Beading Buddy Fail..

I was working on a necklace for a friend this weekend and Cori wanted to snuggle on my lap.  Sounds good to me because who wouldn't want a snuggly warm puppy on their lap, right?

I scoop him up and plop him in my lap and tell him there are two rules for being Moms beading buddy.  Dont eat the beads and don't eat the string.

Well it took all of about 20 seconds before goofy-butt is spitting a little mouthful of teeny tiny beads out all over my lap!  hahahaa  Thankfully he just spit them back out since they are actually glass.  But talk about not following instructions and its not like they smell like chicken or anything!!  Geez!!!

Of course he is currently licking the laptop so who knows with this boy!

Anywho... keeps your eyes peeled for some updated pictures and a 'Fashion Show' in the coming days!!  That's right!  The chibabies got some awesome new clothes made my Susan over at  http://www.etsy.com/people/blueridgecrafter  and I cant wait to show them off!!  :-)

Wordless Wednesday: The Guilty Face!!

Gets a little hard to deny with pee pad fluff in your mouth now doesn't it?

Monday Mischief: Why I Like Dogs.

You know, there are some really great reasons to have dogs.  Of course there is all that standard stuff of them being loyal and cute and all.  But there are lots of other great things about having a dog and since I'm feeling a bit 'mischievous' myself today, here are my top 10 reasons for loving my dogs.  :-)

1. No matter how much junk food I eat they still look at me like it was a great idea to get yet another piece of candy.   
2. They are always happy to see me, even when I have screwed up royally. 
3. They never remind me that I'm in hour 4 of the most pointless computer game known to man.  
4. They enjoy slothfulness.  The more sloth-like I become the happier they are.  That just means more company on the couch for them and they love it!  
5. Entertainment value.  Dogs do insanely funny things like shiver and mope with sour cream on their little faces or chase their tails or just entirely 'miss' the couch.  
6. They make confetti and who doesn't like confetti.  Every day I go home and feel like I've just entered a New Years Eve party there is so much confetti in the living room.  
7. They appreciate the simple things in life, like chicken cookies and lost tissues (useful for making confetti).
8. Their impressive athletic abilities never cease to amaze me like when I'm putting on a sock and Fen jumps out no where in a crazy matrix move, grabs the sock and is gone..   
9. Dogs in clothes.  I never seem to tire of dogs in clothes.  They do, but I don't.  There is just something intrinsically cute and cuddly about dogs in clothes.  And it's like playing dolls which was my all time fav as a kid and where playing dolls would be weird, somehow dressing my dogs up is not.  Go figure.  
10. And well, who couldn't love these perfect little faces!!

Does Your Dog Have ESP?? Mine might!

I was sitting in Barnes and Nobles checking out some dog books when this one caught my eye.

Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home: And Other Unexplained Powers of Animals

http://www.amazon.com/Dogs-That-Their-Owners-Coming/dp/0609805339

Well if that title doesn't get you thinking I don't know what would.   I was pretty intrigued.  It's a great little interesting read all about animals and dogs that know when people are sick or when their owners start heading home for the day.  Even dogs that knew when their owners died in wars hundreds of miles away.  


But that is only half the story.  You see I have a little boy Chihuahua.. my Susu who always knows when we are going to be sick. He velcros himself to the soon to be deathly ill person about 24 hours before the current plague hits.  A clingy Susu often means it's time to get some extra vitamin C and clear your schedule for the week because you are going down.  


However, he cannot fathom what on Earth I could possibly be yapping on about whenever I say something simple like... oh, I don't know SIT.... !  Always thought that one was supposed to be easy but not so much around here.   The boys are so opposed to sitting that I'm starting to think the cold floor is just not getting along with their hoolahs.. so they are just like.. 'uh.. nope.. not gonna do it.'  


But while I was reading about dogs that knew when their owners were coming home.. dogs that can predict seizures.. and all the other amazing things that dogs can do I had that grand 'light bulb' moment of all moments!! 


What if I close my eyes really really tight and focus all of my mental ESP energy on Susu sitting.  Would he then suddenly be like 'Oh so THAT'S what all the fuss was about' and just sit??  It's a long-shot but if it worked, this would revolutionize my life with dogs..  

It would be like using The Force on the Chihuahuas.. How awesome would dog training be then.

Anywho, I'm gonna go try to 'use my mind' to get my dogs to do stuff and I'll get back with you in a few days on this.. I'd love for you to try it too and let me know if it works.  Afterall, this Jedi Mindtrick stuff is only gonna be as good as the mind doing it and well.. I'm currently going to try using my nonexistent Jedi powers to get my dogs to sit so what does that tell you??   


Have a great day everyone and Go Have Some Fun!!  It's SATURDAY!!  

Monday Mischief: There's a Sandwich in the Crate.

Okay, we are currently out of town (big high five to hubby for making the internet happen).  So we get all packed up and have this awesome idea that the crate set up in the back seat will be perfect for the 3 Chihuahua puppies to ride along on this 5 hour drive.

That lasted almost to the end of our very short driveway.  Fen was howling.  Cori was crying. And well Cinna was looking about as annoyed with all that racket as we were.

So as our babies are rather spoiled, out of the crate comes everyone.  There nice laps to sleep in.  Happpy little Chis everywhere.  Well, mostly on me.  I held 4 chis on the drive and Bill got one.  Jordan decided she was a 'no doggie zone' as that really interferes with playing on the 3DS.  (insert loads of eye rolling here please)

But, not to worry, the crate served its usefulness anyway.  Since we had 5 dogs roaming around the car the crate became a safe haven for the food.

 

Whatever!!

Gotta love it when you just catch them in the act!  Hahaha!!

Time for Monday Mischief again!!

Well as you can imagine, with 5 little Chihuahuas in the house sometimes there is a lot of competition for the Monday Mischief post and this week I have 2 very mischievous boys to tell you about!!  

Fen had the Mischief of the week title locked up on Wednesday with a smooth move that just couldn't be beat!  I think I'll just let the pictures tell this story...

Poor Cori!!  Bad timing got him a face full of dirt!!

I think Fen was just too busy digging to notice though.. 

But little Cori just shook it off and went on his merry little way.  

But then of course, Susu decided he wanted to be in the Monday Mischief post too!!  So Thursday I came in from Christmas shopping after work with a child to 5 little cuties and the usual mayhem of dogs bored all day.  

Rounded everyone up and into the yard for some much needed playtime.  And then rounded everyone back in.  Now let me tell you a little something about Chihuahua puppies.. no matter how many times you move puppies there are still puppies in the way.  It's a special trick performed simply by being puppies when there are 3 of them.  

And then I spot this little thief!!

On the desk, hiding behind present bags eating a hushpuppie leftover from Jordan's lunch!!  So of course my natural reaction is to grab the camera!! LOL  

Hope you enjoyed the laughs and the mischief as much as Susu enjoyed that hushpuppie!
