We finally have a kitchen ceiling! Yay!! Mommy painted all day today while Daddy played with the outside lights. Mommy had a worklight set up so she could see. It was nice and warm, I spent most of the afternoon suntanning in front of it, This drove Mommy nuts as I blocked all her light. She really wasn't doing a very good job though - she really didn't need to see what she was doing.
Mommy wanted to paint yesterday but she was too busy groaning all day. Aparently she ran 11 miles in teh morning. She looked worse then she ever has befpre. She even had bum sweat. HEh heh. Gross lady. Panting is so much more dignified then bum sweat. Although rumour has it she was doing a bit of that too. She even had armpit chaffing.
The movie in Victoria is over now so Mommy is officially unemployed again. YIPPEE lots of walk with me and Birdie this week.
By the way there is nothing finer then a pile fo Daddy's dirty work sweaters. (They are lying by the front door and I am going to go curl up and have a nap in them as soon as I am done. Mommy wants me to mention this pile is nowhere near the washer and dryer or the laundry baskets/hampers. Not sure why that is important.)

I finally got to sleep a bit today. I got up early with Mommy and we walked down to the beach. Then she brought me home and I got to stay here and sleep while she went to work. At lunch she picked me up and I got to go to set with her. I tried to meet Kim again but she kept stopping me. Her make up lady was totally in love with me again today. Even was picking me up and giving me kisses - but no Kim. Kim came out of her trailer while I was standing in front so I wagged my tail best I could and looked as sweet as possible. But alas. I am too tiny she didn't look down enough to see me standing there.
No Kim for Minou.
However something MUCH BETTER happened.
Today was the last day of shooting for the movie so Mommy and Nancy had a party to go to. They came home ate some food and left again. Notice I didn't say - came home, ate some food, cleaned up some food, pushed the chairs under the table and left again... heh heh
I had shaved turkey, aged gouda cheese, avocado, apple, crackers. It was FABULOUS! I have never been so lucky. I hope Mommy and Nancy go to another party tomorrow. It was tricky - everything was in little plastic packages so I had to open them very carefully. The cheese and turkey were wrapped in another layer - wax paper. There should be less packaging for puppies. I figured Mommy would be impressed. She left my bag of treats on the table and I didn't touch them. I only ate "supper" I accidentally dropped the gouda on the floor though.
When they got home they threw out everything I didn't finish. WHY? I could have finished it tomorrow if they didn't want it. Stupid Mommy.
I think we are going to the beach early tomorrow again so I better go to sleep.

I am SO the centre of attention in Victoria. This is great. Just like the good old days before Birdie came. Today Mommy had the day off so she said we would sleep in. I don't know what planet she is on where 7:30am is sleeping in. Mommy went for a run and I promptly went back to bed. Then we went shopping with Nancy. Everyone wanted to pet me and told me I was SUPER CUTE and one lady said I was the prettiest chihuahua she had ever seen. After awhile I was tired so I fell alseep in my bag while Mommy and Nancy kept shopping. We even went to a pet store and I got puppy pizza.
Later Mommy and Nancy went out for supper so I barked a whole bunch. Just to make her feel guilty and stay home. It didn't really work but I did get more treats.
Now we are cuddling on the couch chewing rawhide. It has been a fun day with Mommy. Tomorrow though Mommy has to go back to work and she said I can't come because there is a lady there who is really allergic to me. That sucks. Kim will wonder what happened to me. I wish she would call.

ok. i got to go with Mommy! Yippee! We are in Victoria BC. Mommy is making a movie - she isn't living in the ocean. We had to take a big boat here. It was scary. But we arrived late last night. I was so excited. I was hyper instead of sleepy. I only slept a little and then early this morning Mommy took me for a walk on the beach.
Then we went to work. It was boring. Finally we went to set for lunch.
Kim Basinger didn't know I was there but I knew she would want to meet me if she did so I kept running away to her trailer. Mommy kept catching me though and and wouldn't let me go. Finally I met her make up artist so I thought - THIS IS IT I AM IN!!! But NOOOOO.... Again Mommy stopped me. Then I saw her driver and the door to the car was open so I thought I would get in. BUT NOOOOOO!!! she stopped me again. I hope that Kim finds out I was there and tells mommy I can visit her. Or maybe her pretty make up lady will tell Kim I wanted to see her. I almost tried pooping in front of her trailer as a secret signal for her. Again Mommy stopped me.
Mommy is no fun.
Finally we went back to the office. I was pretty tired so I slept the rest of the day. We are actually home early but I am TIRED. so I will go to bed early.
Kim - call me. (But not on Mommy's cell phone)

burdee purtee puppee

burdee most beeuteeful.
meneu so-so

mommy was living at the bottom of the ocean last week. But she is ok. She is even dry. I didn't think she could swim that well but apprently the bloated whale does allright if she keeps up with those fish ladies.
She says I can come with her next week. I am a little worried that means I go with her and the fish ladies underwater but if she tries I will run away and I am way faster then her.
Mommy ran 9 miles yesterday and it took her 1 hour and 40 minutes - I could totally run that far in 5 minutes so there is no way she could catch me.
Birdie doesn't get to come either - just me and Mommy! YAY!
