Dobby returns with his squeeky (he loves outside fetch)...and I return from my week of chaos.

Crazy week!

This week has been crazy. I'll update again asap and apologize to all the doggie bloggies I haven't been keeping up with.

Another Award!

2008-07-09T08:55:00.002-04:00

Thanks, Jackson and Patrick, for this great award!

I'd like to pass it on to The Zoo and Crew! They are so entertaining and always have great pictures.

Have a good Wednesday, everyone!

Happy Boy

Sometimes when he gets SUPER happy, all he can do is lay on the floor and wag his tail and wiggle.

Yum, dirt!

Yep, Dobby is on a half-RAW diet. For breakfast he gets kibbles (good stuff with no meat or grain by-products or other junk) and at night he gets his raw yummies. If you've never heard of this kind of pet diet before, google "BARF diet for pets" or "RAW diet for pets" or go to the links in my sidebar to read more.

Go Boston!

Yay Red Sox! Dobby only wishes he could go to Fenway with us at the end of July :)

This is an actual, licensed Red Sox t-shirt- but it's not for dogs! It's made for Build-A-Bear stuffed animals and happens to fit him perfectly.

Scary!

In the middle of the afternoon one day, Jeremy had Dobby outside when Dobby started acting crazy! As it turns out, we had a scary little guest hiding in the bushes just outside the fence...

Two Little Monsters

Two crazy looking little monsters! This was after a spring rain one evening Zinnie was over because her mommie was working late. They insisted in going outside anyway!

Three things about me and a bonus three about Dobby

2008-06-16T10:05:00.004-04:00

Kathryn of 4urpets and The Empty Nest tagged us again! This time with a valid complaint- there isn't much info about me or Dobby on this blog, just awesome pictures of the little guy. So here are three things you probably don't know about me, and as a bonus, three things about Dobby.

I am a huge nerd. I like computers, know some HTML and like to read online web-comics (name drop, you ask? ok, my favorites are Questionable Content, Sinfest, xkcd, and The Mows- all work-friendly). The word "terabyte" gets me excited. I love reading classic English novels and I'm a total neat freak.
I'm also very artsy :) I like to make jewelry, paint, design random stuff, and I spent the first two years of my undergrad 'career' as an art design major. Then I switched to German and spent a year in Heidelberg, Germany, and then finally realised I liked English Literature best (see: "I'm a huge nerd"). So I have a BA in English.
Dobby and I live in a cute little bungalow in Greensboro, NC. I came to Greensboro for school and got stuck here for a while. I like our house but hate the town. Don't even get me started on my job. Hopefully we'll be moving in early 2009.

Dobby was rescued near Charlotte, NC. This is written in the first and second posts of the blog, but who wants to read back that far? I got very very lucky- he doesn't chew on stuff, he is a perfect angel in his crate, and he's very good with other people and most dogs. Lately though, he has un-trained himself on potty pads, and started going outside. I'm sure it's something I'm doing differently, but really, what the heck!
The favorite toy in our house is always whichever toy is the newest. Right now, it is a little rainbow trout plushie from PetsMart. His other favorites are "blue guy" (maybe it is supposed to be an elephant?) and his outside squeeky toy. He looooves plushies, even the big ones for big dogs!
When we go outside, Dobby's favorite thing in the world is to find the tallest piece of grass in the yard and chew on it. He doesn't eat it, really, just chews on it until it falls apart.

I was hoping that this blog would be like The Daily Coyote with all the great pictures that don't really need a lot of words, but it may be more fun to write more often. It's true that there really isn't much info on here! Take a look at the side navigation to see other favorite websites, my jewelry online, and misc. tidbits.

Our first award!

2008-06-12T12:46:00.005-04:00

Kathryn over at 4urpets surprised us with this great award!! We Chihuahua folk like to stick together ;)

I would like to pass this award on to Chloe, who, although she isn't a Chihuahua, is so cute that she really 'makes my day'!!

Thanks again Kathryn!

The Famous Nose-Tuck Move

2008-05-28T11:44:00.010-04:00

Dobby likes to sleep with his nose tucked into a warm spot. I found him on the couch like this...

Oops! I woke him up. He looks extra small in this picture :)

...And he goes right back to sleep, with his nose tucked back in. He snuggles up somewhere at about 9pm and just sleeps until I move him in to the bedroom when I go to bed.

Dog-Sitting!

2008-04-29T12:29:00.008-04:00

This is Zinnia! She came to stay with me and Dobby March 11 through March 18. What a cutie fuzzy girl. She is about the same size as Dobby, maybe a little bigger in the chest and much fuzzier!

Dobbs and Zinnie are buddies. (Hehe, note Zinnie's underbite and silly tongue sticking out!)

They are so sweet. Zin is very well-behaved and is much quieter than Dobby. More pictures to follow!
