Me: did the toy box explode???
Sandy: you put my sock away! I had to find it!

My husband was disappointed he didn't get photos of Tank's heist last night, so we did a photo shoot today. Prisoner uniform and all!

Well, a mystery has been solved. Tank has been mysteriously gaining weight. Although the other dogs are slim and trim, Tank trends toward being...well...a bit thick.

Today, my husband heard a strange rustling sound from the kitchen while the kids and I were out. He went to invesigate, and found Tank hurrying from the pantry, a stack of THREE Ritz crackers in his mouth!

The kids have just been setting their snacks down on the pantry floor rather than putting them away, and then not quite shutting the pantry door.

Guess who has found an unlimited source of food?!

Sorry Tank, parties over. The kids have been instructed to put their food AWAY, pantry patrols will be conducted regularly, and that door shall remain shut at all times.

Can't call him a bad boy though because in our house food on the floor is usually a dog snack.

Our good friends at Rosita's Way. Chihuahua Sanctuary lost their beloved chihuahua, Kachina today. In their tradition, let's light a candle for Kachina to light the way to heaven for her.

Our beautiful “Hello world here I am girl”, Kachina Beans, has flown off to the Rainbow Bridge. 💔

Sandy carried her sock around for 20 minutes until I realized she wanted her picture taken, not to bury it. BEHOLD EVERYONE her sock in bad need of washing

Merry Christmas from the gang! I love all of you and am so glad we get to spend such fun times with the dogs on this page.

Finally did the 2024 Christmas Photo Shoot, on Christmas Eve Eve 😆 Inspired by a photo shoot done by Phoebe the Crestie. But unlike Phoebe who politely sat for the photos, my dogs bulldozed their way through the paper to get treats and demolished the set THREE TIMES. :P

Sandy says that doesn't count as a Sock Sunday post, so here is her carrying hr sock to a new location, after digging the bed so hard she sent small pieces of foam everywhere. Gotta replace the top again 😅

Here's the half-page ad that's going to be in the commemorative banquet program for the DWAA! I'm super proud that Sandy's little face will be in there. :)

I have the opportunity to put an ad for my blog in a program for a dog related event. I did a fun one about Sandy and her sock, of course!

Then I realized I have written hundreds of articles about chihuahuas, and nothing about Sandy and her sock. The shame! I made that right today with this fun post: https://www.allthingschihuahua.com/why-do-chihuahuas-like-to-steal-socks/

I'll share my ad tomorrow for sock sunday! Sandy is going to be famous!! I'm so excited.

It is 15 minutes after dinner time, and Sandy has started to whine loudly. She roots through this bed, sifts through that bed, and occasionally comes over to throw herself against my leg. After 12 years of being her companion, I know what she wants. We look together until she finds “The Sanctioned...

Mom did that thing again where she drags an entire tree into the house. I think it might be a good place for a sock, but I can't really find a place where it looks right. What do you guys think?
