Party Animal


Chuy is modeling a new pinto cowboy hat today. It's really fancy and has stars on the band and a nice elastic band under his chin so it won't come off easily. Chuy is less than enthusiastic about it. That's about as excited as he got with it. At least, he's suffering through with it and not trying to chew the darned thing off.
We celebrated Bill's birthday with a Mexican dinner at Los Hermanos. Most of us ordered the Machaca Chimichanga Deluxe, so here was a huge fried pork filled delicacy swimming in mounds of gaucamole and sour cream. (Hey, if you only indulge every other week or so, it won't show on your hips and thighs too much, will it?) Then we came back here for a decadent Mocha Cheesecake drizzled with dark chocolate coating to top off our arteries even better.
No, Chuy had to miss the restaurant dinner. But he loved having company. Mother and Dad came up from Casa Grande with Glo and Al and Tom came up from Apache Junction. So all of our family that's in Arizona shared in today's celebration. He performed all the of tricks he's learned so far: Shake; Sit; Stay; Fetch; Catch and a bit of Bang, Bang, You're Dead! but he's not fond of that one. He is fond of treats however, so will patiently endure when it comes to that one. Mostly he was just glad of having fresh blood around to play with. Even the puppy is getting tired of just Bill and me, I guess. Wishes he had some little boys around to play with. And like Chuy, so do I!
