Look at His Face

Meet Higgins and Matsui. Higgins is my nephew, named after the butler on Magnum P.I. Matsui is his next-door neighbor, named after some guy on the Yankees baseball team.

Matsui is a little camera shy because he's a baby. He's only a few months old so he's got those little velvety paws that are so cute! I'm actually not a big fan of pugs, but I am girly enough to like pretty much any baby animal. Higgins looks like he's royalty because he's an English bulldog. He gets this attitude of "I'm Magnificent" every time you take his picture. Actually come to think of it, he always has that attitude. But he's great fun. I mean really, look at that grin!

I've decided that along with my Texas shaped waffle maker, I'd like a puppy. No, I don't have a yard. He'd have to stay with someone else and I'd want visitation rights. I'd want to take him for walks and just enjoy nature with him. My sister thinks I should get one as a fashion accessory. Uh, no. I want a dog I can roll around with and play fetch with and get completely drenched in water trying to give him a bath in a bathtub. No tea-cup dogs for this girl. However, I also draw the line at him being so large that it takes every bit of my weight to hold him back. Higgins, for example, is like 68 pounds or something like that. Leanne doesn't walk him, he walks her. I drive a mid-size car, I want a mid-size dog.
