Quick question: for those of you that enjoy chai tea, which way do you like it best? Hot or cold? If you like it cold, do you like it over ice, or do you like it in slush form?

Onto some pictures! Yesterday, Sarah pulled out a plush Manta Ray she'd gotten from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. The plush Manta Ray's name? Monty! :D So anyway, we were playing with Sarah's Chihuahua, Bailey, and noticed that Bailey was being even more amusing than usual. So I documented the "Manta Ray attack" and subsequent defeat, in pictures. Enjoy!



Photobucket
The day begins to draw to a close, and the various members of the household slowly prepare for bedtime. Bailey is ready for bed as well, since she did not get enough sleep this particular day; being the guardian and protector of her people, however, she cannot go to sleep quite yet. She must be certain no dangers lurk in the shadows.

Photobucket
...and, wait? What's that sound?

Photobucket
Sneak attack!

Photobucket
Oh, fuck, it's a Manta Ray! It's in the house! Bailey must protect her people!

Photobucket
The tail is the most vulnerable spot, it cannot maneuver away if its tail is firmly lodged between sharp, vicious Chihuahua teeth, capable of shattering even the most crunchy bit of dog food.

Photobucket
It attempts to swim away, but Bailey still has its tail firmly lodged in her powerful jaws.

Photobucket
Bailey decides to up the ante, pouncing on the Manta Ray's body and searching out yet more vulnerable spots. In the process, she learns the Manta Ray is also ticklish. This provides her with even more of an advantage.

Photobucket
Tickle, tickle, crunch, thrash, tickle.

Photobucket
Food?

Photobucket
Monty the Manta Ray has been successfully subdued.

Photobucket
Sarah: "Oh, Bailey, you risked your life for us."
Kristin: "I was so terrified of the giant plush Manta Ray and you protected me, Bailey. I can't thank you enough."
Sarah: "How will we ever repay you?"
Bailey: "Continue worshiping me, pathetic mortals."

...tune in for our next installment. When Monty reappears, miraculously alive, will Bailey once again continue trying to kill it? Will they reach a truce? Is it possible, even, that friendship, or something more, could arise between Bailey and Monty? Stay tuned.


That dog is so freakin' cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. :D

I love hot chai. Cold chai is only a once in a long while when it's hot out sort of thing, and then I prefer it in slushy form. Usually I just go for an iced coffee if I want cold caffeine.

I think my preference is relative to temperature as well. As long as it's not warm/hot, I'll have hot chai tea. But if it's late spring/early summer, I go for iced chai. I've found I'm not as fond of iced coffees as I am of iced chai.

Isn't she just adorable? I love that chihuahuas are so small and easy to carry around or curl up in your lap.

Go Bailey! Hee hee.

I wish I liked chai. My sister does, and she says she prefers it hot.

There are a few of the store brands I don't care for. In general, I love chai, but I've had a few I didn't like at all, and I think that's dependent on how much of one spice they put in. The chai at Dunkin' Donuts is waaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet for me.

Ohmygosh that battle is epic and adorable.

And as for chai! I like it both ways, though if it's cold, I prefer it over ice than in slush form.

Isn't it?! Just as epic, and funny (but not quite adorable), was when Bailey started -ahem- humping Monty. Yes. Quite amusing. Apparently she's into S&M. :P

I don't mind it in slush form, but I much, MUCH prefer it over ice; I think it retains more of its flavor, and I don't care if that seems completely illogical--because, really, how can slush form deplete favor, but it seems to me that it does. I am weird.

Chai!

Typically I like it iced. But lately I've just been having hot black tea chai (Tazo, I think) with no sugar, and soy milk.
