His First Indoor Show
I cannot tell you how proud I was of Georgie this morning. We are here in Lakeland for the next four days, taking in the shows at the Sun N Fun property. I love this location and we always make such wonderful memories here. This morning it was watching Georgie take on...
Show Beauty Secrets
So here are a couple of shows dog secrets for you. They are both going to help you with pigment. First, like many Chihuahuas, Georgie is little tad in the pigment department. He has what is called a Dudley nose, where it is a lighter color in the middle then the...
Our Own Lil Fievel
Olive has what is called a parrot mouth - Basically a really bad overbite. It's just another endearing trait our sweet baby girl was gifted with. Tonight while chillin on the couch, instead of a snore, she let out this subtle whistle. It was when I look down that I...
Go Chihuahuas!!!!!
We have been reading all of the great updates and news on Facebook this week while our friends have been up in New York (freezing their butts off) and taking in all things Westminster. It's the how of the year and to be able to root your friends on is amazing....
Sharing The Love
When the hubster and I planned what we could do for Valentines Day we tossed in a a little bit of everything - He wanted the beach - I wanted to bring the dogs - He wanted sea food - I wanted a cocktail. Come to find out, the closest dog beach is just over an hour...
Couch Potatoes
If my husband is on the couch, you can guarantee that KC and Olive are right there with him. I mean always! And they are either on his lap or on his shoulder. Unlike me, they don't nudge him when he is snoring or groan when he moves. They just go with the the flow and...
Once A Week Schedule
To help promote a healthy coat, bathing your dog at least one a week is the way to go. Granted, thats when you are using a high quality shampoo and conditioner. If you are a subscriber of our blog, you know we are Isle of Dogs peeps. Royal Jelly and Nutrient Mask...
Football Season
When I opened the the birthday gift from my sister , I saw instantly what the year's theme was - the dogs! She is the best gift getting EVER and this year she truly made me smile. Doggy magnets, a gift card to PetSmart and tiny little Detroit Lions jersey that was...
Puppy Bowl XII
Just as we do every year, we start Super Bowl Sunday with an afternoon of PUPPIES! We so love to watch the Puppy Bowl and this year was no different. We always root for the Chihuahuas and Pugs as well as the mixes. This year it was all about Stella, Magic, Chichi and...
The Sun Rug
As always, our afternoons bring the sun rays in through the windows on the back of our house and when the temperatures fall below 75 degrees, our crew will gather in those very spots and nap. Today the temps never made it over 60 degrees and that sun warmth was...
Milly Is Our Eternal Puppy
Milly is almost 14 months old but she is still as playful and goofy as an 8 week old pup. She is the cement to our family of Chihuahuas, keeping the older ones fit by inspiring games of chase and keeping our younger ones healthy as the pack cleaner and also...
Dremel Time – Lessons in Dog Nails
So if I had a dollar for every time I suggested cat claw clippers to new and even long-time Chihuahua owners, I would be a very rich woman! They are the best and easiest tool you can use to clip a Chi's nails, especially because of their tiny size. We have several...
Looks Like We Have Another Fire Lover
We always have one! A Chihuahua that finds the heat from burning fire enticing. And interestingly enough, the majority are long coats. Tipsy clearly enjoys them up close and personal! Stay Warm Florida! Our week of winter should be over soon 😉
Bubs and The Oz Man
Running errands this weekend and I had to stop by one of my dearest friend's to pick up some stuff. Look who greeted me at the door! Bubbles and Ozzie are the bestest welcome committee ever .
My Favorite Photo From The Circuit
I took a gazillion photos over the last two weekends and after going through them all, I have to tell you that this is my all time favorite. Here is the story behind it... I was sitting ringside watching Alexis and Boomer in the Pug ring while I had Georgie on the...
And AGAIN!!!
Two days in a row against Rufus' son and two days of a very proud Select, along with BOB Owner-Handler. The two have successfully earned 6 more Grand Champion points! And they also nailed it again in Owner-Handler. I am going have to check the stats on the AKC...
Keeping Warm
We had quite the wait between ring times today so between running to the car to keep warm, one of the vendors had their doggy winter coats on sale for $5.00 a piece. You just KNOW I picked some up for the of the dogs right? George and KC toast right up in their new...
Poor Feetsies!
I swear, the weather extremes over the last days has been intense. Having 8am ring times, and being the first dog in the ring three days in a row has not been to our benefit in any way but we are troopers! This morning it is sunny, which is deceiving since it is in...
Nice Home Away From Home
We got a room again this weekend at the Days Inn in Brooksville and this two double bed room as ceramic tile flooring - NICE! After two straight days of cold and wet, it was nice to turn in early and just veg - Keeping toasty warm of course. We worked on fine-tuning...
They’re Back!
Alexis and Boomer are truly back! With Rufus' son CJ in the Pug ring today, getting a Select was an honor. There was no way to get Breed but a Select is not a guarantee. Plus she still got BOB Owner-Handler! I told Alexis that Boomer has put on a nice about of weight...
