aside

I don't know if you've noticed, but Tiny is a bit of a focus in our lives. He's small but big, you know?  A big presence.  It's not just his magic personality and mightily squeezable cuteness that leads to this. No. It's actually that he makes a lot of noise, is generally a whirlwind of semi-destructive activity, and has a disproportionate level of needs and demands in relation to his size.  He's a toddler.  A surefire means for focusing your attention, to be sure.

This is how Dot the Dog feels about it all.

That is one doleful dog.
