna or Zinnia... when along comes Polly. She has taken over the role of Mother to Rubie, cleaning him, grooming him, and playing with him gently

He has decided he likes the fresh marrow bones i provide for the big dogs, and spends a lot of time working those sharp little teeth on the bones

Pollyanna sees this as a good time to do some cleanup detail on the pup

She cleans around his mouth, ears and chest

then works around to his eyes and the top of his head

She does this often with him...lays along side of him and puts her leg around him in a hug , just like Zinnia did to her when she was a small pup

The cleaner, new and improved Ruben!
