Ziggy
FAVORITES

TOY: anything his brothers have

TREAT: didn't used to be as much of a "treat" lover as his older brother, but now that he's a heavy hitter, ANYTHING

ACTIVITIES: admiring his reflection, barking non-stop when he's left alone (i.e., when he sister would take Nigel on a walk...after him!), listening to his mommy sing, conning his mommy into thinking he's a picky pooper which he is not (he just wants more time outdoors), laying on Nigel's blanket, etc.

PLACES TO "GO": in front of the woman's house in Willowbrook that hated him (she made Mom pick up his doo doo), basically anyplace he's not supposed to...as long as there's an audience!

Ziggermeister, the one and only original miniature schnauzer of the Thomas household, is currently going through what can only be called "the middle child syndrome".  In one fell swoop, he went from being the baby of the family to being...the middle boy.  This has done untold harm to him.  However, he's a tough little guy.  [Well, perhaps not so little anymore as he tips the scales at 27 pounds (too many cookies, Mommy!!).] After years of grabbing ahold of Nigel, sinking his teeth into Nigel's fat rolls, and shaking his head violently to and fro (the same way he shakes his leash I might add), Ziggy has gotten a taste of his own medicine as Rocko now does the same to him.  This is, however, a small price to pay as he once again has a playmate (Nigel's too old and too disinterested to play).  Further, this new role of his has inspired him to find his own independence - he can sleep on his own now, prefers to "rest" away from the crowds, etc.  Mr. Ziggmeister will survive; of this, I'm sure.  After all, it doesn't matter how much of the love he feels he now gets.  No one could love him as much as he loves himself when he looks at his reflection!!
