I love you Koa, but the hair has got to go!

When I first decided I wanted a dog I did my research (so I had ammo for Eric's questions) and I wanted a Maltese b/c they were small and didn't shed...enter Tyler. Well, when Eric came home on mid-tour leave we decided to get Tyler a friend. We brought him to a pet swap meet and gave him free reign to pick out his new playmate. Most of the puppies were really scared, and we really like a little Chihuahua named Ginger...but Tyler had other plans. He walked up to Koa, Ginger's brother, who was just sitting calmly @ 4lbs...by far the largest chihuahua puppy I have ever seen! They hit it off and we went home with Koa.


They really were best friends



And ever since we have battled with the hair. We love our couch, but b/c of it's textured fabric, it holds onto those small Koa hairs with a vengeance...and he lives on our couch!!

He loves to be brushed but it doesn't get rid of most of the hair, so I finally purchased the furminator...and I love it!!!!


I got it in the mail yesterday and went right to getting rid of his undercoat. (I know it's winter...but he is an inside dog...and doesn't spend a lot of time outside)

So, if you have the same problem as I do...look into those eyes...


and get rid of the hair to make every one's life easier!

It's been decided...

I brought up my desire to be a vegetarian to Eric tonight, and he is all for it...as long as I get the needed protein in other ways.

I am going to try being a lacto-ovo vegetarian. We'll see how this goes. I think I am going to keep a food diary just to make sure I am getting everything I need.

Eric will continue to eat meat, and I wouldn't expect him to stop!!! I just feel really strongly about this, and want to give it a shot. Wish me luck!

AND, if you have any good recipes please email me!!!

Sleep is a fallacy and is used as government propaganda to control your mind!

I have to credit the title to a good friend named Scott. He had many interesting philosophies...and one popped into my mind this morning.


Do dogs (and animals in general) have mental/personality disorders? There all those books/people out there defining the overall temperment of certain breeds...when in reality they could be passing on mental illness or personality disorders through their selective breeding.

Jack Russels are super hyper: OCD
Pit Bulls are aggressive: Antisocial Personality Disorder (PD)
Shar-peis are the #1 dog to turn on their owner: Schizophrenia (hallucinations/delusions)
Chihuahuas are bark @ everything: Panarnoid PD
Golden Retreviers are man's best friend: normal :-)
Muts are sometimes the best dogs: all the dominant/recessive gene disorders never got far
Dogs that are classified as lazy: narcolepsy
Cats sometimes love you, then hate you: manic depression

Think about it.
