My Dog, Pippen








My dog Pippen deserves a post. There's a lot to say about him.

First, My dog Pippen has a ton of nicknames. We call him

Pippens
Chickens
Trickens
Frickens
Rickens
The Baby
Richard Parker
Jack Dogger
Jessica

Pippen will eat anything. Once, when he was in pain, and I was too lazy to go downstairs and crush up his tylenol and mix it up into his food, I discovered that I didn't have to do all that. Pippen will gladly eat straight non-chewable tylenol like it's candy. He licked the floor when he was done so that he could get all the tylenol that fell out of his mouth while he was chewing. He also loves chewable antacids (who doesn't, though) and will come running when he hears the shake of the container. We give him one now and then because it's so funny.

He also eats frozen strawberries, bananas, and whole cucumbers. Anything.

CC and I had a conversation the other day on how much money we would sell Pippen for. I admitted that I would sell Pippen only to a farm with a good family where he would be happy, for 50,000. CC was much cheaper, he said he would sell him for 10.

Pippen's best feature is his Lip Curtain. When he thinks something is fun, he tucks it in so he looks like he's trying to smile. When he eats, it puffs out, like this:
