I have been meaning to write in here for so long so just a quick post will do for now. Edie is going to be 3 years old in July and Effie is 1 year old now this past April. Edie weighs about 6 lbs and so does Effie, though Edie is a few ounces heavier. Here is a cute photo of them, Effie is sitting up front with her huge ears, the cute little Chihuahua Yorkie Mix we call a Chorkie. She is playful and sweet and she and Edie get along great. She was harder to potty train then Edie but she is fully trained now and doing well in that area.
Below is a cute photo of Edie in my lap, she is a real sweet Chihuahua.
Here is Effie our cute little Chorkie.
It’s almost summer, the girls keep me busy. I always say it’s like having toddlers with these two around. These little dogs have so much energy and especially little Effie. We call Effie, Little Effie and Edie, Sweetie Edie.
In March we took the pups on a Coastal Vacation with us as we traveled up the coast of California via HWY 1 staying in Monterey and our friends condo and then on to San Simeon to the Hearst Castle. Lucky for us the weather was not hot and we were all able to enjoy our trip with the pups. We ended our trip with a stop in Southern CA, Simi Valley at the Ronald Reagan Library. That was the hardest place to find a hotel that would take dogs. Shame on Simi Valley! But in San Simeon we found a wonderful place to stay right on the beach. Many hotels take pets these days and some don’t even charge a fee, which was the case in San Simeon they didn’t charge us a pet deposit. Anyway the dogs were good as dogs can be and our trip was great.
Lucky for us we took our trip before the awful price of gas hit to bad, though it was quite a bit higher then we would have liked. The previous year (07) gas prices were much lower when we took our trip to Las Vegas Nevada and the Grand Canyon Arizona as well as Sedona. We took Edie on this trip and that was before we had Effie. We found places to stay that took pets in Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Sedona. It’s nice that you can travel with your pets these days. We had taken our trip in February. It was a great time of year to visit Arizona.
Well that’s about it for my post right this time. I have totally neglected my little pet blog. ~Kat
Tell me – where did you eventually find a place to stay in Simi with the puppers? And you’re right – SHAME on Simi Valley for not being more pet friendly when we’re home to the prestigious Ronald Reagan Presidential Library! What did you think of the library, incidentially? Did you tour Air Force One?
Linda, We loved the Presidential Library. It was my second time there and I have a photo of us on the Air Force 1. They take it for you before you board.

BTW, I LOVED the photos of Edie and Effie! I do rescue (only the small Chihuahuas and Chinese Cresteds though) and we have a Chi with the oversized ears too… Thank goodness my husband didn’t win out on naming her though… He opted for “BatGirl”, but my daughter and I felt that was cruel, so we started calling her “B.G.”, which eventually became “BeeGee”… I suspect she might be a Chi/Doxie mix (AKA CheenieWeenie), but many of your photos remind me of that same endearing look that BeeGee gives us throughout the day!
