Beware the dog!

So Cute!

It all began at meal time. Who knew such a sweet, adorable puppy could turn into a tiny little monster! I mean, look at that face:

Fussy Eater

Oscar is our eight-month old Shorkie, who doesn’t like to eat from the cute little stainless steel bowl set we bought for him when he came home.

We tried placing the bowl in different locations around the kitchen, and separated the set, and tried a few other things, but Oscar just skirted around and backed away from the bowl, refusing to eat and looking forlornly at you with his big puppy-dog eyes.

Even adding treats to the bowl couldn’t entice Oscar to eat. He would take pieces out and eat off the floor instead!

So, we did a little research and experimentation, checking out different websites such as Pet Dog Owner  and Ruffle Snuffle and even asked questions on Facebook groups for Shorkie owners.

WOAH!

And that’s when we discovered the monster!

He knew when we were preparing a treat for his dinner and waiting so patiently, like the well-behaved puppy he normally is.

And then:

The crazed monster came out and even came after me, and tried to take a bite out of my toe!

My scream must have brought him to his senses and he scurred away to hide.

And now he’s back to being his cute, adorable self.

But, when that time comes around, we watch for the lurking monster within!
