Shorty

Shorty is around 15 years old. She is actually my Mom's dog. I have been taking care of her and my Mom's cat Tigger for a year and a half now. Shorty is going blind and death and even lost some teeth, but still is hyper and playful like a puppy. In fact, most people think she is a puppy because she's so small. We have a few nicknames for this little cutie: Short Stuff, Short Cakes, Shorty Cakes, Grandma, Phyllis Diller, and Little Ewok. She really LOVES people food and cat food... and other cat things that is too gross to mention. I have to keep a close I on this one, or my cats will have no food to eat. Though she likes to maintain the litter box, I try to keep her out of that as well. YUK! Short Cakes absolutely loves to sleep in the cat beds, which seem to be the perfect size for her. She also, loves to go for drives. I have to sit her in my arms so she can see. Short Stuff also enjoys long walks... though she is a bit slow from all the sniffing. I took her to the beach for the first time a year ago. She absolutely loved it... even the cold water. I plan on taking her again when it warms up. Shorty is an absolute doll that begs maybe a tad too much, but we still give in.
