Birthday girl! ๐Ÿฉท

Here she is, the birthday girl!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿพ She’s 12 years old and the sweetest, most gentle girl ๐Ÿ’• She loves bones and treats ๐Ÿ’– Her best friend is a pitbull lol She never growls or snaps at humans, unlike her brother ๐Ÿ˜†

My baby is getting special gifts today! She’s getting Happy Birthday sung to her, with candles, along with her brother. They LOVE singing and candles, and they know that means treats and gifts are coming!

Her name is Quinny, and she’s a Chihuahua-mix, but unlike her twin brother, she doesn’t have the personality or full looks of a Chihuahua lol

This blankie is her new birthday gift! ๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚

Birthday Babies ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿพ

My sweet little birthday boy is 12 years old today!! My furever friend since he was a lil pup!! ๐Ÿ˜ He’s my best friend, always by my side. He loves me more than anyone else ever has. He waits for me all day long when I’m at work. He follows me everywhere.

When I go upstairs, just for a second, to get something, my boy is right there running up with me, and then running back down. He trips me, walking under my feet. He sits on the step with me in the mornings when I’m putting my shoes on. He cries (and sometimes lifts his leg and pees on me or my coat or shoes ๐Ÿ˜†) when I’m leaving the house. He grabs my socks and runs away with them, thinking it will keep me home ๐Ÿ˜

We’re inseparable (along with our pom pom). I cannot bear the mere thought of not having him by my side. It literally makes my heart race and my chest ache. I would take decades off my own life if I could and add them to his.

I have other dogs who are equally loved, but my chihuahua and pomeranian are always with me. I joke that they are leeches on my ass. ๐Ÿ˜†

He has been sleeping on my chest or next to me for the last 12 years (along with our lil pom pom!). ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ He’s one of those dogs who will stay in whatever position you put them. If I lay him on his back, he stays there. If I sit him up on my lap, he stays like that. I love that.

My greatest love, my life, my world. As a Chihuahua, one of the longest living dog breeds, he still has a lot more years to live (every now and again, I look up the lifespan of a Chihuahua,ย  just to remind & reassure myself that they can live extra long. Even when they are seniors, they can still live many more years). ๐Ÿฅฐ

He has a sister who is also 12 years old today, but she won’t let me get her picture. She keeps turning away. She has anxiety and gets worked up easily. I’ll try to get a picture of her later.

My babies are getting special treats, toys, and bones on their big day!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚

My little boy here still plays like when he was a puppy! He shows no signs of being a senior dog.

His name is Wood. (I named him Woody after the doll in the movie “Toy Story,” and he’s often called Wood.) But he prefers to be called Baby, and that’s what I usually call him.

Fools in the rain ๐Ÿ’™

Processed with VSCO with ind1 preset

Now, I will stand in the rain on the corner
I’ll watch the people go shuffling downtown
‘Nother ten minutes, no longer
And then I’m turning around, ’round
The clock on the wall’s moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Light of the love that I found

The flood that I was out in yesterday ๐Ÿ˜† It came up to my ankles.

Friendly reminder: Do not drive a car through a flood.

I saw three cars break down in it. The people tried driving through it, and I guess it destroyed their engines. That happened to my dad’s car, years ago, when he drove through a flood. Car was done. I remember him yelling and cursing.

Three people in a row tried driving through it and just got stuck. So, there were three cars stalled in a row. They were all angrily beeping their car horns, as if that was going to help them lol I always think it’s funny when people sit in their cars beeping for no reason. I noticed they often don’t even know what they’re beeping their horns at. One person will beep theirs, and then a bunch more will for literally no reason, just because they heard that person ๐Ÿ˜†

It reminds me of when one of my dogs barks at something, and then the rest start barking, even in another room, just because they heard that one. And they run in, barking and bristling, like they want to give someone a piece of their mind, and they have no idea who they even have beef with. Lol!

At first, they were angry at the driver in the first car, not understanding why he was stalled in the middle of a street. Then, they soon realized why,  when their cars broke down too. They were PISSED!

They could have all turned a different way to avoid the flooded street, but each one kept going straight through the water. They must not have known that can happen or thought they could get away without it happening to them. Another friendly reminder: nothing only happens to “other people” or only happens on the news. If it can happen, it can happen to you.

Hopefully, they are able to use car insurance or something to get a new car or fixed car. This is why I’m thankful I don’t drive. No car troubles. One less problem in life.

It wasnโ€™t raining when I was walking, and then suddenly, there was a violent downpour with thunder and lightning, and before I knew it, it was inches deep. I stood in it on a street corner, for almost an hour, until it came up to my ankles lol I was not dressed for the rain and had no umbrella and was in walking shoes in the midst of a life-threatening (according to my phone) storm.

It was gross, but it makes for pretty pictures lol It looks like a swimming pool.

Even though I work outside, I never come to my senses and get appropriate clothes and shoes and an umbrella. So, I’m walking around like a drowned rat, with puddles sloshing around in my shoes. Super gross.

I’ll run in the rain ’til I’m breathless
When I’m breathless, I’ll run ’til I drop
The thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block

Anyway, that song seems fitting. Lol
