Enjoying Life's Moments Responsibly
Picked Right Up
Eddie picked right up where he left off from when he lived here, loving life on the couch, in the pack and running the yard. We have also been conditioning him for life in the ring again to see if he will work as Alexis' Juniors dog. So far he is a bit too soft with a...
Day Two at the ICE Show
We left Milly with Patriot for their breeding so we brought Eddie home with us. It's a doggy flip-flop! We are in search of a Summer Junior Dog for Alexis to use this year and we have decided to see if Eddie might be a good fit. It's been a while since he was at a dog...
Much Anticipated
I am so excited to share that our amazing Milly's much anticipated breeding to CH Cavahua's Liberty Bell's Patriot has become official! Thank you Rita for this amazing opportunity!A wonderful line breeding that will hopefully provide perfect blend of structure,...
A Show Through The Lens Only
I was contacted by International Canine Events Dog Shows to see if I might be interest did doing the photographs. I have never gone to a dog show and not had an entry as well. It was very exciting to watch a show entirely from behind the lens of the camera and also...
It’s Her Turn
When Cheryl sent me her wish list for a Chihuahua puppy it was everything we already have in Tipsy. Seriously! I mean EVERYTHING! The odds of reproducing that to a T are not that high so instead of simply putting her on our waiting list like she requested, I opted to...
This Is How We Roll
We are planning on attending the Chihuahua De Mayo event again this year in Daytona Beach and I wanted to got all out this time on the dog's costumes. We got last minute outfits last year so with 12 months worth of time for planning, I decided to go with a theme for...
Best of Buds
After spending the entire weekend together, Georgie and Nibbles have definitely become the bestest of friends. Now that we are home, they are penned together to help Nibbles to get acclimated. George is doing a great job - He is the host with the most!!! [gallery...
Can’t Win Um’ All
It's been a long time since Alexis and Boomer didn't place at all. I mean AT ALL! No love in the breed ring. They both showed beautifully - The judge just didn't care for our Boomster. It want his day. And in Juniors, no real obvious reason why - perhaps the slightly...
KC’s Turn
With so much more maturing ahead for Georgie and KC's maturing finally arriving, I have decided to split weekends between the two to keep them active in the ring. Today was KC's day to show and I am so proud of her! This is only her second show weekend in over a year...
Reports from Home
While we enjoy the show sights and sounds of life in West Palm Beach this weekend, my husband is back home tending to the rest of the crew. He sends photo and text updates on the dog's antics while we are gone. This weekend he had to deal with the girls in seasons. We...
The Greatness Continued!
To be able to add to the amazing accomplishment of Georgie's first point I am proud to announce that Alexis rocked the rings too! It all started in the Pug ring. Not only did she have competition but they were not all class dogs. Earning a Select against additional...
Georgie Got His First Point!
The long drive and lack of sleep was worth every bit after finishing up in the breed ring with Georgie. Wow! What an amazing morning that starts with a major thank you to Judge Charlotte McGowan for recognizing that our sweet baby boy has potential, despite the fact...
New Show Travel Gear
The more we travel for dog shows, the more we try to pack lighter and add to our gear in a way that makes traveling easier. The first purchase was a SeaBreeze Petite Pen. So much lighter and smaller than the Iris Pens that we use at the house and the perfect choice...
Toddy Has A New Best Friend
All in due time I always say. Toddy has enjoyed ever moment spent here but a forever family to call his own has alway been the goal. When Kristie told her friend about our program, it became very obvious that Toddy could very well be the prefect fit for her and her...
Beautify Lessons
Show grooming lessons will never be denied in this house, that is for sure. Everyone has "their way" and I love to get as many tips and tricks as possible. Today's lessons were given over FaceTime and I must say, were exceptionally telling, teach Alexis and I about...
Went the Chewy Route
So I am sad to say that our local specialty pet supply store has closed and I have had to locate a new way to get my hands on food of the crew. I had two options - local business or online. Local business was my first choice of course. Unfortunately I true Jen-style,...
Look What I Found
So my trip to PetSmart included an exploration of the small animal aisle (now that I know to) and look what I found! Olive and Dewey have new Spring costumes! The carrot is truly my favorite and the bunny was just too cute to not get. They had a yellow chicken costume...
Mr. Nibs
When the stars align it's such a beautiful thing! And when dear friends make it all happen that makes it the most precious star of them all. Mr. Nibbles - Alexis' new Chihuahua for Juniors - has arrived yesterday and we couldn't be more thrilled. He has already ended...
And The Shears Come Out
We have move onto the Super Styling Sessions, Scissoring & Thinning Techniques DVD and within minutes, Alexis pull out our portable grooming table and our collection different shears - Straight, curved and thinning a plenty. I can tell you now that fluff balls of...
Bather Brusher
So we have started Alexis on a DVD Grooming course to help kick start her goal of being a pet groomer (along with a handler of course). We started with the Super Styling Sessions "Bather/Brusher" DVD and it was the perfect choice. Close to two hours were spent with...
