Life is Short Diary by "Campbell"

Tired of mommy being gone

I wish my mommy wouldn't have to leave for so many hours each day. I really miss her when she does that. I know she has to go to school and work to make money to buy my toys and rawhides though. Well, luckily I like to sleep a lot, and I always get treats when she leaves and big hugs when she gets back.

Merry Christmas to me

Wow, what a week, I am so exhausted. Mommy let me stay at Grandma and Grandpa's this week cause my aunt was in town from far away. I guess she lives in a place where all the chihuahua's get fancy clothes and can go in any store, how cool is that? Anyway, I have been forced to deal with Pepper all week too. She's fun and all and I try to boss her around but she always mananges to end up with the ball. Luckily I get all the food the grown ups give us. My favorite part was playing tug-o-war with the new stuffed animals grandma got us. Pepper is so funny, she actually thinks that when she puts her head down while biting on the stuffed animal that I won't try to get it away from her, but I always win. I may be smaller, but no one messes with a chihuahua and their determination to have whatever we want! My aunt didn't want to leave me but it was nice to sleep in her bed. I miss my home though with my comfy couch and all my own toys and rawhide bones, but I'm sure mommy will be back soon to take me there. She has been visiting and looks really sad when she had to leave me each night. I think she's happy to have a good set of parents who help watch me when she needs them too. So Christmas was good, ate lots of yummy ham, and even some dog cookies. I can't complain, but glad will I be happy to get back to my napping all day long. Don't get me wrong, I love grandpa's lap for naps, Grandma even dubbed me as the "ballwarmer" but i miss cuddling up to mommy too, and I think she misses me as well. But darn this new preppy sweater, it is so itchy. I'll just have to keep wiggling out of it every time they try to keep it on me for the night. I guess i'll just have to go outside and freeze each time in this cold weather. Merry Christmas everyone and have a happy new year! I know I will!

Yummy fingers

I don't know what it is but every time i see those wiggly, long thin fingers of mommy, i have to go after them! I know i'm not supposed to bite real hard, but it's that first nibble....We are just playing, I just can't help it...they slip into my mouth and the saltiness, the softness of the skin takes over... I just want to sink my teeth into them! The worst it knowing that if i could just get through the skin without hurting mommy, then i can have the bone inside. No, i won't do that though, I have all those rawhide bones. I guess there are just some temptations we can't fully indulge. Maybe i'll just tear up another stuffed animal and eat all the stuffing instead when she isn't looking, unless of course there is a tissue lying around, that's much more fun to tear up into a thousand different pieces she'll have to clean.
