Snuggle



Dear Babies,


I know that you often shred your puppy pad so I can pick up the pieces that you've thoughtfully scattered over the kitchen for me when I get come from work.

I know that you sometimes confuse the carpet for the pee pad.


I know that Bear sometimes bites too hard and Bitty wiggles into places she doesn't belong in.


I know that you have a fascination with chewing the edges of my pants, the table, my shirt, Ben's shirt, the blanket, the couch--really, whatever is handy.


But....


I know that your little tails nearly fall off every morning with excitement when you see me at the baby gate.


I know that Bear trails me across the house, always one step behind mine.


I know Bitty curls her head in the crook of my elbow and sighs softly.


I know that Bear sits on my feet while I cook, staring up at me adoringly.


I know that Bitty only gets really excited when Ben walks in the room. Her eyes never leave him.


I know that you both love to pounce on leaves outside and carry them proudly in your mouths.


I know that you curl up in my lap every morning during breakfast and sit on my stomach while I'm trying to do situps.


I know that at work I count the hours until I can come home and see your hopeful little faces.


And I know that no matter how much you might chew, pee or break my heart when you cry when I walk out of the room...


That I am utterly devoted to you furry little fuzzballs. So is Ben. He just doesn't admit it as fast.

OMG....I nearly burst into tears upon seeing the babies snuggling together with Bitty's arm thrown protectively over her brother. I CANNOT wait to see them in a couple of weeks. This the best picture...plus don't you just love them even tho they drive you a bit batty at times???? You just cannot stay mad at them when they misbehave.

Ohhh, how can a person fail to fall in love with those two beautiful little creatures. I am feeling deprived now. I want me some Chihuahua love of my own. *sniff *sniff I guess I'll just have to love yours vicariously through your blog. Those pictures are absolutely adorable!

They totally depend on you. To know they love you back makes any inconveniences worth it.
