Christmas Week!

A quick round-up of December Fun!

Dobby loves the little heater!

Dobby helps my best friend, R, write a final paper.

Dobby has a nice visit with Zinnie!

New News!

Alright, I'm still here! (Sort of!) Our most recent news is that my beautiful little bungalow just sold. So Dobby and I are moving this week! It will be a little crazy for a while, I admit, but I fully intend to post at least once in a while :)

I have been in this house for 4 years, and it is the only house Dobby has ever lived in with me (3 years). I hope he adjusts well to the move! Here are some pictures of Dobby enjoying our house... in memory of all the good years spent here.

Dobby loves the deck:

Dobby loves the comfy, cozy living room:


Dobby loves the fire place:


Dobby REALLY loves the deck...



Here's Dobby the very first time I brought him home, to this house:


He was so skinny! That was also before we remodeled the kitchen.

Goodbye, house. We will miss you!

Sorry!

I have been really lazy about updating for Dobby lately- sorry! Hopefully soon I will get back in the swing of things :)

Dobby's date

Dobby said he had a lovely time with his Princess Coco. He got home very late last night... so he is just sleeping all day today! You really wore him out, Coco ;)

More computer troubles!

The computer has gotten to the point of no return and will be wiped sometime in the next week or so... luckily I have everything backed up and won't lose much. In the meantime, I won't be able to post- so here is a little something to tide us over until I can return! (Zinnie is visiting this week!)





We'll be back as soon as possible :)

We love fall!

(Dobby helped pick these pumpkins and gourds out!)

I have always been a huge fan of fall- and Dobby is, too! We love the cool mornings, perfect for snuggling. We love the warm- but not hot!- afternoons, great for lounging out on the deck in the sunshine. And recently, we've discovered the joy of chilly evenings in front of a fire :)

Last year my fireplace was in questionable condition... but we had it serviced, and now can enjoy it all winter long. Dobby loves the fire- it's gas, so it doesn't put out too much heat, but it puts out enough that he notices. He is fairly uninterested most of the time when it's burning, but once in a while, he will walk up to the fireplace and just bask in the glow. I think the light from the flames makes him nervous, but after I turn the fire off- when the heat is lingering on the tiles- he likes to just go stand by it; warming his little butt.

We all know chihuahuas love warm stuff!! :)

Where Dobby Sleeps

A long, long time ago Dozer tagged Dobby to show the places where he sleeps. Dob has a couple of beds, but doesn't really use them....

Zinnie uses this green bed when she is visiting more than Dobby ever does.

You might recognize this bed as the one Dobby fights with- he never lays in it.

Dobby has the cutest, tiniest little crate I've ever seen! It's adorable. He does sleep in it once in a while, especially in the evenings if he wants quiet time. He also knows the command "Go in your house" and will stay there without the door closed if I ask him to.

This, as you know, is "The Nest" and Dobby sleeps here almost all day every day. He loves his nest so much that if the blanket is folded up he will make sad eyes at you until you make him a nest. He also knows that his blanket = safety. He is much calmer on car trips if he's wrapped up in his blankey.

The best place to sleep, though, is obviously the big bed with mommy. <3

Eeyore

My mom got Dobby this little Eeyore at a yard sale. It crinkles when you squeeze it, and Dob likes the fuzzy hair.

Dobby's Favorite Perch

Dobby loves to sit on top of our green couch. From one end, he can watch out the back doors, and from the other he can see the front door. Sometimes he sets up camp for a long shift of guard duty, complete with snuggle blanket.

Back in Action

Got my stick drive in the mail last night! Here are a few old updates before we get to more recent pictures.

Zinnie was visiting, so Dobby got some good snuggle time.

Ahh, so peaceful :)

Happy New Year's Eve!!

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Thanks for all the Merry Christmas wishes- we had a great time with the family in Maryland. I hope you all had a great holiday, too! Now we're back in North Carolina and happy to be spending time with 'Daddy' again.

I seem to have "misplaced" the stick drive I keep Dobby picture updates on- here is a rather old one of the two of us until I find it :)

Dog-Sitting!

This is Zinnia! She came to stay with me and Dobby March 11 through March 18. What a cutie fuzzy girl. She is about the same size as Dobby, maybe a little bigger in the chest and much fuzzier!

Dobbs and Zinnie are buddies. (Hehe, note Zinnie's underbite and silly tongue sticking out!)

They are so sweet. Zin is very well-behaved and is much quieter than Dobby. More pictures to follow!

Another sleepy morning

Little did he know that later that very same day... we'd have a temporary addition to our family! Details and pictures to follow ;)
