March Madness

20130323-165259.jpg

March Madness is not only exciting for basketball fans, it is super exciting for Chupi and Chori!!!!!! Of course, they don’t actually know what is going on (proof: they are napping like champions while the Louisville Cardinals play their game against Colorado State.) Here at home we root for the Louisville Cardinals. Leslie grew up […]

Snakes or mice?…what do you think we prefer?

The backyard of Los Rodriguez mansion has many inhabitants. We know that Chupi and Chori always fight for the throne, but there are also many other creatures just trying to make a living out there. El patio de la Mansion Rodriguez tiene mucho habitantes. Sabemos que Chupi y Chori siempre pelean por el trono, pero […]

Chori’s first snow day

This past weekend it “snowed”! The 1/4 inch we got here in our neighborhood was pretty exciting because we didn’t see so much as a flake last year. It was also particularly exciting in this household because it was Choripan’s first encounter with snow, which obligated a photo or two. I took my camera out early in […]

The Dog Spot to the rescue!

One of Leslie’s biggest fears is Chupete or Choripan running away.  Going out of town means losing control over the dogs for a few days, and the only way to do that and have some peace of mind is to find a great place to board them while we’re away. Luckily for us, we found […]

VOTE: for the next King of the Backyard!

Even without the barrage of reminders on various social media outlets about election day, it should be pretty clear by now that it’s finally time to vote. This morning I did my civic duty and voted, and this is Javier’s last election as a non-citizen. Next time around he’ll be able to vote too! My presidential pick isn’t much […]

Halloween at Los Rodriguez mansion

Well, Halloween was scary for us for a few reasons. First, on Tuesday night before Halloween Javier and I realized that the reason Chupete had been acting weird all day was not, in fact, because he was scared of the halloween decorations we put up (though it is very true that he’s scared of them). […]

Chupete is two!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUPETE!!! Our little buddy turned 2 years old on October 11. We actually know the exact date because technology is amazing and through a variety of social media outlets we were connected to the owners of Chupete’s brother Waylon! Can you believe it? They got Waylon only a few weeks after the pups […]

Barney Google in Doggoland

Every once in a while, Doggoland has the honor of receiving some of the Top Dogs of the yard, and with important personalities in the area, many dangers arise. Last time a top dog visited this part of the world, suspicious squirrels had to be pushed out of the gates, and the cardinals were not […]

Every 4 years there is an event that motivates dogs to run faster, jump higher, bark louder, and chew stronger, the Doglympics! This year, the games will be held in a dog park in London. With a landscape designed to demand the highest athletic performance from those participating, dogs all over the world are training […]

Who else besides me divides the hours of weekdays into favorite / least favorite times of day? I can’t be the only one right? On the average day, when nothing extraordinary is going on, my favorite / least favorite hours of the day go like this: Quien mas aparte de mi divide las horas de […]
