Burger The Bachelor: The Big Finale
Oh happy day! The time has come for me to announce my soul mate! After weeks of careful deliberation (aka: my mom reading every entry aloud to me and judging my level of excitement for each contender) I have finally selected my ultimate love muffin! And I’m ready to shout it from the rooftops. But first I have to say how hard it was to eliminate my runner up. She truly makes my puppy heart go pitter patter like a rigorous round of chase-the-tail so I want her to know that I appreciate her for sticking with me on this wacky road to love (and she can sniff my backside anytime).
But enough jibber jabber, let’s revisit my last two finalists. For this week’s final question I asked my two fabulous four-leggers to woo me with their words. Here it goes: Like any normal pooch, I like a bit or romance. So I’d love for you to write me a short poem that tells me just how you feel about me. The type of poem is totally your call (haiku? free verse? limerick?) so just use your imagination and speak from the heart. Here’s what my lady loves came up with (who knew I had such talented wordsmiths competing for my affection?):
#14. Juno wrote this heartfelt masterpiece:
Dear Burger, this holiday season
You’ve put my timid heart at ease.
In each round, a surprise,
You’ve opened my eyes!
For my happiness, YOU are the reason!
#15. Nico wrote this ditty, entitled “Oh Burger, Sweet Burger”:
I dream of a day we can spend together,
Wagging tails, eating Smart Dog Treats and enjoying beautiful weather.
Trotting side-by-side along a green, wooded trail
Our proud parents walking behind to our delightful avail
I have no doubt we’ll have tons of fun
Because two Chihuahuas are indeed better than one.
I will pause so you can wipe the tears from your eyes. Aren’t my leading ladies just bursting with raw poetic talent? I’m moved beyond words. And because this is the final elimination, my crazy mom decided to record the intense deliberation session that followed the reading of the poems. Who won me over by wooing me with their words? Watch the Vimeo video below (or check it out on You Tube) to find out who the big winner is…
Whew. And I’m spent. That never fails to be emotionally exhausting. Seriously, it was no fun to lose any of you pretty pooches from the beginning of this wild ride. Sniffle. But I’m elated to finally find my true soul mate. Smooches, girl. You make me want to be a better chihuahua. Thank goodness for internet dating!
*My apologies for the pathetic lack of special effects and upscale editing in my big finale video. I begged my parents for more of a budget but they’re hopelessly cheap when it comes to these things. At least I have my winning companion to keep me warm (and agree that I deserve a high-def video camera for times like this- right babe?).
First (slightly photoshopped picture) found here. Doesn’t it make your mouth water? And I’m not just talking about the dog bone I’m holding…

They make a cute couple! Can’t wait to hear about their adventures in dating! Will there be an after-the-final-rose edition??? ;-)
Sadly we live pretty far away so this might be an internet only romance. Time will tell…
A limerick for my hamburguesa:
Although I was cut from this stiff competition,
I declare, in this video you’re just such a vision!
Nico’s got you in the bag,
But, boy, you still make my tail wag
And who’s to say a girl can’t keep wishin’??
Love,
Coco
Oh Coco you funny gal. You always make me smile. Smooches coming your way. Just don’t tell Nico…
Burger, congratulations on picking your leading lady; you two make quite the match! Us food-named dude dogs should stick together so that means you can put in a good word with all of the other girls for The Ham (Hamlet is often abbreviated to “Ham,” “The Ham” or, to my utter disgust, “Hammy”), right?
No way! My mom wanted to shorten my full name (Hamburger) to Hammy… but it didn’t stick since dad argued that you don’t call a hamburger a hammy for short- it’s always just called a burger. And so a nickname was born (along with Burgsie, The Burg, Burgmeister, and Burgalicious).
I enjoyed that WAY more than the regular “Bachelor” show.
Thanks Burger! Good luck to you and your best gal.
What an adorable match! I think Burger made the right choice.
