How Can Something So Cute Be So Gross....?

Casper came to us by my choice, not Bills. He was so cute and adorable - all white and fluffy - I just had to take him home. I bought him for Karissa's birthday but I completely admit that he was really for me - it was just a guise to get him. I always wanted a cute little Bichon Friese lap dog. Bill likes big dogs and doesn't think Casper qualifies as a member of the species. I love the little guy - he is so good with all the kids and he has a special "gift" that allows children who are scared of animals to relax and enjoy him. He is a great pet......with one DISGUSTING exception. He eats his own crap....that's right - his own CRAP!!! Not just every now and then, not just once a day....it is his staple diet. His breath is atrocious and let's just say that he is a "messy eater" - just use your imagination.....The worst is when he eats it and then comes inside and throws it up.....lovely. He did it again this afternoon. It's typically at that time that Bill will "gently" remind me that he didn't want a dog in the first place. I honestly dry-heave and can barely stand it! It does have it's positives, I suppose - we never have to clean the yard and his food bill is quite low......eeeewwwww!
Bill calls him a "dumb little poop-eater" which is an accurate term, I guess. He is so cute but sometimes I could just........never mind, I don't want any calls from PETA!
