Brothers TiVo and Chuck Norris are daycare favorites, attending together three days a week. TiVo was born on May 5th, 2006 and started here at YWIP a month before his first birthday. Chuck Norris was added to the family shortly after that, he is about 4 months younger than his big brother, celebrating his birthday on September 7th. They share their home with a deaf cat named Betty White and a litter box-trained rabbit named Cheese. (Their parents name pets after their favorite people/things, they will allegedly be naming their first-born Pepperoni Pizza.) Chuck Norris is quite the ladies man (as you might expect with such a moniker), while TiVo often occupies himself as the referee of the group and will try to get between his brother and current girlfriend if jealousy rears its ugly head. The two are best buddies and love coming to daycare, despite Chuck's aversion to car rides.

A (brief) conversation with Chuck and TiVo
Chuck: Can we make this quick? I've got some lady friends to get back to.
TiVo: Settle down, Cassanova, isn't there anything else that you ever think about?
Chuck: What else is there?
TiVo: How about car rides?
Chuck: Hate 'em.
TiVo: Water?
Chuck: Hate it.
TiVo: That cool animal sounds CD that Jason plays for us?
Chuck: Scared of it, especially the bear noises. Come to think of it, I'm scared of lots of noises.
TiVo: How about wrestling with your favorite brother?
Chuck: Now that's pretty awesome, unless there are some ladies around that I can wrestle with instead.
TiVo: That was harsh, I'm going to go pout about that for awhile. I'm very sensitive, you know, and I'm not into the ladies like you are.
Chuck: Sorry, brother, but a man's got to have his priorities. I'm off now, the girls await!
TiVo and Chuck at play:
TiVo enjoys the hose, unlike his brother, who fears it.
Bubbles rock!!
Chuck and his favorite love interest, Kayla, simulating Wrestlemania 2008: The Smackdown.
Then it's time for a little make-out session....
Now for some special brother bonding time.
Don't bite my ear!
Don't bite MY ear!!
Chuck gets back to his chicks, who are literally falling over themselves to get his attention.
Hey Chuck Norris- show us how you would feel about life if there were no girls fawning all over you.
We have painted Chuck as quite the "Dog Juan", but he does play with some dudes, like his young buddy Charlie. (The Chucks like to stick together!)
All those girls are hard to keep up with. Chuck needs to recuperate with a nap and TiVo is happy to join him.
TiVo likes to spend his time complaining about things. For instance, do not try to stalk him, he does not appreciate it in the least; nor does he like it when you walk around with your hands on your head. He is also vehemently against wearing bandanas. Enjoy these videos of TiVo displaying his odd behavior in reaction to these annoying things in his life:
Who are you calling odd?
PREVIOUS FEATURED PET:
Hafiz McIver
(a.k.a. "Cotton Top")
Hafiz is a fluffy little fellow who has been enjoying daycare since moving here almost a year ago. He is a Coton de Tulear, a rare breed that originated in Madagascar and were originally owned by royalty, which Hafiz thinks is pretty cool. He was born on February 24th, 2006 and his mom named him after the 14th century Persian poet and philosopher. Hafiz fancies himself a bit of a philosopher, too, offering his insights on the joys of fetching, chasing bubbles, and the finer points of tug-of-war. Hafiz is a very easy-going dog who gets along with everyone and is every dog's best friend (or boyfriend, as the case may be)!
Information on the breed indicates that they seldom bark. Hafiz apparently did not get that memo.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF MOPPINESS
as dictated by Hafiz
Could I BE any cuter? I mean, really, people, look at that face. You just can't resist it. Everyone loves a mop top, am I right?! I get a lot of compliments on the street on my beautful hair, supermodels are jealous of this mane. Soubhi does an amazing job of keeping it looking great despite my penchant for running through the woods, rolling in leaves, swimming in the kiddie pools, and wrestling with my buddies. With my lifestyle and grooming needs, I guess I am what you would call "high maintenance", but there's nothing wrong with that. When you're as adorable as I am, you've gotta flaunt it!
In a nod to my namesake, I shall attempt to wax poetic on a few of my favorite hobbies:
Enjoy this pictorial tour of me playing tug-of-war. You'll notice on the other end, there is always a lady friend.
Junebug is built like a linebacker,
but Abby is my favorite for she is very sweet.
Zipper, a bit more petite;
Please watch this movie of a game of tug and pull, if you think I should let the girl win, you are truly a fool.
Bubbles are fun, bubbles are good. I try to eat them as if they were food.
Another cool video of me being nutty, you'll notice again that Abby's my buddy.
Chasing and fetching bring me great joy, so put the camera down and please throw this toy.
There are many ladies who require my time, let's not forget Emmy, another favorite of mine.
Being so cute takes a lot out of a canine, so after a swim I nap in the sunshine.
Rhyming is hard, but I hope you liked by poem. I know you're now smitten with me and would love to take me home.
