CHI – WHAT?

I AM THE CHI-BUNNY!

When Lacey first came to Colorado Canine Orthopedics, she looked like a little bunny with white soft bunny fur. Everyone called her the Chi-Bunny. I think it is only fitting that she gets to be the Easter Bunny this year. She doesn’t hop very well and I am pretty sure if there were hidden Easter eggs, she would pee on them, but let’s just ignore that right now. If she filled out an application to be the Easter Bunny, there is not a chance she would get the job, but since this is my blog, I am letting Lacey be the Easter Bunny this year. I will not share any of my jelly beans with her and I certainly won’t let her get close to my Easter ham. She is only a symbol of the day with no real power over the holiday or the food involved. Please enjoy the Chi-Bunny and know that this is a one day gig for her so don’t get too used to seeing her on this blog!

I AM THE CHICKEN- REALLY?

LUCKY ME...

I have decided to change my heritage. With the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, I have been listening to all of the hoopla and festive plans and it sounds like Irish people are very happy. Since you don’t hear “The luck of the Mexican,” I think it is fair to say that I want to be Irish. “The luck of the Irish” is a well known phrase so it must mean something. Don’t get me wrong, when Cinco De Mayo comes around, I will probably switch back, but for now I want to get some of that Irish luck stuff. I think for me it would mean being lucky by getting extra ham or being lucky by having a delivery of food come to my house addressed to me. These would be some good reasons for me to become Irish. My Dad already roots for Notre Dame so I should become luckier with my sports skills right? I like green. Grass is green, lettuce is green, green beans are green, what’s not to like? I would even try some green beer if I could be lucky enough to steal some from some Irish person distracted by the party they are attending. These are good plans. If my luck holds out, I might share some with you, but probably not.

I AM FEELING A WEE BIT LUCKY TOO!

THIS IS A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT......

This is a public service announcement from ME…..

This is the weekend that we all have to turn our internal and external clocks to another time. Why you ask? I am just the announcer not the person who made up this ridiculous rule. Because of this weird and unjustified rule, I will lose an hour of my precious sleep time on Sunday. Yes, you heard right: a whole hour. This is devastating to me since that will put me at about 22 hours of sleep instead of my usual 23. I will be a mess for about a week wondering if it is time for breakfast when it is still dark or dinner when the sun is still hanging out in the sky. I will be unable to know when to bark for my scheduled barks that will now be at a different time. I am a dog on a schedule. If you mess with my schedule, you are asking for some bad behavior and an overall snarky attitude. Maybe you can change your clock, but I shouldn’t have to change mine. This is just a suggestion, but maybe we could have Chuck time. It would never change. It would always be time for a meal. Breakfast or dinner, you choose. That is what I am setting my clock to. I encourage you to do the same!

SIZE REALLY DOES MATTER!

SEE THIS TOY IS REALLY BIG....

I know that you think that I am just a little dog who really doesn’t know much, but I am way smarter than I look. Take for instance my knowledge of fine foods. I am a small furry encyclopedia of food information. I know more about food than most, but I refuse to share my knowledge as I prefer to keep my food to myself. I might not be so great at math, but I am able to figure out how many treats can fit in my treat ball. That way I know when one of those before mentioned treats is missing which means that one of my little friends was following me around hoping that I would miss one. Well it happens sometimes and I am not happy about it. I do also know that size is important. When it comes to my toys, there are some that are the perfect size for me and others that are almost bigger than I am. Don’t get me wrong, I will play with just about any toy, but when I am carrying it in my mouth and running around like an idiot, the big toys can be a bit cumbersome for my fast little self. The smaller- my size toys are better for me to carry and keep to myself. I just sometimes like the challenge of the big toys. Do you do this in your life too? Do you have aspirations of having bigger and better when the small stuff might be a better fit for you? I’m just asking. You don’t even have to answer. No judgments here…..(unless you steal the treats from my ball, then all bets are off)

Smaller and Smarter

THIS TOY IS MORE MY SIZE!

CHIHUAHUA ACCESSORIES

THIS CHIHUAHUA AROUND MY NECK IS MUCH SMALLER THAN ME!

My Mom got a little Chihuahua necklace for her birthday and I am so honored. I didn’t know that I gave my permission to have jewelry made in my image, but I guess it is kind of cool that someone would want to hang me around their neck. There could be many worse things to have on a necklace….like a creepy spider or a Rhinoceros or maybe even an Aardvark or something. Everyone should want a little reminder of me wherever they go. Maybe they can start making rings and earrings with my cute little face on them. I will be the fashion statement in the jewelry industry with my jewelry selling more than all the famous brands. I can see it now. You would buy my stuff wouldn’t you? You would wear the little me every day right? I knew I could count on you. My fans have the finest taste in jewelry and dogs!

LETS DO LUNCH

My Dad just got a new lunch box and wow is it big. There is enough room for lots of stuff like ham sandwiches, potato chips and even a six pack of beer. I don’t think he is allowed to bring beer to work, but who knows? Beer can be a productive part of the work force or so I’ve heard. So anyway, this lunch box could even fit ME inside! Just think, if I could sneak in there, I could go for a little ride and snack along the way. Wouldn’t my Dad be surprised if he got to work and all of his food was gone? I guess he would probably know it was me since I would be all by myself inside the giant lunch box. Maybe I should just get my very own lunch box and fill it with all of my favorite things. I could just hang out inside my lunch box all day long. I wonder if my blanket would fit in there too. Never mind, I don’t want to waste any of my storage space that could be used for food. This blog is a clear reminder of how my little brain works and how many creative things I can come up with to get me closer to food!

LOVE ME TENDER

When I hear the song Love Me Tender it makes me think of Chicken Tenders! Yum! With Valentine’s Day on its way, you may be thinking about a different kind of love. I really don’t care too much about all of the mushy gushy stuff that goes with Valentines Day. I am thinking more about gift suggestions for that certain special Chihuahua in your life. That not to be mentioned by name Chihuahua would like to give you a little list and let me just say, you won’t be going to a jewelry store and the only kind of flowers that will work are the ones that are made out of potato chips! Yum! This gift list cannot include chocolate cause I hear it is bad for me, I mean bad for your special Chihuahua. So instead you could get a heart shaped ham or those love me chicken tenders mentioned earlier. It is also a nice little surprise to get a little gift basket with a variety of yummies that can be savored and enjoyed for an entire week. Keep in mind these are just suggestions. I am sure that I will love any gift that you get for me since it means that you love me and if you get me a gift, just know that I will then love you too!!!
