It's payback time

For years, Gordie the pug has ruled the roost and set the tone for the household.

When he arrived on the scene, he began a systematic effort to rid the place of any feline presence. As a result, our black cat Cleo had to live in the furnace room for while. Fortunately, we found her a good home devoid of menacing pugs.

Even though Hannah grew to be five times his size, Gordie never backed down from a good bone standoff. Not once. I got in the middle once or twice and I have the scars to prove it. Gordie did the biting with his twisted little pug teeth.

He barked at all passersby and snapped at the mailman. He sucked Ming's ears so hard that when he went for dental surgery, the vet had to pluck out the hairs from between his teeth.

Now it's payback time.

There's a new sheriff in town and his name is Finnigan. The puppy will not leave Gordie alone and so the poor little guy spends most of the day hiding behind my chair. I feel bad, but I'm confident that Gordie will rally and put the little bugger in his place once and for all.
