Welcome to Strummer Calling, home of photos & video of "The Only Pup That Matters"! Strummer is a 2 lb female chihuahua named after Joe Strummer, singer & guitar player for The Clash, also known as "The Only Band That Matters". While this will normally be a spot for photos & videos of our 2 lbs of terror, I figure it's best to start with the story of how Strummer came in to our lives, a strange tale we tell time & time again.On the day before Fathers Day in 2008, we were taking a walk to our co-op, partaking in our usual routine of fawning over every dog we see. As we approached two men & a tiny chihuahua, I couldn't help but comment on how adorable this pint sized puppy was!
Next thing I know, I am being told to take the dog, as they didn't want it & claimed to have found it on the sidewalk. Not one to leave an animal behind, we walked away with a shivering, flea ridden, hungry 1.5 lb puppy. Over the next few weeks, we checked the area for lost dog signs, posted & read ads, & no one claimed the little one, & so the era of Strummer began.Welcome to Strummerville, population one fucking adorable pup!
Strummer's story is as strange as Bettie's (the kitty I found in the street and had rescued from the Parisian sewers, ewwww).
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened to me with a puppy a few years ago but when we took her to the vet, she told us the doggy had a chip and an owner...
Strummer is 2 pounds of cute! Love the new blog and its name!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcake is bigger than Strummer's head! I love it :D
ReplyDeleteshe is the cutest fucking pup i've EVER SEEN!!!! and these pictures don't even come close to how cute she is in person.
ReplyDeleteshe was so lucky to get handed to you on the street. i don't think she could have found a better home...and now she even has her own blog!
Aw, Nicole beat me to it, but I was gonna comment on how that cupcake is bigger than Strummer! He's such a stud!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lucky dog to have found you!
ReplyDeleteAww Strummer!! That little face is adorable! You guys were meant to be!
ReplyDeleteA fan page for miss strum-strum couldn't be more appropriate. How about having her interview some of her favorite vegan dogs as visiting spotlights [hint hint].

Strummer is the cutest!
ReplyDeleteWe added to our brood two weeks ago. The culprit, fifty pounds (approximately) of Rotweiler/German Shepherd hell. He barks like a bear but looks like a stuffed animal you win at the carnival.
She is so little here!
ReplyDeleteStrummer is precious! She's so tiny. She's very lucky that you were the ones to take her in.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never noticed because she's just so tiny, but she really has grown! I forget how puppy-like she used to be! I'm glad Strummer has a blog now. I would say Molly is, too, but you know that grumpy old lady isn't glad about anything!
