Say YES to Bacon

I've only tried bacon a few times in my life. Once, a friend of Linda's had some on a sandwich and I got to taste a tiny crumb. The other time was at the Bagel Cafe. We were sitting outside and one of the workers bought me out a tiny piece as a treat. Since Linda does not cook bacon, the chances of me every getting to taste bacon again is non-existent. For real lovers of Bacon, you can now buy them a gift basket with 2 bottles of Bacon flavored soda, cheddar bacon popcorn, bacon lip balm and bacon gravy. For only $10, it's a bargain for sure. The guy who does the iwantbacon.com blog is probably ordering one for everyone on his Christmas list. I don't like the pig nosed kid on the bottle on the right though.

Dirty Dog

Linda said I am so dirty that I need a bubble bath. It's not my fault though. Jerry took me on the trail today for an hour long trek. We went into the brush, walked over mulch, passed the streams, trudged over wet leaves and even waded in some mud. It was seriously the best walk of my life. My feet and knees are caked with dried dirt. If I want to sleep in Linda's BIG BED tonight, she said I have to have a bath. Actually, it will probably feel good to be clean. I love my Saturday's with Jerry while Linda is teaching classes. Next week he'll be on a business trip, so I'm going to have a long, lonely Saturday. Anyone want to come and play with me?

P.S. My bath really was nice. I smell wonderful and feel fresh as a daisy!

Danger! Alligator Crossing

What would Linda do if an alligator chomped on me and dove under the water while I was kicking and yelping in it's jaws? I hope she would do exactly what this Florida man did for his little Jack Russell. The man and his pooch Lizabeth were taking a walk when an alligator came charging out on to the path and grabbed the dog. Luckily, the man was carrying a gun. He shot the alligator and it finally let go of his dog. He dove in and grabbed the poor lifeless pooch. The dog was already dead. The man started performing CPR and the dog came back to life, choked up water and started breathing again! Lizabeth is still at the Vet being treated for bites and water in his lungs. I hope she makes it.

DoYou Noah How Cute You Are?

Linda spent some time this evening with Gretel and her 2 day old baby. Baby Noah is just the most adorable baby ever. He is almost 10 pounds and 22 inches long. She looks so happy holding him. Ever since Taylor and Tierney, she has wanted another baby. I think if it was at all feasible, she would adopt a baby right now. She'll just have to wait until Sarah and Taylor have a baby for her to spoil. For the time being, I am her baby. Even though it is cold out tonight AND she was tired from two classes today, she still took me for a long walk at 8:30 p.m. It was so dark we could not see where we were going. There is a leash that has a built in flash light right on the handle. We might have to buy that since it is getting dark so early now. Then, instead of heading out to a friends house for a little party, she decided to stay home with me and snuggle. Life is Good. I am one spoiled little Chalupa.

Mama

I had to tell Linda to take a chill pill tonight. The last few Thursdays, she has been obsessed with getting home from her class in record time. She finishes her last class at 7:30. After she cleans up and signs the payroll book, it is usually 7:36. Tonight, she got in her car at 7:38. She HAS to be home at 8:00 (I promised I would not tell why), and it is usually a 15-20 minute drive. The last few weeks she did it in under 15 minutes. Tonight, it took her exactly 11 minutes! She hit all the lights and there wasn't traffic. She was so hyped up that she made it so fast, she forgot all about my supper. She felt bad I had to wait, so she even chopped up one little shrimp in my regular meal. It was so good, I hope she forgets to feed me more often. (I googled chihuahua and shrimp and this photo came up. I'm not sure what it has to do with shrimp, but it's pretty darn cute!)

Scared of the Scarecrow

It was downright freezing this morning during my walk. There was frost on the grass and we could see our breath! My coat from last year is a little bit small on me, it must have shrunk in the wash. (Except Linda said it hadn't been washed at all. Ummm... I wonder why it is tight then?) We went down a different street then we normally walk and I saw this horrifying scarecrow in someones yard. I would not walk past it. Linda picked me up and showed me it was not scary, but I still would not even look at it. I don't like all this Halloween nonsense. People ringing the doorbell 20 times an hour. That just made me crazy.

Hope it Was Soap on a Rope

This past Saturday a family was surprised to find a burglar hiding in the attic. Police were called and they found a 47-year old man hiding in the attic with the loot he stole from the families home. It wasn't money, jewelry, or anything you would normally think a burglar would steal. In the mans hand was a little bar of soap shaped like a bear. Imagine what will happen when he goes to jail and tells his mates that he is in prison for stealing a teddy bear soap? Yikes.
