A few days ago, I heard the doorbell ring. It was a package being delivered. Chiquito barked his head off, as usual. This time, though, he didn’t stop. He attacked the box, biting and growling at it. Once I saw who the sender was, I smiled. It was Chiquito’s prize for winning the Hartz Angry [...]
We won! – Angry Birds Photo Contest
January 26, 2012 · by ·
I don’t enter voting contests often because the feeling of rejection when I don’t win doesn’t feel that great and I hate refuse to bug all my family and friends to vote for me over and over. If it doesn’t involve me… then that’s a whole ‘nother story. Back in December I entered Chiquito in [...]
A snowy surprise
January 12, 2012 · by · 4 Comments
While we were expecting a little rain on Monday afternoon, the SNOW was a complete – but welcome – surprise! Enough to make snowmen and even break in our new sled… The REAL treat was seeing Chiquito’s reaction to snow! Being from Mexico, he had never seen the stuff before! Not quite sure what to [...]
Hartz Angry Birds pet products [closed]
December 11, 2011 · by ·
Our dog, Chiquito, has been with us for almost 6 months now. The novelty of having a new dog has worn off just a little, so I try to keep things fresh with some fun toys. It gives my daughters something to do with him and gets them running around, having fun, which is SO [...]
Pet safety during the holidays [expert tips]
November 30, 2011 · by · 1 Comment
We’re pulling the Christmas decorations out of the attic this weekend… and I’m thinking that I may have to change the way we do some things since this will be the first holiday season that we have a dog! Did you know that the holidays are one of the most dangerous times of the year [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Zebra dog?
November 2, 2011 · by ·
Chiquito was supposed to wear this zebra costume on Halloween. It’s soft, and has the cutest tail ever! But all he wanted to do was chew on it. So we passed the costume on to a friend. By the way, those of you who guess Maura would be Ariel… you were right! Disclosure: Costume provided [...]
Fall outerwear… for a dog

Yesterday I posted some photos of our dog, Chiquito, wearing his new Dog Squall Jacket from Lands’ End. He loves it – and so do I! – so I thought I’d share where I got it, since it’s a great deal. If you have a small dog, that is. Originally $24.50, this jacket is on [...]

There are no words to describe the cuteness! (But I may be biased. )
You Capture: Peace

I bought Chiquito this little slipper toy at the pharmacy the other day and he’s obsessed with it. He bites it and it squeaks, delighting him every time. Maya thought it was strange that they don’t sell the slippers in pairs! “Who would only want one slipper?” It’s a dog toy, I say. “But it [...]
Wordless Wednesday: a (wo)man’s best friend
August 24, 2011 · by · 4 Comments
Not-So-Wordless Wednesday! This little guy has quickly become my best buddy. Chiquito follows me around all day, from the kitchen to the laundry room, out to the garden, and back. The bathroom, now that’s where I put my foot down. But no matter how long I take, he’s always waiting for me with his tail [...]
A bittersweet blessing

Two months ago, I posted some photos of my grandma’s adorable dog, Chiquito. Sadly, my grandma has since moved back to Mexico, to spend her last days there, and gave her beloved Chorkie (chihuahua/Yorkie) to us. A bittersweet blessing. The girls and I have fallen completely in love with him! I could take photos of [...]
