Chiwawa, chihuahua in livesaving gear

It is a little known fact that THE most popular search term on this blog is the misspelling of chihuahua. That is, in spite of my unusually erudite subject selectiion, over 130 folks a day find me by googling "chiwawa". In order to please their fanciers, I keep my eyes open for chihuahua shots..

I hit the jackpot for the costumed chihuahua this weekend. This little sweetie had just been for a swim in heavy currrents with his twin (no posing for this pair, an active and twitchy breed) and was shot crossing the mudflats, still buckled into his lifejacket.

I suppose that I could treat this as a metaphorophoto, and make much of the sacred meaning, the horrors of chihua-hente, not withstanding -- but how are we to understand the orange lifejacket? Certainly not in the context of preparation for H5N1. I wouldn't want to be caught beating a dead horse in a dog entry.

Dear Dakota,
Your mention of Attention Defincit Disorder reminded me of something someone said to me recently (or did I perhaps read it on this very blog?). She said "I have Attention Deficit Disorder: I get upset when I don't get enough attention!"

Well I definitely do, and many thanks for yours, my dear Mrs. W.

Hello there An0n!

I guess I haven't been doing very well in the entry department this month - I promise to do better. Well, a little bit better. Being unplugged on weekends is the problem, I think. Best D

Dear did you change format or design, or simply you changed the background? The pictures are more vibrant, the writing is a little too small...and I love to read you....Ciao Ari

Hi Ari

I think I'm back to normal -- the powers that be updated my blog template, and it turned all blue and white. I thought it quite institutional--excellent for a hospital newsletter, which is what this is getting to be. Sorry, and ever so glad you noticed

Best D
