How can we make Snoop handsome?

You might ask, who is Snoop? Good question. Snoop is our dog. We have had him for less than a year. He is very lucky to be alive for two reasons. One, sometimes we forget to feed him. Two, I could fill a blog full of naughty things Snoop has done over the months he has been with us. One particularly annoying thing he does is shoot out the door almost every time we try to leave the house with our army of kids. He's like a bullet. He goes straight to our neighbors house and stares into their big, glass front door...at two barking schnauzers. He drives them and my neighbor crazy. He just stands and stares, never moves a muscle until he's ready to harass the next neighbor. Then he's off. Each time I swear I am giving him away.

Snoop was a reject. No one wanted him (you will soon find out all of our pets are rejects!) We took our beloved, calm golden retriever to the vet to put him down. Very sad and emotional as you might expect. We left with Snoop.

One redeeming quality Snoop has is he will entertain my three year old, which actually means he becomes a tackling dummy. He lets #3 tackle him over and over with only a small amount of growling. #3 loves Snoop. "They are buddies." After a big football game today, #3 wanted to make Snoop handsome. He has deemed today his birthday and would like to make him handsome.

We are still discussing how this might happen. Maybe we will have the it's what's on the inside that matters talk, and after the tackles Snoop has survived, he looks like Prince Charming on the inside!
