"Swine Flu??....zzzzzzz...."

Swine Flu? SWINE FLU!!!?? What is THAT? What about "Chihuahua Flu!?" I'm WAY more concerned about THAT! Oh...wait...there is no such thing as "Chihuahua Flu"....and....I'm just a fluffy little dog. I don't HAVE to worry about Swine Flu...or the crumbling economy....or the narco-terrorists in Mexico...or....hmmmm....

I think it's time for another snooze.

Ohhhh yeah...that's the spot.....

.....zzzzzzzzzzz.....

"It's The Easter Chihuahua!"

...So I get this email the night before Easter. There was a HUGE blizzard outside and I'd been slaving over my blog all day. I had a bad case of "Chihuahua Block." The Bunny (you know..."THE Bunny"...) sent me a note saying, "Dude! I can't get to your house!! Too much snow! Can you take care of it for me? Thanks...I owe you BIG TIME!"

Oh man! First I have Chihuahua Block and now I have to do the Bunny Thing? Well, my peeps had already set out their Easter baskets and gone to bed, so I pretty much had no choice. I went ahead and filled everyone's baskets with candy and a stuffed bunny (hmmmfft! I should have put a stuffed chihuahua in each basket...after all, I was the one doing all the work...!) But my peeps were happy when they woke up, eating their candy and saying, "WOW, that Easter Bunny sure did a great job this year!" Yeah..."he" sure did. Oh well, I got my own Easter basket too, and stuffed it with doggy treats, so I guess it all worked out. Thanks a lot, Bunny...you owe me big time! -Tiny

"Happy Birthday, Jenn!"

Happy Birthday Jenn!

Thanks for being my person, for finding me in the shelter and for giving me a home. Thanks for all of the yummy doggy treats you give me, and the special food you buy me (even though it sorta costs a lot). Thanks for letting me go with you in the car sometimes, and for letting me sleep next to you. And thanks especially for all of the love and hugs you give me.

Love,Tiny

To all of Tiny's friends who follow this blog, THANKS for your interest in Tiny! With the economy in such bad shape these days, pet shelters are overflowing with sweet house pets who's owners can no longer afford to keep them. If you are able, please make a donation to a reputable shelter, or better yet, give a home to one of these precious animals--you will be richly blessed by the unconditional love and companionship of an adopted pet. -Jennifer

"Help! I Can't Feel My Paw Pads!"

Poopy walks are kinda tough when you're only 7 inches tall and the snow is 9 inches tall...

....I sniffed and SNIFFED and still couldn't find my "special place".... I was getting a little desperate...!

Whew! Just in the nick of time!

Now...how do I get out of this snow??

Yikes! My paw pads are COLD!

Isn't it supposed to be spring already??

Ahhh...cozy and warm, snoozing on warm laundry right from the dryer.

Doggy heaven...

"I Do NOT Look Like Smegel!"

I REALLY don't like...

"bath day"

Hey! Can't a guy get a little privacy?

How come wolves and coyotes don't have to take baths?! I'm just like those guys...my peeps just don't get me sometimes.

The only thing I like about "bath day" is when we're DONE! Jenn gives me extra cuddles (so I guess it's worth it after all). Excuse me while I snooze...zzzzz

"Hey! You're Squishin' Me!"

Okay, so here's the deal...I have this bed I sleep on. Jenn says it's "king-size"...but she should really say that it's "Tiny-size" 'cause this is MY bed. I just let my peeps sleep on it so they can scratch me on my tummy while I sleep. That's the ONLY reason...if they weren't scratchin' my tummy every night, they'd be OUTTA HERE!

The problem is...they take up WAY too much room. So I have this little trick. While they sleep, I gradually nudge closer and closer to them. Since they're afraid of squishin' me in their sleep, they scoot closer and closer to the edge of the bed, until they're hanging right on the edge of my giant bed, and then I have LOTS of room! It's a great plan and it works every night! Silly peeps...

"Chillin With My Peeps"

Who says a 4-pound chihuahua

can't be an alpha dog?!

That's why I like chillin' with my peeps...

--in this crowd I'm

DEFINITELY the ALPHA!

"Stop The Madness!!"

Oh!...the utter humiliation!! PLEASE, make it STOP!!!

"Comical Sundays"

Sundays are the BEST doggy days! Well actually, every day is a doggy day--but Sundays are the doggiest!
That's because I get to read the Sunday comics! I like "Marmaduke" and "Snoopy" the best, though I think I need to start a comic strip about ME. I could call it "Tiny's World," or "Tiny Tails"...(get it--tails!) Or maybe I could call it...hmmm...I'm gettin' sorta sleepy...

maybe I'll just take a quick

doggy nap...right...zzzzz....

"Guarding My Person, Jenn"

...So here I am guarding my person, Jenn. I rescued her when she came to visit me at the animal shelter.

I was in a section of the shelter for dogs to be "euthanized" the next day. I'm not sure what that means...I think it was some kind of spa treatment for the extra-cute dogs...

I remember that I had a bad case of "kennel cough" and was pretty thin...my bones were sticking out and I was tired a lot...but when she saw my cuteness she couldn't resist. She picked me up and I fell asleep in her arms immediately. They say that "we" choose our people...they don't choose us...

She sure is lucky...and I take good care of her. Once I overheard her telling someone that "Tiny and I needed each other..."

Yeah...she's pretty lucky, I'd say...

"Feelin' The Doggy Power!"

It's pretty late, and Jenn's sleepin', so I need to make this quick...I'm takin' over Jenn's computer...blogging's MY thing now...I'm the only long-haired chihuahua in the whole blog-world!!! Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you more...but for now, I'm feelin' the doggy power!!!
