Collars and chewing

Paisley has this weird issue with collars. She crams her lower jaw under them and very patiently chews. It looks horrible and painful and completely freaks me out! I want to put her in all sorts of cute collars. The only one I have found so far that she can not manage to get her lower jaw under is a rather inexpensive one from Target.

I guess I just need to go purchase several different patterns of that collar. I just finished trying to unclasp her new cute chevron collar while her lower jaw was stuck in it. I am kind of panicking. What is Paisley doing? She is chewing, as I work on the clasp. I have said it before and I will say it again. It's a good thing she is so cute, and I love her so much!

Some pictures of Paisley in two new dress that I bought at Ross.

Looking angelic

 

Paisley may be a fashionista, but she is a frugal fashionista. Her dresses were $4.99 at Ross and her collars were $3.99 for two. Not too bad.

Speaking of  Ross, I have a funny story. One day I was near Ross, so I decided to pop in and see if they had any new pet items. I have taken Paisley there forever. I always walk right past the quality control/security guy that is in the front with her fully in view and he says hello.

The first time I took her there, I checked the sign it said nothing about dogs. So on this particular day, I found a few items and was standing in line. The cashier kept giving me the dirtiest look. When it was my turn, she said "you know we do not allow dogs in here". It was not that she said it that bothered me but how she said it. So very rude.

The lady behind me talked about how calm and quite Paisley was, and she had thought I had a stuffed animal in my arms. So the cashier said it again to me only this time she mentioned the sign. I really was not in the mood to get into it with her, so I did not say anything. I did however take my phone out to the sign snap a picture and take it back to her.

Here it is:

 I told her the sign said nothing about dogs and since we were not eating, drinking, soliciting, or smoking there really should not be a problem. She went on to say, in her ugly tone, "well they must have changed it".

I understand that dogs are not welcome everywhere and honestly don't mind. I just don't understand how some people have to be so nasty. The really funny thing is the next time I went in with Paisley the security guy stopped me and asked me all about Paisley. He told me all about his dog while petting her. That lady was just a few feet away.

Excuse me?!?!?!

Much better

 

"Momma" Miley making sure everything is OK

Kind of gives you a new perspective of how small she actually is!

A shopping we will go

Paisley and I are headed out to do a little shopping and get some lunch.

Paisley loves bags

 

Paisley will get it in any bag without hesitation at 10 months old. She loves to go "bye-bye" in bags and will stay in one the whole time we are out. She is all girl (loves bags and shopping)!

This N That

I was so tired yesterday. My son woke me up twice the night before because he had a nightmare. I knew I had a day of running my oldest a few places, so I just wanted to sleep in a little. Paisley is usually really good about sleeping when I sleep. Not yesterday. She was running around and getting into any little thing she could find. It has been awhile since we have had a puppy and usually Paisley is so good that I can almost forget she's still a puppy. Yesterday morning she reminded me. I finally gave her a chew toy and tucked her beside me for awhile.

Today we went to get my hair cut and ran to one store to grab something. I guess being still that long allowed her to store up some energy. She and Miley were chasing each other all around the house. Our floors are a little slick so every once in awhile one of them does what I call the cartoon run. They try to build up some speed but just end up running in place. They love to play together. We are lucky that Miley is very gentle.

We took Miley to obedience school when she was very young. She was taught the command gentle when taking food from your hand, and she is so smart that you can tell her to be gentle in other ways and she will. Paisley is so trusting when they play that she will sometimes stick her whole head in Miley's mouth. A little gross if  you ask me. It reminds me of the man sticking his head in the lions mouth.

I think everyone is getting a bit of cabin fever. It is so hot and humid that it makes it hard to get outside as much as we would like. I love summer but I am starting to look forward to fall.    

Princess Paisley

2 Questions:

Am I still a princess if my tiara is on my head with tape?
Am I still a princess if my tiara is actually a party favor purchased at Target?

No matter, she is my little princess!

The Chihuahua Diet

I have been working around the house today, so I am just now sitting down to eat something for lunch. I decided to sit at the computer desk to eat and get caught up on a little Facebook. Naturally, I am holding Paisley. It dawned on me that I may have just discovered the Chihuahua diet. If you hold the Chihuahua while eating, of course you are going to share your food with her and if  she is sitting in your lap against your stomach,  you are going to feel full sooner. So all the way around you eat less. Having a Chihuahua makes me healthier in sooo many ways.

Paisley rode in the back seat in her car seat today. I was afraid that she might whine or cry being in the back seat. But, Paisley, being true to form, just went with the flow. We haven't had this seat for long, but she loves it. She can see out of the window. She had a harness dog seat belt that she was less than thrilled with. The car seat was one of my Tuesday Morning finds for $19.99.

Can you tell that it was hot today?
