About me:
I am a ten year old Chihuahua mix named after Metallica members. My favorite toys are the ones I can destroy really quickly. I really, really like belly rubs.
1/2/15: The human caught me sleeping on the Superman pillow. Oops.
1/1/2015:
The human made me a pillow with her new sew machine thing. Then she puts it on the sofa and moves the blanket I'm used to sitting on. So I haven't used the pillow yet. So there. I mean, what was wrong with the blanket?
I guess there was some debate in the fabric store about whether I'm more Superman or Iron Man (Cuz of the metal in my system when the human brought me home, and therefore the Metallica based name). The human says the Superman fabric was softer, plus it said "Man of Steel." Sigh. The L and the back of the pillow are fabric from curtains that the human didn't need any more. REALLY? And she wonders why I haven't slept on it yet.
I think I'll let her wait a bit before I try it out.

The human posted a video by The Julie Ruin on her part of this blog today. I prefer this video, and I'm sure you can see why:

I realized today that I rock as a trainer of humans. Here are some reason why:
I'm drinking water, and every time I pause and look at the human she says "Hi!"
When she sits down by the computer and I come over, she always picks me up so I can sit on her lap.
At certain times of the day I go stand by my food dish and she puts food in it.
I sit by the door and she takes me out.
When she's done eating, I just look at her and she sighs, says "Ok", and gives me some of my food.
When she's petting me and stops, I just pat her hand with my paw and she starts petting me again.
At night when I jump off the bed she wakes up and says "Lars, stay in one place!" So I jump back up and she goes back to sleep. Just for fun sometimes I do it again. If I do it too often she can be grumpy the next day, but she's never mad at me.
Maybe I can be a consultant for other animals whose humans need training or something.

It's that time of year again. I'm already getting presents (hey, the human loves me). This year, I'm going a little bit international for my holiday song selection. I am a Chihuahua, after all. Who is named after a drummer from Denmark, but whatever.
As you might remember from last year, my absolute favorite holiday song is The Little Drummer Boy. I like the version I posted last year, but the human really likes this group from a show called The Sing-Off, so to humor her I posted their version.
Happy holidays everyone!
XOXO

My first post of the new year! The human asked me if I wanted to start a separate blog for myself instead of just this page, but I told her I didn't really have the time. I mean, I have so much napping and playing and other dog stuff to do.
So for now, here are my favorite human phrases:
1. "Food." Usually used when she wants to get me to come inside so she can watch some hot guy (whatever that means!) on the loud box in the room with the couch. But hey, whatever gets me food. And along that same theme are:
2. "Do you want (your breakfast, your dinner, a snack)?"
3. "What time is it?" This means it's finally time for my dinner. Sometimes she slips up and says it because she actually wants to know what time it is, but I'm already standing over my food bowl by that point. Too late.
Others:
4. "I love you, too". I can get this one by jumping on her lap and staring at her.
and
5. "I love you, bug". Don't ask me- I'm a dog, not a bug.
6. "Big hugs". Said while she grabs me and hugs me really hard. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Silly human.
and last but not least:
7. "Go get your toy!" This, of course, is the cue for play. My favorite toy right now to "go get" is still the Grinch that was a Christmas present from my Aunt.
A couple I'm not fond of:
1. "You're a funny dog". Seriously, what is she laughing at, exactly?
2."It's not time to get up yet". Yes it is, it really is.

The human has figured out (finally) that she can kinda make videos on that thing she uses a lot. This is her second try. It's also uploaded at hitRECord.org, so if you're a hitRECorder also, you can use it to remix something if you want.
12/26/2012:
My loot this year:
An elf toy and a Grinch toy. They're already almost done for (but I still want to take them outside, and the human won't let me).
Treats- the human says they're grain-free, whatever that means. They just taste good- like apples, bananas, and carrots.
Lots of hugs. Not that much different from other days, but there might have been more of them. I couldn't tell.
A gift card to my favorite pet store so I can get more toys to destroy. If I promise not to bark at the other dogs, the human will take me with her. She always believes me.
12/14/2012:
My favorite version of the Little Drummer Boy. The human wanted the Celtic Woman live performance, but I like this better.
12/5/12:
This is my card to Santa this year. The human has promised to get it to him. Here is the front of the card:
And the inside of the card:

The things I'm giving thanks for this year:
1. A warm lap to sit on
2. My walks
3. Belly rubs
4. All my toys
5. That moment when the human walks in the door.
6. That I'm healthy and my scars hardly show now from when those dogs attacked me
7. That I have plenty of food (though not as often as I would like)
