Introducing Chipper

chipper
(aka Chip, Chip-Chip, Microchip)

He’s half beagle, half poodle – a mix that breeders call “Poobie” or “Poogle” but I call “mutt.” I think it means he’s going to end up a shaggy beagle. He’s six pounds, 9 ounces (all in that fat puppy belly) and he’s the newest resident at MomnJohn’s house.

Likes: chewing, fuzzy tennis balls, chewing, shoes, chewing, naps, chewing, rawhide, chewing
Dislikes: not chewing, stopping chewing, the absence of chewing

We brought him home on Saturday. He’s been working those puppy toofs ever since. 😉

(other name suggestions were: Snoopy, Scraps, Tramp, Sooner (he’s from OK), Fang, Sam, Patch, Homer, Spot and Trebunskaya.)

    I shall call him Boodle.

    Or perhaps Beadle.

    You look 19 in the latest hostess shot. What’s going on there?

    I’m the anti-Dorian Gray. The hostess pics get younger looking, but in reality I look like Bea Arthur.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
