Awww

So we just had a heartbreaking moment. Shawn left on Tuesday morning for a new rig and I was laying here in bed contemplating on if my throat tickle is the start of a cold or because I havent been taking my thyroid meds...
Anyhow I am laying here with the dogs and all of a sudden Choco gets up and darts to the door and starts whining, Lily in turn gets up and goes to sit by the door as well. I get up thinking WOW they have never alerted me like that when they have to go to the bathroom but that is awesome! I didnt bother hunting down my flip flops cause I figured with Choco whining that maybe he had to go really bad and couldnt wait!! So I open the door and they both fly out, Choco takes off down the stairs and takes off across the grass towards the end of the lot which corners to a main road. I am yelling for him to get his butt back and Lily who was waiting for me to carry her pregnant butt down the stairs to go piddle has flattened herself againist the deck cause she thinks I yelling at her. Poor girl but I am so concerned about Choco running into the road- didnt happen though because what I failed to realize is that there is a diesel work truck parked and idling at the end of the alley, poor Choco thought his dad had come home and he was eager to greet and love on him. Poor thing was up on his hind legs trying to see into the driver side to figure out why Shawn wasnt calling out to him like he always does when he gets home. Once he did a complete inspection around the truck and realized that it wasnt Shawn he darted back up the stairs with his sad little eyes and face. Poor little guy!!! It is almost ridiculous how much we love our little dogs, they are so spoiled. Shawn and I always stop and ponder how great of dogs we have- especially Choco since we have raised him together since we got him as a puppy he has grown into such a great dog and truly is a compassionate lil guy. I told Shawn the other night that Choco must have been a man who believed in chivalry in his last life because he gets himself so upset and worried about Lily especially right now when she is so close to delivering the puppies. Even though she is being nasty and growling at him when he tries to lay next to her, he has been refusing to eat! We had been really worried about him being so darn skinny that a friend of ours back in Phoenix turned us onto a dog food that he called puppy crack! We started Choco on a diet of the puppy crack mixed with some wet dog food and he has made quite an improvement in his weight- so for him to refuse to eat is a pretty big deal to us. Shawn was getting pretty annoyed with Choco for not eating, we were blocking him off from the rest of the apt and leaving him in the kitchen whining and all like he is a little kid who wont finish his vegetables! Well Tuesday night I decided to see how he would react if I gave Lily her own bowl of food- low and behold that was his problem! He was wanting her to have his food since he senses that there is something wrong with her (pregnant), the poor dog was so relieved to see her get her own food that while he was chowing down the cat walked by him to get to the water he growled at the cat!! Man do we love our chihuahuas!!
