The Painter Pack : The Pack is still in need!! Please help!:  

A fellow blogger is in need of our help!  i know that those of us in the DWB community would never turn our backs on anyone (or animal) especially someone in our own DWB community.  I understand that for some of us money is tight and we cannot spare the extra for a monetary donation, but warm wishes, encouraging messages, and prayers are always welcome (and encouraged).



We have all rallied together and called on Power Of The Paw when our furkids were ill and i have full faith that we can use POTP for this situation too!

Warmest wishes, Tail Wiggles & Puppy Kisses from our home to yours,




Coco The Princess, Lady Godiva, & Truffle!

Colder than a Chihuahua's toenail...

Hello to all my fellow fur-kids!  Winter must be here because it is colder than a Chihuahua's toenail!  My sisters and i have never experienced a cold like this before we moved.  We had carpet, and mommy always kept our house super nice and toasty and when she would get home, she would blast the heater some and my sisters could huddle in front of it.

But now...we have hardwood floors and the heater is no longer in the wall so we cant huddle in front of it so we have been left to other options like after mom leaves for work, we dig up her freshly made bed and make doggy igloo's to bundle up even though she leaves us a bunch of our favorite fuzzy blankets on the bed.

Truffle's "I'm cold" face

Lady Godiva helps keep Truffle warm

Truffle made a doggy igloo out of mommy's fuzzy robe

CocoBean made a doggy igloo out of mommy's robe too

But...as with all of our posts, you know mom has been up to something...she had custom fleece pajamas made for us at TailsMeAboutIt!

The lovely lady named Vanessa over at TailsMeAboutIt has dogies that get cold and need pajamas like us!  Our pajamas are made out of super soft fleece and fit us so perfectly!  They keep us warm and even have a turtle neck to keep our little necks warm too!  

Vanessa is a HUGE animal lover like our humans!  Vanessa's two dogs are who inspired her to start creating and making elegant handmade dog collars, clothes, beds, and more!  Vanessa's shop TailsMeAboutIt specializes in providing us FurKids with classy, elegant, and well made collars, pajamas, and beds that are strong, functional, stylish and pure fun! 

Stop by TailsMeAboutIt and check it out!  Her items are very well priced and the quality is outstanding!


PLUS...we got Pawdicures!

CocoBean is Pretty in Pink

Lady Godiva is my little Lady in Red

Truffle is Perfectly Purple

And of course, as you all know...we Chihuahua's LOVE fruit and veggies...Mommy was having baked fish for dinner and we were VERY interested in what we though was an orange that mommy was squeezing on her fish.  Mommy kept telling us that we wouldn't like it but we insisted so mommy let us try because she said she wanted to see if we would pucker.  Here is a video of it:

Have any of you ever had one of these pucker fruits before?  Did you love it like my sisters and i did?

I hope you are all staying warm and cosey!

Tail Wiggles & Puppy Kisses,

Coco The Princess, Lady Godiva, & Truffle too!

***Just to be clear, we were not compensated in any way to write about our pajamas or where our mommy purchased them.  My mommy is so happy with the purchase that she asked Vanessa permission to name-drop and post a link to her etsy page.  We are writing about these because we want to share the information of a well made and affordable product that we feel our fellow Furkids could benefit from with the upcoming winter months.  We would also like to thank Vanessa for being so kind as to let us mention her on our blog.  THANK YOU VANESSA!***

You wont believe whats new...

or rather, whats been going on...

Truffle went to the beach for the first time...

We have learned how to "beg" and mom is less than thrilled about it...

And Mommy found an injured baby squirrel that she named "Mumbles" because he made cute little mumbling sounds while she was cleaning (preening) his feathers which made him fall asleep...it really was cute.

Mom is happy she found out how to redo her access into blogger but it bummed her computer took a huge boobles and now she has to update the blog from a different location.  Mom is working hard and saving up her money though so she can get a new laptop.

Something REALLY cool happened in our home though...you see, Grandpa was feeding/sneaking us LOTS of human foodables and we got "fat"...well, let me clarify...Godiva and I (The Coco Bean) gained weight and grandma started calling us engorged tick's.  I thought mommy gave us stuff that is supposed to keep away the biting bugs but somehow Godiva & I turned into them!  Truffle on the other hand...well...she stayed at her healthy and perfect weight of 9.8 pounds while Godiva & I got up to 7.6 pounds!  mom was NOT happy.

So, she put us on Primal doggy food!  we started off with the freeze-dried-raw, and now we are just on the raw and we L O V E it!  it is so super yummy, our poobles has decreased by a good 80% from what it was on the other vet food we were on and we are back to our healthy weights!  Lady Godiva is back to her 4.7 pounds and I am back to 5.3...YIPPEE!

More to come later.  Me, my sisters, and my mommy sure miss blogging and we sure miss you all!

Tail Wiggles & Puppy Kisses,

Coco The Princess, Truffle, & Lady Godiva too!

Guess Who...

Its me!  The CocoBean  and my cousin Moose-Lips (A.K.A. Abbie)!  Our nicknames have gone wack-a-doodle-doo since we moved but that's a WHOLE other post!

Mom figured out Blogger!...well, kind-of...but she figured out how to get in and make a post so were off to a good start!

Here is what our holiday photos came out:

 

Mommy & Daddy went to Disneyland...

 and they didn't take us! So while they were away, Truffle practiced and mastered the art of pooping in shoes - yes you read that correctly...and Truffle has PERFECT aim!

My sisters and i have learned other new tricks too!  Our favorite new trick is to hang out around Grandma's feet while she is in the kitchen cause she ALWAYS drops things that are super yummy!

The dynamics our our hierarchy have changed quite a bit:

Truffle has turned into quite the "good girl" ...i mean she has REALLY turned into a SUPER goodie good girl!

and LOVES to cuddle all the time

Lady Godiva is ...well...She's still the same super sweet little Lady Godiva with one exception...she is downright DEMANDING about getting attention.  But shes cuter than a button so its hard not to let her get away with it.

LadyGodiva is still on Phenobarbital twice a day to keep the seizure monster away and it seems to have worked with one exception...Every once in a while she has what mommy calls a "neurological hiccup" and she goes all bobble-head on on us and isn't able to walk so mommy has to take her to go to the potty and hold her up while she tries to go potty.  Luckly, she is usually back to normal withing 24-48 hours but it is a lot of work and stress during that time because while we hope for the best, the truth is we just dont know if on day we wont be able to pull her out of it.  Thank GOODNESS for P.O.T.P!  It has really pulled her out of some dark woods!

When LG has these "neurological hiccups" mommy keeps her close and the house quiet

I help mommy keep a watchful eye and i stay cuddled close to LG...

But sometimes Truffle & I really need to burn off some steam so I'll take a break from watching LG and we play a good round of bitey-face!

I on the other hand have decided the following:

1)  Regardless of Mommy & Grandma's comments about me "becoming a REAL dog" make no mistake...i am STILL a Princess and just because i am stating my own Independence doesn't make me any less of a Princess! 

2)  It is colder than a ducks butt on a frozen pond in the dead of winter where we live now - so i decided that i am entitled to help myself to any of mommy's warm things ...like her hat for example...it fits me quite nicely!

3)  I have found my voice and i not only LOVE the sound of it, but i think everyone else should be entitled to my opinions too!  Yep, this once barkless (by choice) Chihuahua has FOUND HER VOICE and is NOT afraid to use it!

4) i am no longer the "perfect" & "civilized" Chi that i used to be - if i dont like something i let it be KNOWN!  i will grumble, squirm, show my teethies, and yip and any human who tries to do something to me that i do NOT like (i.e. when the vet tries to take blood, or the nice girls try to do my nails at the nail place) and i particularly do not like it when i am on my humans lap and one of my fur-kid-relatives try to take my place...then i REALLY show my teethies and grumble (even though i end up sharing 1/2 the lap)

5) regardless of my unwillingness to be "Perfect" i am STILL a princess and I expect to be treated as such

Its getting late so i'm going to head off to bed...

Were Alive & We REALLY miss Blogging iwth you all!

My sisters and i miss blogging and visiting you all so much...life has been a little crazy to say the least.  Mommy's company got gobbled up by the company that bought them and now mom is starting her own business because she says that she is too smart to be relying on people to determine what her income should be and that she should be in charge because when it comes to income the sky is the limit.  Now, i don't know exactly what all that means but what i do know is this...  Our mommy is one smart cookie, and she has been doing a lot of something called "studying" for HOURS on end and she came home all super happy talking about passing some "State Test", so we know that were going to be ok...actually, were going to be more than ok because that's what mommy promised us.  And mommy has been spending a lot of time making sparkly stuff for our Uncle Chris and Auntie G's wedding...here are mommy's shoes

Now, enough about mommy and lets talk about me and my sisters and our new life!
We spend lots of time in the living room hanging out with mommy while she reads

and we REALLY like hanging out with our Grandma while she and Grandpa are in the living-room because they are SUPER cool and they don't have any rules like mommy...  well, the do have a FEW rules like "go potty outside not in the house" but they let us beg for food and thats a BIG "no no"with our mommy.  Grandpa is particularly a softy to us fur-kids and just cannot say "no" to our big brown eyes

and speaking of Grandma...she gives us ALL KINDS OF STUFFS!  like PEANUT BUTTER!  OMD PEANUT BUTTER!  This a pic of Truffle was taken last week...

Grandma asked her if she wanted a treat and well, who could say "no" to THAT word!  Little did she know hat Grandma was going to smoosh this peanut butter stuffs on the roof of her mouth and on the back of her teethies!  but O M D was it DELISH!  Oh yea...Grandma knows whats up! 

(thanks for holding out on us for the past three years mom!)

Its getting late so My sisters and i need to get mom to bed because she is getting up early for a hike where the coyotes live that wake us up at night (well tell you all about that tomorrow!)

Tail Wiggles & Puppy Kisses,

Coco The Princes, Truffle, & Lady Godiva Too!

JUST RELEASED: Operation Occupy Your Toys !!!

It was happening right before our eyes...Our home...it was changing...things were being put in boxes...Mom sold our sofa...and then the unthinkable happened...our beloved toys...they disappeared. At first it was only one here and one there bu then it started to happen more frequently and it was large numbers of our toys that were disappearing more frequently. And one day...all of a sudden it happened...we woke up one morning and they were gone...Each and every one...G O N E !

And that was when we called on you, Our fellow Fur-Kids; to come together and help me start a movement. A movement against something we ALL feel so strongly about...and with that i bring you:

OPERATION OCCUPY YOUR TOYS!!!

Here are those who stood beside Me and my Mafia! Writing Posts and signing petitions! Showing our pawrents that WE are in charge of OUR stuffies and that they have NO right to take them from us...not under ANY condition!

Lucy, Betty, Elvis & Jake

They have the idea...two ghostly lookouts and a gold guard dog!

Shiloh 'n Shasta

Dachsies With Moxie
Da Weenies of Florida

Cinnamon - LOVES her stuffies to death
Tessa The Maltese - this Princess will wake from a dead sleep if she suspects a stuffie is in danger!

Mr. Pip
Mayer Frankie & his Sidekick Ernie
Nola

Shasta
Togo, Tagar & GambyWyattNora B. WebsterAnd now... What you ALL have been waiting for...
THE CHIHUAHUA MAFIA

“MONSTER” The Chi Shark -

Watch out if this one’s been sent after you! The Mafia Leader she works for is FIERCE! Monster fools everyone with her goofy appearance but her intimidation tactics are as gentle as a rattlesnake’s kiss!

“MIDGIE” (aka The World’s Tallest Midget) - The Mafia Leader.

Don’t let this cute face and yoga ear fool ya… She’s the brains of the group! You’ll know when you see Midgie because she is always accompanied by her sidekick.

“POPEYEE” The sidekick -

This little one is all bark and no bite. Midgie keeps her around because she’s got the “stink eye” down really good. She makes Humans hearts melt and fellow furkids shake in their fur coat!

“Moose Lips” The Cavalier Head Hunter -

Moose Lips has that whole Spaniel thing going for her. Yea, she looks regal but shell hunt you down with that nose howling the whole time. There’s no escaping the sent trail of a Spaniel like this one

“Bug” The Land Manatee Bodyguard -

Sure, she looks like a water retaining sea cow, but this bodyguard is a force to be reckoned with. Once this top dog catches sight or sound of you, she’s like a wrecking ball! This is EXACTLY why a ring leader like Midgie keeps her around!

We tried reasoning with The Parental Unit, even using cuteness...but after MANY failed attempts, I sent my sidekick Popeyee to do what Popeyee is most notorious for...the Stink Eye!

I had all your petitions (posts & Photos)...all i had to do was get The Parental Unit to READ them...when Popeyee's Stinkeye dindt work, i decided i needed to double up on my defense and send in some backup...

The Parental Unit did not budge...I knew we were on our own. So i sent my Mafia on a hunt! Each one had specific tasks. WE WERE GOING TO FIND OUR STUFFIES!

Monster looked in the Food binbut had no luck so i had Bug keep a watchful eye on the foodables area while i sent Monster out with my driver in the Fido-Rido to scope out the neighborhood and see if anyone heard or saw anything. Monster learned that there was a sixth dog in the house that we did not know of. and that there was only one place in the whole house where this sixth dog could be found or seen...and you have to stand in front of the closet doors to see this dog...

"OH! YOU THERE! Who are you!? Why do you look exactly like me!?"

"COME OUT HERE! TALK TO ME! TELL ME WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY BOSS' STUFFIES!?!?!?"Popeyee looked in bags while Monster tried to persuade the sixth dog in the closet doorWhen that landed us no results i went out side to the new place of "hurry hurry" to see if i could catch the sent of our stuffies if i stood down breezeAnd then i smelled something...is it what i think it is!? is it!? Is it the slight whiff of a stuffie with a squeekie inside!? So i had Monster and Bug stay watch out side while i investigated the smell of something familiar...

"Yea Midgie...I smell it too!"It is! it IS our stuffies! Its not all of them...but this small pile is a few of our favorites! Bug inspected them to make sure no harm had come their wayOH THE HORROR! They have been in the WASH! they are CLEAN! But thanks to Bug she helped my sisters and i get them nice and drooly!

We must take this stand together! they are OUR stuffies and squeekies! hey are not to be wahsed or discarded unless it is by US! So chew them, leave teeth marks in them, de-stuff them, shred them, drag then through the mud, pool, pond, lakeor anywhere else yoru parental unit does not want them. they are OUR Stuffies and Squeekies and we are free to do with them what WE please! We MUST teach our Parental Units their place in life...It is OUR world and they just live in it!

Viva La Resistance!

The Chi Mafia, Mosse Lips, & Bug

P.S. Stay tuned for the sequal...where are they now...
