Rischa's Rants, Raves, and Ramblings: Happy New Year

It's 2008! Happy New Year to my blog readers! It snuck in on us here at the Heape household. We were sitting here watching some recorded shows on the DVR and heard all the partying in the streets. I looked down at my clock on my laptop and it was 12:02 AM. Wow....how exciting are we that midnight came and went before we noticed it was a new year?! LMBO

We went shopping today for a little while. We're about to switch our cell phone carrier from Sprint to Verizon so we wanted to go look at the phones and plans. Kolby already has a Verizon phone and so does most of my family, so it makes sense for us to get on the same plan. So we looked around at the kiosk, we went to get some Japanese food, we went to Books-A-Million, then to Joe Muggs to get some coffee, and, of course, The Dollar Tree to get some doggy toys. Oh....I forgot we also went to Tar-jay.....or Target for those who don't speak French. lol We found some doggy outfits in Penny's size on clearance. She's wearing one of her new outfits right now. It's so cute and she loves it! No....she really does seem to enjoy wearing outfits because she's a cold natured dog I think. She doesn't fight it at all and just wears her outfits all day long. We also got a shampoo brush and a brush for the dogs. The whole day we only spent about $30, though. Good sales after Christmas, eh?

Speaking of dogs....I picked up a dog for a friend a few days ago. She lives out of state, so the dog will be in my possession for the next few weeks. The dog is one of those "Designer Dogs" or "Millionaire Mutts" that you hear so much about these days. It's recognized as a designer hybrid on the American Canine Hybrid Club. The breed is called a Chi-Apsa or Lhasa-Wa. In other words, a mix between a Chihuahua and a Lhasa Apsa. This pooch is adorable with a capital A. It's only about 3 lbs. So how about some photos and videos? Wanna see some? Here are the pics:

And now for the videos:

Please excuse the dirty floor in the second video. It's been a muddy couple of days here in Central FL. This guys future mom has yet to pick a name, but we've come up with a few from his personality and from the day we picked him up. When we picked him up and saw his daddy wearing a "Prince" T-shirt we decided that his first name was Prince. The we carried him in a basket similar to Dorothy's in The Wizard of Oz. So he was dubbed "Prince Toto"; "PT" for short. Then Joel said he looked more like a Groucho or a Murphy, so Joel started calling him Murphy. Well, today he got a new name from us.....two actually come to think of it. One was Hefner after Hugh Hefner (sp?) because he was already trying to be a stud with Penny. lol Then because of his many piddle episodes Joel also called him Rain Man. lol So we'll just see what sticks until his Mommy REALLY names him. He's a cutie patootie, though.....that's for darn sure.

Ok....time for me to call it a night for now. See ya next time!

Cute puppy....Looks a lot like my long haired Jack Russell, Shaggy. Maybe you can take suggestions from your readers on names for the puppy. I will be thinking what I can come up with too. Personality names them sometimes??? Good luck!
