Me! Me! Me!

I am diverting away from Wallace's tale yet again to talk about one of my favorite subjects - me! The reason for this brief departure is that I have noticed some new visitors from Ohio to my site. These visitors have been directed to this site when searching "chihueagle" on the Google(TM?) search engine. Unfortunately the blog entry that they get linked to does not contain anything about me - not even a picture! This needs to stop, thus I will talk about how wonderful I am in this, the 69th post.


I am a wonderful Chihueagle - that is a mix between a beagle and a chihuahua. Some people call us "cheagles" or "Chi-eagle" but I prefer Chihueagle as it sounds cuter, like myself. I like food, I howl and my nose is always in search of a good scent be it garbage, a dead animal or dirty underwear (ed. you also like run-on sentences it seems!). My nose is not as long as a typical beagle's and I have slightly "bulgy" eyes; this I get from the chihuahua side I think. I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to cuddle - this is likely a beagle and chihuahua attribute!


So there you go all you google searchers. This is the word as written by an adored chihueagle.
(by the way I am also from Ohio - go Buckeyes!) Woof.

Baby face buckeye.

As I noted above, this picture is not exactly a picture of me as a pup but I'd like to think that I looked much like this pup (if not a bit cuter - but I may be biased, just saying). This is a picture of a chihueagle whose elicit genetic/parental history I do not know of but this blog is rated "G" so I will not make any assumptions.

Anyway, enough about that "other" puppy. I thought I'd share a little history of myself today. I am actually from THE Ohio State - yup I'm a Buckeye - and yup you must put the "THE" in when you say Ohio State. I was found on the side of the road one cold December evening in 2002 after being hit my a car. I don't remember what got me to that point but I am pretty sure that it had something to do with my nose taking me on an adventure chasing down a rabbit or a tasty cheeseburger. My original name was "Claire" because I was found on Claire Road. THE Ohio State veterinary school was kind enough to do surgery on me paid for out of their Good Samaritan fund because I had fractured my fibula, my tibia and had several pelvic fractures. Believe it or not I have metal pins in my right leg. Well it was during my hospital stay that my luck changed as I was lucky enough to meet mom who adopted me (and *sigh* my brother Riley on the SAME day). She had just lost a dog that got killed by a car. Anyway, since that fateful meeting I have been more adored than I could have ever imagine. woof. I could still really use that aforementioned cheeseburger, however.

The Chihueagle's new clothes.

As the astute reader that I know you are - you may have noticed that my blog page has changed backgrounds. I have no one but my dad-2b to thank for this. While mom was busy making dinner last night dad-2b was busy creating my new blog "clothes." I liked the polka dot look of the previous page, however, this was the very same background that mom's friend "L" (and bride 2b!) uses for her blog and it was becoming very difficult for dad 2b to figure out whose blog page he was reading. Personally, I find it hard to believe that he could mistake a page with fun filled wedding details with a page that has the cuteness of a chihueagle on it...I think that he just wanted to do something nice for me. Whatever the reason, thank you! Woof.

Virgin No more

Hello reader(s). Toffee here. In case you have not read the title of this blog I am, admittedly, an adored Chihueagle. You may wonder what a "chihueagle" is. Well, I will enlighten you - a chihueagle is a dog that is a unique mix of a beagle and a chihuahua - do you feel enlightened now? As you can see from my picture I look mostly like a beagle. I also act mostly like a beagle as I love, love, LOVE food, and sniffing things, and sleeping - did I mention I love food? So there you have it - I have written my first blog - I am a virgin no more.
