It's been almost a year since my dog Mitzi died, and I still miss her. For one thing, she made a really great mascot for my web site. It didn't seem right to keep using her image after she was gone, and it seemed to me that having a chihuahua for a mascot when I no longer own a chihuahua would be quirky at best. Nevertheless, I'm thinking about resurrecting her to work her into the design. I love my new dog Fizgig, but I'm still trying to reconcile myself to the fact that I own a poodle. He's a cool dog, for a poodle, but you just can't beat a chihuahua for comical imagery and cool kitschiness.
