WHAT I NEEDED TO LEARN IN LIFE, I LEARNED FROM MY CHIHUAHUAS By: Kimberly R. Thorn

Annabelle 

What I Needed to Learn in Life, I Learned from My Chihuahuas

 By: Kimberly R. Thorn

1.     Mexican cuisine is the greatest of all time.

2.     All other cuisine is good, as long as you’re hungry and are in a pinch.

3.     Dynamite comes in very small packages.

4.     If life hands you blankets, take a nap.

5.     If life doesn’t happen to hand you blankets, it’s okay, just steal them.

6.     Winter is made for hibernating.

7.     100°F weather is the perfect temperature.

8.     If it has teeth and shows them to you, it WILL bite.

9.     Waking someone who is sleeping is hazardous to your health.

10.  Tiny IS mighty.

11.  To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. 

12.  To dominate, you seek out the biggest guy, swagger up to him, tap his foot with your foot and when he bends down to get into your face, you bite his nose.

13.  Then hold on for dear life while he screams, flailing as he tries to remove you from his sore and possibly broken nose.

14.  Your bite needs to be much bigger than your bark.

15.  When you’re mad at your mama, sit with you dad and watch baseball while giving your mama the evil side eye, at least until bedtime.

16.  Peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks are not just for consumption during the 7th inning stretch.

17.  Every female should have a huge wardrobe of clothes, shoes, coats, purses, jewelry and accessories at her whim.  (and whatever else she wishes to wear).

18.  Always dress well and appropriate for every occasion. 

19.  Faux fur, jewels, glitter and rhinestones ARE appropriate for every occasion.

20.  Always arrive in style, like you’re ready to walk the red carpet, darling.

21.  Be excited to and go visit your Grandma and Grandpa whenever you can.

22.  If you want ice cream, just eat it.

23. Don't feel guilty about anything. 

24.  What’s done is done. 

25.  Do not dwell in the past.

26.  Why walk anywhere when you can ride everywhere?

27.  If you do have to walk, walk with an entourage.  It shows you are important.

28.  Everyone should share their food with you.  It’s a universal, unwritten law.

29.  Keep everyone guessing by growling at them once in a while.

30.  Just be cute, no one can dare to resist.

                       In memory of my angel, Annabelle and in honor of my current baby, Paris.
