A new partner for my travels!

Perhaps the biggest thing that happened last April (2011) was that after years of thinking about and looking for, I decided to add a tiny partner to my travels...in the form of a Chihuahua. Cujo came into my life on April 12, 2011 and I haven't looked back. He's almost always with me, loves road trips as much as I do, and doesn't mind me stopping to ooh and aah over a sunset now and then. He's about 9 pounds of pure Chihuahua stubbornness, and I couldn't ask for a better travel companion. He fits seamlessly into my life and my Jeeps!

I just love his ears! He "alerts" to things all the time. Kinda freaky when he alerts to something behind or above me! Makes me think I'm being attacked by giant/stealthy bugs.

At any rate, here he is, my little pup, who is not so photogenic anymore...now that I've had him over a year, and after about the thousandth picture of him, he's bored with my photography! But when I took these (with my cell phone, sorry for the quality and random focus), he was still willing to pose.

He enjoys a good nap, for sure...so here he is, in all his sleepy glory. Barely able to keep his eyes open.
