Sugar inspired our bath day today. She totally loves rolling and playing in the dirt. She would dig to China if she could! And of course, her white coat is a magnet to all of the dirt, turning her into more of a dusty gray color. Last night’s nasty weather created more of a mud bath and Sugar dove right in. Not to be left outdone, several of the others followed suit and rolled in the mud piles, making for quite the icky doggy mess. Needless to say, out came the Dawn dish washing soap and towels. What a...
Read MoreIn recognition of Valentines Day, I thought I would share a little doggy love. Or should I say, a way a dogs shows love. When you have more than one Chihuahua in your home, you will be entertained in many ways by their wrestling and playing. In addition to all of the fun, there is also the cuddling and the grooming. I always tell people you will never have a dirty ear issue with two Chihuahuas in your house! I have been asked many times why Chihuahuas will appear to be nibbling on the back of each others ears. This is nothing to be concerned about when it is part of their grooming routing. Yes, with targets as large as a Chihuahua’s ears they can be part of a...
Read MoreOur Hotel KZ guests are back home and our happy campers are cuddling with our spoiled spa princesses. Why you may ask that I described the girls that stayed at Karen’s this way?Because of THIS! Karen said Blue sat patiently for an entire pedicure. That included clipping and filing of the nails and then a coat or two of hot pink polish! How adorable is that?!?!? And while Blue shows off her purty paws off to everyone, I get to wash loads of camping as well as puppy litter laundry. It’s a good thing I don’t get pampered like that – my nails couldn’t withstand the work I have ahead of...
Read MoreWith our little sweeties finally 8 weeks old, they finally got their first deep conditioning, fully foamed bath. Of the two, Gater was the calmest and seemed to truly enjoy all of the attention. Flirtini on the other hand was a tad bit more apprehensive to the water but realized quickly that the scrubbing felt really good! Both weighed in yesterday at the 1 and 1/2 pound mark. This of course means they both got their tiny size from their daddy Ace and I truly don’t see either ever making the 5 pound mark – More like 4 to 4 1/2...
Read MoreI spent the day at Karen’s today, with several dogs and ideas in tow. Capri has had the longest “pre-heat tease” known to man and as of Monday, has finally shown the definitive sign. With spotting apparent, her most current heat is finally upon us and also my last ditch effort to see if she will breed. Up until this point, she has refused to stand for any dog, especially males. Yesterday she started to stand for females, so I thought I would try an male that is from outside to see if there is something specific about the boys in the house that has held her back. Boy is the perfect specimen to try my experiment on so she came along today to see if she...
