Wordless Wednesday

(Remember Pip's cheap date?  Well, here's a picture of Pip hugging that old sock, as he enjoys bonding time with his new family...)

ZEN

Just. Wrong.

Someone is on a deadline and has decided to procrastinate by mocking my boy-toys...

Pip and the power of PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!

CL's  partner-in-crime is feeling immense loss over the recent death of my evil twin.  CL noted a strange feeling of emptiness in our household since Pip the Squeak (aka Tasmanian Devil) is visiting potential Forever Homes, and her partner sent a cure for our loneliness:
PUPPIES!

Not only PUPPIES--- but WILD DOG PUPPIES!  (anyone who knows CL will know the cosmic relationship between our household and Wild Dogs)

Enjoy!

Pip's cheap date

(Note:  Audio may be hit-or-miss since CL has disputed YouTube's right to suppress music used in this video.  Seriously, the-powers-that-be want to argue copyright infringement with a NY Times bestselling author who has her (albeit beautifully written) crap stolen, in the past?  Just...cheezes, people...find a life!  No money is lost to the artist in this video.)

Wordless Wednesday

(4 am, after Sugar opens Pip's jail cell...)

Zen

Waiting for Godot

(Vladimir and Estragon, perhaps?)

Mouth guard

(CL received some requests for close-ups of Pip and I "mouthing" each other during play...enjoy!  Interestingly, it is not this behavior that causes a CL intervention.  The most prevalent behavior that forces CL to exert control and separate us?  When I use my paw to slam Pip to the ground-- force him onto his back-- and demand he stays on his back by putting my mouth over his belly, while he squeals and squirms...CL is never amused by this behavior, even though I insist that Pip needs to be told "enough!" when he gets too excited during playtime...)

Wrestlemania

Before the show (gratuitous prison shot)

Waiting for Prisoner's release...

Slamdown!
("If you say one word about my fat arse, Wild Dingo...")

Water break

Patiently waiting...
("And you wonder why CL makes you wear a diaper?")

Ready squirt?
("Squirt? Die, alpha bitch!")

Takedown!

Preemptive stop by CL
("What? You afraid of a little pain?  You know that squeak was Pip-induced-drama, right? Coward...!")

 Shameless man-whore shot
("You call yourself a dawg, stud? Suck-up...")

Strength, balance and flexibility

Every morning, CL does 90 minutes of strength, balance and complex range of motion exercises, plus killer crunches for her abs. (Btw, ever try to do 100 crunches with no upper body strength and a titanium cage in your neck?  Intense...anyhow, I digress...)  Here are the first 30 minutes of stretching and Yoga, before she moves to the mat to begin her strength exercises:

Here's the continuation of the battle, while CL trains and tries to ignore the screams, squeaks and grunts from us (not her):

CL is continually amazed at my gentle behavior, while I play with Pip.  All that spastic energy would drive CL bonkers!  I guess we now know the secret to Pip's calm demeanor, huh?

Snuggle time with Pip

(for a Chihuahua, he's pretty darn mellow...)

Pip sleeping while standing

(It kinda freaks me out that Pip is the same size as CL's boob)

Pip the Squeak

(aka the Tasmanian Devil)

Crazy Lady and I are working with Judy (from Walkin' the Bark Rescue) to foster Pip, a devilish long-haired Chihuahua.  As soon as he understood that I was SheRa, Princess of Power, and CL was She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed?  No issues.  He's teeny tiny (less than 5 lbs), so taking care of him is not a huge challenge for CL.  He has learned his name and is super-duper smart.  It took 40 minutes to teach him "sit," "down" and "come."  He had a bit of "I am the MAN" attitude, but that lasted for less than a day.  He has settled into our home and routine, and life is good.  Of course, he loves to snuggle with CL, while she writes in the morning.

You can read more about Pip here.  Oh!  And Judy very kindly took a short video of our first meeting last night.  Here it is...(thanks, Judy!)

Enjoy!
