So Cute!
We are all riled up for the Tampa Bay Chihuahua Club Speciality next month. Conformation training aside – I have another project in the works being made specially for the event. At each event the club holds, we also have an auction, with all proceeds going to the club. They have so many great Chihuahua themed items as well as dogs supplies a plenty to bid on. Vicky and I are going in on a very special item for the Speciality – a crate fully loaded with supplies and one of my handmade crate covers, complete with the...
read moreShe Had 5 In There!!!
Can you believe it? I figured four – but nope! FIVE!!! It started at 10:30 this morning with her begging to be back upstairs. She worked on moving them down until around 3:30 pm, when the pushing commenced. Ya gotta love Ginny! Only an hours worth of pushing and the first pup was here! A black spotted on white boy (with possible tan points) arrived with his brother not far behind. 16 minutes later, his sabled fawn spotted on white brother was born – Both in the 4.5 ounce range and anxiously nursing from the get-go. They were...

I love Ginny so much and for so many reasons. One of which is because whelping with her is such a breeze! She knows the routine and is so laid back about the whole thing. Over the last few days, she has totally POPPED and I am sure we have more than three in there. Carrying that extra load must be exhausting! So much so that this afternoon, she begged to get let upstairs – the location of our guest bedroom/whelping suite. She nested and paced around the room for a bit – as if checking everything out to make sure it’s...
read moreWhat An Amazing Day
A day we have been working for the last two months – walking the show ring with Sugar and Huggie! My head is still spinning with all of the amazing changes and progress with our program since the first of the year and today was just the first of what I hope to be a lifetime of ring walks. Granted, it was only a Fun Match with the Tampa Bay Chihuahua Club, but still, it was a ring walk! Sugar, Huggie, Jessa and I headed out this morning and wasn’t too sure how the day would play out. I have table training nailed but walking on a...
read moreDoggy Bed Love
It’s amazing how quickly puppies develop. When Annie arrived here, she could barely wobble walk and mostly belly crawled to her desired destinations. Now that she spends the majority of the day in with our older pups, she has learned quickly how to keep up. She has also figured out that the doggy beds in the puppy playpen are the most comfortable. And in the last 10 days, she has mastered running and climbing – Fabulous skills to be the pup that claims the comfiest spot in the...
read moreA Bunch Ya Think?
Ginny has reached day 58 of her pregnancy and it seems as though she has doubled in her wide-load load in the last week. I knew she was having a large litter. When I say large, I mean more than two. But looking at her stretch herself out today, it is quite apparent that we have at least four! The excitement of seeing the results of Ginny and Goody’s breeding is immense but now to know there will be 4+ to drool and watch grow up –...
read moreAce Took The Back Seat
Ace has been the sire to the majority of our litters lately but now that Quik is of age and blue is as ripe as they get, Ace got to take a back seat today. You guessed it! Quik is officially a man! He handled it all like a champ. This will be Blue’s last litter – We are very excited to see what our handsome and social Quik can bring to the...
read moreShe’s Doing Great!
Annie is sustaining herself overnight and has started to gum on puppy kibble! That’s a great sign to her progress. Weaning without a nursing mom can be a tricky one but now that Annie’s teeth have popped through, I see a lot more progress in her future. She is also learning a lot from Hemingway and Ixtapa. Annie was a singleton litter so entering her weaning stage with some adopted litter mates has been a...
read morePlaytime at 10 Weeks
Hemingway and Ixtapa turned 9 weeks old yesterday and when they came out to play with the girls in my daughter’s Girl Scout troop tonight, it was very apparent that all of our socialization has really paid off. They almost spent the entire meeting with the girl’s and couldn’t seem to get...
read morePerfect Pick!
The first initial of “J” aside, Jillionaire was their perfect pick. I can only do so much in typing a description or explaining it over the phone. From the moment they walked in the door, Jen and Justin saw first hand what I was trying to say. Jillionaire was running to and giving kisses immediately. Our sweetie will be living in the laps of luxury, and we couldn’t be...
