Enjoying Life's Moments Responsibly
Goal Achieved
Our special KC and Flint litter has reached the age of 8 weeks and their structure and temperament evaluations have been completed. We are still very concerned about Flirt and know that she could potentially pass away at any time. She is hydrocephalic and the openings...
Way Too Much Fun
So I had this idea last year after my oldest's wedding. I put together the photo booth for the reception and since then it has been borrowed and used for multiple events. I thought it owl deb really cool to have a photo booth at the CCA's National Specialty event and...
Before Ya Know It
The pups are growing up so fast! I swear, it seems like only yesterday we bought them downstairs and they were sheepishly tiptoeing around our living room,. Now they OWN it, even figuring the steps to get up onto the couch. This litter is growing way too fast. I need...
Celebrating With Friends
We had a repeat of yesterday in the show ring with Georgie but today he wasn't quite himself. Perhaps all of the accolades and partying this weekend, but he was a little "frumpy" in the attitude department. I can say he left his mark by dragging his butt on the down...
Playing Along
When your dog earns it's Champion title, you can move it up to the Best of Breed competition or leave it as a class dog to help maintain the points for the follow class entries. The unwritten rule is to ask the other class exhibitors which they would prefer. The norm...
A Day I Will NEVER Forget!
The TBCC's 60th Specialty was today and not only did the memorable achievement of the club worth noting, the achievements of Team Figgy were immense! Seriously - one for the record books and one I will never forget! It started with Alexis entering the ring for her...
Future Baby Momma
Since we brought down the puppies, Milly has been infatuated with them. She sits pen-side for as long as our mamas will let her, waiting patiently for them to either come out and play or for her to tend to. Her maternal instincts are very apparent and once we are able...
Coming Along Nice
Tino is still a tad too small at this point to start any lead training but he and his sister Flirt are doing great as they mature. Flirt's skull is slowly fusing and her strength is growing. We still have her in our sights but I am very pleased with how she has...
Another Week Down
and they are becoming five very different and independent puppies! Bolt, Rico, Rio, Phelps and Simone make up one of the most entertaining litters ever born here and I do believe we can thank Mr Harry for that. You a see hi in each of the puppies but in different...
Adjusting To The New Schedule
Alexis has been working now for two months and her heart dog Blue has had a bit of a time adjusting to the new schedule. From the moment she walks out the door in the morning to the second she is in the drive way after getting home after work, Blue sits and looks out...
On Alert
As little Flirt and Tino reach the 6 week mark, we are watching them both become very active and independent. They both have a sense of confidence that is a lot of fun to watch mature. As we watched them explore their world with bravery and excitement this week, we...
Everyday It’s Something
At any point throughout the day you look into the pen with Barbie and her babies and you can find the pups in some of the most adorable sleeping positions. Of all the litters born here, this one has been the most creative. Be on the look out for more precious...
5 Weeks Old And Coming Into Their Own
Temperaments and coats are starting to make themselves known! Phelps appears to be the only long coat in the bunch. Possibly Rico but time will tell on that. Rico is also a pretty sensitive boy. The biggest in the bunch physically and the biggest baby! He is a...
More Socialization
When it comes to socialization and puppies, the more the better is my rules of thumb. When Jackie asked to see if she could come meet a puppy that she is interested in, I glommed onto the opportunity. I normally do not allow visitors this early but with her living...
Quite Comfy
Do you think the pups are adjusted and comfortable with the sights, sounds, smells and activity in a family dwelling now that they are downstairs and in the thick of it?? They sleep through everything! Doorbells, hurricanes (Hermine to be exact) thunder and...
And So They Wait
Every time I head out to take Alexis to or pick he up from work, these three amigos have to be placed into the front family room. If they aren't in the front room they have special little Chihuahua meltdowns. This usually includes howling, a lot of jumping up and down...
Time To Feast
The puppies are now officially downstairs in our very own Puppy Kindergarten and boy are they loving life in their larger abode. Lots of running, stumbling, wrestling and playing being had - So much so that the puppy mush has been introduced to help fill belles and...
Quick But Slow
I cannot believe these two are already 5 weeks old! In another week we will be starting the lead break them! As quickly as they are getting older they are slo slowing down in the size department. As big as they were at birth and while they were puppy blobs, once they...
Yeah, I Think We’re Good
One of our biggest concerns about Alexis showing Pryia was having her have to interact with our Chihuahua crew. We have some grumpy adults around here that don't really like change too much. Especially change that involves another dog of another breed that is 200%...
A First
In all of our years of living with dogs and maneuvering around doggy gates, we have never been greeted in such a way by any dogs. We have always used them to separate dogs where w have girls in season, are feeding the crew or if ones just being too testy. So have one...
