Meet Chica Chula

This is our 5 1/2 month old puppy named Chica (pronounced cheeka, for those who are not Spanish speaking).  She is a long-haired chihuahua.  As you can see by her photo, she fits perfectly into the girls' doll dresses!!  She is only 3 1/2 pounds.  She was the runt of the litter, so she will probably stay small.  She has not grown much at all since we got her 4 months ago!  Her hair is just now starting to grow out, so she should look totally different in another 6 months.  She has brought a lot of love and joy to our house so far.  Even LeCount is warming up to her!

Meet Charlee

Check out this cutie!  His personality is even cter than his face =)  Jaden and Morgan are infatuated with him.  We got him on Saturday, and they have been spoiling him ever since!!!  He is a Chorkie (a Yorkshire Terrier mixed with Chijuajua).  He may get to about 8 to 10 pounds which is perfect for us.  He doesn't eat much and he is full of energy.  We named him Charlee from one of the girls' favorite t.v. shows "Good Luck, Charlie". 

BFF (Best Friends Forever)!!

Sparky has a friend named Mocha. They have dug and dug their way to each other. They are, also, tearing up the fence. A couple of boards of the fence have already been replaced, but that doesn't stop them. Mocha is an indoor dog, but she comes out to play a few times during the day. Every time she is out, Sparky runs along the fence line trying to play with her. I guess I need to set up a play date for them. I don't know if that will make the situation better or worse.

What is that noise on the roof?

Morgy has a new favorite food- BANANAS- or as Jaden used to call them- ga-na-ganas. She goes through 2 whole bananas in one sitting. These banana pictures are from this morning. As you can see, the banana doesn't have a chance with her!!! Hahahahaha!!

Then, just a few minutes ago, it started hailing, so here is a picture and video of the hail. In the video, you will also see the charcoal that the puppy got into. He tore up the whole bag. Why would you want to eat charcoal? Anyway...

We finally got a boy!! dog, that is

I know it seems unbelieveable, but we really got a puppy. We picked him up from the animal shelter this afternoon. They think he is about 10 weeks old. They said that even though they think he is a german shepherd mix, he will not be a large dog. He will probably be about 40 pounds or so. Jaden was trying to decide between the names Scamp and Sparky (she got those names from Lady and the Tramp II). I prefer the name Scamp, but she really wants the name Sparky, so I guess that is what it will be. His ears are the cutest feature about him, I think. Now, we are trying to set up the invisible fence so that he won't get away from us. For now, he is staying in the bathroom until we can get it set up. Hopefully, tonight he will be able to go outside.
