Don’t you love looking back through baby photos and hearing about baby Tails?

This is Julie when she was a little bit of-a-thing. Do you know she never had a dog growing up? I am numero uno! She did have some cats and they were bigger than me, which isn’t too tough to accomplish since I am 3 pounds wearing my complete winter wardrobe all at once, dipped in a bathtub with a full bladder, after dinner.

Funny, this also brings back to mind my Tail about gratitude…remember, the whole Tounge Tail?? The above is another perfect-o example of how momma and I are on the same (web)page. Anyhow, back to the topic at hand (or in my case, paw)…sometimes I wonder if folks get my dorky humor. Oh well.

I shared with you how I came to live in Massachusetts in my Tail Becoming a Bostonian. I’d like to go back a little further and share with you more about my early months. Months, ha ha, I am not even one year old yet so I can’t say “early years.”

I was born in California. Doesn’t that sound charming?! My father is a yorkie and my mother is a chihuahua. Here we are when I was just 6 weeks old. My birth name was Charlie.

Look how dark colored I was with those raccoon eyes. You can even see a hint of ‘Norbert Eyes’ there, like I mentioned in my Quirk Tail.

I was born the smallest guy in the bunch. Here I was at about 3 months old looking a little more woolly, like a chocolate macaroon with extra coconut shavings poking out. Mmmm, I’m hungry.

Since I was such a small pup I visited the doctor frequently to make sure I was healthy. Everybody at the vet wanted to take me home but I held off for the perfect new momma. And I found her!

My valiant voyage across the United States was well worth the effort. I am so grateful for my time in warm Cali, and so filled with joy living here in Boston. Speaking of Boston…

Julie took me shopping to a place called Sak’s Fifth Avenue. I thought it strange that the store wasn’t on 5th Avenue. No matter…Julie had to pick up a few beauty products and toted me in the man purse/sash. Well let me tell you, the women working there loved me and gave momma all little freebies, and asked that I come back anytime. What warm and welcoming folks here in the city!

Here I am with our purchase:

This was yesterday, if you saw me right now, I would NOT be looking like the above! Julie also bought clippers that buzz something fierce, and gave me a good hair chop. I didn’t mind the clip and think I look pretty handsome. Pictures coming soon.

Update on the new website: slow going in development but it will be worth it. I’d say you will be seeing it in about 2 weeks.

GO SAINTS!

Bye for now,

Norbert Liv

Greetings!

In keeping with the shower / clean theme that has been lingering this week, here is another happy, soggy-chorkie photo.

Look at my paws – doesn’t the wet fur look like hands from Dr. Suess’ Grinch? Lank, liquid and rubbery.

Compare:

If you do more than just look at a photograph, I mean really see the picture, you can notice some interesting, thoughtful details. I considered this idea on Thursday after a friend sent me a video clip.

When I watched the clip I noticed some folks laughing in the background, in addition to the main footage. This can be a neat-o, deliberate thought process when watching a movie too, especially if it is a film you have seen more than once. Attention to detail!

Here is another example when I was “driving.” What else do you see besides Norbie at the wheel?

Notice the people in the car behind us?

Sending Saturday Smiles,

Saint Norbert
