Social Networking

I love social networking! It started with Facebook and now I' almost all over the place. Facebook has allowed me to connect with friends and co-workers, then former classmates I haven't seen in over 30 years, to more recently develop friendships with dog lovers, particularly Chihuahua lovers.

My Twitter feed has evolved into an animal loving one. My Chihuahua pin board on Pinterest is extremely popular. More recently, I have been using Instagram where once again, my posts are mostly of my dogs & cats. I also follow those that I am friends with on Facebook, follow on Twitter. Now I am also making new Chihuahua connections all over the world! Pinterest is good, but you don't have the interaction with others as you do on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

With Instagram, I've once again become interested in photography. Having an iPhone has taken that a step further in being creative with my photos. You can put wigs on your dogs, take several pictures and make a collage, and you can frame your pictures. Below is a sample of my creativity with my photos.

So if you want to see chihuahua photos, you can find me at: Debbie Cavallo O'Halloran on both Facebook and Pinterest, debbieo64 on Instagram, and @dlohalloran on Twitter. I'm on Google+ too, but haven't been on it much. Feel free to follow me.

Happy New Year's

Well I thought I would share some pics of my chi's that I created on New year's Eve. As a tribute to Big Shadow I even got him in the party! Who says pets don't celebrate holidays at The Rainbow Bridge? Happy New Year and enjoy the pics.

Belated Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas to my dear Shadow. RIP, baby. I ❤ you!

Shadow 12/10/09 - 9/13/12

It's taken me awhile to write this post. In September, I lost one of my three Chi's. I lost my little (maybe not so little, he was 17.5 pounds) boy Shadow. It happened suddenly & unexpectedly. Shadow lost his life to autoimmune disease. Something was causing his white blood cells to dramatically increase and kill off his red blood cells.

Since dogs can't tell us what's bothering them, we can't figure out what the root cause is that is causing the pets' body to turn on itself. Some pet parents are fortunate and able to determine the cause. Some pets handle the treatment well and live long lives. In most cases where a pet survives, the pet must be monitored continuously and take meds.

After two blood transfusions and lots of meds, Shadow was one of the unlucky ones that didn't survive. He was only 2.5 yrs old. It was a very cruel, unfair way to go OTRB, but he's not sick or suffering. It was extremely hard to deal with and has thrown me into depression.

We have since decided to get two more Chihuahuas. They could never replace Shadow, but they have helped me and the girls (Belle, his littermate and Diva). Last week, Belle turned 3, so would have Shadow.

R.I.P. Sweet boy, Happy Birthday, and Merry Christmas.

Shadow Just Chilling

Here's a recent picture of Belle's littermate Shadow. He is hanging out on Daddy's chair.

Belle - 09/11/11

I haven't posted much lately. Searching for a job takes a lot of your time.

Yesterday, Belle & I had some "me" time outside. I snapped this picture while she was chilling out.

Today has been a relatively quiet day...so far.  The  puppies got a lot of exercise between last night and today so I think they are now in the process of re-energizing to prepare for trouble!  It will soon be dinnertime where things get very hectic.  As long as Mason doesn't go near their food, all is quiet, but the moment he goes near it...you have never seen dogs spring into action flying towards the food bowl growling and barking to stay away from their food dish.

Diva Baby Picture

This is one of the first pictures I took of Diva after I got her.  She was so tiny then.  She still seems small, but I can tell the difference.  She is smart as a whip and is a jumper.  In fact if I can just get a video at the perfect time, she actually leaps through the air.  She looks like a little reindeer!  She seems innocent (by herself, LOL), but when you get her with Belle & Shadow, forget it, that innocence goes right out the window!  She will be starting beginner dog training this weekend along with my other two.  What a handful! 

Belle's Yoga Pose

Hey Mom - can’t you see I’m meditating and in the middle of my yoga pose?

Diva

My third chihuahua, Diva. The only time I seem to get a half way decent picture of her is when she is resting. Every time she sees me with a camera, she takes off.
