Today was a great Chirstmas! I got two new harnesses, one is pink with white fluff around the collar (for extra comfort) and the other is blue with flowers.
I also got a couple of fleece blankets, a new rope chew toy, a squeaky toy shaped like a birthday cake, and some treats. I followed up by nibbling on the branches of the Christmas tree.

Today we had a super big dinner, something mommy calls "Thanksgiving".
I was thankful that I got rescued a year ago and that I now live in a big house with lots of treats on the table.
I learned a new trick, too! I learned that by jumping on the dining room chair, it's only a short jump to the tabletop! I put my plan into action today, and soon found myself face down in a bowl of stuffing.
Mommy and daddy were not impressed by my feat, however, as they promptly picked me up, placed me on the floor in the kitchen, and stood around me and informed me that I was a "bad girl".
I displayed the appropriate submissive stance in order the please them, but as soon as their backs are turned, I'm going back for the turkey!

I was sleeping in the sun when mommy came to pick us up. There was quite a fiasco because Patches chewed up a big patch of our sitter's carpet (maybe that's why they call him Patches? Ha ha. I'm a funny dog). I really liked staying here, though, so much better than any old kennel!

Mommy and daddy have dropped us off with a sitter while they're out of town. I know this lady we're staying with because she volunteers at the rescue place where mommy adopted me from. She has another chihuahua of her own (also adopted), and I quickly let him know I'm boss!

Now that my mange has resolved mommy bought me a giant stuffed mange mite. It's brown with orange feet. I love to give it a chew, so I can exact my revenge on the parasite that caused me to lose my beautiful fur. I'm so glad it has grown back, and I am a pretty girl again.

Well, my mange is clearing up nicely. Mom took me to the vet again and they did a skin scraping (yipe!!) but it was negative.
I've decided to try to get in shape for the new year. I read an article that says if you wag your tail 200 times a day it will stay firm and toned, and that this will prevent cellulite in your hind quarters. I should see results in about six weeks.

Mommy and daddy tore all the pretty paper off of those packages under the tree.
I got a ball, a squeaky toy, some treats and a stuffed mange microbe. I also got some green and red rawhide bones. Wheee!

I have decided to accept the other dog as my pack member and I have settled well into my new home. Mommy and daddy brought a pine tree into the house and they hung a lot of glass balls and toys on it. Then they put packages under the tree. Me and Patches went to Petsmart and got our pictures taken with Santa Claws and mommy hung the pictures on the tree.
I've noticed something weird about Patches; he growls at his own rear end whenever he eats.
I bet he thinks his tail is haunted and the ghost is trying to steal his food. What a dummy!

Who does that other dog think he is? Whenever I'm on the couch he tries to come up and invade my nest! He also tries to get close to the humans when I'm on their laps. The nerve! This insolence will not be tolerated! This is MY HOUSE!

PS. It turns out the other dog's name is Patches, not Walkies.

I came out of my crate today because I had to go potty. While I was out I explored the back yard and have determined it to be of an acceptable size. The lady, who I guess is now my Mommy, took the cone off my head. It feels great!
They have a hole in one of the walls that they call a "fireplace". I went in to explore it and when I came out mommy yelled at me for tracking sooty paw prints on the carpet. At any rate I think it will be a great place to have puppies someday. Which reminds me, I wonder what that surgery was for and why do I have stitches in my tummy? Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
I think the other dog's name is "Walkies" because he comes running whenever the humans say that.
