Oh the 70's!

Is it just me, or does everyone sleep better when it cools off?  I went to bed at 8:30 last night; I was having joint pains and just didn't feel so well.  I slept through until about 4AM, and it was gloriously cool.  I had turned off my AC yesterday in anticipation of mid-70's weather for the week.  My bedroom window was open to ... hopefully... fresh air. :)

This is Quito, my 11 year old chihuahua.  He's beautiful and mostly brainless, but happy as a clam.  Both he and Cisco, my 12 year old chihuahua follow me around like I have my own furry entourage.  They were both plastered to me while I slept last night; I know they knew I wasn't feeling well.
 
Here is a picture of when I went to Glendale to get my first chihuahua, Cisco.  He was a little handful.  Cisco's ears never did come up, but he's so cute it's not an issue.

I adore chihuahuas.  To me, they are the perfect size and temperament.  No, they are not yappy little dogs, but all bets are off when the UPS man his the neighborhood.  I don't know what UPS has ever done to the dogs in this house, but MAN, do they want to nibble his ankles off!
