Hello World!

Doggy Beach!

Me and Mommy went to Pickles', (the chihuahauahaha) (who knows how to spell that?) birthday party at the doggy beach. She and the other chiwbaccas liked being in the sand, but mommy says I am black and so is she and we are tan enough so we don't do beaches. As soon as Sarah (Pickles' Mommy) put down a blanket under the table, me and Mommy plopped down so we could avoid icky sand in our toes and shoes and fur.

Mommy did snap a cute photo of me, which is what we are choosing to show you there. It was a lot of fun. I saw some other doggies going into a big blue ocean (Mom says on the other side of that is Japan but I can't swim that far) but I was having none of that. I wanted to stay right by mommy and get some of the special liver treats that Sarah had bought for Pickles.

THEN we went to a dog friendly mall called Fashion Island. Plenty of doggies and I was able to go into every store. I say it's because I'm a good girl, Mommy says being good doesn't matter if someone doesn't want a doggie to come in. Harumph, Mommy. We did go into one store called Pottery Barn and they had something smelled called Incense and Room freshener or something like that. (Mommy says those products help cover up the smell of toots) She prefers to simply open a window and turn on the fan since when we were at the store, both of us were allergic and we sneezed a lot.

Sarah did something fun. At lunch in the food court, she gave me chicken under the table BEFORE asking Mommy if it was okay. Then she asks "Is it okay for her to have chicken?" instead of the key "is it okay for her to be FED from the TABLE?". Mommy was very mad because she says Sarah has managed to undo her training of the past three weeks. To me I just didn't realize when Mommy sat down at the dinner table, the food there was something I could eat. As a result, I now sit right under Mommy when she's trying to eat food at the table. She says she will beat up Sarah but I want to give Sarah smooches.

Oh, btw, I'm still tooting, but not so much now that I have been eating a mix of Wellness and Natural Balance. Mommy is switching back to fully lamb and rice and we hope that helps. I don't want to have to toot ALL the time.

Okay, the PUnkin is coming so time for a nap!
