Emma and Birdie (CARE foster pretty pittie girl) demonstrate the only proper activity for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Emma is my first experience with a chihuahua (with the exception of certain unfortunate and painful nipping incidents in my younger days) and she isn't at all what I expected. Most of the day she is mellow and quiet, happily snoozing away in Brogan's bed in my home office or burrowed under the comforter in the bedroom. A couple of times a day she turns into wacky speed demon and has figure eight chase sessions with Brogan around the back yard. In the turns she is nearly laying on her side... how she doesn't fall is a mystery of chi physics!
She is also learning to play with toys, which are a new concept for her. About a week ago she discovered toys had value to Brogan, so started collecting them in her bed (formerly HIS bed) but didn't actually play with them. Yesterday the little lightbulb went off in her head and she started playing tug of war with Brogan and a tiny stuffed octopus. Yay! Despite his 80 lb bulk, Brogan grew up with a 5 lb poodle who LOVED tug of war and it is still one of his favorite games. Needless to say, he is in Rottie heaven.
Yes, there's a dog in there... a common view of Emma during the day (as a lump in the bed).
