Life back home

We've all settled into our routines again, Mami's back to work, Papi's writing late into the night, and I'm getting double cuddles, which is very nice. Mami's also been a little sick, leftover bug from Mexico, she says, so sometimes she lets me sleep in the bed with her when her tummy is feeling nasty. I feel bad about her tummy and all, but anything that lets me sleep on the blankets is a good thing. After all, naps are my favorite things.

Office visit

Today I'm visiting Mami's office, and I like to sniff the brand new carpet. Sometimes I think the boss gets worried that I might damage the new carpet, but I'm a big girl and don't have those kind of accidents any more. I hope that Dewey will visit today, I haven't seen him since I got back from vacation.
Earlier I went on assignment with Mami and I got to meet a whole bunch of little old people who are growing tomatoes. They were really happy to meet me. I got to kiss a lot of new noses. Now I'm settling into my special office bed for a nap.

Cumpleanos

Since I wasn't able to blog during my birthday, I'm going to share a photo taken during my celebration. It was pretty exciting. I got to wear a hat, and they gave me a big plate of pork dog food with a candle in it, and then they gave me a big red rubber ball with a bell inside. It's my new favorite toy!

I'm back!

Well, I had a wonderful time visiting my Grandma in Portland while my parents were in Mexico, but I'm glad to be back home again. I really missed Lulu, and my house, and my toys, and I got to go to the office today to see my old friends again. It's super hot here today, but the office is airconditioned.
I'm going to miss my grandma but we'll see each other again soon. I will really miss her big back yard.

On holiday

Hey everybody! I'm getting ready for a two-week hiatus, so I thought I'd wish everyone a happy July, and best wishes til I return. I'm going to be spending a couple weeks with my grandma, enjoying her fenced back yard and a little big city life. Look for my return the last week of July, and I'll let you know how everything went. Oh, by the way, I turn 1 year old on July 10! Eat a piece of cake in my honor!

True love

This is my boyfriend, Dewey. Well, he doesn't exactly let me call him my boyfriend, but he lets me follow him around and walk along side him and he doesn't mind if I sniff his ears a little. He is soooo very handsome. He's a full Chihuahua, like my mom was, and he has the nicest white tip on the end of his tail. I don't get to see him very much, but when we're both at Mami's office at the same time, we take walks together. He doesn't let me get near his cushion, though, he shows his teeth at me. I think he's dreamy.

Nature

Sunday afternoon, I got to take my first nature hike. We went walking up in the forest just north of town, and it was very beautiful. I have never been in such a big, warm, smelly forest before. There was so much to sniff! I couldn't believe it! We walked around the woods on this big path for an hour, and there were birds and flowers and branches and rocks and a whole lot of other things to look at. When I got hot, Mami made a cup out of a big leaf and gave me bottled water, which was very nice. When it was time to go, I was VERY tired and fell asleep in Papi's arms on the drive back to town.

Popsicles

You know what the best thing is about summer heat waves? Icey treats. Mami and Papi both spend a lot of their time eating popsicles in the afternoons to cool down, and I always get the tail end. I like all the flavors, orange, cherry, grape, lime, and most especially, banana. I'll eat rootbeer but it's not the best. Kind of too sweet, if you ask me. But I'm not complaining.
