Perfect Patients
KC and Georgie are doing fabulous! They are recovering perfectly and have been the perfect little patients. As usual with males, they recover quickly and that was the case with Georgie. He was up and running around within hours of being home. KC on the other...
It’s Snippity Do-Dah DAY!
We were off to Lakeland today to see Dr. Rodgers - KC and Georgie are being retired to laps of luxury and today is the day of their surgeries! Georgie is getting to go see his daddy Beamer up in Rhode Island in the bestest home ever - Jane and Paul better get a bigger...
Rootin’ From The Couch
Granted, I was there live - in person - ALL WEEK - but it sure was nice to be able to see our sport on the TV - Nationally Televised Event! Now we already know the results of the Groups and Best in Show but I was loving being able to see the snippets and such to take...
Ringin In The New Year
It's a quiet night at the figgy house as we ring in the year 2018. It's been amazing year of accomplishments personally as well as professionally but I'm excited to see what the new year brings. The dogs on the other hand? They're not too sure of this cold weather...
Oh Yeah – We’re Good!
Since I've been training Tipsy to walk on the lead I thought I would take her and Duper out together see how well they do. Oh yeah! We are all good! The two of them walked together as if they been doing it their entire lives. He's definitely helped her with her...
Duper Is Here!
My dear friend Marcy and I have been planning this day for a long time. She has a very special dog named Duper that we decided would come down here to Florida to get some showing experience under his belt. Also under my belt! He would give me an opportunity to show a...
Merry Figgy Christmas
I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! For those of you know our family, it's a very quiet holiday this year as it is our first as unique empty-nesters. We took advantage of the empty house and set up a very special tree from years ago. Back in the days...
We Placed Again!!!!
I'm so unbelievably proud! Barbara and I have work successfully together for the last six years on the Meet the Breed booth at the AKC National Championships here in Orlando. From the moment we realized we had a chance to actually compete, she and I put together our...
What An Amazing Day In OTown!
I honestly don't even know where to begin to share just how amazing today was! I woke up thinking it was just going to be such an honor to participate. Never in my wildest dreams but I've thought things would unfold the way that they did! We didn't come home with any...
We Have A Tie!

Day Three I Actually Had to WORK!
Boy did I have a lot to do today! Not only did I get to use my amazing leash holdings skills but I also got to do a photo session! Family Christmas photos and senior portrait,s in addition to ringside candids! I was totally in my element and loving my time behind the...
Let The Game Begin!
The AKC National's Week has begun here in Orlando and I couldn't NOT partake in the fun! I didn't enter any of our Chihuahuas during the week - Only on Friday for the Owner Handler competition and the CCA Regional Specialty - But when Sandy and I talked about heading...
The Girls Are In Season
Both Milly and Marge have come into season and both will be bred! Both breedings are very exciting as well! First, this would be Margie's last breeding and then she will retire with us permanently. I'm very excited to see what she produces. She'll be going back to...
Hurricane Has A Perfect Forever Mommy!
When Georgia contacted me about Hurricane and wondered if he might be a good fit for her lifestyle I was like OMG yes! He's the sweetest and most social one of the bunch - So much so that we would have been more than happy to have him live his life out with the Figgy...
So Close! And Then A YAHOOOO!
So they say you need to walk into the ring every single time is if you're going to win. I really suck at that! I walked in assuming I was going to have the same results as the last two days… A select if I'm lucky… There are way too many amazing dogs here this weekend....
Ugly Sweater Day
While Tino and I may not be getting our owner-handler points we've been getting Select, so that's going towards his grand. I can't really complain. Today was not about Tino and I've. It was about celebrating the amazing accomplishments of my friends! Dolly got a...
Playing With The Big Boys
I knew when I decided to bring Tino out has a grand champion that it would be difficult. Thanks to my lack of skill, training him to be a "special " is not my forte. He doesn't stand there like a statue with his tail wagging when I try to free bait him. He usually...
Our Own Jungle-Gym
While on the subject of our sweet Breezy, I should share that she is hands-down, the sweetest step-mommy to our Chihuahuas! So maternal and so gentle with even the tiniest of Chihuahuas, she will bend down and play with them for hours! She will very gently paw them,...
Thanks For The Girls
While I absolutely love my life being surrounded by Chihuahuas, on this Thanksgiving, I wish to give thanks for the gifts that Junior Showmanship has brought into our family's lives. Not only unbelievable opportunities for my daughter to experience the amazing life...
