True Florida Dogs

We received this amazing holiday gift today from my mom and I honestly have never seen the dogs go this nuts over any package the UPS man delivers – Even when their doggy treats arrive! A dry ice encased box of lobster, shrimp and crab is what got all of their tails a waggin and I swear if they could have gotten to the contents they would have devoured it all, frozen or not. Not too sure if any of them have seafood allergies but in case you wondered, dogs can eat seafood, in moderation. In our case, of crew won’t be given the chance to try it, this is going to me our Christmas...

Gotta Love Benadryl

While the girls were out on one of their play sessions in the backyard this afternoon, Colada came back in the house with a swollen lip! Chihuahuas love to dig in the dirt to get to dead lizards and any found kitty poops. They also are often fascinated with moving bugs, many times using them as a toy! I think a combination of the both resulted in Colada getting bit by something. She was such a sweet girl while we tended to her boo-boo and patiently dealt with the uncomfortableness of the swelling. (It couldn’t have been that bad – She chowed no problem on a piece of the kid’s lunch that fell on the floor) Now here is your head’s up on allergic...

Day Two Is Better

MiMi had another bout with reactions to the rabies vaccine last night and then again, one more time today. We haven’t seen it again since and she is finally back to her playful, lovable self. For any of you wanting to see what a vaccine reaction looks like, here are a couple photos I snapped. It is so quick that until now, it’s been rather hard to capture. With these pictures, I will also try to explain the progression…. It started with her scratching her head up against anything that she could, as if trying the  scratch out of her own skin. Thanks to her light coat, we could see the next stage happen – Starting with a very pale shade of pink,...

Lady Lake Adventures

I got a call  this week from Mrs. Garcia with some concerns over sweet CC. She absolutely adores her and hated making the call, but her puppy energy is just a bit too much for her to handle. CC plays a darting game at the door and she is afraid one time she won’t be able to stop her and CC could get hurt – or lost.  So today we drove out to Lady Lake to pick her up and bring her home. The moment CC laid her eyes upon me, she practically jumped into my arms. That’s quite a height to jump for her! She gave me tons of kisses and was beyond excited to see me! SO Sweet! We promised Mrs. Garcia we would find her the perfect match – a more laid-back...
