Tired But Well Worth It!

Aug 18, 2017 | Dog Shows, Owner-Handler, Showing Chihuahuas, Stella, Tino, Travels & Trips

We headed out last night for our 9 hour drive to Greensboro, NC, arriving during the wee-hours this morning. I caught 2 hours sleep before heading to the show site for the Chihuahua ring time. This was the start to Tino’s first weekend in the big boy ring as a...

Instagram post 2187433464554256964_13685677 I have so much to be thankful for this year. I’ve made so many amazing new friends, had the best time creating my own little place on the Internet, achieve goals I never thought I would see in this lifetime, expanded my life and my world beyond my wildest dreams and have a new extended family not just all over the country, but all over the world! Thank you to everyone for your ideas on how to keep busy and boy did they work! So much to share and even more in the works, but for now, here is my... Forced Three Month Vacation Week Two Lessons Learned…

I may not be able to cook but I can bring the best fruit dip on the planet… Who says you have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving?... I am a pretty darn awesome doggy mom when I need to be... You get a lot more work done on your house when you aren’t at dog shows every weekend... Apparently the engine on a power washer does NOT drown out my singing. I must apologize to all of my neighbors... I had no idea how dirty you can get getting wet... There is true unity with healthy tribe goals... Heard the rumors and they are true Hotto Potto in Winter Park is absolutely amazing, open until the wee hours and healthy to boot!... There is nothing quite like getting a root job to make you feel more complete... BISB is back in action! New videos coming soon! But until then.... Happy Thanksgiving and Rockledge OUT!!!!
Instagram post 2181357961405639071_13685677 So I have me a bit of cabin fever. Trying to figure out how to wrap my brain around keeping busy while not showing dogs. Any advice or suggestions on how to keep myself entertained and motivated would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I thought I would continue my tradition as best I could so without further ado,  here are my:

Forced Three Month Vacation Week One Lessons Learned…

It’s amazing how an unfortunate turn of events can allow you to see very clearly who your true friends are! As well as who your not so true friends are.… I beyond appreciate the love from my friends - new and old - that have supported my YouTube channel adventures and are inspiring me to step back, refocus, and keep trying to inspire others in this amazing sport… I am so lucky to have friends in vet places who also happen to own mobile units. Foxy is a new mommy to three beautiful puppies!!!.... Tipsy has spoiled me rotten when it comes to whelping. Holy hell have I been brought to “taking care of Chihuahua puppies 24-7” reality... No matter how hard you wish and pray you can’t rub a penis off of a male puppy. Yes, I got all boys!!!... My lap feels like home to whelping mommas... Apparently I am a new fan of red wine. I had no idea… When you’re not on the road you can actually eat the diet plan that you hired your personal trainer to design for you… You can also actually go to the gym every day! I’m going to have abs of steel and be able to crack walnuts with my ass!… I really need to check out the lyrics of songs I download before I take them to the gym. Cyber Sex actually made me blush!!!! 😳

Week One of Cabin Fever OUT!!!!
Instagram post 2172872150259532040_13685677 I am so unbelievably proud to call this amazing woman my best friend! I want to be just like her when I grow up! And I know BeyBey Boo is being raised and  led by a truly strong and brave example of a woman!
Instagram post 2169369905152741480_13685677 What a whirlwind of a weekend! It started with lots of blue and purple. Little Miss Snack took WB two days in a row, Boo grabbed one single extra point - Just in case - and a Select her first time around the ring as a Champion and then Miss Echo made an appearance on her second entry towards her Grand getting BOS to Tino getting BOB! 
We woke up this morning raring to go when suddenly it became apparent we were not going anywhere -  Miss Scarlett took her own sweet time (9 hours!!!) to welcome two adorable puppies into the world! And yes, there were a few Lessons Learned... It’s entertaining to everyone when I get handed a less than trained dog to take back in the ring... Boob chicken will suffice when you realize on the way home from the dog show that you haven’t eaten anything all day… How are we not all sick after 100 degree temps one day and then 60 the next?... Which leads me to OMG I am so excited when the temps are cold enough so I can wear boots to the show!!!... I think everyone can sometimes use the reminder that their existence makes the world brighter... How lucky am I to have one of my bestest friends who happens to be a vet?... Crazy how when you summon that friend and threaten a c-section, suddenly a puppy arrives… With whelping with first time moms, anything goes... and finally... When you palpate and you can reshape the blob, it’s actually poop!

Ocala and Altamonte Springs OUT!
