Chong!

Winter 2008115, originally uploaded by James Hemsley.

Grandma and Grandpa have a little pug named Chong, and Norah and he were best buds. Norah would feed Chong his food one nibble at a time, AND moisten it in his water first, so it would taste better! He didn't mind!

She also would climb into his bed when he was napping. He is such a mellow dog, that he would just sit there and watch her!

But, Chong benefited from the relationship too. He would loiter near Norah whenever she was eating, and eat her fallen food. He also licked the food off her hands and face after every meal (much to Mama's dismay!).

Norah woke up every morning and the first thing she said was: Chong!!!!!! Also, her first instance of putting two words together for a mini-sentence was: "Hi Chong!"
