The Nugget and the Tater Tot
No, folks, I’m not talking about a new menu at your favorite fast food joint…
Warning: There is a whooolllee lotta cute in this post.
On Sunday, I took them over to play with Hannah and my amazing 21 month old niece, Alexis (more commonly referred to as The Nugget). Rex has met Hannah and The Nugget on a number of occasions, but of course, this was the first encounter with the Tater Tot himself, young Rudy. It seemed that Nugget liked the idea of having a puppy at perfect patting height for her. In fact, when Rudy stood up on his back legs, they were the same height. CUTE.
Nugget started playing a game with the cat’s “fishing” toy (stuffed mouse on a string and a stick) whereby she would fish for little Rudy. He ate it right up.
Obviously Rex is not so concerned with the fishing.
Nugget is good at trying to let the puppies outside too, so she tried to take all three out. She is not so good at turning the knob all the way and opening the door.
“Hey, Nugget, will you pet Rudy?”
“Woo-dee!” she says.
“Nugget, pet Rex too.”
“Wex!”
“Okay, now everybody say CHEESE!”
“CHEEESE!”
Apparently, pairing a 5 month old puppy with a 21 month old can wear a puppy out. He slept the whole way home.
