Rumble Bee

Mojo is a rumble bee not a bumble bee. Are you ready to rumble with the likes of him?

Jack is laughing on the inside. Mojo, not so much.

Mojo's Identity Crisis

Another lovely note from our dog walker:

"Marshmallows? I never give any of my dogs treats only love. And sometimes I kick them."

I really hope he meant he sometimes kisses them!

Yesterday Mojo came to work with Mommy. We are on a catalog deadline but we needed to relieve some stress so we put a pink tutu on Mojo. He was quite the sport. Eddie Izzard, eat your heart out!

I like how the pink pops against his chocolate fur.

Mojo's sweatshirt says "Rock Star", the pink tutu gives it a punk feel ...heehee!

That Face

Who can possibly resist this face?!??!

Lady and the Tramp

This past weekend Mojo's girlfriend, Peluche, spent the night. He was beside himself with excitment although you would never know it. Mojo is very laid back but a definite attention whore. Here is a video of Mojo and Peluche "wrestling":




Some would think we were having Chihuahua fights in our apartment. Alas, it was only some four legged lovers enjoying eachothers company.

In other news, today has been one of those Monday's where you wish you could just crawl back into bed. This morning on the way to work my flat tire indicator came on. MINI Purl has run flat tires so it is never easy to figure out which tire is the culprit. After I get the tire squared away with some air I head back out on the road. Ten minutes later I was pulled over for doing 71 in a 55mph. Thankfully the police officer could see I wasn't having the greatest of days and let me off with a warning. Bad things usually happen in 3's so now I am just waiting for what may happen next. Waaaahhhhh!!!!

Shake, Rattle and Roll

This morning at 12:59a a 4.5 magnitude earthquake rocked SoCal. Although it was felt by many in Ventura County, I am happy to report all is well in Camarillo. In other news, Mojo peed in my face this morning.

Have a fabulous day!

19 Days

Hello!

It has been 19 days since we brought little Mojo home and life is wonderful. Mojo is completely housetrained and for the past few days he has not put up a fight when we put him to bed in his own bed. Knock on wood this is how life with Mojo will always be.

This past weekend Richard and I took Mojo to a park in our neighborhood. Mojo isn't really a "fetch" kind of dog unless it involves the mice that belong to the cats. In any event we took him off leash and threw mini tennis balls for him. He was not interested so Rich and I played catch with each other. A few more dogs showed up at the park and the party was on. Mojo was having a great time until a small boy picked him up and dropped him ... poor baby! We headed home shortly after the incident.

While at the park we had one of those moments where you feel like an absentee dog parent. We were playing with Mojo when a lady showed up with her dog. She said "Oh, that is Mojo, Aaron walks him". Sadly our dog is more times associated with our dog walker than with us. The lady's daughter noticed that Mojo's dog tag had been corrected and informed us Mojo plays with their dog often. We are missing out on so much of our little dogs little life!

Richard says "Be the ball, Mojo"

Well that is all from us for now. This weekend we are hitting up a local dog park to meet some other Chihuahua / Chixs. Don't worry, I will take pictures ... heehee!

Be well,

Birthday Bonanza

Salutations!

Wow, who knew one month could hold so many birthdays?!?! The past couple of weeks we have been on a birthday bonanza. On the 22nd my Grandma celebrated the big 70 and Eric, Rich's brother, welcomed 30. I traveled to Utah to help Grandma celebrate the commencement of a new decade for her.

This past weekend we celebrated Rich's 33rd birthday. The birthday celebration started Saturday night with dinner at Moz Buddha lounge with friends and family.

Check out the size of this banana split!

Yesterday Rich's birthday celebration continued. We loaded Mojo into the car and headed for the water. Destination: Harbor Village in Ventura. We had lunch outside overlooking the harbor. Mojo had a great time and was rewarded for his good behavior by a visit to The Barket. Did you know they make microwave popcorn with chicken flavor for dogs?!?!

Mojo has acclimated to his new surroundings quite well. I wish I could say Jack has adjusted to his new brother ... heehee! When out for one of our many walks Mojo always walks on the left and can usually walk sans the leash. For the most part he is potty trained and slowly but surely coming out of his shell. I wish I knew a pet psychic because I would really like to know about the beginning of his little life. This morning was not one of Mojo's best days; he peed in my face and ran away from Rich. Naughty Mojo!

Well that is about it for today. I better get back to work.

Be well,
Asya

Say Hello To Our Little Friend

Salutations!

Life here has been busy. Last week we adopted a 5 year old Chihuahua mix from the Camarillo Animal Shelter. After much consideration and numerous suggestions we have finally decided on a name. Say hello to Mojo! Mr. Mojo if you are ... well you know what you are!



Mojo is finally starting to act like a normal dog. At first he was very timid and scared of his own shadow. Now he runs around the apartment as though it is a race track. He still has yet to figure out the cats don't want anything to do with him let alone play with him. Gus-Gus is an accepting cat as she has been around a lot of other animals. Jack on the other hand is having a difficult time. We have our fingers crossed he will come around after some time. If you have any suggestions please let us know!

Be well,
Asya
