Pacifiers, not just for babies anymore

This is Victoria, a one year old Chow Chow.  Isn't she scrumptious?  She's showing off the Chow's characteristic black tongue.  Boy, she is really showing it off.  She could clean a kids head with one swipe of that thing.

Victoria's mom, Mannie (Mom of 3), was having a hard time convincing her youngest son to give up his pacifier, or as they call it his 'noonie'.  Mannie got the brilliant idea to tell her son that since Victoria is the baby in the family now maybe she needed the noonie more than he.

He promptly gave it to Victoria, and apparently relinquished all his other noonies as well, and she plays with them every day.

See, dogs aren't just for lying at our feet and cleaning up the food that falls on the ground.  They're great at helping us teach our kids some amazing lessons.

Let's hear it for Victoria!  Woof!

That is soooo cute! Victoria is beautiful! I would be scared to own a chow with kids around and she has 3. Victoria must be an angel

Love the story! Would Victoria like a tasty toddler thumb too?

Hmmmm. Can I use this technique with Little Guy? He's a thumb sucker...
