My Mommy is Upset

I have not been a good boy lately. I have been barking up a storm and have been going potty in places I am not suppose to. Instead of being a happy puppy because I got a new brother I have been a big pain in the butt. My mommy is upset with me because I am not behaving. She thought it'd be fun for me to have a playmate and I am not cooperating. I've just been used to having all the attention for the last 6 months and I get upset when my mommies are playing with Buster. He is a good doggie and I know he loves me but I get jealous.

I HATE Monday'!

Monday's are blah, everyone goes back to work and I have to stay home alone :o( So I lay in bed, under the covers or pillows til I absolutely have to get up. This morning I got up, said hi to mommy #2 and Buster and as soon as they left I crawled back into my mommies bed til she left. I can't wait til she gets home. I know she hates them too and would love to just stay in the bed napping all day :o)

Bring Your Pet to Work Day

Today is bring your pet to work day and guess what? I am at work with mommy. I not helping out much but hey it beat being in the play pen all day.

Celebrate! Make a Difference.

Every dog has its day. And if you are looking for the perfect way to celebrate your pooch while positively impacting the lives of homeless dogs everywhere, you definitely want to be a part of Pet Sitters International’s Take Your Dog To Work Day®.

What is TYDTWDay? It’s simple. On Friday, June 23, 2006, pet sitters, animal shelters and businesses of all sizes will come together to recognize the great companions dogs make. PSI, along with Modern Dog magazine and others, will join pet lovers around the world to celebrate man’s—and woman’s—best friend.

This annual event, now in its eighth year, brings people and pets together in a special way on a special day. Dogs go to work. Hearts are touched. And as a result, homeless dogs will be adopted. PSI’s Take Your Dog To Work Day is the day for dogs.

I am 7 months

I am back :o) I am not going to let some little surgery keep me down for long. I am 7 months old today WOW, can you believe it. It feels like just yesterday I was 8 weeks and I had just come home to my new house. I weighed less than 2 lbs. I got weighed at the vet on Monday before my surgery and I weigh 8.8 lbs now. I'm a little piggy. As you have read already in mommies post yesterday, I have a new brother. Hmmm, maybe he was my birthday present? I really like him although I keep pretending I don't. I worry when he whines and believe me he whines a lot. He will be 3 months tomorrow so he is still little and trying to get used to all of us. He was with his doggy mommy and daddy a lot longer than I was so I think he misses them and that's why he is a bigger baby than I was. I can't wait til he gets a little bigger so I can play with him. Right now I have to be gentle because I am much bigger and when I try to play with him and I end up squashing him :o( I think it'll be fun though to have a little brother and a companion to play with since I'm home alone during the day. It'll be fun too when he can go to the Chihuahua meetup groups and we can play together at the park. He needs all his shots first though before that. This weekend will be a mellow one for me but that's okay cause it's suppose to be really hot and I dont' like the heat. Maybe my mommy and daddy will take me to the beach for a long walk.....hint, hint.

Here is me the day I came home to my mommies and daddy in Walnut Creek.

and here I am today....handsome aren't I?

Update by Patch's Mommy #1

Patch is at home recovering from his surgery. He is doing well, a little too well actually. He won't calm down and relax. He was pretty quite on the way home and slept in his car seat. He was even moving slow for a bit when we go home but after a while he was running around playing with his toys. He even ate. I guess the anethesia didn't bother him at all. It's going to take a week or so for him to heal. We won't need to go back to the doctor to remove stitches because they are on the inside.

and now for some more news...hee, hee.

Patch now has a baby brother. On Saturday we went and picked up the most adorable little guy, his name is Buster.

He is a pure bred Chihuahua. I believe his mom weighed about 6lbs and the dad about 4-5lbs so this little guy shouldn't be much bigger than that. Although I am not holding my breath on that since Patch was suppose to be smaller than 6 lbs and now he is at almost 9 lbs. Patch is going through phases of being nice and wanting to play and phases of being mean and pouncing on him and not sharing his toys. I think in a few weeks they will get a long just fine and be best buddies. Buster LOVES Patch and just wants to follow him around, cuddle him and play. It is super cute. When Patch gets better he'll tell you all about it.

Here they are playing with thier bones but as you can see Patch is close to him but not too close. YES, they have matching shirts on :o)

I'm bored

I am at work with my mommy today and although Ithought at first it'd be fun, now I am bored. My mommy is busy working so she can't play with me and even though I get to run around the whole place on my own I've run out of things to play with and I don't feel like taking a nap. Although I probably should since I heard that later I get to go play with Brenda's doggies, Ernie and Sunny. They are Border Collie's. I haven't met Ernie yet but I've been on a play date with Sunny before. He's fun. I think my mommies are taking us all to the dog park. I can't wait but it's kind of hot out so I'm not sure how much running around I'll want to do.

Oh, here is me today...hard at work...NOT!!

OUCHIE

I am getting neutered on Monday :o( I am not very happy about this at all but I guess it needs to be done and now is a good time since I am still little. I will go in at 7:30 am and spend the day at the vet. My mommy will pick me up around 4 or so. I know she is a bit worried but I am sure everything will go just fine.

This weekend I get to go to my chihuahua meetup group in Dublin. It's my favorite of all the groups. I can't wait to see everyone. Since I'm having surgery it'll be the last play date I have for a few weeks.

I can't wait til my mommy gets home. She bought me a new shirt today, actually it's a West Coast ChoMper tank top :o) woohoo. I will post a picture tomorrow.

Here is a picture of me in my other cool shirt that mommy #2 bought me. Did I mention how spoiled I am?

Peek-a-boo

For some reason I can't upload pics to yesterday's post so I'll add them to today's. Here is the pic of me relaxing on Sunday after the day at the park, beach and having to take a bath.

Onto the peek-a-boo story. As you already know I get silly in my play pen when I'm bored. A couple of weeks ago I decided to turn my bed upside down and lay on it. Last week I decided that I would lay under it. I figured if I hid then my mommies would get worried about me and come to my rescue. Well that didn't work, instead they got a good laugh out of it and it prompted a picture taking session *SIGH*

I also like to hide in the morning. My mommy usually gets up and takes me out of the crate so I can go potty then she puts me on her bed and allows me to lay there until she has to go to work. My routine is to hide underneath the covers. I am hoping one day she'll forget I'm under there and I can stay in bed all day :o) so far that hasn't worked. Here is a pic she took of me one day while I was being lazy and didn't want to come out.

In a few weeks I should be receiving my Doggy Driver's License :o) and here is the picture that will be going on it. I am so hansome aren't I?

Well, hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm sure I'll have some more fun pictures and stories to share next week. On Sunday I get to go with all 3 of my parents to San Francisco and watch their friends in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon and then at noon we get to go to Chihuahua Cha Cha I can't wait. I've heard it's a lot of fun and I'll get to meet and play with new friends.
