Wednesday Dog of the Week...Chiquita

She is a pure bred Chihuahua.........the rescue has quite a few Chihuahua's and Chihuahua mixes in right now....probably because of the popularity of the movies that have come out in the last few years......they are lively little dogs that need strong leadership....without that, there can be problems....they are also not too good around young children...but for someone who has good pack leader skills..they can be very good intelligent companions..loyal and loving....one thing about Chihuhua's..you can take them about anywhere.!..tucked into a tote..Chiquita weighs about 4 lbs......she's very small.....you can find Chiquita at Sun City K9 Rescue


We've been swamped with rain....today another storm is coming in..this is the 4th in 4 days......great for the drought situation here....no damage so far. Our lawn, garden and flowers sure appreciate the rain..everything looks good with the exception of leaves everywhere..the high winds have blown most of the dead leaves off our big trees in the front.....our patio is covered with soggy ones..some clean up to be done but no use doing anything yet until the storms have passed......we were glad to have cleaned out our gutters and downspouts over the last weekend....do you believe most homes here don't have them? We added ours on when we moved in......
Our little river, Lazy Creek is getting full...we figure soon the road will be closed that runs across it....its one of those Arizona bridges that floods out on a regular basis.....
we've been busy re keying foreclosures all week too......trying to get most everything done in the mornings as the storms come in the afternoons....Alan is at one now....


We've been following the Massachusetts election with interest.....Yeah, Scott Brown!
