The Epic Tale of Tongo and Zongo
In a land far far away, there was one ruler and one ruler only. His name…Chupetongo! En una tierra lejana, donde habia un y solo un emperador solamente. Su nombre….Chupetongo! He had the strongest jaws in Doggoland, capable of turning bone into dust in just seconds. He was the highest jumper, the fastest runner and…

Just a good day
Sometimes, all I need is just one good day. Yesterday, Javi and I had a productive morning (woke up at 5AM!) and it was a beautiful day with pretty decent weather. I got to spend the morning reading in my office with the pups keeping me company on the couch. They were basically begging me…

Our Ferocious Pups
Ok they’re actually quite gentle and sweet (once they calm down and stop jumping up on you to say hello – we’re still working on the “off” command) – but these photos might suggest otherwise if you didn’t know Chupi and Chori. On Sunday we spent the whole day working on bookshelves and painting things…

Falta Poco!
We spent yet another great day with the Rodriguez family – we only have a few more left! We are all currently listening to Amalia Rodrigues (Fado…beautiful folk music from Portugal) and recovering from our evening at the Village Pub. I had another really fun show tonight at the VP and their front porch was…

dogs, ferrets and pigs, Oh My!
I’m willing to bet pretty good money that my friend Gretchen is one of the top animal lovers of the world. It’s hard for me to keep up with the number of animals she has rescued, but I do know for a fact that the collection includes a cat (Memphis), 2 dogs (Dallas and Droopy),…

Chupete and Choripan’s Nightmare before Christmas
Our poor puppies. They are completely drained after Friday night’s “adventure.” Nuestros pobres cachorros. Estan completamentedestrozados despues de nuestra “aventura” del Viernes. It all started out in the afternoon when Javi got off work early. The Christmas Parade was going on Friday night downtown where he works and his office got out early so they…

Our pupsters and their new tricks
We wanted to post a quick video on this lovely Saturday afternoon of Chupete and Choripan showing off their new tricks. Chupete’s latest one is “up!” – he gets up on his hind legs and hops around for a bit for his treat. We are hoping he’ll eventually be steady on his hind legs, but…

Halloween at Los Rodriguez Mansion
This year was our first Halloween in our house and also the first Halloween getting trick or treaters! We were really excited to see some costumes and hear a few excited “Trick or Treats!!!” (which, by the way, they never ACTUALLY said…but we gave them candy anyway). Este ano fue nuestro primer Halloween en nuestra…

Pooch Porches Lousiana swamp style!
DOG HOUSE CRASHERS! Los Rodriguez Life style! You probably read about our dog houses (If you missed them check them out here ) and how much fun we had building them and decorating them. But believe or not the dogs still haven’t used them very much. Even when it rains Chupete won’t use his –…

We are back to the routine…the dogs not so much…
The summer is over and we are back to our regular routine. Leslie started classes this past Wednesday and I…well, I keep working (no more free summer for me). The summer went by sooo fast, but that is ok because we have plenty of things to look forward to. My family is coming to visit…

A Choripan loose in the park!! – Un Choripan suelto en el parque!!!
We have been waiting for a long time to take Choripan to the dog park and see him making friends! So finally the day came, he has all his vaccines, we had some extra time during the week, and the weather was very pleasant after the rain. We knew he would have a lot of…

The Youngest Rodriguez : Choripan
The youngest member of our family is our 4 month old basset hound / beagle mix named Choripan. His name comes from a typical South American food that involves chorizo and bread, like a hot dog. If he could, he would cuddle all day and lick your toes until you can’t breathe anymore (it’s this…
