Chihuahuas and birthdays, oh my!

I've been a bit preoccupied with things for the past few days, so I haven't been blogging and commenting much (My apologies!). Firstly, I have been pet-sitting an itty bitty four pound Chihuahua named Gaby in my house since the 3rd. She is the cutest little thing! We have all fallen in love with her- well, everyone except Sookie that is. I think she is jealous of all the attention that Gaby has been receiving. There are enough people living here that she is still receiving plenty of attention as well, but since I am the one caring for Gaby I have not been able to spend as much time with her as I normally do. However, Gaby is going home tomorrow so I will be able to spend more time with my baby girl once again. Obviously we will all miss her when she goes, though I think she will be returning on Thanksgiving week which I am very happy about since she has been such a wonderful and entertaining little house guest. Hopefully by then Sookie will have adjusted more to having her around!

Here are some cute photos of Gaby:








And here's one of Gaby and Sookie together (It's not hard to tell that Sookie wasn't very happy about having to be so close to her!):




For some reason, Gaby tends to spin in circles. Not sure if it is related to anxiety or if it's simply a habit. I managed to capture a video of it while we were outside. The noise in the background is the wind; luckily little Gaby didn't get blown away!




Furthermore, yesterday was my birthday. I am now officially in my mid 20s! I didn't have a big party, though. It was just my parents, sister, brother, my boyfriend, and the furkids, which I was perfectly fine with. 

My favorite: ice cream cake!

    Chihuahuas tend to be a bit highly strung, Dog knows ours are!
    You will miss her.

  10. Happy (belated) Birthday!!! Sorry I missed it.

    Gaby is a cutie! I hope Sookie gets used to having her around as time goes on and she makes more visits.

    I recently had to board Jewel for a couple of days and something that really touched me was that the caretakers gave me a little "report card" of how Jewel did. It had things like "She ate all of her food, took her medication, and used the bathroom." But they also wrote about how sweet Jewel is and said they hoped they'd see her again. I'm sure you give pet parents plenty of compliments about their pets when they pick them up - it's just something that goes above and beyond and I think it's wonderful for pet parents to hear about how great their pet is from someone else sometimes :) Anyway, sorry for the babbling, LOL!

    I hope you get to pet sit for Gaby again. She sure is adorable, and I bet she's fun to have around! :)

  11. Such a little cutie. She'd get lost at my house, though, as I have five Treeing Walker Coonhounds (ranging from 52 to over 70 pounds). I love my hounds, but then again, I love all dogs. Some day I will have a little furbaby who can sit on my lap without making my legs go numb, but I'll also always have hounds. It was nice of you to watch Gaby.
