Tell Me…

…that little Annie is not the cutest Chihuahua puppy you have ever seen! I dare you! She is doing great at weaning, napping and eating with our older pups and of course, enjoying playsession with them as well as our other dogs. Sugar has claimed her as her own and ironically, Suri who has conveniently entered her heat today, has done everything she can to dominate her. She is gentle about it but man, like Annie is any real competition, right? Annie’s biggest activity has been playing with toys. Stuffed toys are being wrestled...

Another All Day Adventure

Another All Day Adventure

So much on the list and all was accomplished – And then some even! It started with vaccines and health certificates for Colada’s puppies. Jilli and Hemingway are big enough for vaccines but we decided to hold off on Ixtapa until she gets a bit bigger. Other than her tiny size, she check out perfectly! We also brought Maui so that she too could get a health certificate so she can go home with Linda this weekend. Because she is older, her check consisted of a Heartworm test and a fecal exam, which both had negative results. The...

A New Dog Bed Find

A New Dog Bed Find

I am sure I am not alone in the quest for the perfect dog bed. Of course, my situation is a unique one and my needs are not like many others out there, but my latest find could potentially solve many’s issues. Washing dog beds is always a nightmare. Finding a washing machine with the capacity needed is always an issue. Then of course comes the foam vs. fluff problem. If the dog bed has foam pieces in it, the moment you wash it, that foam dislodges out of place and becomes a twisted mess. I resolved both of those issues when I made...

Wouldn’t Ya Know It

As the puppies turn eight weeks old today, there has been an interesting “changing of the guards”. Blue is smack dab in the middle of her ripest part of her heat – Hormones a plenty! Colada has been nursing these three puppies for eight straight weeks, sharp puppy teeth and all. Starting this past weekend, Colada has all but given up on allowing them to nurse while Blue actually jumps into the pen to “nurse” them. No! She doesn’t have any milk! But they still chomp down. Man, that’s gotta...

Soooo Happy for Maui

Linda fell in love with Chihuahuas thanks to her daughter and son-in-law’s amazing duo, Brady and Cocoa. She actually followed the litters we have had over the last several months and fell pretty hard for Maui. Of course, from the beginning, our intentions were to keep her here with us. When she heard that we were looking for a perfect new home for her, it was as if the stars aligned and signs were clear. Maui was meant to be with her! Today included a visit to see if Maui felt the same way. Cuddles in Linda’s arm proved that it...

View From The Back

Our new furniture and it’s arrangement has given us all a totally new vantage point to my husband’s nightly dinner time ritual. Normally when he sits on the couch, our only view is from the backside of the dogs. Now, we see what my husband sees – this time from HIS back. And from this side, he looks like an amazing conductor to a magnificent orchestra. They all follow his hand like a bunch of cats to a laser pointer. Then they wait patiently until he is almost done, saving the last few morsels for them. They know the drill...

She’s So Pretty

In addition to adding two new girls to our program, we have also decided to keep Jessa here with us a bit longer to help her build more self confidence and hopefully get her into the show ring! Structurally, she is VERY nice. We just need to help her realize just how wonderful she is. We will be sure to share her progress as we prepare her for the...

It’s Official

We have made a decision and I cannot tell you just how amazingly thrilled and honored I feel right now. Vicky was so kind to allow us to bring Eve and Suri home with us for a test run and they both fit in perfectly. With that being said, we also fell hard and we adore them both. Today we made it official! Eve and Suri will be staying here with us! Thank you so much Vicky for helping make my dreams come...

Thank You Huggie

Thank You Huggie

He looks so sweet sleeping there doesn’t he? He laid down beside the door we have separating the kitchen from the living room. If you follow our blog, you know what this means! Blue has officially gone into heat. Huggie alerted us to the fact by spending a LOT of time napping with and grooming her over the last couple days. It went from being her shadow to heightened attention and a high pitched whine. Needless to say, the boys and girls we separated and he has been laying just outside of the room that she is now in ever...

Ginny Is With Pup

Just like clockwork, she enters the 6th week of her pregnancy and she pops! She cuddled up next to me last night, belly exposed, as if telling me “Feel um??” She’s such an awesome mommy to be!
