Arlene

I love my Chihuahua Riley. She just turned 1 on February 28th. I've had her since April 2005. She is the cutest little thing as you can see from the picture on my profile. Most of my spare time is spent playing with her and taking care of her in general. Having a pet is just like being a parent. I have to feed her, bathe her, take her to the vet and all in all just making sure she is happy and healthy. I think I've done a pretty good job so far. She's a little spoiled, but what can I say, she's my baby. I will admit to having bought her a few outfits and a bag to carry her in but I should in no way be compared to a Paris Hilton carrying her around with me everywhere I go and not letting her little feet touch the ground. I let her be a dog, playing fetch, running around in the grass and eating out of a regular bowl not some silver spoon. I don't get to spend as much time with her as I like because I'm hardly ever home but when I am home, she and I are always together. I really wanted to get a lap dog because I wanted him or her to do just that be in my lap all the time. So, luckily, she does like to be in my lap and cuddle. She watches TV with me and sleeps in my bed. She likes to burrow to keep herself warm. I love shopping for her, it's amazing the kinds of things they have out there now-a-days for dogs. I love taking her for walks and most of all I just love sittin back and watching her. She's so entertaining to watch. She does the cutest things. And I must say, she is such a smart dog. Sometimes I sware she understands English. Well, enough about my dog. I also love to Travel. I am afterall the daughter of a Travel Agent so the travel bug has been in instilled in me since a very young age. One of the best trips I ever took was driving across country, from California to New York and back, seeing about 15 states in all. It was not only a lot of fun but it was very educational as well. I probably learned more on that trip than in any history book. We saw the Independance Hall in Philadelphia, The White House, The Capitol, Mt. Rushmore, Niagra Falls, The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island just to mention a few landmarks. I love the entertainment industry; celebrity gossip, the movies, TV, awards shows and the like. I love kids, especially babies! I love going on long walks especially on the beach or through a really cool hiking trail. I love listening to music in my car, just cruising around or in my room on the weekends when I'm doing laundry and home chore stuff. I love hanging out with my family and friends especially in the city (SF) and going on road trips.
