WELCOME

Hi! Hola! My name is KC Contessa! I'm a baby female Applehead Chihuahua puppy born 02/12/2011. Right now I'm a beefy 2.5 pounds and stand 1 hand tall. I'm mostly black with some tan here and there with a spash of white on my chest. Though I share my house with my new brother Jake, I rule this roost. Every day is something new or different or both to me. My friend David his wife Nikki and I thought we'd share some thoughts and experiences along the way as I grow up and go through life. Some funny things, some sad things, and some things that make me cock my head and go HUH???

It's Got To Be The Morning After

With everything that happened yesterday, we've all just been running around like zombies today. All of us still thinking about my sister...wondering if she's okay, wondering if she's happy at her new home, wondering if she's thinking about us at all. Just makes me start crying again. I really miss her. It's not fair, the ones you love should stay alive forever and be with you always....right?!?! Grandma told me that no matter what... the ones that touch our lives ARE with us forever. They're in our hearts and in our memories and that's the forever part. But I told her that I won't ever holds her again when she is bummerfied...I won't ever run circles around her again cause I am faster....I won't ever lay my head on her again when we fall asleep. Grandma said "no but if you close your eyes and try really, really, really hard, for a moment you just might feel what if felt like to be there again". Grandma also said that sis would want me to make the most of every day even if it is without her.
How do you suppose Grandmas get so smart anyways??!! I think it's one of those grown up mystery secrets they have.

Byeee for now! KC

I (sob) Want (sob sniff) My Sister Back Right Now (sniff sniff)

I need my friends today more than ever. I am so upset that I don't know what I'm gonna do. Today started out like any day...sleep, play, get licked clean, play, nap, run around like a crazy dog. Momma people gave us a little milk in a bowl and we drank it so fast that when my sister and me looked up it looked like we had white beards on our faces. Dad called my sister "Cujo". I dunno what that means but I guess he was making fun of us cause mom and grandma laughed when he said it. Then me and sis were chasing each other around the house when there was a big sound coming from the place in the wall where the people appear and disappear. Momma people opened a hole in the wall and 2 peoples I never saw before came in. Sis and I went and hid. If I knew then what I know now I would have stayed hidden! Momma peoples and Daddy peoples sat and talked to them for a little while, then they introduced them to sis and me. We played with them for a few minutes then they set me down on the floor where I went back to my business never knowing what would happen next. After all of the adult people talked a little more they stood up. The new lady people was still holding my sister and I was still standing right in front of her looking up at sis but she wasn't setting her down so we could go do what we wanted to do. I whined a little "c'mon sis let's go play" the people just laughed nervously but went right on talking AND holding on to my sister. Now I let out a small bark, RUFF. I'll show them I mean business. I let out another firmer bark, ARF. By now sis was starting to squirm a little but the lady people held onto her even tighter. Now I was starting to get mad. Suddenly all the people moved toward the place where they appear and disappear. I didn't like this, something did not feel right. Then in just the blink of my eyes there was a flash of light and the people were gone.....thank goodness.....I didn't like the way they kept holding my sister. After catching my breath for just a moment I suddenly realized.........MY SISTER WAS GONE TOO. WHERE IS MY SISTER?!?! I sniffed where they had been standing just a moment ago but her smell ended at the wall. I looked quickly and frantically around the room BUT I COULDN'T FIND HER......WHERE IS MY SISTER?!?! Then I looked up and saw my mom and dad and grandma and the look on their faces and somehow I knew, she wasn't coming back!! Mom, where is sis?...Dad, Grandma?? I cried and cried until I had no water left in my little eyes. Sobbing, I finally drifted off to sleep thinking "good life sis...good life to you".

Bye for now...KC

Growth Spurts

The last little while has had one day pretty much like the next.....wake up, eat, potty, play, nap, get in trouble, try to get outta trouble. that part's easy cause I have the dreaded "puppy eyes". They get me outta so much stuff! Ahhhh, I love being a puppy! I think everyday that I'm getting bigger. I can just see over the tops of the grass when we go outside now. But it happens in spurts cause I 'll be to short a bunch of times then POOF I can see over it...then slowly I get to short again, then POOF, I can see over it again! When I hear the big roar outside I can always see over the grass the next time I go out, funny how that works. Oh well. I go farther and farther out in the yard too. I keep thinkin it'll be like the couch....if I go far enough I'll fall off but I haven't found that far outside yet. My peoples have started giving me what they call puppy food. It's nice to get something besides milk to eat and it tastes pretty good too. It is a lot harder to chew though. Gosh it's almost work! We watched a movie last night about my kinda dogs called Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2. It was really funny and you should see it if you get a chance. In one part the puppies got separated from their mom and dad, That would be horrible if that ever happened to me. I don't ever wanna have to leave my family. But it was okay in the movie cuz everything worked out. Anyhow I gave it two paws up!
Well that is all I have today.
Byyeeeeeeeeeee for now!! KC

My Life is So Tough

It was time to eat when I had to go yesterday, I heard mom and grandma talking about when grandma had her and how there was 5 of them! I can't imagine that especially at dinner time. Since we still feed from mommy, can you picture 5 tryin to get to her WOW it'd get mighty pushy at times but just me and my sister it's okay. After eating me and my sister usually play for awhile but every once in awhile I catch this thing out in the corner of my eye that follows me alot. I try to snap at it sometimes but it' like it knows what I'm thinking and always jumps away...alot of times I spin round and round and round and round but it's always just a little faster and gets away. Mom, dad, grandma, and my peoples sure think its funny when I try to catch it. Grandma once called it a "tail" and said she gave up chasing it long ago, dad will almost fall off the couch he laughs so hard! Psshhh, I'd like to see him catch one but I'd never ever say that to him. My favorite game is Tug-A-War but I'm usually exhausted after we play that for awhile. Then again I'm tired alot and take alot of naps. Life sure is hard work I get up in the morning and mom licks me for awhile. then I eat with mom, then me and mom play for awhile. Then it's nap time for an hour. Then I get up and play with sis and then talk to grandma and grandma licks me for awhile. Then I take a nap for an hour. Next I start to get a funny feeling in my tummy and sometimes my behind too. I know that there is stuff inside me that wants to come out but it's getting harder to hide it from the peoples cause they aren't very happy when they find it, I can tell you that! But being a lady, that's all I got to say about that. After that I usually take a nap. In the afternoon I like to sit by the window, it's warm there. Sometimes one of the peoples will come and either play with me or let me lay on them and take a nap. From there I usually wander around the house to see what I can find. I see stuff nobody else does. Stuff like crumbs, and bugs and sometime there still alive even. From there I usually (all together now) take a nap! Now all this talk about naps has really made me tired, I think I'll go get a nap................byeeeeeeeeee for now!! KC

So Much To See and Do

Hi again!
I thought we'd just keep goin from yesterday. There is sooooooo much to tell that it's hard to know where to start and where to stop. It's just like when I run. Sometimes I go so fast that my rear end tries to pass my head and goes up in the air and I do a somersault. Sure does make my people laugh! Anyways; I was talking bout my sister. She's a lot like me but different. Like she plays HARD. We play and play and after awhile when I try to stop and rest for a second, here she comes running full speed and runs me over and as she does she bites whatever she can get ahold of as she goes by. She is really fast too. Sometimes I jump in the way and we both go tumblin out onto the floor.
The next thing I got to see was my dad. He was just standing there lookin like a king, standing all upright with his chest poking out. Mom said he was just real proud cause he got 2 beeeutiful daughters! Dad really doesn't pay alot of attention to us. He has important dad stuff to do like.....ummmmm.....barking when ever he hears a strange noise or when people come and knock on the door, cleaning himself and us sometimes! He loves us though, I can tell. Next I got to see grandma. Grandma is really smart but she is really slow. I get in trouble for running around her sometimes. She helps keep us clean too sometimes. I guess mom's tongue must get pretty tired cause she sure gets alot of cleaning help...we must be the cleanest puppies ever!
Next I saw all my peoples. There's Kelvin (the dad), Crystal (the mom) and their 2 people puppies Skye and Brandi. I reeealy like them cause they do so much stuff with me. Like carry me places so I don't have to run there....with my little legs it takes forever and I get so tired. They must be Chefs too cause all the stuff they give me is sooooo delicious, not like my food. I also like to bite their hair...it's really long and lots of fun.
Well I guess that's it for now. mom is laying down so it's time to eat! Catch you next time. i'm gonna try to do this each day but during the week is gonna be tuff so we'll see.

Byeeeeeeee for now! KC

My first day

Well I'm 9 weeks old now but I'll just turn back time a little and at least tell you about the highlights up to now. First was a really special day cause I arrived! Tough day for me I'll tell you. All I was tryin to do was come out and see what all the voices were about while I was still in mom's tummy and she just kept pushin me back....humph. But finally after me pushing back for a really really really long time (I was getting soooooooo tired) I finally won....YEAHHHHHHH me. Boy oh boy was it ever cold. I started shakin and shivering until suddenly I felt something grab me and lift me up really high and start rubbing on me with this soft thing they called a towel. I found out later that it was a "people" that did it. I really like people for all kinds of reasons but I'll talk about that more later. By the time I was warm the people had me all clean and pretty (I think cause I couldn't open my eyes yet) but I was tooooooo tired.
The next day was a little disappointing cause I still heard a bunch of voices but couldn't see anything still. It sure was nice stretching my legs though! I walked almost 10 feet today.........WOW that was HUGE.
After a little while my eyes finally started to open and the things I saw were amaaaaazing. First was my momma! Momma is a purebred Chihuahua. She is soooo pretty. She licks and licks me till I think she might lick the fur right off me she licked me so much. I'll be glad when I grow up and I can run faster than she can....she always catches me and grabs me by the neck and takes me wherever SHE wants......but I still love her with all my heart cause she knows whats best for me. Next I saw my sister. She is beeeauuuutiful just like me! She does look a little different than I do. I guess God probably did that on purpose so Mom can remember who she did what to, I mean with all that licking and feeding, and corralling, and all that other stuff Moms do.

Welp gotta go for now it's time to go outside.....whatta blast that is but more on that later.

Byyyyeeee
