Another Visit

What a week I had! This chi must be famous because two of my favorite aunties came by this week. Today, it was Auntie Koukla. She is so funny! She and mamas were hungry, so they made pasta, fusilli. They would not give me any. I have to say, even tho, for the most part, Auntie Koukla is very cool, she didn't even try to slip me something. I was quite upset. She and I always match. She loves to wear black and white. She gets mamas to love to wear black also. At least, when she picks me up, she never complains about my fur getting on her. She never sees it! I do know someone in her house who does not like when she hangs out with me, Perri. He was the one who I had my play date with the other night. I think we are having one again this weekend.

Mamas is trying to do laundry tonight, but it is not working so well. The washing machine is not doing its job, so she cannot wash my schmancy outfits. I will have to wait until she goes to Best Buy tomorrow to get a new washing machine and dryer. I hope they have luck tomorrow. I really would like to have my clothes laundered.

Ayer

Yesterday was insane. I will tell you all about it. Yesterday was not like any other lazy Chihuahua day, it was a day of excitement. My normal wake up time is 6 AM, then again at 7:15 when papas gets up. I woke up with mamas and papas when mama's alarm went off. I went back to sleep and woke up with papas, did my morning routine of running and barking and jumping. When papas was ready to go to work, Auntie Danielle showed up to play. She said she was going to hang out with me. We sat around, she watched television and studied and I sat on her head. I fell fast asleep and then when she and I were all comfy, the doorbell rang. It was two southern gentlemen who came to bring in the bed.

You see, mamas and papas bought a new king sized deluxe four post bed. It is SO tall. I look like a teeny tiny chi sitting on a big huge black bed. I love it. Nero tried to get on the bed last night and I scared him away with my big boy bark! He ran ran ran, but then Papas yelled at me!

I had a great day because I saw so many people and got to bark SO much. I also pooped a lot for mamas and papas to pick up! Teehee!

Hoy

Hoy I was woken up AGAIN too early. I do not understand why mamas and the papas do NOT understand that I need my chihuahua rest. Mamas should know, I am a sleepyhound. I love to rest because I have to run around and bark when they get home. The papas did come home today for lunch, so I was not alone all day. After my luncheon with the papas, I took my afternoon nap, woke up, barked at some people walking in front of the house and left a huge present for the papas to come pick up when he got home. Mamas went for her massage and came home right after papas, so I yelled at them both simultaneously. I was unhappy that I was alone, however life was much better once we were all home.

noche buena

My Day

Well, I was woken up by mamas and papas this morning, way too early! I was NOT happy about that. I did want to stay in bed. Nevertheless, I got up, ran around, and tried to leave to work with mama. See, she promised to take me out yesterday, and, alas, she did not. So, when she was leaving for work today, I tried to hitch a ride. She did not take me. I hung out with papa until he went to work and waited patiently for our luncheon. He never showed up. I was home all day by my lonesome. I did not get my banana. I was very sad. Much to my surprise, mama came home and called Auntie Koukla. We got dressed in my Juicy tee that says "Anarchy in the dog park" and we went to the mall. I stayed in the car with Auntie and we hung out. I slept on her lap and mama went into get her laptop fixed at Apple. She came out a bit happier, so I knew life would be good. She took us to A.C. Moore. She is trying to get a side job as a jewelry instructor. I know she can do it, but we didn't see a sign for the position, so hopefully she will get it. I wouldn't mind a bit of extra chihuahua cash. It goes a long way. I do love my presents. I am a pampered poochie!

So, after A.C. Moore, mama and Auntie and I went to rescue Mama's laptop and we went to Auntie Koukla's house. She has a poochie named Perri. He chased me around sniffing my tush. You know that is how dogs greet each other. I have to say, I am not into that tho. I like to sniff Pia's tush :) She is my chick. ... We came home. Mama left Auntie's house and we drove home to Papa. He was making dinner for Mama when I came in. I was so happy to be home. I had to potty. So, I got undressed, went to potty and barked a bit. I yelled at papa for leaving me all alone for lunch. I ran around, kissed Pia hello and went to sit on my perch. The merlot colored cashmere blanket was folded on the love seat, so I went to sit on it, gave my paws a bath and fell fast asleep.

Oh the Good LIfe...

Planning ahead

Here I am again. I called my Grandpa Mark and gave him a suggestion to add to my painting. I can't hold a paint brush but I would like to add a soft feathering effect to my work. So I decided to dip my long feathery tail into the paint and drag it across the work. If I could do that in several colors, it would really add some color. Then if I SAT in two separate colors, I could drag my fuzzy butt over the picture. Man oh man, would my mama enjoy washing me after than painting session.

I am going to have fun with Grandma Zoya and Grandpa Mark. I can get away with anything with them. They are real easy with me. They let me do whatever I want. They spoil me like crazy. I am so soft and cuddly. Who can resist this cute, adorable little face, these soulful eyes looking up at them? They automatically melt like soft chocolate. Then they are putty in my hands and I can go to work and get whatever I want.

I am going to ENJOY my stay with the Vestermans!

Back home!

I went home last night to my newly decorated mansion, driven by Grandpa Tom, Grandma Ellie and Cousin Johnny from New Jersey. My mama greeted me at the door and was so happy to see me. She gave me hugs and kisses and couldn't stop herself. I guess she REALLY missed me BIG time. So, I can start barking again soon. And I can keep them awake!!!!!

Pia was waiting for me in the bedroom on our bed. We danced and cuddled and hugged and kissed and had a wonderful time together. She is such a great girlfriend. I really missed her. We are so compatible, such soulmates -- even though she is a beautiful gray and peach striped cat and I am a black long-haired, well-dressed. chic, handsome, debonair, sophisticated, wealthy, well-bred Chihuahua. She obviously recognizes class when she sees it.

I called my Russian grandparents, Grandma Zoya and Grandpa Mark last night to arrange a visit to their Russian spa next Thursday. I asked Grandma Zoya to make me some borscht and her special chicken patties. She knows I love them. If I bark, I get my way there too!!! I know how to work those humans also.

Grandpa Mark is an artist. He paints magnificent paintings. Mama and Papas have them hanging all over the house, on every wall. Grandma Ellie also has two and they are very special. Grandpa Mark said he is going to teach me how to paint with my paws. I think he means that I am going to put my paws in the different color paints and walk all over the canvas. That is going to be fun. Mama is going to like that -- washing my paws!!! Maybe she can sell it on Etsy. It can be an original Agador. I can earn my first dollar.

I guess it's time for my mid-morning nap. Writing these blogs takes a lot out of me. See you next time.

On Vacation Again...

When my humans go out, I quickly make a reservation for the private Agador Spartacus de luxe suite at La Mirador Cullivan. As I told you previously, I am driven here in my private limousine by the chauffeur, who carries me in my Coach Signature Travel Bag.

The bag is lined with two or three handmade blankets crocheted by my Grandma, while I wear an original design sweater also designed by her. She uses only the finest yarns. They are usually hand dyed and no two sweaters of mine are alike. They are one of a kind originals.

Again, I am greeted by the hostess Eleanora in her long flowing black caftan. It has some funny letters on it that I don't understand. But, as usual, I have a selection of treats: choco-yogurt drops and greenies. My pillows are fluffed and plumped on the antique raspberry sofa. I opt for a massage and leg exercise from Tom while I view Happy Feet. I enjoy that movie about the dancing penguins. It makes me feel like dancing with my "sister" Cassiopia Isabelle. I think I will call her and ask her for a date when I get home.

After my massage, I will go for a run of several laps around the perimeter of the spa, in and out of all the rooms, under the furniture, over the beds and stop for a drink at the doggie bar. The selection of Tap Waters is so refreshing and enervating. I can retire to my master bedroom for a leisurely nap on a king size bed with 600TC Sateen Sheets. This is really the lap of luxury!

Next week I will be staying at my Russian grandparents for a night. It is very different from here because they speak Russian to me and I don't understand it. However, they do spoil me because I know how to work them, too. I bark and they give me treats. My Russian Grandma, Zoya also makes me borscht. It's a kind of beet soup and I love it. She cooks different than my Italian Grandma, but she spoils me just the same.

I love BOTH sets of grandparents. They are really good to me and spoil me lots.

I am going to stay with Grandma Ellie and Grandpa Tom one more night. I hae to see how much more I can work these humans and see what I can get. The de luxe treatment at this spa will end tomorrow because the owners will go away for three weeks.

and Again...

I wish I had a camera to show you the luxury of La Mirador Cullivan. I have fluffy white pillows on a raspberry velvet antique sofa. My pillows are fluffed every time I get off them by a very congenial staff. There is also an elegant selection of colorful hand crocheted blankets that are made especially for me by my Grandma.

Last night there was a visit from Jean and Gaspare, two friends of Grandma and Grandpa. All I had to do to get attention and an assortment of treats was to bark a little and they were mine. I had them eating out of my hands. It took very little effort on my part. I know how to handle these humans.

Tonight, Grandma's cousin Jenn and her almost fiance Ray came for a visit. Jenn came to show Gram how to use her new camera. I barked and got them to serve me my choco-yogurt treats. It was a cinch. Then I performed some cute tricks and I was the subject of the first pictures of the new camera. Man, did I have these humans eating out of my hands.

It certainly is easy working these humans, much easier than working my servants at my house. They are wonderful people, but not as soft as these old people here. I love these old softies here. All I have to do is give them that soft, soulful look of my eyes.

I am enjoying my deluxe spa visit here at La Mirador because I know it will be the last one for a long time. It will be closed until Easter. But tomorrow, I am going for a long ride around the neighborhood to see the sights in my chauffeured limo before being driven home to my roomies and my servants. I will be sad to leave Grandma and Grandpa, but I will see them again before they leave for Syracuse.

Vacation. . . Again

My two servants went away for a few days so I booked a deluxe weekend package at my favorite spa, La Mirador Cullivan. It is located on The Bluffs overlooking the Narrows with a magnificent view of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

When I arrived on Friday in my chauffeured limousine, I was greeted at the entrance by the hostess Eleanora in a long flowing pink caftan. She served me a tray of my favorite choco-yogurt treats. I was then escorted into my suite where my pillows were fluffed and arranged for my early massage and nap.

A lunch of tuna and tomato was served with a fresh beverage of Tap Water by Chef Thomas. I then exercised by doing several laps around the perimeter of the property. A visit from the afternoon masseuse, Maria eased the muscles from my laps. She also stretched the kinks out of my legs. Again, a nice long nap in the sun. Did I tell you that each window has a beautiful sunny exposure to the sun and I am always warm?

I am happy at La Mirador because someone is always with me. When I am home, Mama goes to work early and Papas leaves after her. Papas comes home for lunch and he gives me treats of bananas and greenies.

But when I am at La Mirador, I am spoiled and waited on by servants and Grandma and Grandpa. They can't do enough for me. I am really a spoiled royal. All I have to do is to go near the kitchen and they feed me. If I snuggle on the sofa, they cover me with blankets. My every wish is their command.

For dinner I eat Kibble al Fresco in the Salon. I then take a few laps around and a soak in the whirlpool before going to bed. I like to read People Magazine with Grandma. It's my favorite Friday night treat, or I watch Syracuse basketball with Grandpa. I fall asleep in his arms on his chest.

I love coming here and I look forward to spending two or three nights a week here.

PS I saw a bag that has a new sweater that Grandma is making for my birthday. It is really neat. She makes me great stuff.

The Spa #2

Today I leave the spa. I am going back to my roomies and my parents... I hope they will treat me as well as my grandparents....

At least I can scare the cats and maybe snuggle with Pia!

The Spa

Hmmm... There is a Spa that I frequent. It is pretty nice for Chihuahuas. I go there a for days at a time. See, I have told you in the past that I live with two roommates, and they can make life difficult at times. I take them with a grain of salt, but I do like to bark at them. Anywho, I am definitely all about the spa. It is an all inclusive spa. They have massage, three meals a day, snacks, exercise, if you like, sleeping, meditation, television, and entertainment.

I definitely suggest you take a trip to the spa if you have wayward roommates and if you are in need of good solid vacation time!

More about me...

I have two roommates, and two servants.

One roommate is a striped cat named Nero Fat. He likes to eat and sleep and bother me. What he doesn't understand is that I am the favorite of my servants.

My other roommate.. well she is a stunner. She is a calico kitty named Cassiopeia Isabelle. Let me tell you, she is a true belle. She is from the South and she lets you know. She has taken me as her boyfriend and we love to play hide and go seek. She is usually the one seeking and for obvious reasons, I am hiding. She is a constant in my life and we get along swimmingly. She likes to make out with me and has taken to recently giving mama a stye in her eye. She loves to do her makeup on mama's makeup vanity. The only problem with that is that she leaves her paw prints all over the mirror, so it is easy to see that she has been around.

My other two roomies; what can I say about them?

First, there is the Papas. He is a big galut and he loves me. I am sure he loves me more than the cats. He recently came into the picture with my mama. I was around first. I keep reminding him of that, but he seems not to notice. He recently has taken to having lunch with me on a daily basis. He gives me a banana or a greenie or something else that is fun to eat. I love treats and I always get them from him. He is a sucker for my sweet face as he always says! I have him broken in!

Lastly, there is the Mama. She is my mama. I love her. That is what Papas always tells her. Truth be told, she is the apple of my eye. I love to sleep on her. She is warm and smushy. She loves to squeeze and kiss me and I do not mind. When I was a tiny little scruffy thing, and we first met, it was love at first sight for both of us. She picked me up out of my cage full of other bum chi's who were stepping on me and held me so tight I fell right asleep. I knew she would keep me safe and warm, and she has. One thing she used to do when I was little was sing to me. She still does it, not as often, but I do love to listen to her lullaby's. I always fall asleep when she sings. Who am I kidding, I fall asleep all the time.
