A month ago a Dorkkie came into my life. My friend Sharon asked me to babysit her dog while the family went on vacation. Snickers walked in. He used pee pads but also liked to walk outside. Every time he barked I got up from my seat. I would grab his leash. Did I tell you I've only dog sat for a combined 15 days, plus this year w/OTTO.

Im a novice with dogs.

Sharon came home from vacation and her other dog got kennel cough. So Snickers stayed two more weeks.

Then she texted one night-want to keep him?

He cries when I leave and bordering on hysterical joy when I come through the door. I've never owned an animal before. it's all new and confusing. Why are you barking? Food? Water? Bathroom? That's all I know-what else could it be?

He comes into every room and stands outside the bathtub as I shower. Snick is waiting to lick me. But using moisturizer is not healthy for the dog to lick--so everyday I tell him no lick Snick .
