Chihuahua Advice | PSA

I say that it's time for another little PSA. Today, I would like to talk to you about the dangers of hitchhiking (aka thumbing, tramping, hitching a ride). Hitchhiking is a means of transportation that is gained by asking people for a ride to cover either a long or short distance. For today's purposes, we're going to have to assume that hitchhiking can also occur in sedentary situations.
I admit, I'm a compulsive hitchhiker. Yesterday, a day predicted to be cold and wet, M decided to take Frankie and me for a stroll at the world-famous Santa Monica Promenade (known for its weekly farmer's market, cool and diverse dining, shopping, and terrific street performers). Walking was tough, the throng was scary for someone as tiny as me.
Soon, I felt tired and cold and I did something I shouldn't have. I hitched a ride in somebody's shirt, again. Dear furiends, beware, the photos that follow are ones of great violence and not intended for those who scare easily, like me.

At first, Frankie and I were both offered the lift
Were we doing the right thing? I wondered

When it was just me, I started to ponder
How safe was this?

That's when The Chin started to approach me

OMD Now what?

Help!

Protect your life. Don't hitchhike!
Twink!

  1. Thanks for the advice Twinkie. I'm glad you got away safe and you're looking to break your habit. I'll make sure to warn Mr. B. and Miss M. not to be hitchhiking in any shirts.

  5. Wow. Um. I think I'm above the weight limit for hitchhiking, but even if I wasn't, your warning has scared me straight! I won't hitchhike EVER! I promise!!!

    (Just think... You could have been sold into slavery, or been forced to pose for PlayPup, or something equally horrible. *eesh!* I'm glad you were able to get away safely!)

  6. Twink, I think my mom nearly peed her pants when she saw this! That's how hard she was laughing! Next time, get your mom to carry one of those chic purses that you can hide in and avoid strange shirts!

    P.S. I'm assuming you survived since you wrote today's blog! Frankie is definitely the brains of your operation!

  11. Twinkie, dial P U G for emergency. I'll come save you!

    Mom says she knows exactly where you guys are. She's shopped till she dropped there a few times.

  14. Oh TWINKIE! I was so skeered for you. Little girlfriend, never, ever, ever hitchhike. That was one of the first things Brudder Ranger taught me. Do what we do. If someone offers you a ride, look at 'em like they've all of a sudden grown a second head and then go hide behind your mom.

    Whew! I'm so glad things turned out okay. But don't ever make me Most Skeered like that again!

  19. We don't think anyone would want to pick us boys up, but we aren't so sure about the pipsqueak here - she seems to attract a lot of attention and she is still under 20 lbs.

    Ummm, the look on your face in that last pic is just too much:)
