"Yeah, ya know what?  I reckon Cara has been checking him out a bit!  How cute would they look together?!"  whispers Ellie.  Rufus definitely deserves a hottie and a kind girl too to go with his looks and sweet temper, there must be someone here thinks Ellie to herself.  She turns to Chimi, "You're really something you know that?  Not many young guys would be concerned over other's puppy love-life.  I really admire you, and I sometimes cant believe how lucky I am to have you."  Ellie leans over and places a tender, loving lick on Chimi's nose.  She's really falling for this guy.

 

While Dancing With Lucy Chico Sees Rufus all alone and coco all alone he grins excitedly and tells lucy to have coco go to teh treat bowl in 5 mins. He runs over to chimi and wispers his plan. Then he walks over to rufus. hey buddy, 'Why dotn you go over to the Treat Bowl? Maybe a girl will be over there!'

Lucy gives Chico a wag and a yip, 'What a great idea Shnookums!" She runs over to her littlest sister and nudges her with her nose and says," Hey short stuff. Follow me." Lucy and Coco arrive at the Treat Bowl where Chimi, Chico and Rufus are standing. Coco whispers into Lucy's ear, "Who is the cute boy in the long fur coat????"

Chimi grins and takes his place (whatever place that may be) in his part of this little hookup plan that Chico's got going for Rufus. Two chocolaty chis are sure to find love!

And as for Ellie... he yips and wriggles about himself, barely able to control his excitement. He had to be very very sneaky in order to steal this for her, and he cant wait to see the look on her face when he gives it to her.

"Wait right here, babe!" He yips, scampering off. He wanders over to where Mommy left his Pet Flys carrier, and climbs into it... and what does he pull out? It's a roll of toilet paper... just for Ellie to tear up. And the inside of the cardboard roll is stuffed with a bag full of Ellie's favorite treats.

He grabs a corner of the paper and begins to drag it across the floor towards Ellie. When he gets it to her, his tail's going a mile a minute.

"Lookee there, my little cheese nip! We can tear it up together!! Have at it!!"

Oh boy...

After plopping the gift in front of Ellie, Chimi's tail wags wildly as he watches the love unfold between Rufus and Coco... Pawfect!!!

Coco says to the handsome long haired pup,.. "hi, I am Coco. I am here with my sisters to celebrate my birthday early as it falls in between the holidays." "what brings you here?", she asks.

Lucy licks her paw and smooths back her brow. She looks at Chico and says to herself, "I am soooooooooooooo lucky!"

Just then, Ami entered the room. His wee little mouth opened in a silent scream as he saw the dogs. Must ... not ... be ... seen!!!!! Ami bounded across the room towards the other door, but bumped into a paw of .................... (who???)

Chloe says that she would love to have a drink with Bandit!  She starts to stand there and wonder how their puppies would look together someday, and how they would all live in a little doghouse with a white picket fence  

Rufus smiles at Coco and says "Happy Birthday! Wow, my mommy's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Must be wonderful ladies have birthdays this time of year!"

He leads Coco over to the treat bowl and, with a sweet smile, asks "What is your desire, pretty lady?"

Bandy brings their the drinks and ask Chloe if she would like to walk out on the balcony too chat and get some fresh air.. He offers to get her sweater so she won't get chilled...

Ohhhhhhhh all the excitement!

Coco looks at Rufus and says, "I'll have whatever you are having. I am not that picky." She follows him the the treat bowl.

What could that be, Lucy says to herself as Chico nudges the present over with his nose. She picks up the ribbon gently and pulls. As the gift opens, her jaw drops to the floor. "I don't think I deserve this!!! It's waaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive!"

Jazzy and Molly are watching all the action. All of a sudden these two handsome brothers come up walking beside them. Jazzy the nervous nelly that she is hides behind her younger sister. Molly pushes Jazzy out from behind her and says to Binks, "Sure a bone is a good start." Jazzy hears Boots question and stutters and answer of.. o-o-o-k.. and runs to the bathroom in shear nervousness.

 

 

Standning in a huge cloud of white tissue Ellie watches her sweetheart bounce around her, God he's gorgeous!  She LOVED his gift, it wqas so thoughtful, now what can she do for him?  "Hmmm, I'll have to think about that one..."  she thinks to herself. 

Ellie climbes out of the bundle of tissue and takes Chimi by the paw and leads him outside to the balcony, she spies Bandit and Chloe canoodling at one end so she directs herself and Chimi to the other end.  Wouldn't want to spoil their moment.  Ellie starts shivering a little so Chimi cuddles up close to her; Ellie still has goosebumps, but now it's not because she's cold.  She asks Chimi what he sees in his future...

 

He is led to the balcony with Ellie... and of course as she shivers, he offers her his argyle sweater and cuddles with her to keep her warm. He listens to her question and thinks deeply before he answers, thinking of what his mommy told him earlier that night.

"Well, Darling, my Mommy claims that she is going to pick up my papers at some point in time... and she says that if they are well, and if she is able to tap into my family background... then puppies are possibly in order. I dont know how you would feel about that..." He blushes, "But one day I would love to own a beautiful puppy home with one special chi girl, like you. With white picket fences, and the pitter pattering of 2-4 tiny pups in the grassy yard... we could all chase birds and squirrels together... wear matching outfits... and enjoy some of the dinners that my mommy likes to cook for me... she would have no problem cooking for all of us... Oh... ahhhh... sorry... am I getting too carried away?"

He grins at Ellie as he stops speaking to her... he doesnt want to frighten her off with all of these plans for the future!!

Molly takes Binks paw and yips... we can look at the moon later, lets get our paws on the dance floor Binky!! Molly loves to dance and watched "can you dance and dancing with the stars" faithfully. She is sooooo excited to test out some new moves. Molly tells Boots, "my sister is the VERY shy one from the group. She noticed you when you came in. So you are safe to go and follow her."

Lucy goes to the window with Chico. When they reach the beautifully moon lit, snowy scenery, she touches her precious necklace and smiles. She looks over to Chico and says, " I am the most luckiest Chihuahua in the world." "you could have given me a necklace of milk bones and I would have been thrilled, only b/c they came from you Chico." She lays her head on Chico shoulder and sighs heavily. The atmosphere and her feelings for Chico making her feel euphoric. 

As Binks and Molly tear up the dance floor.... Jazzy hears Boots' voice... She clears her throat and says, "i am here.... just freshening up"  Jazzy looks at her self, sticks out her tongue and says.."Here I come!!!"

He smiles and lets out a hearty laugh. "Well of course your mommy can come too!! And your daddy! I'm sure everyone will get along! They are all great parents, nothing could go wrong!"

In his joy Chimi begins to hop and dance about Ellie in circles again... The he stops for a moment, peering back into the ballroom... getting a glimpse at the other dancing Chis.

"Darling! We should celebrate our plans with a dance!" He yips happily. "Would you dance with me? You should come out of the cold too!" Grinning all the while...

Chimi skips to the dance floor with Ellie, yipping and yapping all the way! Once they get out there... he's a little awkward... he's not use to dancing with other chi girls... just down by mommy's feet when she dances and taunts at him!

He pretty much let's Ellie lead everything, since she seems to know what she is doing! He sighs and looks into her beautiful dark eyes... I'm the luckiest pup on the planet!!

"Oh my gosh! He's out there!", Jazzy says to herself. She shyly opens the door and walks sideways, all coy like. She can't believe how handsome and sensitive Boots is deep down. She always thought him to be a tough stud! She gently clears her throat and says quietly, "Boots, thanks for following me. I am sooooooooooo nervous. A chi-tonic with you sounds wonderful. That is if you still want to after I ran away." She sits down and waits for his answer.

Jazzy thanks Boots for the drink and says, " I am just a girl next door kinda chi. I love my sisters so much and my Mom, she's the greatest." She takes a sip of her drink and asks Boots, "whats your story?"
