The Cutest Puppy (Besides Me)

Woobie Bed before it was destroyed.
Chimmie has started doing the cutest thing in the mornings.  Of course the first order of business is to go outside and take care of business.  Then he eats his bowl of food so fast you would think Linda forgot to feed him for the last 3 days.  After the coffee is cooked, Linda sits on the love seat with a book or her laptop.  This is where Chimmie is really adorable.  He goes and gets his woobie bed from his den and drags it to the couch.  (For those new readers, woobie bed used to be a giant fluff-filled donut shaped dog bed that was mine.  Chim took it over the second he came to live here and proceeded to chew a hole in it.  Everyday, Linda would throw away all the stuffing he would strew on the carpet until it was totally empty.  Now, he sucks it like a pacifier to nurse himself to sleep.)  He puts woobie in her lap and lays on part of it while he sucks on the fur and makes these little puppy whines.  For all his faults, Chimmie is probably the sweetest, most loving and affectionate dog on the planet.  If you let him, he would sit on your lap giving you kisses for hours.  When he is allowed in The Big Bed, he even has to body slams Linda to get as close as possible. Paul Walker is teaching him how to jog on the leash.  Once Linda can get him to run 1-mile a day besides our together walks, we both think that will calm him down and then he will be nearly as hyper.
