Killing Field

Here is the Chihuahua standing over the carnage of his favorite toys. He has about 10 of these cat toys scattered around the house. The toy bird chirps when moved so it keeps him occupied from time to time with something to play with.

Since the pooch isn't a chewer we don't worry about him ripping the toys open and swallowing the motion activated chirping device from the inside. He really prefers this toy over all the others.

On occasion he goes on a little Chihuahua rampage and stalks, attacks, "kills" and brings his victims home to the living room. To his little doggy brain these birds are representative of actual captured prey and in his view a really impressive ten minutes work. After his "kills" are gathered up and placed into a grouping he stands protectively over them and howls, proclaiming his victory and alpha-status as a provider for the pack.

It's a lot less amusing and cute at 3 a.m. in the morning.

Beware of Dog

My dog is cool and he is not like those other stupid pets a family members owns. His name is "LT" and my mom says it is after some San Diego football player but I disagree because they suck and are choking wussies and it really means "Lotta Trouble" or "Little Tyke" depending on what he is getting into.

"LT" is a smart Chihuahua who protects our house by hiding in the flowers and alerting us to evil-doers.

But "LT" does not work for free.


"LT" hears a cry for help from the open sewer line and investigates. Is Little Timmy trapped again?

"LT" slams the lid on the open pipe, muffling Timmy's cries for help. "LT" is of the opinion anyone who falls down a small pipe is too stupid to have a TV Movie of the Week made about them.

Good dog.
