City Dwellers

Hey! New friends came over for a BBQ this weekend! They are from a land far far away where there are lots of condos and no grassy yards.


Meet the bodacious Comang Hwang - 3 year old Shih tzu rescue


And the distinguished Cairn terrier-shih tzu Dante Stoltenhwang!

And don't forget us! Dazzling Baz and Giddy Guinnie

Hey, Baz. What kind of dog is this?

I don't know Guinn but this one looks more like a stuffie. Maybe I should give him a nibble?

Frenchies have good taste

The french sure have good taste - wine, cheese and SILK TIES! It's true. The boys have gotten into some mischief together kekeke They also have a taste for daddy's silk ties! The boys nabbed one and played tug-o-war for some time alternating it with chasing back and forth, upstairs and down. Finally, the war ended like this.

Basil had won and passed out on the floor like this. Spoils from his victory.

Outing with Mom

Today we went for a ride to visit my friend Cooper, but he couldn't come out to play.


Hey Cooper! Why can't you come out. I cried for him to come out but his mom said he couldn't.


Riding in the front seat of the car.

We went home and wrastled.

Then mom took us for a walk.

Day 3

I didn't think I could love any dog more than Basil, but I love them both equally!

Fire in the hole!

Hey Carmel, what's this?


It's a hole I dug to stay cool in.


It's pretty sweet in here. You can bury a lot of bones.

Hey Basil, you better be careful in there. Wait, where did you go!?

Thank goodness you're okay Basil. Thought I lost you in there for a sec.

Playdate with Tego

My friend Tego came over to play with me the other night. We had soooo much fun!


Come on! Wrastle me!!


Tego: I'm thirsty and I like your bisteque.

Tego was looking for more of my mom's tomatoes.

Playdate with Ellie Mae and Domino

I had a hot date with Ellie Mae on Friday night. Ellie Mae was also adopted from FBRN by her mom and dad who live nearby. My mom called her mom to ask if it was okay that I court her. She said it was okay as long as her brother Domino the boxer came along as chaperone.


Hi Ellie Mae. I love your collar. (Always compliment the ladies.) Welcome to our home.


I made her a steak dinner. She seemed to really like it.


Then we ran around, played with my toys, wrastled, ran around some more. It was so much fun!


After dinner, I took her out for a drink too. Then we went back to playing again if ya know what I mean ;)


Then I spent the rest of the night playing with Domino. He's so much fun.

We wrastled and played alllll night!

Ellie Mae was pretty hot (literally) and so we took a break and relaxed together on the cool tile floor.

Overall, it was a great date and I think I might have my mom call her mom again. To see the rest of my date photos, go here to my shutterfly site. Don't worry Stella and Betty..I still love you gals too ;)

Basil Meets Bambi

While mommy played with The Baby, baby's aunt brought over a friend for me to play with. Her name is Bambi and she's a "chikawawa" like my human niece calls them. She really means Chihuahua. She's 2 years old and unlike me, she wasn't very lucky with her first 2 homes. She was hit by a car and has no feeling in her left leg/hip. Then she was mauled by a pit bull! Yikes! She survived which makes her a very lucky and strong girl! Now she's with her forever mommy who is super nice to her.


Here she is with her mommy. I let her play with my orange ring. She tried to play with my fuzzy fuzz fuzz ball, but I kinda had to "gently take it away" from her because it's my favorite toy.



I got happy feet during the evening and chased her around. I startled her. I didn't know she would be so sensitive. She was so playful earlier. I tried to coax her to come out by looking cute and pawing at her underneath the loveseat.


It was a long day with so much company. I was pooped and took a little rest. The sun was coming down hard.


Even Bambi got a little help from This Kid who held his hand over her face to sheild her eyes from the sun. See, I told ja that I like These Kid people.

Mother's Day

I went the whole day with my other cousins! There was a lot of commotion and a lot of competition going on, but overall it was another fun day with the family!


All 5 dogs in 1 picture!


Cousin Murphy and Auntie Sugar playing on the peed-on-ball.


Basil watching Cousin K.


Auntie Sugar mistook Basil for a horsey.


Basil didn't care. He had his on the ball.

Betty & Basil's Play Date

Mommy set up a hot date for me on Sunday with the Beautiful Betty. She cleaned my ears, brushed my fur and taught me the proper way to greet a lady. I knew something was in the air when mommy put out pears and cheese. Betty must have been a real special gal.


After maybe 50 photos, mommy finally got one of both of us together. Don't we look cute together?


When Betty arrived, I properly greeted her by sniffing her behind. Just don't stare! The ladies don't like that.


I took Betty for a walk around to show her my hood. It's a pretty nice place to live. There's lots of other dogs and things to sniff. If we got married, you can move in with me Betty.


Come on Betty! Up here!


Welcome to my house. I like your red harness. (Always compliment her on what she's wearing.)


Like a good host, I offered Betty some water. See Betty. If you stay with me, you can drink all the tap water you want here. I'm a good provider.


I put all the right moves on Betty, but she was so overwrought by my charm that she didn't want to play. I kept jumping around to impress her, but nothing worked.


Come on Betty! Play with me! I'm strong and healthy. I can protect you and you'll never be bored with me.


Plllllleeeeeease play with me. My parents have stable jobs and I have my own crate. I'll even let you sleep on the softer side.


PLAY WITH MEEEE PUUUULLLEASSE!


I can even catch my own prey. Look at this mouse. arghhhh nom nom nom


Before I knew it, it was time for Betty to go home. We had a wonderful time and I hope we can be friends....CALL ME!
