The girl had the day off today so we went to the park for a LONG time…

First I peed on the fence…

Hey it starts with a T right? Still Rhymes

I have been in a pretty dark depression for about a week. We are having to move in with my Mother for several reasons… The first of which is that I need to save money and buy a house someday. My mother and I are oil and water. Night and Day. And we fight ALOT. She has some mental illness and is now going through some other healther issues so I am hopefully going to help her out around the house and be there if she has the surgeries she needs.

Im pretty sure I will obliterate my liver while living there.

So because I am so grumpy, blue and down I thought a list of thankfuls would cheer me up…

1) I am grateful for the challenges in my life.
2) Idiot Boy.
3) My creativity that I am getting back in touch with.
4) That Bubbly Baubles is taking off and I am having fun with it.
5) For the fuzzballs in my life. How they make me laugh and how
they snuggle and love me unconditionally.
6) For bubble baths (which I will not be able to take when we move)
7) For Chocolate. Seriously. THANK YOU FOR CHOCOLATE.
8) FOr still having my grandparents ages 94 & 95 who still live alone and are still married!!!
9) For my Pappa Bear. Best Father in the world.
10) And I am thankful for my bloggy buddies and the little blessings in their lives.

See I feel better already!

Check back later I got some great shots from the dog park this morning!

Pip Squeak the teeny tiny itsy bitsy chihuahua

Posted in chihuahua, dogs, puppies with tags , , , , , , , , , on March 7, 2008 by thegirl

She is 5 months old and came in today for some puppy shots.

She is the length of our stapler.

The rest of her body is almost the same size as her head.

I considered putting her in my pocket and stealing her. 8)

Holy Work Batman

Who knew this site was gonna be so much work???? I love it though – I have 10 of my lil creations for sale to benefit rescues around the country. I have more to load but I haven’t figured it out well enough to do it quickly.

Can everyone check it out and give me some constructive criticism? I have a great new logo on its way that is WAY better than the yellow bubbles!

thanks!

dsc01532.jpgdsc01545.jpg
This is Milhouse. He is my Uncle. The Girl’s brother. Grandma’s dog. He is a puppy like me. He lived in a bad man’s attic and didn’t get to go outside. The man lived near our old house (before the girl found me) and The Girl said to the bad man, “you have two options… give me the dog or I call animal control and have you arrested”. So the bad man gave her my uncle. He was so happy to be loved and cared for. Grandma loved him most and now he is her doggie. He is a really loud barker and I think he isn’t very smart but he lets me climb all over him and growl and pounce so I love him.

And last but not least – the love of my life…. The Girl…

Bathtub Cat

Posted in chihuahua, dogs, Lil Dog Luv, love, rescue, treats with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on February 29, 2008 by thegirl

Knuckles is unable to blog tonight. He has taken to his pillow with the vapors. hehe

The cat with no name is now Louisa May Alcatt Bathtub Cat. But we are just going to call her Louisa May. She obtained her last name because she retreats to our bathtub when she is nervous.

The two cats don’t know each other. So we are dealing with lots of new things and new moments!

Lilac was definately the favored name. But Louisa May Alcatt makes me laugh!!!

It feels amazing to have saved these cats from the shelter. Last night and tonight they are in a warm, loving, spoiled atmosphere with an angry yet curious chihuahua and a new mommy! Now… if we could all just get along with no hissing/barking/scratching…

– – – – – – – – – – – – LILDOGLUV.COM UPDATE – – – – – – – – – – – –

So the etsy.com temporary store will be up and ready by Sunday!!! YAY!!! Here is the address for that.

I am soooo excited to start this!

Uh Oh. The C-Word

Posted in bad day, chihuahua, dogs, love, rescue with tags , , , , , , , , , , on February 28, 2008 by thegirl

Knuckles here…

Today was a bad bad day. It involved the C-Word!!!! That’s right. CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure what the girl was thinking… I am not happy with her… but she went to the volunteer place and came home with two of them.

HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME?????

This one she named “Harmony”

dsc02994.jpg

and she is only 1 like me. But the other cat (with no name) is 7 years old. The girl says that means she is lucky but I think it means I can beat her up.

The other one won’t come out from under the couch but she hasn’t named it yet.

Maybe they are for eating? I tried to taste one of them but it scratched me with its nasty C.A.T. paw. And then The Girl yelled in her mad voice. Then she had water come out of her eyes because she didn’t mean to yell in her mad voice. Humans. Can’t live with em. Can’t live without em.

Do I need a shot to keep from getting the CAT cooties???????????? EEEEEW

I am mad at The Girl. I am sitting on the floor all the way on the other side of the room making my saddest eyes (like when I was in the shelter) and not snuggling her under the covers making my happy snuggle noises. That’l teach her to bring home felines.

She keeps saying names outloud. Here are the ones she is saying. What does everyone think?

minnow
fable
orchid
temperence
verbena
Good Rachel (after The Girl’s friend)
Flapper
Mary Margaret
Miss Priss
Lilac
Louisa May Alcatt
Nya
Imogene
Luna

K we got the other kitty to hold still…2-5.jpg

Weeere Baaack, and the angry Knuckles Bunny…

The Girl and I have been working hard on the jewelry for the other doggies with no homes. So we took a bloggy-vacation.

At first we will be selling the stuff on Etsy.com because the fees for a store online are too much right now! The Girl has been having sooo much fun creating again! She wishes she could do it all the time!

Here is the aweful picture of what The Mean Bad Girl made me put on my head. She said I am the Easter Doggy and then she laughed. I was NOT happy. This is my not very happy face.

The Girl is laughing right now. I am gonna eat one of her shoes for this!!!
