I love Big Bird

This is one of my favorite toys. He goes just about everywhere with me and sometimes I'll even use him as a pillow. Mostly, I toss him around and bite him but he doesn't seem to mind.

Pinto Pal - Sissy

Meet my new Pinto Pal Sissy!

"My name is Sissy. I am what some might call a "senior citizen". Mommy says I am 15 years old. I look pretty good for my age, don't I? And I don't even work out.

I live in San Diego, CA with my mommy and lots of "brothers and sisters"...dogs, cats, fish, and a rabbit.

Nice to meet you!"

It's nice to meet you too Sissy, thanks for being one of my Pinto Pals.

If you'd like to be a Pinto Pal just send me a photo of yourself in jpeg format and tell me a little about yourself. My email is pintobean@northwestsellers.com

We all knew a big change was coming

With all of the excitement of the big election over now comes the important change.

Which dog will live in the White House? If you watched president-elect Barack Obama's acceptance speech on Tuesday night like my family did, you know they are getting a new puppy.

This is a huge decision and one that I know we will all be on the edge of our seats waiting for the big announcement.

The Today Show on NBC has created a poll, I went over there to vote but HEY - why is there no choice for Chihuahua? I mean why does NBC think the first family wouldn't want an adorable, energetic, smart, cuddly, and all around wonderful Chihuahua? What exactly do they have against Chihuahuas? We are excellent watch dogs and would be great at helping out those secret service agents.

Just take a look:

Midge is the perfect example

Hey, I wonder where I can get one of those "sheriff" vests?

Yes, I am famous.

I'm the featured Chihuahua over at Famous Chihuahua today!

What a busy weekend!

Wow, my family is always on the go - this weekend we took stuff from the antique store and set it all up with a bunch of other people in a big building. I'm not sure why we took all of the antiques because it seemed like everyone was there to see me. I thought I had a lot of visitors every day in the store - wow! Everyone wanted to pet me and talk to me and give me things. Sometimes I just had to bury my head in the blankets to get a little nap.

One nice lady added to my Chihuahua collection - can you tell which one is me in the picture?

Dad & I had a lot of fun just hanging out when it wasn't busy. It was a fun weekend but I'm happy to be back at the store today and back to my regular routine.

My first Pinto Pals

Thanks Chloe, Phoebe and CoCo for sending in your photos and being my first Pinto Pals!
You can read about them over there on the right side and see their beautiful photos.
Won't you send in your photo and be one of my Pinto Pals too?
Send it in a jpeg format to me at PintoBean@northwestsellers.com Be sure to include a little about yourself and where you live. I look forward to seeing your photos.

Fact: Chihuahuas are Smart

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'm just 4 months old and I can sit, stand and dance.

My dad has these great little treats that he is so excited to give me and he claps his hands and gets all silly. I'm glad I can make him so happy. But . . . . those treats taste just like the food that is in the kitchen floor . . . . . . . I'm suspicious that he's getting my dog treats from that bowl. I'll have to pay closer attention to him.
