Let's Talk Favorites

¡Hola Amigas!

I'm Chica.

Aren't the interwebz the best invention ever?

I mean, how else could I talk to you? You're human. I'm a Chihuahua.

I belong to Maxie. She's been my human since I was a puppy. She lets me cuddle in her lap. Maxie has a soft lap. And its warm. Do you like laps? Laps are my favorite thing.

Unless I have a chew. Or a squeaky toy. Or a Milk-Bone.

Or the times we go for walks. I love walks. Do you like walks? Walks are my favorite thing, too.

Oh. Carol isn't here. She left this note:

Hey, everyone!
Today I'm visiting Hart Johnson at Confessions of a Watery Tart. AKA Alyse Carlson, author of The Azalea Assault. She's interviewing me, and you know her. You may learn something you would never have guessed about me. One more thing, please. I'm dogsitting Chica, Maxie's Chihuahua. She's a feisty little thing, so don't let her get into any trouble while I'm out. I'll see you Friday. Thanks.
Carol

Uh-oh. Squirrel!

Chica sounds adorable.

Hey Chica!! My husband likes to lay his head on my lap so I can scratch his head. I have a feeling you two would get along great! I loved your role in the story.

Now, go get that squirrel! Get 'em!

Teresa - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Julie - LOL, some days I feel just like I'm buzzing from flower to flower. Hope I'm spreading enough pollen!

Medeia - I loved writing Chica and Maxie.

Linda - I had to jump in for Chica. She was distracted by the squirrel. Then it was birds. The neighbor's cat came out, and that caused a huge ruckus. Now she's napping.

CarrieBoo - You'll have to ask her. She woke up, went outside, and now she's curled up again. Her little paws were moving earlier, so I guess she's chasing that squirrel again in her dreams.

Alex - Gotcha!

Nutschell - Chica says hi.
:) Adorable post. I love dog-sitting. Mostly because my last dog was such a grump (I loved him anyway), it's nice to have happy dogs around!

Carol Kilgore said…
Bethany - Laughing about a grumpy dog. I've known some of those.

CATachresis - Austin is probably bigger than may Chihuahuas! Thanks for downloading! Enjoy :)

Popping on over...
Now that's what I call a S-T-Y-L-I-S-H little pooch!

Some Chihuahuas I know are real skittish dogs but lots I know are super friendly.

Awh,Chica sounds like a character.
I had a lovely chihuahua called Tansy she lived into her 17th year.

Off to check out the interview.
Shelley Munro said…
Thank goodness we don't have squirrels in New Zealand. Our puppy would luv squirrels!
Carol Kilgore said…
Madeleine - Awww...Tansy sounds like a sweetheart.

Shelley - No squirrels. Amazing. They are everywhere here. You have the bird I saw on your blog that we don't have. I'm sure there are other things, too. New Zealand and Australia are on my wish list.
