Happy Thanksgiving!

Good day to stay indoors

Wrapped in blankets es my favorite place to be today.  Es muy frio!

Beach inspection tour today

Mama and I went for an inspection tour of the beach this afternoon.  I am tired and having a nap now, but Mama said she would write and put in pictures of what we saw.

Someone es building monuments out of driftwood.  We saw these, two of them now, in the part of the beach we usually walk.  Here'z what they look like:

This es what Mama calls Beachhenge I.  I don' know what that meanz, pero I like it, as you can see.  That'z me in the blue sweater.  Mama took this picture a couple of weeks ago, it waz a more sunny day, pero colder than today.  It is still there today, which Mama sayz es bueno, that meanz the water haz not come up so high lately.

This es Beachhenge II.  This picture es nicer aesthetically, pero I am not in it, so es not so good, I think. 

We also checked out the building of new dunez.  I like dunez, pienso, so we can have bunnies and foxes and birdz to chase.

There are no plants now, pero people will start the planting soon, and then the birdz bring more plants, until it es a nice place to explore and hide.

Here'z me checking out the equipment.  Very large sand toyz, very nice if you are tall enough.

Someone left a nice wreath on their stairs.  Mama made me not leave a message on it, but I did so nearby.  Just in case some dog I know might be around, he will know I waz there.

And this es me trying to get Mama to stop with the pictures so we can finish our walk.  I waz getting tired, and needed a nice snack and a nap. 

beach walk today

Mom and I went for a nice walk on the beach thiz afternoon.  It waz a little chilly out, but I wore my new sweater, and was comfy.  There waz absolutely nobody out there except us.  Here'z some pics Mom took:

Someone built thiz nice p-mail station.  I used it, por supuesto.

I wish Mom waz home all the time, so we could do thiz every dia.  It es nice when she es home with me.   She es helping me learn how to be an off-leash beach walker, like my role model, El Cid.  I'm getting mas bueno every time.  I figured out that when she callz me, I need to come back.  That makez her happy, y earnz me a treat when we get back to our casa.

trying out a new look

Do you think I look macho like thiz?  I like the earz pinned back look, it es very tough, I think. 

Now that Mama is back, she can help me with blogging again.  You know, I cannot reach the computer without her lap to sit on.  So she took thiz picture of me, and now I am on her lap, and can say what es in my mind.

I waz looking at Facebook thiz afternoon, and found a lovely photo of a girl I would like to know, except she haz kidz, so maybe not such a good idea?  I could get blamed, you know?  So here es the photo:

 

Really, she could be my hermana, you know?  She lookz a lot like me.  The ninos are beautiful, pero I am not sure I am ready to be Papa.  But I could try.  At least they would not have to go to what humanz call college, I do not know what that meanz, exactly, but I understand it es muy caro, and the humanz I know talk a lot about how they need to pay for thiz thing.

I think the bebes look funny with such tiny earz.  I am sure they will have proper large earz when they grow up.  They really are not my fault, but they could be.  I need to consider that some more.  If I could meet una  hermosa Chi, I might be inclined to make bebes with her.  Hmmm....

my buddy Elmo on the train

Mom got this pic of mi amigo Elmo riding on the train last week:

He'z skinnier than me, but has gigantic earz.  We dance good together, too.  He was in his travel bag here, they don' allow us Chis to ride the trains without being in a container, they are afraid we might be threatening to the other passengers.  I think that es a funny way to show respect, no?

Hard work

My guyz were here today working on the fence.  I had to help.  Lucky it es un dia muy bonita.

So for now, we have the invizable fence, you know?  Here'z a picture of it:

Thoze are my guyz working on it.  They took out the green part, painted the postz, and will put in new stuff so it lookz like a fence again.  Right now I can walk thru it, which es nice.

A message from Mom

I spoke with Pablo over the weekend about writing in ingles, not in espanglish, and he told me he would consider it, but no promisos.  I also suggested (gently) that he ought to try using spellchecker before posting, but that got a snarl in response.  So we'll see how it goes. 

I can report that he is taking his vitamins, once we play "chase the treat" with them for a while.  Since he no longer deigns to eat dogfood (unless he can steal it from his niece), his diet apparently can use a boost.  I guess the cheddar cheese with pepadews, the roasted red peppers, and various other add-ins to his human style meat-based diet are not adequate to balance it, according to some sources.  I'm not convinced, but as long as he will eat the half tablet vitamin every day or two, I can manage this.  And we get extra playtime from it.  Tho having him bounce it off my forehead is not the most fun thing I've ever done.  He plays rough.

I also tried to explain to him that the tire tracks on the beach will go away by themselves, but he is not convinced.  He is intent on tracking the perp and biting him.  What can I do?

someone messed up mi playa

 

I feel like biting them, whoever they are, they made these horrible trackz all over mi playa,  didn' ask me before they did, and I tried to find them but no es possible.

Mira, eso es the thing that they did:

To try to make me feel better, Mom showed me this picture of one of my couzinz:

Pienso que me gusta uno de esos sombreros.  He lookz a lot like me, too.

I had a nice day en la playa, there were niecez who are mas noisy, pero un amiga muy agradable.  Esta muy cansada ahora.  Buenos noches....

More action

Hokay, so I didn' know my Mom had got these picturez of me with mi amigo Snickers.  Snickers lives down the block, he is a Chi as well, but with soft, curly long pelo, in un hermoso color which just happenz to complement my own coloring.  We like to get together every day, if we can, and we often dance and do other doggish thingz. 

He also makez funny ruidos, and he watchez me out hiz window when I am by hiz casa and he can' come out.  I wish we had a place we could play without the leashez, or if he could come to the DP with me one day.  Maybe we can arrange it.  I will have my people talk to hiz people.

Visitorz

We had visitorz this weekend, my brother Dave, his SO Anna, and Kaylee, who I guess is my niece?  I'm not so sure about that.  But we tried hard not to look like we were playing, don' wan' to cause any mizunderstandingz in the family, and actually had a muy bueno weekend, until we both got so cansado we wanted to snarl at each other a bit.  I tried to get in the car with Dave when they were leaving to go back home, but he put me back outzide, so I am still here, and Kaylee iz by now probably in her house.

Kaylee haz good food that comez in a can and haz meat and veggiez in it, I scarfed her dinner on friday when they just got here.  Good stuff, but if Mom buyz it for me, of course I can' eat it, it'z the principal of the thing, pundonor, like I learned from el rey de las chihuahuas.

So here iz a picture of me and Kaylee under the kitchen table, which Mom got.  Kaylee likez to get her face in the camera, so it'z ruff to get a picture of her.  I think she'z muy bonita, pero she ez too high for me, if you entiendes.  I think it ez muy bueno that we are color coordinated.

After they were in the car and not here, I took a short nap to restore my energiez.

Grandma jus' came to go for a walk, so I am going out now.  Buenas tardes!

Hola, amigos - this is Pablo, speaking for himself, a new thing which has come about on the request of many of my loyal fanz.  My Mom, beachsiggy, promised to help me with the blog, since I don' type too bueno due to not having thumbs, pienso. 

This picture is not really me, Mom won' allow me to ride with the bikerz, but it lookz enuf like me to be my, how do you say? avatar. 

I am thinking I will try to keep all my peepz up to date on the muy agradable events of my life here at the beach.  If I can get my Mom to loan her camera to me, I will post picturz of my friends and family, the placez we go and the thingz that we do.

Stay tuned!
