Ace 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 MoreGator’s New Forever Mommy
I have shared how Gator’s grandma fell head over heels for him and after the confirmation of my concerns with his structure, her dream of making him hers was fulfilled. The moment I told her that he could go home with her, I could actually hear her heart skip a beat over the phone. Today was the day and the welcoming committee was there to greet him. Of course, his new forever family humans were tickled pink but the feline and canine members were the ones we were most excited about introducing to him. They could make or break the plan! Skittles the cat immediately wanted to play. Gator was taken aback at first but soon realized, she was a friend, not a foe. Now...
Read MoreEval Day
When breeding for show potential puppies, it is always best to get the opinion of an unbiased set of eyes and today was one of those evaluation days. My gut feelings have been growing for the past few months, all building up for this afternoon and I can proudly announce my gut was right! The good, the bad and the in-between. When Karen’s amazing Chica produced her last litter, the prayers were for an amazing female to continue her amazing reign. Unfortunately, it was only The Burrito, the male puppy that we fostered for his first six weeks. When we were blessed to have Chicatoo join our crew, the honor was huge. Since Chica will no longer be whelping, I felt the...
Read MoreGator’s Grandma
Way back when Ace was just a couple months older than his son Gator, he went to stay with a very close friend of ours and her family. She fell hard for Ace’s sweet face and even sweeter demeanor. He stayed with her until he was about a year old – When he was ready to start breeding. Of course, since then, we have had many black and white, long coat Chihuahua pups but not until now have we had an Ace puppy with the same colors. When Gator was about 3 weeks old, she was over for a visit and without me even saying a word, she squealed, “Oh My Goodness! This is Ace’s baby isn’t it?” A “Grandma” knows I tell you! She is here a...
Read MoreMy Job Is Done
Ace is officially done with his current obsession, I mean, his job! The whining and howling have finally subsided and he is finally able to “step away” from his favorite girl. Do you see the look of success, pride and accomplishment on his face? I swear there is a twinkle in his eye!
Read MoreAll About Body Heat
Colada is in her primest of prime right now. How do I know you may ask? Well, because Ace started howling and wailing to get to her last night, which went right into this morning. The decision was made to simply leave the two in the kitchen all day today. We woke to very cold temperatures which have dropped even lower now that the sun has gone down. I had to pause for a moment to take note of this adorable sight – The two love birds cuddling to stay warm with body heat. With ceramic tile floor and a huge floor to ceiling window, I am sure it was rather nippy down there. But don’t feel too bad for them. They are simply resting up for their next...
Read MoreGoing Out With A Bang
After learning so much from Dr. Hutch at the symposium and using a few of his pointers, we decided it was time for Colada and Ace to give it another go. Their last litter was so amazing, I am hoping for a repeat with more smooth coats. And since Ace queued us in on the fact that Colada is totally prime, before the ball started to drop, we plopped the two into the same room to see if we can say good bye to 2011 with a bang. Ohhhh yeah! Didn’t take Ace but a few minutes to get the job done. We will be looking for puppies at the end of...
Read MoreUsed It – Didn’t Loose It
So today was suppose to be my cleaning day. I started by picking up all of the items off the family room floor and then that’s when everything changed. The holiday season had me pulled into a million and one different directions and I totally forgot about the doggy beds I had put up onto the back of the couch. Clearly, the dogs didn’t though! Eight hours later, I was reminded as I looked over and saw the dogs up and in the beds even though they were not where they were suppose to be. They are THEIR beds, they were gonna use...
Read MoreChilly?
It’s the first big chill of the season and the dogs are truly enjoying the fact that I have pulled the curtains on our back sliding doors. This one basic step has brought in enough light – and warmth – for all of our Chihuahuas. A few in our pack took to it immediately, with the others following suit shortly after. It’s all about the sunlight when the temps drop below 70 in this...
