¡Ataque al Helado! - Ice Cream Attack!

2008-02-24T17:59:00.000-04:30

¡Hola!
Aquí estoy con mamá, esperando a que nos tomen una foto. Su helado estaba tan cerca que no pude resistir la tentación y traté de comerlo. Mi buena suerte duró pocos segundos, porque ella se dió cuenta y me lo quitó. Bueno .. ahora tenemos LA foto!

Hi! I'm here with Mom, waiting for the picture. Her ice cream was so close to me that I could not resist the temptation and I tried licking it. My good luck did not last much for she noticed it and took it away from me. Well... we now have THE picture!

¡Hola! He estado con mi hermana Bambie todo el tiempo. La operaron el martes 13 de noviembre. Salió bien y yo la he cuidado muy bien!
Mamá y yo la buscamos el martes en la noche para que durmiera en casa, pero yo no dormí nada. Estuve despierta toooooda la noche, vigilando a Bambie. ¡Mira la carita de Bambie! Ella no se queja y se toma todas las medicinas. Bueeeeenooooo, ¡aquí está su operación! Se parece a la mía.
Gracias a todos los que han llamado a preguntar por Bambie. Baloo: ya recibimos tu mensaje!

Hi! I have been with my sister Bambie all the time. She had surgery last Tuesday, November 13. She came out all right and I have taken very good care of her. Mom and I picked her up on Tuesday night so Bambie could sleep home, but I did not sleep at all. I was awake all night, looking after Bambie. Look at her face! She does not complain. She takes all her medicine. Well, here is her surgery! It looks like mine.
Thanks to all of you for your calls and prayers.
Baloo: we received your message!

Park Birthday Gathering - Reunión de Cumpleaños en el Parque

2007-08-11T16:42:00.000-04:00

Para seguir celebrando mi cumpleaños, mi amigo JoJo, Bambie y yo fuimos a un parque. JoJo y su mamá me trajeron un regalo delicioso: ¡una galleta en forma de hueso! Fue una tarde soleada y con viento. Caminamos y corrimos por todos lados .. bueno, yo corrí mientras JoJo y Bambie caminaron. JoJo es muy apuesto. Mis amigos Quiro y Kiki no pudieron venir a mi reunión de cumpleaños. Nos reuniremos cuando ellos regresen a la ciudad. Ha sido un día lluvioso en la ciudad, así que Zarita, Carlota, Lorenzo, Chárlese, Charlotte, Tacho, Goldie, Whoopi y Baloo no pudieron venir esta vez. ¡Seguiremos celebrando!
Lucie
#
To celebrate my Birthday, my friend Jojo, Bambie and I went to a park. JoJo and his Mom brought me a delicious present: a bone shaped cookie! It was a nice, sunny and windy afternoon. We walked and ran all over the place… well I ran; JoJo and Bambie walked. JoJo is very handsome. My friends Quiro and Kiki could not come to my Birthday gathering. We’ll meet when they return to the city. It has been raining in and out in the city, so Zarita, Carlota, Lorenzo, Charlezze, Charlotte, Tacho (named after his moustache!), Goldie, Whoopi and Baloo could not come this time. We’ll continue celebrating!

Sin Limites - No Limits

2007-07-20T22:01:00.000-04:00

Mamá me llevó al parque canino en El Cafetal. Es grande, con un espacio grande con grama para correr y jugar, un espacio para descansar con bancos y arboles, y el reto! los obstáculos.

Son un poco grandes para mi, así que aprendí en los obtáculos pequeños: el tunel, el zigzag y en este tan alto, tan alto a más de 1 mertro de altura que me hacía sentir más pequeña. Tengo que subir por una madera y después que llego arriba, tengo que caminar con mucho cuidado sobre una madera angosta hasta que llego al otro lado y después bajo por la otra madera. Guao! Es dificil, pero puedo hacerlo. La primera vez me eché para atrás. Cuando estaba cerca, miré hacia arriba y la madera parecia no tener fin. Mamá me dijo que ella me ayudaría. Ella me decia: Confía en ti Lucie, confía. Y poquito a poco llegué hasta arriba. Después miré la tabla larga y miré hacia abajo, salté a los brazos de mamá. No se veía fácil. Cuando estaba más tranquila, ella me volvió a colocar sobre la tabla alta. Ella estaba a mi lado, vigilandome. No mires hacia abajo, solo mírame y camina poco a poco, mamá decía. Sin darme cuenta, llegué al otro lado. Cuando ya estaba por respirar pensando que habiamos terminado, terror, estaba la tabla de bajada. La cosa no fue tan mala, caminé poquito a poco y zas! llegué abajo. Que alegria! Entonces volvimos otra vez al principio. Volví a subir, caminar y bajar, subir, caminar y bajar, ... Ya lo superé! Ahora, ya sabes lo que se requiere para superar los obtáculos. ;-) Lucie

Mom took me to the dog park in El Cafetal. It is a big park, with a big area with grass to run and play. Another area with benches and trees to rest. And, the challenge: the obstacles area. Those are big for me, so I used the small obstacles: the tunnel, the zig-zag and the 6 inches high obstacle with slabs, it is so high that I feel even smaller. I have to walk up the slab and after I make it to the top, I have to walk on the narrow slab to the other side and walk down the slab. WOW. It seems difficult, but I think I can do it. The first time I tried it, I backed up. When I was closed to it, I looked up and it seemed endless. Mom told me that she would help me. She told me: Trust in you Lucie, Trust. Little by little, I made it top the top. I looked at the long slab, then I looked down and jumped on Mom'd arms. It didn't look that easy! When I calmed down, Mom placed me again on the slab. She was next to me, watching me. Don't look down, just look at me and walk, one step at the time, she said. I made it to the other side. When I was about to take a deep breath thinking I had accomplished it, yikes! there was the slab to walk down. It wasn't that bad. I walked slowly and there I was at the bottom. I felt soooo good! Then we went back to the beginning. I went up, walked and went down. up, walked and down. I mastered it! Now you know what it takes to overcome obstacles. ;-) Lucie

El Sol, por favor - The Sun, please

2007-07-06T15:20:00.000-04:00

¿También llueve en tu casa? ¡Rayos! Aquí llueve todos los días y claro, no puedo salir a pasear. Todas las calles están mojadas. He salido en carro, pero no es igual. Veo los charcos desde mi ventana, y la gente chapotea cuando cruzan las calles. ¡Parece divertido! Pero extraño las caminatas y mis amigos porque todos los parques a donde siempre me llevan están mojados. En los centros comerciales no me dejan caminar. En los restaurantes, ni pensar siquiera en asomar mi patica. Hay muchas restricciones para perros en esta ciudad. ¿Puede alguien por favor traer el sol?

Is it also raining in your home? Heavens! Here it rains every day and of course, I cannot go out walking. All streets are wet. I have gone out by car, but is't not the same. I can see the puddles and the people paddling as the go across the streets. I'm not allowed at the malls. Not even think about going into a restaurant, or even showing my tiny paw in there. There are many restrictions for dogs in this city. Could someone bring back the sun please?

El Secreto - The Secret

2007-07-02T07:15:00.000-04:00

Recuerdo el día cuando Mamá me descubrió jugando con la ropa. ¿A quién no le gusta la ropa suave y tibia, recién salida de la lavadora? Me fascina revolcarme entre la ropa, dar vueltas y vueltas sin parar. Se siente taaaaan suave como si estuviera sobre una nube. Ese día di tantas vueltas que hasta perdí mi peinado. ¡Mamá me pescó in fraganti! Pero me dejó seguir divirtiéndome. Luego, me quitó mi abrigo y cepilló mi pelo. Siempre me preguntan el secreto de mi pelo. Bueno, Mamá me cepilla todos los días para evitar los nudos. Cuando me baño uso shampoo para bebés y acondicionador. Luego, el secreto: Mamá me frota con un líquido suave y perfumado que hace que mi pelo brille. Pero un secreto es un secreto y no lo voy a revelar. Por ultimo, el secador de pelo hasta que mi pelo queda totalmente seco. No me tardo mucho. Puedo estar lista para salir en pocos minutos, así que puedes invitarme. Lucie
#
I remember the day when Mom found me playing with the clothes. Who doesn’t like the soft and warm clothes fresh from the dryer? I love to turn and turn on the clothes without stopping. It feels sooooooo soft; as if I was on a cloud. That day, I turned around so many times that I even lost my hairdo. Mom caught me In Fraganti! Then, she took off my sweater and brushed my hair. I always receive questions about the secret of my hair. Well, Mom brushes me every day to prevent tangles. When I shower, I use baby shampoo and conditioner. Then the secret: Mom rubs me with a soft and perfumed liquid that makes my hair shine. But a secret is a secret. I will not reveal it. Finally, the hair dryer until my hair gets completely dried. It does not take me much. I can be ready in a few minutes, so you can invite me. Lucie

Donación / Donation

2007-06-26T00:01:00.000-04:00

Hoy me divertí mucho cuando acompañé a Mamá a entregar una donación del grupo de obras sociales en un ancianato. Aproveché para saludar a una linda señora. Ella me sonrió y pudimos conversar un poco. El sol estaba brillante y hacia mucho calor. Llevamos 6 bolsas gigantes con ropa y toallas. Nuestros amigos siempre ayudan a conseguir ropas usadas y cosas útiles. Me gusta visitar a los ancianos y hacerlos sonreir. Si quieres saber a donde llevar tus donaciones, escribeme a AskLucie@gmail.com

Today I had fun when I went with Mom to deliver a donation to an elderly home from the charity group. I had some time to say hello to a very kind lady. She smiled at me and we had a nice talk. The sun was shinning and it was very hot. We brought there 6 huge bags with clothes and towels. Our friends always help get used clothes and useful items. I like to visit the elderly and make them smile. If you want to know where to donate, email me at AskLucie@gmail.com

De Guardia / On Duty

2007-06-16T15:25:00.000-04:00

¿Adivinen cuál es mi deber cuando salimos de paseo?
Me convierto en Perro Vigilante. Me subo a la parte trasera del carro, entre el vidrio y el asiento. Alerto a mi mamá cuando otro carro se acerca a nosotros. Algunas veces paramos en los semáforos y las personas cruzan por detrás de nuestro carro y .. ¿adivinen que hacen ellos? Me sonríen y saludan con sus manos. Hasta los pasajeros en otros carros sonríen. Me encanta ir ahí, porque puedo caminar de un lado a otro, y mirar lejos. Claro esta es una ciudad, y mamá solo puede manejar rapido en las autopistas. Así que no hay problema con que yo vaya ahí. Mi abuela se sienta atrás y supervisa mi trabajo. Mamá dice que tratará de tomar una foto la próxima vez para que me vean en acción.
Cuando nuestros amigos nos siguen, yo los guío hasta nuestro destino. No se pierden porque no me quitan la vista en ningún momento.
#
Guess what my duty is while we go out in the car?!
I become a WATCH DOG, I get on top of the back part, on a shelve between the back seat and the rear window. I alert Mom when some other car gets close to us. Sometimes we stop at traffic lights and people cross the street or pass behind our car and guess what they do?! They smile at me and wave their hands. Even the passengers in other cars smile. I like to go there, for I can walk from side to side and look far away. Of course, this is a city, and Mom can only drive fast in the highways. So there is no problem that I go there. GrandMa sits on the backseat and supervises my duty work. Mom said she will try to take a picture of me next time so you can all see me at duty.
When our friends follow us, I lead them and guide them safely to destination. They do not get lost. They keep their eyes on me all the time.

Terapia Canina - Dog Therapy

2007-06-09T15:28:00.000-04:00

Cuando fui al centro comercial con mamá, yo iba en sus brazos porque no me permiten caminar ahí. Pude ver las caras de los ejecutivos y de las elegantes damas caminando como si estuvieran en una caminadora eléctrica. Cuando pasaban cerca de nosotras, noté la tensión en sus caras, me miraban con sorpresa y luego sonreían. Les gusté. Estoy segura que olvidaron su stress. Estoy feliz porque los hice sonreir aunque sea por un segundo. Eso es lo que yo llamo Terapia Canina.
#
Mom and I went to the mall. I was in her arms for I'm not allowed to walk there. I could see all those businessman and fancy women walking around as if they were on a treadmill. As they came close to pass by our sides, I could notice the frowns on their faces and a sudden surprise look at me followed by a smile. They liked me. I bet you they forgot about their stress. I'm happy for I made them smile even if it was for as little as a second. That's what I call The Dog Therapy.

Mamá y mis veterinarios insisten en que debo tomar vitaminas todos los días. Son ricas. Cuando era más pequeña mi pelo no crecía largo como el de otros Yorkies. Y con las vitaminas me está creciendo muy lindo. ¡¡¡Hasta me hacen moños!!! ¡Genial! Toma tus vitaminas tu también.

Mom and my vets insist that I must have vitamins every day. They are delicious. When I was smaller, my hair did not grow as long as other Yorkies'. Now my hair is growing very pretty. I even got the top knot!!! Cool! Remember your vitamins too.

Hola. ¿Te dije que soy la jefa? Aquí estoy en mi silla ejecutiva. ¿Eso me convierte en Directora Ejecutiva? Me tomaron esta foto en medio de mi ocupado dia de trabajo. Ya lo se, me veo muy elegante y chic con el peinado especial que me hizo mamá. Bueno, ya me viste en mi lugar de trabajo. Ya no hay dudas sobre quien es la jefa. Adelante Yorkies!!!
#
Hi. Did I tell you that I am the Boss? Here I am on the Executive Chair. Does that make me a CEO?
I was taken this picture in the middle of a very busy business day. I know I look very classy and chic with the special hairdo from Mom. Well, now you see me at work. There is no doubt as to who is the boss. Come on Yorkies! Go Yorkies!!!

De Compras / Shopping

2007-05-01T00:18:00.000-04:00

Today I went to my private restaurant. There were my favorite Eukanuba and Iams kibbles waiting for me in my kennel. Then I fed the guppies in my 2 gal fish tank. I took some phone calls from friends. I went with Mom to a very important meeting at a very fancy shopping mall. There, we also went to Mom's face spa. I stayed on her lap all the time. So many light bulbs and brushes and powders! I thought I was in Hollywood. After a 1 hour treatment we went to the Swarowski window. Ahhhhhh that's superb! Bye for now,

Mi Primer Peinado - My First Hairdo

2007-04-28T16:50:00.000-04:00

Hola. Ya regresé del veterinario. Mis ojos parecen un poco achinados con este moño que parece una fuente. Pasé toda la mañana allá. Primero estaba escuchando a mamá y a Eleonora, mi veterinaria, hablando sobre mi pelo y planificando de aquí a 3 años. ¡Que esperanza! Finalmente acordaron que mi pelo crecerá más fuerte y Eleonora dijo que pueden dejarme la colita durante el día. Quizás pronto puedan hacerme una trenza! Luego, Eleonora y su equipo entraron en acción: baño, secadores, tijeras .. wow .. me sentí como uno de los lujosos Yorkies de Eleonora en un show canino, rodeada de glamour y cuidados de lujo. Esto es lo que llamo un equipo del programa Fashion Emergency. Espero que mamá aprenda a hacerme este peinado.

Hey! I'm back!!!!
My eyes look pulled up sort of a chinese look with these top fountain/sprinkle. I spent the whole morning there: First I was listening to Mom and Mrs Eleonora, my vet, talking about my hair and planning some 2 or 3 years ahead! Good grief! Finally they agreed that my hair is growing stronger, and Mrs Eleonora said I can have the top sort of knot only during the day. Maybe I can get to have a braid. Second, Mrs Eleonora and her team got into action: bath, dryers, scissorssss, wow I felt as one of Mrs Eleonora's fancy show Yorkies, surrounded by glamour and luxurious care. That's what I call a Fashion Emergency team. I hope Mom learns how to do my hair exactly as today.

I tried hard for her not to take pictures at me. I pulled her camera but noway, she took me another one .. again ...and again ... Could we ever stop Mom from taking pictures? Can't she understand our privacy! lol

This is my sister Bambie. She is a 4 years old Miniature Pinscher.

Bambie and I play a lot together with our many toys.

We are very good sisters.

The Perfect Nap

2007-04-14T18:27:00.000-04:00

There's nothing better than an afternoon nap, but a nap with my friends: Jules (mouse) and Ted (bear).

I was covered by the new blankie that Mom got me.

Life's so cool.

Auntie Cele

2007-04-12T21:13:00.000-04:00

I had so much fun with Auntie Cele. When she came to visit us, I could show her my new steps. I went up and down couple times for her to see how cool it is.
She was surprised for I will not be bigger. At the same time she was happy for since I am so tiny, I would not hurt her back.
I showed her my toys and my flower collar and charms.
I like Auntie Cele!!!

I want to work with Mom!!!

2007-04-11T22:31:00.000-04:00

I had it all planned. This morning I was playing close attention to all while Mom was picking up her purse and portfolio to go to work. As soon as Grandma opened the main door, and the elevator's door opened, I ran as fast as I could. I passed between Mom's shoes, shortened the distance to the door and passed next to Grandma, then I finally crossed the borderline (the main door)! All I thought was "I can do it, I can do it" There it was, the magic box that takes me down to the garage or up to our cozy home. It's door was open. I made a right turn and jumped into the elevator but that was it ... I felt Mom's hand around my body, lifting me upppppp!!!!! Would it be to celebrate my 1st place on the race? Did I win? Nope! Mom simply hugged me, brought me in again and told me "Nice try Lucie, but you are not allowed in my work" She kissed me much and promised me a nice walk out when she returns from work.

Today: I am 8 months and independent

2007-04-07T10:21:00.000-04:00

Dear friends,

I have big news to share:

* Today is my 8th month. We will celebrate with treats.
* My Vet said I am totally ok from my small surgery, no more medicines! He removed the stitch, so I am totally free to stretch, jump, climb and cuddle!!!
* I just mastered the 4 steps to Mom's bed! I have no fear. I go up and down when I want to.

Today I became independent! (Well, I think so)

Mom has small treat bags to give to all my fur friends I find on the way to the vet, the local pet store and the plaza where I will meet with my local yorkie friends.
I wish you all were here with me today, my big day!

Yours,
Lucie

Mom caught me!

2007-04-02T20:32:00.000-04:00

It's 3 days since my surgery. I have been ok, except that I don't like the medicines, but who does?!?! I have been difficult with the food too, but who isn't???

You would not believe this, but Mom caught me while I was pulling the thread. Right at that same time when my teeth were pulling the stitch! Oh! what a look! and worst: what a scream! I froze instantly!

She took me to my Vet right away. He checked the stitches and sprayed a silver thing, so now I have a silver belly! WOW that's luxury!!!

My Vet said that I still cannot jump but in a few days I'll be 100% ok. Ready to Rock!!!

I am finally back home and OK! (or KO?)

2007-03-30T23:00:00.000-04:00

Mom took me to the vet early this morning. There was no traffic, so we made it there by 8:00 am. There he was, my vet, waiting for me. Mom left and after hugging and kissing me much, she promised to come pick me up soon. And she showed right away, ... well ... at 5 pm. To me, it seemed pretty soon for I spent the day literally knocked out! Vet told Mom that my surgery finished around 9:30 am, and that I stayed in the ICU (Intenside CUDDLE Unit?!) till 1 pm. It all went all right and I woke up in great shape. That's when Mom called to check on me. I waited for Mom in the after surgery area, close to my Vet. There she was! Big Smile! We got home after stopping at the drugstore and driving through heavy traffic. Mom said in the car that we would camp on the living room for a few days till I was fully recovered. I didn't know what she meant when she told me we would have a Japanese camping. Based on previous experience, the first thougt that came to my mind was of airplanes and airports again! But .. oh! this time I felt I was in no way ready for another trip. Well ... I soon found out what our very own Japanese camp started to looked like: Mom brought blankets, pillows, quilts, my bed, the teddy bears and Rita, the medicines (yikes!) and her cellphones and laptop. It became OUR SPACE! with big tv screen and our 2 gallon fish tank so we could also see my guppies: Max and l'Orange and their 4 1 week old babies. I liked our camp right away. Mom gave me the medicine, turned off the lights and I cuddled in her arms. Mom promised me that my tummy stitches would not hurt. zzzzzzz

Nací el 7 de agosto de 2006 (Jenny's Female) en Missouri, Estados Unidos de América. Conocí a mi mamá el 23 de diciembre de 2006 en Florida, después de haber viajado solita por American Airlines desde Missouri a Dallas, TX (ahí me quedé atrapada en el aeropuerto durante 6 horas por una tormenta de nieve) y de ahí fui hasta el Aeropuerto de Fort Lauderdale. Luego en enero de 2007 viajamos por Delta desde Miami, FL hasta Atlanta, GA, donde nos quedamos atrapadas en el aeropuerto, pero esta vez por un tornado, durante 3 días a casi 2°C. Cuando pudimos viajamos a casa en Caracas, Venezuela.

I was born on August 7, 2006 as Jenny's Female in Missouri, USA.

Then on January we traveled together from Miami to Atlanta (where we got trapped in the airport because of a tornado for 3 days at 32°F) and then we flew overseas to our home in Caracas, Venezuela.
