There’s one thing that makes me very happy: having all my animals snuggled around me. Of course, it hasn’t actually happened yet. But we’ve come close.
Simba & Lola share the couch . . . barely
I’ve had a couple of times recently where Chester & Lola were laying on the couch with me, as usual, and then Simba jumped on top of the couch, and made his way down onto me.
The first time it happened, apparently he got too close to Lola for comfort, and she lunged at him. She got put off the couch & made to do puppy push-ups, and so far she has left him alone when he chooses to snuggle with me — with her already there.
The above photo might not have happened if I hadn’t been there to facilitate it. Still, you’ll notice that I wasn’t close to Simba & Chester . . . but they’re close together.
The next couple are just me & the dogs, but for impromptu portraits, they came out suprisingly well.
Now just have to Photoshop the cats in . . .
Gizmo is glaringly absent from these pictures, you’ll notice. No, he will not share a couch with the dogs. He had gotten to the point where he’d lay on top of a couch if Chester was on it, after months, but apparently 2 dogs are 2 too many for him.
We recently moved our living room furniture, though, and now the couch is against the front windows — where the birds are. So there’s definitely been a bit more interaction between Gizmo & the dogs.

What kind of dog is Chester? I have a dog, Bo, looks just like Chester. When I got Bo, I was told he is a long haired chihuahua. But I haven’t seen another long hair Chihuahua looks like him. Bo is six years old now, he still got some time to go. But I think we will have to get another one like him when he’s gone. I always want to know what he realy is. Thanks.

Chester is a long-haired Chihuahua mix; we don’t know what he’s mixed with, we only know for certain there’s some long haired Chihuahua in there.
If you look through Chihuahua books, he looks very much like a Chihuahua — except for the floppy ears (which we love), and the fact that his tail doesn’t curve up over his back
