FOCUS ON CHUCK!

I know my blog is all about fun and me being naughty, but this week it will be a little bit serious because last weekend something happened and I want to share it with you. My Mom has worked with Ixchel for about 14 years. She was there when I was just a baby and she still loves me now that I am all mature and well mannered. This past weekend she had an accident with her horse and she had to be flown in a helicopter to the hospital. My Mom was stressed and I was stressed not knowing if she would be ok. We received updates and then the best one came that she would be ok. Now that she is ok, I want to remind her that spending time with me is much less dangerous and even if I accidentally bit her finger while she was giving me a treat, she would not need a helicopter or a hospital. Maybe just a very small bandage. So Ixchel, pick me over that silly horse and you will be fine. 

HERE WE ARE TOGETHER AT A FANCY DINNER- HER FINGERS LOOK FINE!

Watch your fingers!

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING!

DAY ONE- SUPER CUTE!!!

Every morning when my Mom comes to get me out of my little sleeping bag, I am sure that she takes a moment to just savor the cuteness of me. Surely, she must know that these moments are special because they revolve around me! I must say that not everyone is super cute in the morning, but I am. I know you are thinking that I am slightly full of myself and that my excessive confidence is annoying, but the truth is you are just jealous because you aren’t cute first thing in the morning. Don’t despair my friends, just don’t let anyone snap your photo in the morning and no one will be the wiser. You can emerge later after your shower and whatever other little miracles you must perform to be as cute as you can be. I just have to poke my head out of my bag and I am there! Oh lucky me!

DAY TWO- STILL CUTE!!!

Overly Confident and Condescending

DRESS UP FOR THE HOLIDAY!

YEAH, YEAH, LAUGH ALL YOU WANT!
MY BISCUIT IS ON ITS WAY TO MY MOUTH RIGHT NOW!

We have another holiday approaching which means it is time to dress me up in something silly and parade me in front of the camera. I am not too proud to have my picture taken wearing silly stuff because I get biscuits every time a photo is snapped. So, you better bet that I am ready, willing and able to be stupid. I perk right up when the camera is out. Sometimes my Mom is texting or talking on the phone and I think it is camera time. False alarm and I crawl back under my blanket. I figure it is my job to entertain you all so I will sacrifice my dignity and be happy about my treats. Anyway, the fourth of July represents hot dogs, barbeque and potato chips. I know there is some bigger meaning, but I am not really interested in that. If I have to wear something silly, I don’t want to have to think too hard about the countries’ independence. I am dependent on the above- mentioned food and that is that! Enjoy your holiday and whatever it represents to you. You might want to wear something silly and see if you get some snacks for your efforts.

NOW TAKING APPLICATIONS

HEY NANNY, MY DISH IS EMPTY!

This past weekend, my parents decided to leave us for the evening. I know that we had a bigger breakfast than normal so they were obviously expecting their abandonment to last well into the night. As it was, we didn’t get dinner until 10:30 and I was famished. This experience leads me to believe that I might need a Nanny. I am now accepting applications for this position. I think it is appropriate for me to have someone to dote on me when my parents are unavailable or just too busy to meet my most immediate needs and desires. These are some of the questions that will be asked in the interview so write them down. This way you will be prepared for the Chihuahua inquisition.
How do you feel about ham?
Do you think that ham is its own food group?
Would you distribute ham to all of the dogs in my house or would you just give it to me?
Would you run to the grocery store if the ham stash were getting low?
All applicants will be required to audition for me which will basically test your ability to get the food in the dish quickly and efficiently with no spills. (Hint, you should always feed me first!)
You will also have to pass a ham drug test. If large amounts of ham are found in your system, you will be disqualified from applying. This would suggest that you like ham too much and can’t be trusted to give it to me. I know there will be hundreds of interested applicants, but don’t be discouraged. You could be the right fit!

Potential Employer- YIKES!

IT IS STILL EMPTY, YOU ARE FIRED!!!!

WHO IS THE BARKER IN THE WINDOW?

A few blogs ago, I told you how we were relocated in our house. Well we are now by a window and I was unaware that summer protocol includes putting a fan in the window. The one right by me...where I am trying to sleep....under my blanket. Now I am constantly concerned with what might be outside of the window. It could be a bunny or a mouse or a lady bug or a Chihuahua kidnapper. Since I am not sure which thing is out there, I just keep barking to let whatever it is know that I am inside the window and I am fierce. The big dogs are total slackers and sleep through my entire barking bonanza! My little barker is even getting tired. I am thinking that the fan should go in a less populated area where I don't have to even know it is there. Out of sight, no more barking. Isn't that how the saying goes?

CHUCK

FAN of barking

I STOPPED BARKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET MY PICTURE TAKEN.
THEN, BACK TO WORK FOR ME!

IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK…..IT COULD BE CHUCK

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? 

Ha Ha Ha, very funny. My Mom came up with that title and isn’t she the creative comedian? I personally was not in favor of doing this particular blog. You see I am the one everyone was laughing at and I didn’t find it funny at all. When I visited my Mom’s work, some of the nurses thought it would be fun to have me try on the beak muzzle. First of all, I shouldn’t have to wear a muzzle. I only bite people that I don’t know very well. Second, the whole beak thing is ridiculous for a dignified Chihuahua like me. I should have a bling muzzle or a ham muzzle. That would be cute. Do me a favor and do not laugh at my picture. I am trusting you to do the right thing here!

YOU BETTER NOT LAUGH AT ME, I WILL BITE YOU.....
ONCE I GET THIS STUPID THING OFF!

Not funny!

CHICKS DIG ME....

KRISTI LOOOOOVES ME!

When I visited my Mom’s work, I got all kinds of smooches and lots of love from the girls. I got to visit Becky’s office and got some lovin’ there. I also moved on to the girls in the back and got some love stuff there too. I think that I am kind of a flirt and that the girls love me. I think some of the guys love me to, but I won’t flirt with them if you know what I mean. Be sure to love on your dog and give them lots of smooches. Don’t be jealous if they flirt with the girls. They still love you the most!
