movin' on

I have decided to move everything over to Minnie's blog. It is now called A Tale of Two Chihuahuas. So check it out!

Good Friday!

I am sooo happy it's Friday.

I seriously need to weekend to recharge.

Terrific Tuesday

It's crazy at work so I won't be posting much this week.

Crazy Day

Over and Out

Have a great weekend!

RIP

Martha Stewart's Chow - PawPaw recently passed away. He was 12 years old. "Paw Paw was a spectacular chow and an even more spectacular dog. He was always my loyal companion, displaying the most agreeable temperament."
So sad.

Cat Condo

I love that pet furniture is much more stylish than ever. I would totally have something like this in my house. Now if they can get the price more manageable.

Monday

Nothing good to write about today so you get a happy little pug photo.

Heading Out

I'll be away from my computer for a couple of days.

Check back on Monday.

Lawn art

I love love love summer! I love sitting outside reading a book while my pups play in the grass. I can't wait to start planting my flowers and cleaning up my little patio. Maybe a topiary would be a nice addition to the yard....

Chihuahua Races

I had no idea that something like this existed until today. Petco sponsors the event. So cool! Just the other day I was chasing both my chis across the street because they got out. And they are FAST! Luckily some junior high girls were close by and picked up Minnie for me - Arlo was scared to death that he ran right back home and was thankful to go back in the house.

OMG

Dog with 5 legs....

Puppy Mills part 2

Ok - I guess it is Oprah who has a show on Puppy Mills today. Lisa Ling went undercover to investigate. It makes me sick to think anyone could treat any animal in this way. And don't think that they don't exsist in Iowa because they do. Channel 13 just recently did a report about Petland and it's questionable practices. Thank you Sonya Heitshusen!

ASPCA has an article about it and is also thanking Oprah:

Thousands of puppy mills exist all over the United States, with particularly high concentrations in Missouri and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The numbers also appear to be increasing in other areas, including upstate New York, Ohio and Oklahoma. Dogs rescued from puppy mills have been documented to exhibit a wide array of veterinary and behavioral problems, including severe malnutrition, rotting teeth and severe periodontal disease, extreme matting of fur sometimes leading to skin lesions, mange, flea, tick, and parasite infestations, and serious foot and leg injuries from living an entire life on wire mesh flooring. Female dogs in puppy mills are typically bred at every opportunity until they are physically spent and can no longer reproduce. Puppy mill dogs live out their entire lives in tiny enclosures, never having a chance to get out of their cages for exercise or socialization. Ling’s undercover investigation shows the horrors that these dogs must endure, day in and day out.

Raising awareness is one of the most important ways to effect change for puppy mill dogs.

Chi Art

See I'm not the only one to have chihuahua art in their house. This room I found at Apartment Therapy. If you notice there is actually a chi sleeping on the house.

Prime Time

I swear my dogs watch TV. They totally react to the barking they might hear on the Dog Whisperer or any other show with animals. Minnie is the worst, she will actually run to the TV and look right up at it. And their ears will totally perk up at certain things that they see and hear.

The fun art work is located here. I'm sure to use more of the images in the future.

Pet Peeves

1. Websites that take FOREVER to load
2. Websites that don't have a search option

I'm not going to promote a site if I can't find things on it later.

Up and Away

The end result of my chihuahua art. Isn't it pretty? The colors look awesome in my pop art room. Here's a couple more shots to give you a better view of the room.
