My name is Elmo and I am a Chilupa. What a Chilupa exactly is, I don’t know but they keep telling me that it’s a small furry thing with flying that is full of love. Hey that’s a good start! Now I am off exploring. I’ll keep you posted on my journey, okay!?

Woof,
Mo.

The Rainbow Bridge story

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There
are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so
they can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are
restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or
maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we
remember them in our dreams of days and times gone
by. The animals are happy and content, except for one
small thing; they each miss someone very special to them,
who had to be left behind. They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks
into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager
body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group,
flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster
and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and
your special friend finally meet, you cling together in
joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the
beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting
eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never
absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge
together ….

Mr. Monkey Boy is my favorite toy. When I don’t play tug-o-war with him, I’ll use him as a cuddle buddy to keep me warm during these cold winter days.

There’s nothing better than meditating in the sunshine.

My owners started giving me the loooooongest bone ever! It’s awesome, I totally got the hang of it and you should see my teeth… perfectly polished and clean!

“A stunning display of Chihuahua patriotism, this propaganda poster will convince anyone who sees it to join the Chihuahua Revolution. Obey the Chihuahua!”

Join the Revolution!

… it’s now been 10 days and counting. The dog in this picture is not me, but he pretty much describes how I feel about food right now. I’d rather stand on it than eat it.

…for Rembrandt. I think I am starting to get the light… now I need to work a bit more on my pose.

Today I visited Patrick, my new friend. He is an Italian greyhound and a great host! When I arrived, he immediately brought two toys - one for each of us - and then he showed me how to properly play tug o’ war. We had a blast!

…but I have a mighty power! When I walk across the surface of planet earth, the ground below me cracks as if I was walking on egg shells!
