Lazy Ears

Furfriends, you all know that Chewy is 100% certifiably a Chihuahua, but he is not your average Chi. Chi's are supposed to be around 5 to 6 pounds (that is the standard) but Chewy weighs around 12 pounds!! Also, he is very big for a Chi too. And the other thing that makes him different from Moi, your standard Chi, is that he has floppy ears!

No, they do not stand at attention like they're supposed to, they flop over. Mom said that when he was a puppy, his ears did stand straight up for two weeks, but then they flopped back down and have stayed down ever since. Mom calls them "Lazy Ears" because they are too lazy to stand straight up, BOL!

Butt....when Chewy is sleeping and his ears are sleeping too, they sometimes forget they're supposed to be floppy and...they stand straight up! And look, I have proof of this phenomenon!!

Exhibit 1: Chewy is fast asleep, butt his ears are sticking straight up.

That's okay Chewy about your floppy ears, we still love you!!

Paw it Forward Pressies!

We got our Paw it Forward box from Avery!

Look at the note from Avery, it says "Chewy & Lilibell, Thanks so much for playing Paw It Forward with me. I hope that both of you enjoy your new pressies. With lots of love, Your furpal Avery." He is such a cutie, I think that Lilibell, and even Mom, have a crush on him!!

Look Chewy at all the cool toys we got!

Avery hit the nail right on the head with all the toys he picked out for us, we love furry stuffed toys and every single one of them that we got we just looooove!

Okay Mom, let's get the tags off the toys now.

Yeah, Mom, hurry up!

A carrot! We love real carrots and now we have a stuffed one to play with, BOL!

Lilibell, this is like Christmas in July with all of these toys! I just don't know which one to play with first!


Avery, thank you so much for the pressies, you are the best!

Avery, I love you!

Now, our turn to play! Instead of picking someone, because that would just be too hard for us, so the first one of our furfriends to leave a comment will be the next honored recipient!

On Vacation!

Hello furfriends! We just wanted to let you all know that Mom is on vacation this week, so we will not be around that much. Butt we have caught up on everyone's blogs to today and hopefully at some point this week we will try to catch up again. Please don't be offended if we don't leave a comment on your blog....we will read all of them butt as we have so many friends that it would be hard to leave a comment on everyone's, especially if we have a lot of catching up to do!

We don't have a lot planned for Mom's vacation as we're having a heat wave up here and it's just way too hot to do anything outside. The weatherlady said that with the humidity the heat index is going to be over 100!! We have to say that there is one disadvantage to living in the city as all the buildings and concrete just capture the heat and it feels like you're walking into an oven when you go outside, BOL! Mom said it's even too hot to go to the beach. So we're just going to spend time with Mom in the AC and snoopervise her as she gets caught up on her sewing and jewelry making.

Butt, we did have a good 3rd of July over at Granma's house!

Here's our Auntie Suzanne. We had a lot of fun going for walks with her around the yard and up and down the street and we got lots of petting and lovin from her.

Granma, Chewy's in da house, let's get this pawty started!!

Like my Fourth of July vest? Yes, Mom made it. She's thinking about going into business selling her outfits as we think she does a pawsome job on them!

And Twix, to answer your question, yes, Mom did make me a red, white and blue necklace to go with my dress!

Then on the Fourth, Mom and Dad decided to take a day for themselves and spent it on Block Island. For those of you who have never heard of Block Island, it's a small island off the coast of Rhode Island. You need to take a ferry to get there, which takes about an hour. We said it was okay for them to go because we needed to relax after our busy day at Granma's.

This is them on the ferry going over there

And this is Block Island

Mom said that she rushed back home because she knew there were fireworks going off in the neighborhood and she knows how much fireworks makes us nervous and anxious. Rhode Island just passed a law making non-aerial fireworks legal, which meant that there were lots and lots of fireworks going off!! We are so glad the Fourth is all done with because now it will be a lot quieter around here!

So furfriends, we hope you all have a great week and we'll see you soon!!

Birthday Cake Recipe

Hello everyone, the Mom here! I've had a lot of requests for the recipe for the birthday cake I always make for Chewy & Lilibell's birthday, so here it is! This cake is very safe for dogs because it has no sugar or salt in it.

Peanut Butter Carrot Cake
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter (I use the all natural smooth peanut butter, the brand is Teddy's)
1/4 vegetable oil
1 cup shredded carrots (approximately 2 carrots)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg

Mix flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into greased 8" round cake pan (I use a small bone cake mold) and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool.

For the frosting, I've used smooth peanut butter in the past. For Lilibell's cake, I used 1 small tub of fat free cream cheese and added enough strawberry jello powder to make it pink. Instead of cream cheese, you can use low fat yogurt mixed with jello.

Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Lilibell!

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday dear me
Happy Birthday to me!

I'm 2 today!

Mom had a doggy birthday pawty for me on Saturday. Sally Jean and Auntie Lisa and Auntie Julie came by to help me celebrate!

Is Sally Jean here yet?

Nope, my honey is not here yet.

She's here, let's get this pawty started!

Mom made a hamburger with steamed broccoli and carrots for the birthday dinner.

And she even made her famously delicious doggy birthday cake!

Of course, Chewy, being the piggy that he is, just had to have the first lick.

Furfriends, Mom makes the BEST birthday cake in the whole world!

Don't you agree Sally Jean?

Huh, what? Sorry, I didn't hear you Lilibell, I was too busy eating my delicious cake! Hey, have your Mom give my Mom the recipe.

Then it was time for prezzies.
Hmmm, I wonder what I got?

I got from Auntie Julie a soft green bone toy and also a rope frisbie thingie! And my BFF Sally Jean got me a trophy toy that says #1 Pet and on the bottom it says "My Best Friend."

Then it was time to play some pawty games. Sally Jean and I played "Tag, You're It."

Mom, you are the bestest. Thank you so much for my birthday pawty. I love you Mom!
