We miss her, but she is a happy and giddy chihuahua with a new sweater and a fireplace at her house. She goes EVERYWHERE, meets EVERYBODY, sleeps UNDER THE COVERS, and is now a socialite chihuahua. And, comes to work still for a few hours every day and hangs out with Gustavo. And climbs out of the dog pen to come visit me! Under a horses’s foot which is the same size as her. Naughty chihuahua, Black Beauty, who has climbing talent of a long fingernailed, blinky little monkey. I love it that I get to see her every day, and that her new family is all chihuahua love with her.

I’m just arranging Otterpop’s life so she doesn’t have to hang out with Black Beauty at work and that is working for Otterpop. Strategic dog politics. In the week and a half that BB went to live in her new family, Otterpop is a changed dog. She still has a screw loose in the separation anxiety section of her brain that I’m trying to figure out how to fix, but she is way more back towards normal.

Not sure how one little chihuahua can alter one fat Otterpop’s brain chemistry so heavily, but it did. Otterpop would be one good science project for a chihuahua scientist.
