		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi.  Isn't my face beautiful after I finally got those puffy eyes fixed.  Mom is relieved and thinks I look WAY better.
I was off to the vet on the day before my One Year Old birthday, some birthday present, but I came home that night. And I was just fine.  
Well I didn't eat too much for a week, but now I am right back to normal. I can see better (don't have to look around those red bumps) and I can get my Mom's shoelaces and search in her pockets better.  That's a good thing.  Happy Spring Everybody.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi eberybody ( can't spell too good today, because my Mom is exhausted from her day of dogs, dogs and more dogs- and she is doing the typing for me.   She was all stressed out because I went to get my eyes fixed today and also got spayded....  And to top it all off I had two baby teeth out (they couldn't fall out on their own, right)... Mom was really worried, becuase I am so little... and she has had bad luck spaying dogs in the past.  So far so good with me. I am just home and I had a little supper and a drink of water.  Now it's time for me to call it a night and cuddle into my snuggley bed.  And Mom can go collapse.   Hope you all had a nice Easter....  Tomorrow is my birthday.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It wasn't all that snowy today, but it was raining and cold and too bad to go outside.  We all can't wait for Spring, we are getting really sick of being stuck inside a lot.  I was trying to play with this horsie, but it wouldn't play back.  
Mom is running out of ways to keep me occupied... Now she just gave me a little fish nylabone.... yeah, this is a lot of fun.  She said this was my special toy, since the Frenchies would swallow it whole.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well it IS a blizzard around here. It snowed and the wind howled all night. I got to go to sleep in my crate with two bedspreads covering the crate and a coat over the front. Mom was worried that the power would go off during the night and we would all freeze... Luckily we are all ok. 
The snow was so deep this morning that we couldn't even get the doors open to go outside.  It was so deep that she was going to take photos, but I can't go outside anyway, so there is no point.
Mom spent the morning shoveling, (we need a snowblower Mom) and then we all ran out and did what we had to and then ran back in REALLY fast.
Not nice around here.  We all hate snow.  Think we better move.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hurrah, my picture is on, so you can all see my new favorite toy. Mom seems to get very upset at me, but I love to tug that huge rug all over the kitchen when I have to work off some steam.
I am kind of tired today because Robin and I went out to an antique store and I got to see all the good stuff. Then we took a walk together through a cute little tourist town in Rhode Island. We could do that today, because it was 50 degrees and beautiful outside (for about an hour), but it was better than nothing. Tomorrow it's back to dragging around the rug. 
Thanks Dogster to fixing the photo glitch.]]></content:encoded>

Mario says we get presents today, but I didn't get nothing yet, so he could be fooling me. All I got to do so far is dip my little tiny feet in the snow that's outside this morning. Mom made me come in right away....]]></content:encoded>

This is a picture of my Dad holding me.  Too bad he is wrinkling up my new Christmas sweater.  That's why I am giving him the eye... Better not wrinkle my clothes.  
I have been having lots of fun today, playing outside with Mario and Robin, my two Frenchie buddies.  Mom says pretty soon it will be way to cold for me to go outside. Maybe if I run really fast outside I can keep warm. We will see...]]></content:encoded>

La La is very happy that she is not going to be a freezing chihuahua now.  And we are all VERY happy that we have water now and don't have to lug buckets from the pond.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well so now we have groups of people walking through the house, measuring ceilings, and poking walls.  Because I am a Chihuahua, I have to let EVERYONE know that there is someone unusual lurking around the house.  Mom says she is going to have to board me somewhere when they put on a roof, because I will have a barking stroke.  I don't think so, that is my JOB..... even if I am the only that thinks it should be my job.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning at 3 am we were all snoozing peacefully, Mario in the kitchen and me in my bed in the living room, when we heard a GIANT crash.  My Mom jumped up and I could see her switching on the lights outside to see if a tree fell on the house, and then going upstairs and opening all the doors.  The CEILING fell down in the small upstairs bedroom.  It was all over the floor and there was plaster lying in big chunks on top of my Mom's French Bulldog figurine collection.  I could hear her say "Well, that's something you don't see every day".. Then she shut off the light and I could hear her laughing. She says all she could do was laugh, because it was just one more problem on top of a pile of problems.  None of the Frenchie figurines got broken, and none of us dogs even made a peep when we heard the crash. Even I just kept sleeping and I am a noisy chihuahua.  Guess we are all pretty used to loud noises, or we don't care if the sky is falling.  Mom is still laughing.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YAR.... or Ahoy.... or how ever a pirate talks. Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day.... Thanks from Kiwi, and me for all the Pirate Flags from our Dogster friends.  I know Pippi is chuckling to herself too.
We spent the day waiting in a parking lot. At least I got to go to, so I had my lunch in the car and walked up and down the sidewalks. Poor Frenchies didn't get out too much today, they missed a beautiful day. I hope tomorrow we can all play around in the grass outside in the yard.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not too much going on around here today. Mom had to do all kinds of errands that involved her going into stores and she didn't want to leave me in the car, so I stayed home today. She was later than usual getting home this afternoon, so MY LUNCH WAS LATE....  Bad thing. I do not like my food to be late.
  This weekend we had fun. We went out and explored with one of my Frenchie friends.  We drove to a grooming place opening and I had a little bite of a hot dog. The rest went to Mr. Frenchie.
  Then we went to a giant field auction and I got to walk all up and down the rows.  We looked at all kinds of auction stuff, and I jumped over the rows of dishes and books. Had a pretty good time. I still get nervous when people reach down to pat me, but I am doing pretty good. After all Mom, I am still a baby.  Time for bed, good night now.]]></content:encoded>

I shove my little pointy nose down in anyone's pocket, I am getting fast at it, and grab what ever paper towel or tissue is in there. This afternoon I got a paper towel from Mom and raced as fast as I could go all over the back yard. Mom says she would like to get a picture of me scooting off with a white paper as big as I am, but she is too busy picking up the thousands of pieces to go and get her camera.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am jealous, Kiwi was THE Dogster of the Day today. No one else in my family was ever that. My mom was kind of upset today because she spent the afternoon at the vet with Simon. He has something wrong with his one good eye, and now he has to go to an optomatrist too.  He only has one good one left, she hopes the vet's can fix him up.
  Meanwhile I am still running and playing and chewing on bones, and being a good girl about not barking when I am in my crate. Mom promised me a trip out somewhere today, but Simon went out instead. I hope I can go tomorrow. 
I must be getting a little bigger. My Mom used to be able to just get her thumb and forefinger around my neck, now my neck is a little too big for that. I am growing.....   she hopes not too much.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everybody. Hey, I see my little tab to make Dogster Pals has shown up on my page again. It was missing for quite a while, now maybe I can make some more nice Dogster Friends.  
  Today was a great day, and it's only lunch time. Mom headed out to do some shopping, and I went in my crate. In a short time she was back again and picked me up out of my crate. I got to go TOO !!... I was pretty happy about that.  Little did I know that I was heading to the Vet for my last Booster shot.  That really wasn't too bad because the people there are very nice. They always tap my nose when I am getting a shot, then I am so busy looking at them tapping my nose, I don't pay any attention to the shot.... (that's an old trick of Mom's from her years of having puppies and dogs)...
  After that I got to go and walk around in McDonald's parking lot. I LOVED that.  Then I got to go to Petco, where I met some nice people. I was a little scared of the people reaching for me, but I did love to trot around the store, way out on the lead, like a show dog. (Ha Ha). Then I got to wait in the car while Mom ducked into Walmart quick. It's ok I had someone in the car watching out for me.
  Then home, lunch and now it's time for a little dog nap.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's a pretty hot one out there today. Not too bad for me, but one of those (seems like every day in the summer) too hot days from Frenchies. I didn't do too much today. I didn't get to go in the car, but Mom was saying something about a town fun day tomorrow, so I am hoping I get to go there.  I hope it doesn't rain (I do not like the rain).  
I have to go in for my last booster shot soon, I am not sure I like the vet, and I don't think a booster shot is going to make me like them more. But Mom is doing her best to fool me into thinking all these trips are fun....... Hmmmm. I don't know......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom had to go out and do errands today , so she brought me along with her. She would have loved to bring a Frenchie too, but you never know how much the weather is going to heat up. So I guess the Frenchies can only go on short trips till fall. And let me tell you, PO is mad about that.
  Anyway, we went to a drug store, and I got to stand outside and see people going in and out. I wasn't too sure about them, but I DID NOT bark, and my Mom was very pleased about that. I would let them pat me under the chin, but kept glancing up at Mom to see how she was reacting. I actually did inch my way up to someone Mom was talking to, for a second, and that was ok.  Then we went to Agway and Mom carried me inside the store, I actually got a present. It is a dog treat toothbrush. Ha I don't even have my BigGirl teeth in yet, but I will take it. 
  Then I ate lunch in my crate in the car. Mom was happy about that too.
  Mom says, you would be suprised how many people have Chihuahuas. We kept meeting people who had them, this is interesting. Maybe I can find another Chihuahua to play with sometime.  I hope.
  Fun day, she better take me out again today- I hope.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was a quiet kind of day. It was raining on and off, and Mom discovered I really don't much care to put my tiny little feet onto wet grass.  I didn't do much running around in the rain, just dainty foot placements in the grass.  Otherwise nothing much happened. Mom was going through boxes of clothes and weeding out some clothes to donate. She didn't let me help because I would have spent the whole time grabbing onto anything I could and causing a commotion.  Po got to help because she is VERY well behaved and wouldn't think of ruining anything.  That gets her into a lot more places than I can go.  Po also got a bath today, I haven't had a bath yet. Mom says that should be an interesting experience for both of us.
So, we hung around. Cleaned out clothes, painted a white rabbit red. Made dinner and now I am going to bed. Good night.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That is a photo of me in the back yard with one of my two best friends. Simon. Actually Ch. Simon... he is a special dog, 10 years old now, but my Mom had a great time showing him in the past. Those were the good old days. Ha Ha.
Anyway, yesterday Mom took me up to the Salvation Army store, because they are VERY nice people and let dogs come in and go shopping. She figured I needed to see more things than Simon and Robin.
We went up there, I was very good about riding in my crate in the car. When we went into the store I got pretty nervous. I was quietly whining and shaking. Mom has quickly figured out that Chihuahua's need a LOT more socializing than any French Bulldog in the world. She said something about taking me everywhere from now on, until I get really used to every situation. I finally did quiet down, and let a few people pat me, though I didn't look too happy about the whole situation. I kept glancing at Mom, and she kept telling me not to be a silly dog.  When I got a chance to ride in the grocery cart I was pretty happy. My little skinny tail was even wagging at some kids who wanted to pat me. When they actually did pat me I got a little nervous again. Mom is used to French Bulldogs who love EVERYONE in the whole world, and know that everyone is just dying to meet them.  Chihuahuas are different.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Every night after summer as it gets a little cooler my Mom takes me out in the big fenced in yard and I RUNNNN as fast as I can in circles around the yard. Last night Mom was laughing because I ran so fast that my tail was turned upside down. Instead of a question mark over my back it was the exact opposite way, like a cartoon frown.  She thinks I am so funny running ... so last night she went back inside and brought out Simon and Robin to run with me.  Robin LOVES to run and she is really careful to put on the brakes when she gets too close to me.  One time I saw this big (to me) Frenchie barrelling toward me and I just rolled over on my back. That worked, she just licked me and then we all ran around again. Simon just moseyed around, he is too dignified to race after us. Simon Dignified Ha Ha Ha......
Well it's bed time now. Good night Dogsters.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was another steamy and hot day here today. Mom and her family had to do Dr. appointments today, so I was kind of left here by myself for longer than I would have liked. I was good though, and am playing with my stuffed heart now.  Last night we had BOOMING thunder storms. Mom woke up from a sound sleep and I could see her peak at me to see how I would take the noise and flashing lights.  I looked back and told her it didn't bother me at all.  So we all went back to sleep. Mom thinks I am a VERY well adjusted little dog. She is waiting for me to spring some quirk on her.  We will see.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ All my family is being kind of sad and quiet today. I guess it is because my sister Pippi is gone.  I don't know what is going on, and I was trying to run around the kitchen with a tissue this morning (so Mom would chase me).  She did chase me, but just to take the tissue away. 
I did chase the stuffed lion a little this afternoon, but it has been a quiet day here. I did love Pippi.... I would try to play with her, but since she couldn't see me Mom thought that was not fair, so we would sniff each other through the gate.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Dogster Buddies: I am one of the diary picks of the day today. I am very happy and now I know I am special for sure. I already got a pretty pink Rosette from Angel and Dixie, thanks!!!!!
Mom is relieved that the Dentist drama is over with for now. She is a little relieved and a lot poorer.
I got some really nice antlers in the mail from Mom's friend. They feel really good to chew on with my little sharp teeth. Mom says it's a lot better than chewing the wood kitchen table legs.  I think I will chew both. 
It's another hot one in New England today. All the dogs are once again stuck inside.  I don't care about the heat at all. When Mom took me outside for the last time around 7pm last night. I ran and ran so fast that I looked like a tiny greyhound.  I speed all around the yard, dodging holes and my Mom.  Then I got a tissue out of her pocket and you should have seen me cover that big yard then. She had to make 6 trips from one end of the yard to the other picking up small pieces of tissue, until I had nothing much left and then I gave that to her. That was a BUNCH of fun, for me. Not so much Mom. 
Let's see what I can get into today.............]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The one good thing that happened today is that I hit 100 views. Yeah !!
That's a nice round number.
Mom went all around shopping and doing errands this morning, but she didn't take anyone with her because she says it is way WAY too hot already. Even for chihuahuas.  
Now I just got some flea juice put on me for the first time.  I don't know how I feel about that..  Mom is mad because it has been years since we saw a flea around here. Hope she doesn't blame me for that....
Mom is just generally mad because she has to go to the dentist today, and she is NOT happy....  She says, by tonight everyone will be happy again, she hopes.
The Frenchies are getting WAY sick of being stuck inside in the a/c, but we are supposed to have a few more very hot and humid days up here in New England, so we have to just stick it out. 
Florida was WAY better all around.  (I don't know, but that's what my MOM says)..... Gotta go eat lunch,  Bye for now...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was so suprised when my Mom told me I was THE Dogster diary of the day.She explained the whole thing to me and boy am I PROUD of myself. I am the first dog of Mom's who was ever Diary of the Day. That means I am better than Pippi and Kiwi and even Po.  Mom just said no, not really.
I had a good day today, played outside in the sun when it was too hot for the Frenchies to be out. I chewed on my Mom's hand, and that didn't go over too well.  I had a delicious dinner and now I am playing with my new  Mr. Octopus man (from Monster's Inc.) that Mom bought me today. She got me a whole bunch of tiny toys from McD's that are just my size. I have a new lion now, because my original lion is looking kind of sick.
It was a great day...  Thanks to all my Dogster Buddies for reading my page.  
Meanwhile Mom says I have travelling cherry eye.  The original eye came back, then the other side went away, now the original side went away and the second side is back..... Very strange.. I guess Mom better just get used to it.  The good thing is I don't mind the eye medicine at all any more, I just jump into her lap and she drips a drop in and off I go again. 
Mom is going to put a picture of me and my second best friend Robin exploring rocks together. We had a good time and didn't find anything.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ La La made the rounds of our small town today. She had to go to the vet for her rabies shot, and of course everyone had to hold her. She was a little shivery, but did not try to get away so I was very proud of her. Then we had to go to the rehab place to pick up something. Everyone in the office also had to hold her and fuss over her. It was very nice, and she also looked pretty comfortable for a chihuahua.
I am pretty happy with the way she is acting. She is so cute and being a very good girl -sleeping through the night, walking on her leash, and she seems to like the cra (always a plus).   She was TIRED by the time she finally got home.
I also cut her nails today, and it was like trying to grip an eel. We managed however, with some difficulty.
Oh yes, DRAT the first cherry eye came back.  (before I cut her nails, not after )..... Darn it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey ,  Thanks Dogster for making me one of the DDP's again today. I am very happy and I got a new rosette from Angel Whisper and her family. Thanks.....
This morning I was in the bathroom and Mom noticed I was staring and staring at the toilet.  She didn't see anything wrong so didn't pay much attention. Then I got in there again and watched some more.  Pay attention Mom !!!   The toilet was running over and water was dripping on the floor.  Well that resulted in another Plumber call, good thing he lives close, and he will have to come back out tomorrow and fix it right.
I notice these little things when I am on "house patrol".. Guess Mom will have to get used to me doing my job.....  The Frenchies would have just glanced and said "Oh well"...  Wow, breeds are SO different. 
By the way, my original cherry eye has gone away, now I just have the new one. Keep your finger's crossed, friends, and hope this one goes away too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ These are nosey little dogs.  I got everyone up early this morning, because it was cool, and the Frenchies got a chance to go outside and enjoy the nice morning, they were amusing themselves barking at bunnies outside the fence.
La La and I had some time together while I had my coffee. Then she was off looking for something to get into.
I keep PiPi's grooming equipment in a bucket inside the bathroom closet and La La loves to go in there and swing from leads hung on hooks in the closet.  Pretty soon she goes speeding out of the bathroom closet and into the kitchen.  There was something about that run that said "I have something I don't want you to see".... Sure enough she was running with PiPi's grooming scissors...   "Don't run with scissors !!!"... Nutty little thing. No harm done to her or the scissors.  What will she find next ?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi. Thanks for the nice presents and comments. I am so happy to be one of the Dogster Diary of the Day dogs.  And I am so little, it makes me feel special.
Today my Mom was amazed at me. The plumber was in and out the door all morning. Priming the water pump, checking the well and doing all kinds of repairs. I had been running around for a few hours before he came, so I just sat in my little pen and watched him go back and forth all morning. I did not bark or whine or ANYTHING.. My Mom was Shocked that I was being so good.  My friend Simon, on the other hand, didn't shut up all morning. He is the problem of the family.  (Mom still loves him the best).
This afternoon I got to ride down to the town hall in our little town and help pay the taxes. That was a whole bunch of fun for me, not so much for my Mom.
Now I am going to do my eveing speed around the kitchen, and then off to bed for the night. 
ps. I am also learning to eat like a French Bulldog. Mom puts down my food, I chomp it up really quickly, and then she picks up my dish. I don't mess around with my food lately. I now weigh 3.31 lbs.  Hmmm. I better not get too big.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well the water pump down in the basement was making all kinds of no good noises on Friday night at about 10pm.  Mom fiddled with it a bit and then just turned the whole thing off. We are without water here until the plumber gets here on Monday. I don't really care because I am still getting my meals on time.  Four times a day now, because I am such a little girl and Mom figures I am burning off the food like crazy since I run around so much.. We are all getting water from the store and the house is getting dirtier and dirtier, but I like it like that.
  I went outside to play with Robin, my French Bulldog sister, yesterday. We were both rolling on our backs next to each other, she loves me, but she is so much bigger that after a few rolls from Robin when I ended up squashed down into the grass. Mom said "That's enough, the vet's are closed today" so she took me back inside. I LOVE Robin .... and I even really like it when she rolls on me.
 P.S.  Mom says I am still really cute even with two cherry eyes on a black face.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night and tonight I got to go for a short visit, to the next town over from us.  My Mom's Dad is temporarily in a rehab place, and it is a great place because they let dogs come and visit. Some of the Frenchies got to visit already, and tonight and last night I visited. I was not too sure of who this man was, because he wasn't home since I came to my new family. I was a little scard the first night, but by tonight I was happy and licked him on the nose and fell asleep in his lap.  My Mom was pleased...  
Then while my Mom was on the phone hearing about the dog show news, she looked down at me and "WHAT" I popped out a cherry eye on the other eye. Ha Ha. Just to keep her on her toes.  She says "Oh well, might as well be both eyes and just one eye"...  She says I will have to get them fixed eventually, but not till I grow up a little more.  Guess my Mom wasn't too happy about my eye trick.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my first fourth of July.  I guess it must be something special, but so far around here things seem pretty much normal. Wake up at the same time, same kind of food to eat....  No hot dogs or hamburgs for me. 
It's hot again, so all the Frenchies are snoozing.. I want to run around and bite on Mom's hands, but she doesn't like that at ALL.... 
Not having any barbeques or fireworks (I hope).... No parades, but we do have ice cream. Mom is going to let me watch her eat her ice cream. Big deal.... I want some too. 
Mom is trying to get all of us dogs out of the kitchen at some point so she can paint the floor. She has the idea that she is going to do red squares all over the kitchen floor.  That's a good idea, but everytime she gets the floor all washed and ready to paint. All us dogs have to run over it, or spill our water all over the place. Maybe she will realize it's a hopeless case, especially with ME around. The baby puppy of the group. Ha Ha......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today we took little La La in for her second shot and her rabies. Our vet, who is wonderful, thought that two shots in that little chihuahua system would be too much, so we decided to wait for the rabies till next week.  She was very good, if somewhat nervous about the whole experience. I tapped her on the nose while she got her shot, so she didn't even notice it. She was good about the toenails and the temperature.  But... as we were going into the vet's office in the beginning I noticed a little haw showing in the corner of one eye. Sure enough "cherry eye"... I was hoping to get away with no problems with this puppy, but nope.  We got drops from the vet and I am keeping my finger's crossed that maybe we will be very lucky and it will go away. There is always something, isn't there. I am glad I got some more cute pictures before this little eye thing. 
After the visit we went to a KFC and got lunch and just by luck drove down to a river close by to look for some shade, and eat our lunch.  There was a Lab field test going on. Very interesting. Our little chihuahua sat in her crate and didn't bark at the strange dogs. "Good girl".  We watched them for a while, it was a lot of fun.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was pretty hot, not so hot for a chihuahua, but really hot for French Bulldogs. We were all pretty much inside in the ac all day. I think I am teething, that's what Mom says, because she calls me a pirhana fish, and hopes I will grown out of this stage soon.
I have an old anter that was chewed down to three inches by the Frenchies and I love to play with that. Mom is going to have to find a new antler for Mario soon. He LOVES them, and it gives him something to do while the heat rages outside.  Mom didn't even mow the rest of the lawn yesterday. As soon as the heat stopped, Big Thunderstorms showed up. She took me outside for a minute and we played a lot, so I wouldn't be afraid of the big noises. So far I don't care about them. Mom hopes that this will last. She has had a dog in the past who was really scared of Thunderstorms and it wasn't fun at all. Now all the Frenchies are fine with Giant Booming Thunder.  Pippi can't hear the noise, and I am not scared at all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A lot has happened with me since I got here. My Mom is trying to catch up and from here on go with the day it actually is.  I am learning all the time and seeing new things. Very tiring for a little puppy.
I went back to my ice cream store on Sunday the 17th. Mom got strawberry cheesecake ice cream, but once again I got nothing. I walked around all by myself. My sister Robin didn't go this time. Too hot for Frenchies, but I was fine.
On Wednesday I saw my Dad who has been away since I got here. He was going for some medical tests and I came along so we could meet. It ended up taking a lot LOT longer than my Mom thought it would, but finally I got to ride home with him holding me.  I was a little scaredy at first, after a while I was so tired from my big day that I fell asleep in his arms. He thought I was VERY cute and tiny.  By the time we got home everyone in our family was exhausted, so we all went to bed early that night. I was nice and didn't make a peep all night.
Today was one of those sweltering 90+ degree days. All of the Frenchies stayed in their air conditioning, and got really bored. I ran around the kitchen some, and dozed in bed other times. We didn't go out anywhere today. Lucky Po got to go to a church tag sale this morning before it got hot, she was the official greeter at the sale.  She had a ball. But I stayed home. Mom got a new red chair for the kitchen and she has warned me that I must not taste it with my little chihuahua teeth. It is wood and she knows what can happen to wood chairs.
She thinks I am starting to loose my baby teeth, because I am getting very bity at night.  That is going to have to stop .... says Mom.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This week we just let the puppy hang around. Nothing much but exploring the house and going out with Simon and Robin once in a while. I notice she sleeps through the morning, but around 6 pm. WATCH OUT... She starts zooming around the kitchen. Playing with every toy she can get hold of. 
Guess she is a night time dog.
I did have to change the wire on the gate across the kitchen, because she was squeezing that little body through 2 by 4 inch mesh,  So we had to get smaller mesh. She hasn't tried to climb that gate yet, thank goodness.  
She is being amazingly good sleeping through the night. I was astounded that she didn't cry at all.
I am also going to feed her 4 times a day, rather than all the time (free feed) and see how that will work out.
Funny, she doesn't seem to like her food soaked. She wants it dry. So until she starts loosing the baby teeth, and I might have to soak it again for a while, she will get it dry.
Chihuahuas seem a LOT more mature at a younger age, than Frenchies. A LOT.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ La La speaking. A friend of my Mom's came over today, just to see me. She brought me a new puppy toy. A cute round squeekie elephant. I had a whole bunch of fun with that, and also with Mom's friend. That is after I got used to her a little bit. I don't just immediately run up to someone and be best friends, like a Frenchie would. But I am doing pretty good, and my mom hopes that if she brings me up like a Frenchie I will be comfortable in all kinds of situations. I know I will always be a little cautious at first, because I am so little, I guess.  By the way, I got weighed at my first visit to the vet.  That was on my way home to my new house. I weighed 2.3 lbs.  My mom doesn't know if that is big or small for a 9 week old puppy.  Maybe some Dogster chihuahua people do.

Anyway, after playing around. We all went down to the DELICIOUS ice cream place. Robin came too. I had a good good time walking around in the grass outside where everyone was eating their ice cream cones. I didn't get any however.  Robin got some vanilla. I guess she is special.  I wasn't at all afraid of Robin.. Mom said it was funny to see Robin, who is a small girl with me the teeny tiny one, walking around on leads together.
People patted me too, and I didn't mind that 'MUCH"..... Some people held me too.  I was really tired by the time I got home. But it was BIG fun.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today La La met Simon.  My 10 year old, fawn French Bulldog Champion. He is so trustworthy and good with everyone, I thought I would give her a try with him.  Love at first sight. She loves him and he lets her jump all over his head.  It is wonderful to see the two of them together. After a short time, Simon with shoot me a "save me" look, and then I figure he has had enough, but so far so good.
Robin will be the next introduction........ our brindle female Frenchie.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well the first day in her new house she was so good.  She ate her food. more or less let us know when she had to go outside. Took naps in her x pen and comfy open crate when she got tired..... THEN as a few days passed she suddenly discovered she had hidden talents... La La says " I have Monkey genes".....    We found her outside of the x pen and could not figure out how she escaped.  I didn't think she could squeeze through the wire, We were stumped.  So I had to put her back in and watch her from the kitchen.  Finally we figured she was climbing up the side of the x pen and then jumping out.  That was a shock to me.  No Frenchie is going to climb anything.   So through the next few days she perfected her climbing techniques and I tried everything to keep her in her pen.
I tried clamping a cloth cover over the ex pen.  No good. I tried putting her in a large wire crate. No good, she squeezed out through the large wire openings in the bottom.  I tried turning that crate over so the large wire openings were at the top. Nope, she climbed the sides and then squeezed through the wire.
Then I hauled a 36" ex pen up from the barn.  Put her dog crate and toys etc inside of that pen. Clamped a sheet all around the top with heavy alligator clips (clipped every two inches) and I was sure that would be safe.    
NOPE:  I heard a whining from the living room and went in to check. There was La La  bouncing around on top of the clamped on sheet, like it was a trampoline.  UNBELIEVABLE..... She didn't jump off, just waited for me to pick her up... but she must have been up there for a while, since she left us a little present up on top ..... Thanks La La....
Well, now she has her cuddle bed and toys, water and food in a small wire Frenchie crate.  That finally seems to work and she is happy.
I never hauled so many pieces of dog equipment for a tiny dog (or any dog)....... Who knew they climbed...???? Not me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Dogster People:  " I have arrived.  My Mom and her family had been hinting to Ali's (toy white poodle) Mom for a few years that we would love to have a little dog.  Ali's Mom didn't bite, Ha Ha. I don't blame her. So today they decided to add me to their French Bulldog Family.
This is a Chihuahua experiment.... I am very happy to be here. My new family is really nice and I already love my friend Simon who is much much bigger than me.  He is gentle and doesn't mind me jumping all over his head.   Anyway this is my arrival date.  My Mom is going to do the talking for me (most of the time), because she says I am too little and too busy with playing to write. Now I will turn it over to my Mom "

We had been wanting a little dog with a long nose and a tail that wagged for years. We wanted a dog who could come with us, even when it is too hot for the Frenchies.  We researched many breeds, and didn't think we wanted a Chihuahua.  Besides we wanted a light color dog (for a change). Suprise- we found a little black chihuahua that we all pretty much fell in love with as soon as we saw her.
Her breeder did a very good job with the puppies. They all looked happy and healthy, and the mother and father were so friendly. Her dad is a white and brown boy who weighs 6 lbs, and her mom is blue and a little heavier.  Both were friendly and sweet. 
So home this little peanut came with us. She rode on a lap on the way home and wasn't nervous.  She bounced into the kitchen. Ate her dinner. Met the human family, and went nicely to sleep that night in her little 24" tall xpen with a comfy crate inside and her toys for company. She didn't make a peep all night.  
Next installment : the x pen fiasco........]]></content:encoded>
