Yes To Leather
Our furniture selection was made nine years ago when we moved into this house. It was pre-dog. Well, back when we still had more humans than canines living here. We picked it for it’s comfort and a color scheme that we originally had envisioned. Nine years and a plethora of dogs later, many lessons learned: Fabric holds the dust, dander and fur from our four legged friends Light colored fabric shows every stain, spill and smudge Fabric wears something fierce in nine years! Between the dogs laying on the cushions and the young pups chewing on the edge of cushions (and bases!) Fabric furniture requires weekly vacuuming and as often as monthly steam cleaning with...

While on our breeding adventure yesterday, Cathy from Arf! Chihuahuas came along too. She had a very special package of treats and toys for our crew and I swear, the moment they saw them after I got home, you could see their ears ad eyes sparkle with delight.

We have a rather active house and the vase being...

I have told all my puppy families about the amazing deal on doggy steps from Walgreens but they have become very, VERY hard to find. I know my local Walgreens hasn’t carried them for over a year now. I swore once I found them, I would buy them out! I stopped in at the CVS on University Blvd. today to get me a water and happened to need to go down the dog aisle to get to the coolers. Voila! They had their very own doggy steps for $9.99!!! I BOUGHT FIVE!!! So all my ChiChi loving friends – run to CVS – I mean RUN and get at least two sets. They make couch cuddles and bedtime siestas a breeze and are what I consider a must-have in all Chihuahua...
