Excuse the dust...

Hello friends,
Excuse the lack of cleanliness and organization, but I had to share this picture. It looks like there's grass growing inside the house but that's only because mom took the picture through the window before coming into the house after work. She was trying to fold the clean laundry in the morning but she failed big time (and she blamed us kids for that).
But the whole point of showing this picture is not that one.
You see, when she announced she was pregnant about two years ago, many friends and relatives commented on how she would finally forget about the dog (the dog would be me). They expected mom to stop paying attention to me, and maybe to have me stop being and indoor dog.
I say, they were wrong. I upgraded the dog bed on the floor to a full sized toddler bed. And my sister didn't mind.

I'll be there for you

Whenever you feel like cooking, or eating, or feeding a doll or a plush toy. No need to call my name; I'll be there.

It takes time...

But hopefully not years to learn how to use a new phone. Specially the camera.

Can you see this?

Mom got a new phone. There seems to be no blogger app for  this one. Great, we are back to sending emails to post.

On a special diet

Hello friends,

I am back from a short absence due to having taken a few sick days. After all sorts of tests the vet diagnosed mild pancreatitis. Mother thought it was an addison's disease flare up. Either way, I am back to normal except for the fact that I am on a special diet now. I can only eat gastrohealth canned food. No veggies, no fruits. No yogurt. Did you know that toddlers understand the meaning - but pretend that they don't because they don't like it - of the word "NO"?

Dog Park Messenger

Yep, those lovely secret messages from Yorkie to the cute Daschund girl worked. The will soon go on a date!

So Mean

Friends,

Please watch closely at today's pictures. What do you see? Someone is holding a blue and yellow sippy cup. That someone is walking all over the house with said sippy cup. For a moment the sippy cup gets closer to me, then in an instant it dissapears from my sight (sniff would be more accurate). Is someone teasing me? Will I ever get to lick said sippy cup?

I don't even think that my sister is the mean one here. Why? Because, after hours of chasing said sippy cup, after begging and begging, when my sister FINALLY gives up and lets me lick it I come to notice that IT HAS ONLY WATER! Thank you, mother!

Awesome!

Hello friends!

Look what I've proudly got! A new award! It is the Pawsome Blogger Award. Thank you so much, Lola!

I am supposed to pass this award along to 10 friends that bring fun, love, laughs and friendship... and I totally would, if someone could pass along a device that lets me post comments on blogs and links on my posts (which I think I just did on this one - hopefully). And you know I love you all!

Hugs and kisses for everyone!

Chicken soup

Hello friends,

I am sorry for the lack of posts but mom is fighting a cold right now and her excuse before she got the cold is that she needs to get a new phone since the current one (which is being used to take pictures and blog) has 15 cracks in the touchscreen and on top of that, it was accidentally soaked in caramel from the peruvian dessert called Bavarois she bought last week to celebrate my sister's Baptism. Anyway, long story NOT short, she was going to get a new phone today but today she is too sick to get out of bed...

Therefore, us kids are in charge of the chicken soup. My sister will prepare the soup while I eat the chicken!

My very own personal space heater

Good morning, friends!

I hope you are all warm and toasty! It got really cold yesterday - daddy says it was 60 degrees inside the house. That's very cold for us, considering that my family has been going to the beach everyday until this past weekend.

So, it was time to turn the central A/C to "heater" for the first time. It didn't work! Next, it was time to start the logs in the chimney for the first time. It didn't work!

Us babies were at risk of hypothermia, except that my sister is always warm because she sleeps in the family bed. I can't sleep there, not because I am not allowed (which I am according to mom but I am not according to dad) but because I never wanted to. What if I fall? I'd rather be on ground level. Sleepwalking is safer there.

Anyway, mom put my PJs on and kissed me good night. Later, I woke her up. I was shivering, uncomfortable and restless. She could listen my paws on the floor as I tried to find the warmest and softest spot. Me bed is by the sliding door - not the warmest place. But is the softest so I kept coming back. What a difficult desicion for me!

Mom had to wait for my sister to go back to sleep from night nursing #2 (that may go up to #10 if mom can count right half-asleep) to jump out of bed and hug me.

I know I've said before that I don't like to be hugged for so long but this time it was different. We had a purpose - to make me feel warm! She didn't stop hugging me until my last ear was warm. She was clearly taking advantage of how easily huggable I was, I know that.

Then, she moved my bed to the other side of the room, put her fleece sweater on top of the bed, put a warm pillow on one side and placed me on top of it. There I stayed - and sneezed a few times, to my mom's concern - until the next morning.

When she woke up she took me to the vet not because I was cold the night before, as I had thought, but because my monthly shot was due. She was clearly not THAT insane, but I still found it appropiate to have the serious talk with her. "Only because it was very cold, mom. Don't get accostumed to those long hugs - and don't ever dream to do it in public!".
