Life is good being Pipo!

Halloween/Day of the dead celebration

Mom hadnt time to prepare a halloween custome for me this weekend, she was planning to dress me as a mommie on Saturday but the weather wasnt nice to go out at evening and she and dad went to a party without me :(, but today after they arrive (long party BOL!) and took a nap, they took me to C.U to watch the ofrendas just like last year, in these days (November 1st and 2nd) Mexico celebrate Day of the Dead, this time the weather was to hot to wear my spider costume, ofrendas are private altars honoring the deceased, we build it using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, you can see them in my pictures. There were lots of people, so I had to go with my leash all the time, the good part is that they also sold food, my pawrents buy tamales and they give me some pieces yum yum I love it! specially the beans and cheese tamal!

Then mom bought some "bread of the dead" (Pan de muerto) another tradition of these days, the bread of the dead is round shaped with strips of dough attached on the top to resemble bones, so dont worry its not made of dead people BOL! My pawrents ate it with hot cocoa, and they also game me a little piece of bread so I can taste it and guess what? I ALSO LIVE IT!! so it was a great day for me, my tummy is so full!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!!

Another trip!!!

Dad had lots of work on summer so we stayed and home on that days, so this weekend everything match for taking a break from this crazy city!!!

We went to Vaymas Hotel again, mom wanted dad to know the place, we had lots of fun, I was able to be outleash almost all the time, becouse daddy had more control over me, mom just gets to anxious, my dad is the leader of the pack in words of Cesar Millan BOL! I naped next to the beach, took long walks and found a new hobbie: chasing crabs at night!!!!! they were my sea squirrels! BOL!!!! dad even help me grabbing one and he got bitten! BOL!! mom can stop laughing (dont worry the crabs were small)

At night we saw the sunshine in one of the cute and comfortable sofas of the lounge, mom and dad drank some wine, and the three of us were cuddling! ahhhhh it was so romantic and relaxing ;).

Today mom decided to give me a bath becouse I smell like " homeless beach dog" she said, it really bother me so at my walk I decided to give her a lesson about the trully meaning of "smelling good" and I cover myself in something very nasty!!! I cant even mention it!!! mom gets really mad and I had to get ANOTHER shower at night, well it seems whe have different ideas of what a good perfume is! :S

My sunday

Today lots of things happens, mom and dad took me to my sunday walk at C.U. it was a special day becouse there was a event of different organizations that fights against animal cruelty and also dog shelters promoting adoption. My mom enjoy it and was very happy becouse she buys two pins, one of vegetarianism and other agaisnt bullfights there were lots of doggies and I sniff them all!!!!! Mom was a little nervous becouse my dogster friend Sasha was attacked very very bad a few days ago by a German Shepherd, even her mommy got bitten!!!!! So today mom acted a little paranoid everytime a big dog came near me BOL!

Lots of my friends were there, my friend Travis and his pawrents and my friend Mila and her humans, the humans had lots of fun talking, Travis has a new sister!!!!! she is a miniature dachshund just like Travis but longhaired and black/tan like me!!!! she jumps a lot infront of me and I get tired of her! Im a little impatient with puppies so I hide from her BOL!!! Milas pawrents were a little sad becouse Mila had what it seems to be a epileptic seizure, she is a italian greyhound with pedigree and everything, so they went to the breeder and she said "oh yes, its very common on italian greyhounds, so common you can say its normal" NORMAL!!????? epilepsy cant be something normal!!! everytime mom gets more convinced that adoption is the most etic way of getting a dog becouse lots of breeders only think on the money and worst things happens on puppy mills, so if in a future I have a brother or sister mom definitely would adopt!!!!

Anyway... it was a good sunday, the weather was nice at my walk, very sunny ( now is raining) we came home and dad share with me some of the bolognese spaghetti he order for meal mmmmmmm yummy!! after that I took a good nap.
