Wow, another Christmas come and gone - I won't bore you with those details, although Mom did take me down to Galveston to be with her family. No one bought me a gift, but I did have a good time. We stayed only a few days and I had lots of human cousins to play with.

Today, however, I went for a walk with Mom and we met up with Ms. Kathleen and my BFF Estelle as usual, but today they had Lila with them - she's a four-month-old Chorkie - that's Chihuahua and Yorkie. She is black with white paws and very tiny and very cute - at least that's what the humans all say. I just don't get it. I mean, I'm part Chihuahua too and people don't fuss over me as much as they fuss over her (although they DO like me an awful lot - and really they do fuss over me too).

Anyhow, we walked a pretty long walk and then Mom called Ms. Jean to see if we could all come by to see her and Jack and Rosie, the Irish Setters. Mom drove me while Ms. Kathleen walked Estelle and Lila. I could have walked too - I think Mom is just lazy... (Don't tell her I said that though...)

We had a nice visit except Estelle kept chewing all over me. It makes Mom nervous, but Ms. Kathleen knows that I'M the boss of Estelle and can make her stop whenever I want. Mom didn't think so, so she babied me. I didn't mind since I like being on Mom's lap (although right now she has COL - Cat on Lap - or more specifically - China on Lap - so what am I, chopped liver? Ok, so the cats deserve some of Mom's special love too... but I can still be jealous.

Anyhow, we were finally about to leave when Jack escaped in the front yard! It was dark outside and Mom handed my leash to Ms. Kathleen and unlocked her car doors so that Ms. Kathleen could put all of us inside and help chase Jack. They live on a very busy street. It seemed like eons before they finally came back for us, but it was probably not more than 10 minutes. That Jack is a very bad boy - he should come when his Mom calls him. I would NEVER run away down a dark dangerous street like that! NEVER! That was very scary to all the humans. But now Jack is safe at home. Thank goodness!
