For as long as I can remember (excluding the college years), there has been a pooch hogging the bed with me at night. Even when I take care of Ginger now, she won’t go to bed until I’m ready and she’s resting next to me. And Frasier, in all of his moose-like qualities, hogs the bed regardless of how much room you have, until he’s good and comfy. And now, Chicklet, all seven pounds of her, follows me into the bedroom, waits to be put on the bed and then climbs onto the pillow until she’s snuggled in for the night. No matter how much room they take up, it doesn’t bother me one bit. Do others sleep with their pups at night? I’d love to know.

With the scorching heat consuming the city over the weekend, it was the perfect opportunity to check out the Montrose Dog Beach with Chicklet. I first went there last summer with Frasier and Josh when my uncle was in town, and Frasier loved it. While Chicklet was even more weary of the water than Frasier, she did enjoy lounging in the sand before pooping out rather quickly. It’s tough being a small pup. Upon our return, everyone on our block was enjoying their own fun: with a busted fire hydrant. I had never seen one before and we couldn’t stay away, despite the wastefulness. Sigh.

I swear I’m not someone who carries their dog in a bag, but I couldn’t help but try it with Chicklet. She was a good sport and let me carry her all the way down to the car like this. I can’t believe she fits in my bag:)

On Saturday this little Chicklet arrived, and she is just the cutest. We’ve completely welcomed her into the apartment and I can only hope she loves being here as much as we love having her. While I’ve had to get used to being around such a tiny pup, she has been so well behaved. I hope she sticks around a while:)
