RITE OF PASSAGE

Many of you know that any new Doctors in the Veterinary Specialty Center are required to be interviewed by me. Yes, you might not know this little secret, but I am the one who chooses these fine Doctors to make sure they fit in with our already excellent staff! I ask them many questions……

• If I have an emergency situation, are you available exclusively for me?

•    Just hypothetically, if I were to eat something that I am not supposed to eat like a rock or something, are you able to fix me up?
•   What if I ingested too much food in one sitting, do you have something available that would make my tummy feel better?
•    If I were to run around like a crazy idiot and I got a sore leg because of it, do you have some magic treatment that will make my legs really strong for a Chihuahua?
•    If I were depressed, would you run to the store to buy me some ham?

 These are just a few of the questions on my list and each Doctor must answer those questions in a manner that pleases me and makes me confident of their ability to take care of me.

I am pleased to announce that Colorado Canine Orthopedics and Rehab has added two Doctors to our staff based on my recommendations. The cool thing is there are two of them with the same last name and they both really like me. The best part of their initiation process was the photo shoot! They got to get their picture taken with ME. This is the pinnacle for all of the Doctors in our building and it is an experience that they will never forget! Please welcome Dr. Mr and Mrs. DeTora. They come highly recommended by me!

I AM FOR SURE GETTING SOME HAM FROM THESE TWO!!!!

JAIL BREAK?

The other day when I was sleeping, I had a dream about my big break out, my big escape from the pen, my launch to freedom and then I woke up. There was a key on the floor right next to my pen. Could it be the key to my freedom? If I could just reach it, I bet I could use it to escape from my confinement with the girls or should I say my torment from the girls? I get stepped on and pushed and shoved with their tiny little feet and tiny little claws that dig right in since I don’t have much fur you know. I have to share water with them and my blanket. I think that they should have their own pen and I could be in solitary confinement. I would be ok with that but I try to think of what I would do if I could reach the key and escape…… Hmmmmmm 

I could run around like a crazy dog, annoying the big dogs by sniffing their under parts. I could run through the big yard like a crazed Chihuahua looking for stuff to chase. I could jump on all of the furniture until I found the place that I like the best and then pee on it. This all sounds pretty fun, but if I contemplate this further I realize that I would probably get eaten by one of the big dogs if I annoy them too much. I would probably be smaller than anything I might find to chase and I might break a leg or something if I jump on the furniture. I guess my little pen is the safest place for me to be and my pen mates aren’t that bad right? Maybe I could give one of them the key and say “here you go… have a good time!”

WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO?

Some of you may remember this lovely picture of me and my friend Becky sharing some love and a cup of coffee. Well after last week’s blog, I sent my friend Becky an e-mail requesting the opportunity to try out my rooster skills at her house. I asked if she needed my resume as I was applying for a job of sorts. Here is the response that I received.

Thank you for your inquiry.  We are not taking applications at this time. As you can see, I copied this directly from her e-mail response. My feelings are a little bit hurt right now and my little ego has been squished like a bug. We are friends right? Don’t friends give their friends a job if they ask for one? I am not asking to balance her checkbook, repair vehicles or clean her kitchen (unless there is food on the floor, then I might be interested in that job too) I simply want a little bit of support in my new career endeavor. I think that Becky should reconsider her cold professional response to this little Chihuahua friend of hers. Many of you know her and you could certainly contact her on my behalf. Remind her of all of the good times that we have shared. Like the time I peed in her office right after she took me outside. That was fun right? Then there was the time that I escaped from my Mom and ran right to Becky’s office knowing there was some love there waiting for me. Not feeling much love right now I can tell you that. If I were in her office right now I might do something more elaborate than just peeing. Use your imagination…..

SO THERE!

HERE COMES THE ROOSTER...

I have been thinking lately that I need to have another job besides my blog writing. If you have followed my blogs for long enough you will remember that I have frequently had some ideas about which jobs I might like. Unfortunately, most jobs get in the way of my most important job of sleeping and that is unacceptable. I have thought of an alternative job that has a very specific time frame and once completed the job is done for the day. I would like to have a rooster job. First thing in the morning, I get up and make some noise and go back to sleep. This is something that I kind of already do. This is a dream job for me and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. So you are asking yourself if I can actually make the real rooster noise and I am wondering why you would think such a stupid question. I can make the Chuck rooster noise which sounds a little bit like a howl, but if I add a doodle doo bark at the end, I think I can make it work. I am eager to get started on my new career and will be launching it tomorrow morning.  If you hear something other than a rooster tomorrow, you will know it is me with your morning wake up call! Oh wait, do I need to get rid of the real rooster in order to steal his job? I can’t have him trying to out-do me on the morning noise creation. Maybe I can send him to a farm far away where there are no Chihuahuas within a 50 mile radius (in case other Chihuahuas are interested in this career path as well) This is a good plan and no one even needs to know that a change has taken place.
