details

It could just be a dog thing, but I figure it's more likely just a Zacchaeus thing.

Some dogs might grab that chicken bone and take cover under the table.

Some dogs might grab that forbidden candy bar and hide behind the couch.

Not my guy. No way. He's got some serious (and colorful), albeit secret, food preferences.

Like crayons.
And ear plugs.
And ponytail holders. Especially the small, fuzzy ones.

How do I know of these hugger-mugger eating habits?
Well, I help scoop the poop... and it's often of the rainbow variety.
'Nough said.

This evening, Blessing #2 was drawing the family room. You'll see that, in addition to her lovely portrait of B#1 cradling B#6, she's also sketched the background details... the couch, the pillows, the quilt, the pictures, the newspaper ads, the flip-flops, the dog.

"Super!" I tell her. "Impressive!" "Excellent job!"

"Yeah," she says. And then, matter-of-factly adding, "Zacchie was even licking himself while I was drawing him."

"Oh?" I ask to see the sketch again, this time focusing more attention on the dog.

Now, isn't that a remarkable example of B#2's superb attention to details! (And just lovely that Zacchaeus held his pose long enough for her to accurately capture the moment.)
