Enigma has gone to the Bridge

Nima left us for the bridge last Sunday. We miss him terribly, including his brother kitty, Lancelot, who talk about it in his diary.
Nima was 10 years-old, and I cannot believe yet that he is not coming back.

The lovely angel doggie, Greta, has tagged me to bark 7 things about myself.
Here we go:

1) I am getting canned food for the first time in my life now! I never used to touch it, but now I see the cats get it and so I want it too.

2) It is good that I am eating the canned food, because I need to keep my weight up. I am starting to lose a lil bit, and the doctor said that is the first sign of bad things to come concerning my heart problem.

3) BUT I AM DOING GREAT! :0) I feel great! I boof! I play! I run!

4) And I growl at daddy. BOL! I always have and always will. I came first, darn it! If he gets close to my food or to mama when she is sleeping, I growl VERY loud and scary and run after him.

5) My neighbor is a Yorkie named Ozzie who barks a lot. And when he is out and barking, that is the only time I am allowed to bark back for a little bit. Then I get taken inside. It is so exciting!

6) I am a well traveled doggie. I have driven accross the U.S. twice! And I have had long visits in TX and CO. I lived in CA and MD. And now I live in Spain.

7) When I don't get brushed a lot, my fur turns into something like dreads. It is wirey and long because of the poodle part, but it is straighter because of the Chihuahua.

Thanks Greta fur thinking of me!
Wags everypup!

Tagged: 6 things I love

My pal *Roger Bleu* tagged me to write 6 things I love:

(1) I LOVE my mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(2) I LOVE when I get to go for a walk!

(3) I LOVE cheese- oh yes- very much!

(4) I LOVE my blue blankie that is soft that I have had from when I first came home (it was my mom's brother's baby blanket-BOL).

(5) I LOVE snoozing on the fuzzy rug in the livingroom, because it is cozy and I can bury lil food pellets in it.

(6) I LOVE boofing at every lil sound I hear (dog bark, people walking by, neighbors, door opening, door bell, when the kitties are in the catbox, etc.) and sometimes at nothing at all.

Thanks fur tagging me Roger!
Wags!

New kitty: not so bad

Well, I met the new kitty! He is totally cool. Just chill like I am. We sniffed eachother a lil, but we were really more interested in getting all the pets and pats going around. He is being kept away from MeanKittyLancelot for now (lucky new cat), but he did hiss at him through the crack in the door.

Maybe he will end up being my lil buddy! Cool!

New Kitty in the House

The pawrents are off to pick up a new kitty!

I think it is pawsome news!!!! Now MeanKittyLancelot will have someone to play with- his own size- and leave me alone!!!

I love cats. I am actually very friendly with them. But I don't like to be chased by them, which my kitty does.

I am very happy that we are not getting another dog. That would be unacceptable. I am king doggie, and I don't need any other doggies coming around to pee on the things I pee on...I hate that!!

So I say bring on the new kitty. I hope MeanKittyLancelot and him are best of furriends!
And play a lot.
Away from me.

Wish the family luck!

Furry Handsome in my New Hat

My tail is just a wagging! I love my new hat! What do you guys think?
Furry handsome, if I do say so myself. BOL!

Thank you so much Roger Bleu for giving me my hat!! You are so talented.

Wags!

Tagged: 5 Facts About Myself

I have been tagged by a kitty!! I love to play with kitties- just not MeanKittyLancelot, as he gets too rough with me. But this game seems safe enough.

I have been tagged by the handsome cat, *Roger Bleu*

Thanks Roger, now here are 5 Facts About Myself:

(1) I will do just about anything for cheese. That is how I learned all the tricks I know- lots and lots of cheese. I know the sound of the cheese wrapper and the cheese grater, and I am standing right there to see if I get some. I usually do. Then I wait until the kitchen clears out, and I go hoover the floor looking for any cheese droppings.

(2) Thunder, windshield wipers, and people making that HOOT sound when they blow on the tops of bottles should be ILLEGAL! Any one of those things send me into hysterics! I cry and climb up mama and shake. I really should be tranquilized for thunder storms, but I can't because...

(3) Mama accidently overdosed me once on tranquilizers! Scary! She misread the bottle completely and gave me too much acepromazine during a thunder storm. (That was before I started having siezures-which means I cannot have it anyway.) It was the 1st, and last, time she had ever given it to me. I was still crazy during the storm, then we all went to bed. The next morning, mama called me, but I was under the bed. She called me out and I crawled out a lil, but I could not stand up or walk! That is when she reread the Rx bottle. That was so terribly scary (mama was freaking!), we never tried that again.

(4) I have been to the movies. Mama used to take me everywhere in a big purse. One time, she met a friend at the mall and they decided to catch a movie. We saw Waterboy with Adam Sandler. Kinda boring for me- no popcorn :0(

(5) I love small fuzzy toys. I have tons and tons of them. I keep them in every corner of the house, so I always have one ready to attack or play fetch with or (my favorite) just lie down and chew it until I fall asleep. The squeeker never lasts long- it is 1st to go. Then the stuffing is next. So most of my toys are flat, but I love them so much.

Whew! That was fun! Thanks again Roger!
Wags!

Bath Day

Today was Bath Day!

I am always sad when it is bath time. I am good and just stand there. And afterwards, I LOVE the hairdryer. It is so warm. Then I get brushed and cooed at, then I go running around the house at top speed! BOL!

But when I first get in the sink or bath tub, I am so sad. When mama says, "Get your towel, Enigma," I run and hide!

But now I am all foofy like a just got out of the dryer. And smell so nice. AHHHHH.

Snuzzy

Have you pups been reading the snuzzy blog on Dogster??? Some of it is funny, some of it is cute.

You reallllly should check out the video of the dancing dog on 5/14. I think it is called "John Travolta is a Rookie in his eyes." It is so amazing what that pup can do!

Learning to sit and stay are enough for me, thank you very much!

Indoor plumbing please.

This morning, mama went to let me out in the backyard to do my thing, and I was so excited to go (as usual). BUT as soon as I walked out the door, big rain drops started falling on my head!

I turned tail and tried to get mama to let me back in and she told me no, I had to go potty first. I walked away for a second and ran back. Still no. I did that about 4 times, before I decided I should just finally do the deed.

I was so wet when I came back in, but mama told me how brave and good I am and gave me peanutbutter. So all's well that ends well, eh?
