Mom's New Crochet Thingie for Nellie Belle

Mom found a pattern for a doggie shrug to crochet for Nellie Belle. She worked hard to make it and had to try it on Nellie B. several times so that it would fit just right. Nellie got a bit disgruntled at all this modeling stuff and went to bed with her daddy. Usually Nellie Belle has to be the last one in bed at night so Mom knew that Nellie was a tad bit disgruntled. The next morning, Mom put the completed shrug on Nellie Belle and before she could find her camera, Nellie took the shrug off and "lost" it somewhere in the house! Opi is an easy-going guy so he said "Hey Mom, when you find it, I'll try it on so you can take a picture of it. I don't care that it's a girlie thing." So here's the picture of Opi wearing it:

Later on, Mom did "catch" Nellie Belle and put the shrug on her so she could look pretty when Daddy came home from work. Here's Nellie Belle finally wearing the new shrug Mom made:

You can probably tell by the look on Nellie's face that she's not too happy with having clothing on. That's ok because as soon as Daddy saw her, he took it off and Nellie was happy again.

Mom's Mothering...

This is Nellie Belle here. I just wanted to say that here I am, a "big girl" and my mom STILL mothers  me. Take today for example, all I wanted to do was run out and greet my daddy when he got home from work. Oh no, Mom had to have her way before I could run out to see daddy. She  made me put my coat on before she would let me out the door. What  a bossy mommy...I love her anyway but gee whiz, I was only gonna be outside for a minute!

ps--Maybe Mommy is smarter than I give her credit for. I stayed warm!

Getting Cold Outside...Mom "Hooked Us Up"

Mom was getting concerned because it's getting cold outside and she wants us to be warm. Earlier this week, she picked up her crochet hook and some yarn and made us sweaters. They're cute and warm. We didn't have the heart to remind Mom that Chihuahuas shake and that helps to warm us up! We also shake when we're frightened but that doesn't happen too often here 'cause our parents love us and protect us from all the evils in the world! Anyway, here's pictures of us in our new sweaters--Opi in gray and Nellie Belle in pink. Puppy kisses...
