Vixen is my little Chihuahua princess, born October 1, 2007. She was a wonderful, precious gift from my awesome big sister Dana. Her favorite pastimes are torturing her brother Brooskey, and chewing on the biggest chewy toy she can find. These are all of the entries which mention her.

A couple of weeks ago we took a day trip to Groton, Connecticut to my former coworker Norm's house. The primary purpose of the trip was to help Norm set up his new business computer, but we also brought Brooskey and Vixen along to play with his two Australian Shepherds, Summer and Merlin...

Winter. My most hated time of year. Specifically, that long stretch of winter after the fun of the holidays is gone, until it's possible to comfortably wear short sleeves outside again...

Today's misery aside, I had a pretty awesome Christmas. I totaled up $330 in cash and gift cards toward my new camera - the one thing I wanted this year...

Last week was rough on Brooskey and Vixen; we weren't home much. By Saturday they, Brooskey especially, were unbearably hyper and anxious...

I shot this a couple of weeks ago but it's taken a while to get the tools I needed to edit it (I used Chris' iPhone 3GS, and even though I shot it in landscape mode, it came out in...

I've been doing a monthly masthead (header image) for confoozled.com for two years, and I'm starting to run out of ideas for them. I always choose a background photo that is somehow related to the month in question...

The biggest weekend of the summer is over, and Joe & Sandra have finally tied the knot! It was an awesome weekend, starting with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on Saturday, the big event on Sunday, and even our recovery day off from work yesterday (Monday)...

The morning of the 4th (my actual birthday), we woke up early to try to catch the little neighborhood Fourth of July parade in my boss' neighborhood. When we realized we were an hour early (I blame my boss for that), we decided to skip it and take the dogs to the dog park instead...

I've been looking into some of the new "pocket" video cameras, and for the next few weeks I'm borrowing a friend's Flip Video to try out and decide if it's a design I can even use. My issue is with holding it upright and still being able to see the screen...

I've just finished up my last "free" weekend for the next couple of months. With the schedule we've got this summer, it's going to be really difficult to get anything done, so this weekend we tried to accomplish as much as possible...

We had a gorgeous weekend here in New England, though it did start out a little bit chillier than expected. We took advantage of the beautiful, sunny weather, and took Brooskey and Vixen to the dog park Saturday morning. Unlike...

Chris found this for me this morning: There is a pair of nine-week-old Chihuahua puppies here in Rhode Island who were born without front legs. They were taken in by an organization called Just A Touch Rescue, and they are receiving physical therapy to teach them how to manage life on two legs...

After taking a nap inside my fleece hoodie last night (yes, while I was wearing it), Vixen went over to Chris to ask for her "fratchies". And I guess I should explain this technical term...

Christmas is almost here, and things are getting busy, so I may not be able to post as regularly over the next week or so (you already saw evidence of this last week). And I'm sorry that all of my entries as of late have just been personal updates and not thought-provoking spoutings of my unpopular opinions...

Since I can't afford to buy gifts for everyone in my family this Christmas, I've decided I will at least send a Christmas bouquet or centerpiece to my Mom's house. Or maybe a Christmas gift basket from 1-800-Flowers...

I finally got Vixen on video growling at the squeaky football. It wasn't as funny as the first time when her growls were turning into whines of frustration, but I think it's still pretty darn cute...

Wit's Bitch thinks she might have a hairball, and I think I can relate! I coughed up a hairball myself the other night. Well okay, it wasn't so much a hairball as just a single long strand of hair (probably my own)...

As you can see, it's hard to catch Vixen in any one place for too long. In the last scene, it's hard to see, but that's a laser pointer Brooskey is chasing up and down the hallway - otherwise known as the "red bug"...

Thankfully, another week is over. I'm not completely caught up at work from my vacation last week, but I'm getting there. I'd probably be further along if I hadn't spent half of this week undoing everything the oh-so-helpful temp did in my absence...

One nice thing about one's birthday being a federal holiday is that it only costs four vacation days to take the week off (unless it falls on a Saturday, of course... then I get screwed). I don't know what I'm going to do that week, yet...

The two of them are getting along really well, though there are still a few arguments a day, but being that they are both very strong-willed, that may always be the case. Brooskey really loves to play with Vixen, but still hasn't quite figured out how much is too much for her...

Brooskey is maturing more every day and we look forward to all the fun we're going to have with him when he's full grown. And I'm already madly in love with this little girl, even before ever seeing her in person...
