About

My name is Tatiana, and I’m a 26 year old American woman, living outside of Toronto, with my husband Chris, our two chihuahuas, and our beautiful baby girl Maia, born in February 2009.

Here’s the better half, Chris & I, holding a week-old Maia on February 20th. I’m pretty proud to have him as my babydaddy. We’ve been together since July 2004, married since July 2006, and every night I’m still delighted to snuggle into bed alongside him.

This is Buffy, our female chihuahua. I chose this picture because this is EXACTLY how she behaves on a day-to-day basis — in your face, wanting to know EXACTLY what you have going on, and demanding to be snuggled against you at all times.

And here’s our little man, Joss. This personifies him — chillin’, balls hangin’ out, showin’ his belly and waiting for you to rub it. If you don’t want to give him a bellyrub, that’s cool too, he’ll catch you later. Now, he’s not always the MOST chill — he thinks he is about ten times bigger than he is, and has no problem letting strange people and dogs know that deep down, he has the power to kick their ass! That said, he’s also a total whiner sometimes, and a complete mama’s boy. And I have to admit, I’m kind of a Joss’ girl.
