[Tiger's Mom]

YES, they are definitely high maintenance only because you want it to be and I won't have it any other way . . .

Before I got Tiger, I had a criteria on what I need from a dog: NON-shedder, really cute and small, indoor dog, a lapdog, and many, many more. Tiger absolutely fit my criteria to a T so I don't mind all the work. No one needs to bathe them once a week or even less, but I do just because I want him to smell soooo good all the time next to me, especially since he sleeps with me. No one needs to spend too much time preparing for their meals, but I do as I enjoy the look in his face whenever I hand him a "gourmet" plate of delectable kibbles, cottage cheese, crumbled Innova health bar, beef liver, mangoes etc. No one needs to brush their hair daily as it can be cut really short, but I want the long, sliky hair (he still does not have it but then he's a puppy and am working on it ) that makes them so irresistably adorable. No one needs to wipe their paws and intimate parts everytime they relieve themselves, but I do because again I want him to be very clean. No one needs to lay out pee pads as they can definitely be trained to go and do their thing outdoors, but I do as I can be pretty lazy and don't feel like taking him out because he'll get dirty or wet from the rain. No one needs to feed the best food there is out there, but I do just because I want to pamper him . . . there are always choices to make life easier for us , but we do what we do because we want to.
