Vixen is my little Chihuahua princess, born October 1, 2007. She was a wonderful, precious gift from my awesome big sister Dana. Her favorite pastimes are torturing her brother Brooskey, and chewing on the biggest chewy toy she can find. These are all of the entries which mention her.

I have so much to blog about but still so little time! For now, here's the rundown of what I got for Christmas (in roughly the order I opened them)...

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

Christmas is almost here, and things are getting busy, so I may not be able to post as regularly over the next week or so (you already saw evidence of this last week). And I'm sorry that all of my entries as of late have just been personal updates and not thought-provoking spoutings of my unpopular opinions...

christmas gifts and celebrations

Since I can't afford to buy gifts for everyone in my family this Christmas, I've decided I will at least send a Christmas bouquet or centerpiece to my Mom's house. Or maybe a Christmas gift basket from 1-800-Flowers...

I had quite the crappy night last night. It started out all right... right after work we went over to our favorite hangout and ate dinner...

Sorry for two contest posts in a week, but I had to enter this one. John Chow is hosting a $6,000 cash giveaway sponsored by tiny URL service XR.com!

Well okay, I'm starting to feel the Christmas spirit just a little bit...

a week of twittered highlights
|

Since I'm short on post ideas, I thought I'd do a quick run-down of the highlights of the past week (not guaranteed to be interesting, amusing, or otherwise worth reading). I've used my Twitter stream to jog my memory...

vixen and the squeaky football
|

Wed 10/08/2008 9:50 AM
|
|
I finally got Vixen on video growling at the squeaky football. It wasn't as funny as the first time when her growls were turning into whines of frustration, but I think it's still pretty darn cute...

one year update on vixen

Today is Vixen's first birthday! It's hard to believe she's a year old already, especially since she's only been with us for eight months...

the plagues of pet hair

Wit's Bitch thinks she might have a hairball, and I think I can relate! I coughed up a hairball myself the other night. Well okay, it wasn't so much a hairball as just a single long strand of hair (probably my own)...

an evening with brooskey and vixen
|

|

As you can see, it's hard to catch Vixen in any one place for too long. In the last scene, it's hard to see, but that's a laser pointer Brooskey is chasing up and down the hallway - otherwise known as the "red bug"...

small rant and puppy updates

Thankfully, another week is over. I'm not completely caught up at work from my vacation last week, but I'm getting there. I'd probably be further along if I hadn't spent half of this week undoing everything the oh-so-helpful temp did in my absence...

twenty-nine and still counting

You can rest assured that I will never be one of those women who lies about her age. I will always be exactly the age I say I am, unless of course I get senile and lose count...

thunderstorms, potty training and vacation

One nice thing about one's birthday being a federal holiday is that it only costs four vacation days to take the week off (unless it falls on a Saturday, of course... then I get screwed). I don't know what I'm going to do that week, yet...

a perfect summer kickoff weekend

The whole weekend was a nice little mini-vacation, and the first time in a long time that I've felt like I've had a real break. I think I can handle a month of work...

Before long, Vixen had taken over the small dog side of the park, and was having a blast with all of the other dogs. She even found a Yorkie puppy about her size to chase around...

Even as I write these opening paragraphs, I still don't know what my eight facts are going to be. But I'm going to surf through others' responses, and hope that I get inspired...

It was an exhausting day for both of them, and they both passed out on the way home... Vixen fighting it the whole way by holding her head up as she slept...

The two of them are getting along really well, though there are still a few arguments a day, but being that they are both very strong-willed, that may always be the case. Brooskey really loves to play with Vixen, but still hasn't quite figured out how much is too much for her...

She's a little kissing machine and washes all three of our faces thoroughly every day. Her absolute favorite place to be is in my lap, and I'm more than happy to accommodate...

Brooskey is maturing more every day and we look forward to all the fun we're going to have with him when he's full grown. And I'm already madly in love with this little girl, even before ever seeing her in person...
