This is Tipper,
my friend for five years now.
He's a sweetheart.
I call him my Therapy Puppy, because
when I don't feel good, Tipper sits with me to keep
me company and we take naps together.
Now, if I could just train him to get me
a Diet Pepsi out of the refrigerator
Tipper holds the title of the official Library Dog
because he came to My Favorite Children's Room
frequently to help out with a project
or to just to hang out.
He still gets excited when we drive by the Library
and we've gone in a few times
to say "Hi" to the gang.
However, Tipper is not excited to
stop by to see Dr Wilford.
My poor baby shivers and shakes and does not
wag his tail--it finds its way between his legs.
I don't why because his visits to the doctor have
been pretty much routine--not like Snow's.
The fancy bandana Tipper is wearing
is what the cowboys and cowgirls earned
during a summer reading program.

This is Snow and, my, does he have attitude!
He's been my friend for about three years.
He gets in all kinds of trouble like the time
he and Dr. Wilford spent a night together at the the doc's clinic!
Snow did survive for more crazy episodes like
when he found an unlimited supply of chocolate and we had visit the doctor again.
Believe me, don't ever give a dog chocolate because you think it's a yummy treat.
During his first visit to the Library as a puppy,
he wiggled out of my arms, fell to the floor and lost consciousness.
Yes, we did run to the doctor's that time, too.
Snow thinks he's boss around here and Tipper lets him even though he is the Alpha dog.
(I know all about this stuff--I watch the TV show, The Dog Whisperer,
and, no, I am not the pack leader.)
When I invite my buddies to go for a ride,
Snow will tell Tipper he can't go and Tipper gets excited, dances and wags his tail
because he loves to go for rides,
but he won't move to the car ...so, I have to carry him while Snow leads the way.
