Michigan Monza update

["Lyn L. Nelson" <lnelson@mail.portup.com>]

Hi all,

Monza's beginning to understand how important food is.....the little
nit-picky eater has learned to put a paw in the plate to keep it from
sliding.  I must say the little guy does chew his food, and WOW am I happy
about that.  Summer's finally arriving here and we have actual leaves on the
trees.  Great.....just what Monza needs as garnish to his meal of pinecones,
acorns, sticks, seedlings and weeds.

I forgot to tell you the earring story.  My mom frequents my house
mid-afternoon every day for a Monza visit & walk.  Yes, I tear myself away
from him (literally!) to work during the day.  So the other day she did her
usual pick him up, sing and dance routine (don't ask - it's embarrassing)
and he casually pulled her earring off with his cute little FANGS.  Mom -
being the mother that she is - screamed, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT
OUT!!!"  To my utter amazement, Mom said he spewed the thing out with force.
Guess you can add **earring alert** to the **screendoor warning** that I
sent out a few days ago.  And I can add, "spit" to "sit" as his two known
commands - ha!

Any other little tidbit warnings out there that someone would like to share
to put us all on guard?
