The Chilly Chorkie

*

What? I AM 24% Chihuahua you know!

*

Seriously? Do you realize how much time you’ve wasted drawing this stupid thing just to make fun of me for needing a coat?

*

My Cairn boys were built for winter. In fact they didn’t like any temperature above 55′. Murphy, despite his long, luxurious fur, is a summer guy. The poor little thing nearly froze to death when our temps dropped this week.

Unfortunately, the coat that fits him best is a pink hand-me-down. I keep trying to tell him it is light red, but he insists that even he is not that colorblind. Hmm, maybe Santa will have a new coat on the sleigh for Murphy…

I may be partially colorblind, but I can still smell girl dog on this coat.

Sharks are Cool

Why are you wearing booties to swim? Did you lose a bet?

*

See? They have sharks on them.

*

Sharks ar cool, right? Of course they are. They're so cool they're practically penguins.

*

Do you mean Burgess Meredith "Penguin" or Robin Lord Taylor? How do you know about them? Duh. We TV at my other house too. Honestly, I don't know why I hang around with your guys!

*

I don’t really care what you wear as long as I don’t have to go along.

(So far Murphy hasn’t shown the enthusiasm for water that his brothers had.)

*

While this might seem like an odd topic, I was very nervous about going swimming again after having developed so many allergies/sensitivities. I was concerned that even with shower sandals, if I were walking across a floor where personal care items were draining, they might splash onto my skin and cause a reaction.

My solution is to wear aqua socks while in the shower room and in the pool, only changing out of them once I reach my locker. If you happen to be one of lucky few with MCAS, I wanted to let you know that this might be a choice to help keep safe in a locker room or pool. (Usually this condition doesn’t surface until your 20s, so hopefully high school swim class will already be behind you.) Aqua socks are made of neoprene, so water doesn’t go through them. As a plus, they give extra traction on slippery floors.

And even though I am the only nerd wearing them, I totally rock these aqua socks.

Hey guys, I am getting ready to go swimming. How do I look? Out of this world?

Yeah….if you are a pasty white person, don’t get the gray swim cap.

Helpful Autumn Life Advice

Don’t eat the grapes below the level of the dog.

*

The grapes? I was just looking at them. Honest.

*

(Don’t worry. Murphy is always supervised and is not allowed to eat any of the grapes.)

Should Doogie Run For Office?

While taking pictures off my camera, I noticed that Doogie had a lot of qualities we see in most politicians.

He is willing to blame others.

He claim other’s things as his own.

He’s been caught fooling around on film.

He likes to conduct business in the dark.

He’ll turn his back on family and friends if it suits his needs.

He’s willing to let others pull his strings.

With these qualifications, surely someone will designate him as our next candidate!

Vote for me! I’m cute!

Vote for me. I’m cuter.

Lycopene Loving Lycan

I’m not a lycan, you fool. I’m a miniature wolf.

Now give me a tomato!

*

I wasn’t sure what would happen if I let Murphy into the garden. Sadly, I created a monster. Now that he knows food comes from there, he wants to go all the time. It wouldn’t be such an issue if he didn’t get a barely passing score from the vet at his last visit. Chubby Chorkie here needs to be careful of his calories.

*

Don’t just stand there, open the gate woman!

Thanks to Murphy’s sad origin story, he gets pretty much whatever he wants which in this case means a lot of time sniffing overripe tomatoes. (If only his manly dog scent would scare the bunnies away.)

Ushanka

Hey, it looks like he likes you! Lucky me.

Doogie was small enough that he didn’t mind standing on Murphy when he wanted to reach something. Given the hot weather, Murphy may have objected to his living Ushanka.

*

I don’t mind standing on your head.

*

I mind a little.
