Like 7 Inches From The Mid-Day Sun
If you know the song - IT'S A HOT ONE! And one you add the humidity you know it was a true scorcher. Not the best weather for an outdoor B Match but we did our best to make it work. It was a small entry - Only those that were crazy enough to endure the heat - but...
Toy Freaks
If you keep up with the Figgy crew you know we have a few that passionate love their doggy toys. Georgie and Milly are notoriously dragging them out of the toy basket and playing with them on the middle of the floor. Today Georgie pulled out the tire chew toy and once...
Harry’s Gonna Be A Daddy!
Today we canceled Barbie's dental appointment after Harry told us that Barbie is READY! Yes, she went into season right after KC did but I thought they were two weeks off. Based on Harry's interest and and then tie this afternoon, yeah, they are less than a week...
Way To Welcome Summer
I am home with the dogs this Memorial Day weekend with the rest of the Figgy crew out of State visiting family. We have spent the weekend binge watching TV, cuddled up on the couch. Tt was until yesterday late afternoon. Yes, we were on the couch but not for the same...
Professionals Have Spoken
I took my own advice and resorted to going to the professionals. If we are going to try to replicate KC's amazing traits we need to get a move on! She will be four years old in November so it's now or never. Since I am convinced that I have been missing her...
Boys and Their Toys
As the girls become more and more hormonal, the boys have been marking their territory in every way they find possible. Since they have no access to the girls with them currently residing in a different room, they have resorted to claiming toys. It's funny to watch...
One For The Other
As Milly's due date arrives with an uneventful and, KC's swelling has moved onto flagging is what seems as over-night! Seriously! I noticed her swelling only on Friday. We have been trying to get KC bred for the last year and a half but it never takes. Maybe this time...
A Very Full Day
Our day started early and is ending late with a lot of downtime in between. We came up early to help Debbie with the Toy Fox Terriers. (Oz took breed!!!) and then the Pugs showed at 11:00. Alexis and Boomer took breed again too - Both boys get to go to grips together!...
Twas NOT A Repeat
For the first time that I can ever remember the Chihuahuas showed at 3:45 pm and it made for a very long LONG day. The Toy Fox Terriers showed at 8:30 so we have been here ALLLLLLLL Day. I think perhaps that pooped out our little ones because neither Georgie or KC...
Stripping Knife
We started our day with Pugs and we got to spend it with Rayna and Normandy! Any adventures with them is a true treat so showing wit them this morning made the day! And we are all going out to dinner tonight too! Double Awesome! The triple awesome part was the fact...
Chihuahua Love For Sure
It was a great morning at the Greater Daytona Dog show today. First of all, I have to thank our Judge, Mr. De Villeneuve for seeing our sweet Georgie for the special man that he is. Georgie showed his butt off today and was totally rewarded for it with the Judge...
Time For Teefers
As we prep and groom for another dog show weekend, we added teeth brushing for all of the dogs to the mix. Harry has beeb adjusting to our dental procedures, which include a brushing it paste, whitening rinse and then breath freshener. We love them pearly whites!...
Spa Day
Baby went with her "person" - my oldest son - and his new and amazing wife, when they moved to Texas. She fit right in Chewey, the Yorkiepoo, and together, they have had quite a few adventures. From paddle-boating to helping feed the ducks to weekends captured on...
Dog Friendly Rugs
Rugs and dogs can create a love-hate thing very easily! Ours LOVE to nap on our rugs and when the sun is shining in on a rug that's like utopia for them! Then you have the 'ol "Is THIS washable pee-pad????" I love the fact that we trained our dogs to use washable pads...
Chi-Cats
I have commented several times that Chihuahuas are just like cats wen it comes to walking across and napping the backs of couches. The majority scale the backs to get from one side to the other but a select few have mastered the whole napping thing. So when I stooped...
We Shall Try Again
I also brought Milly along with me to the vet to get pregnancy X-rays. I always do this for first time moms to get a number of pups but this time, it was to confirm if she even was pregnant. She had all of the signs of pregnancy a few weeks back but now I felt nothing...
Wouldn’t You Know It!
Olive was not only spayed but had five puppy teeth pulled out of her month. I held her as she cm to and was quite loopy for he entire ride home. Georgie on the other hand had four puppy teeth pulled. We talked about what to expect before the drive home. Olive may not...
The Day Has Come
...for Olive to finally be spayed! I was so worried about our tiny one going under but it was inevitable and I would only trust my favorite veterinarians in the whole wide world! In addition to being spayed we decided to take advantage of being under and pull those...
A Gift To Myself
Attention fellow Best In Show Trolley worn and lovers. If you are like me you have mutter more than once how the trolley would be 300% perfect if it only had a cup holder. I have had cups on the top of mine only to have it dump over once I start to move over less than...
We Did It This Year!
We packed up our costume wearing crew of Chihuahuas and headed on out to the Daytona Beach Bandshell bright and early to try to get a good spot big enough for all of our peeps. Hoping to see Shannon and Tony again this year, we also had new additions to the event....
