She’s A Lay-Day
Oh Yes! Tom Jones would be proud! Our sweet Smoochie is official a woman! Her first season technically arrived last week but she is in standing heat today and the whole house is a flutter! She is taking it all in stride, having to deal with the separation from the...
Whole New Concept In Dog Beds
When breeders share ideas with fellow breeders, there are a lot of "Oh My Word! That's BRILLIANT!" moments. You see, dog beds are always a battle and to find the perfect solution to the many issues that can arise has been impossible. Up until today that is! If you are...
The Evolution of a Long Coat
I have been mentioning the "puppy uglies" that long coat Chihuahua puppies go through, for years. Seriously, there are so pups that get down right nasty looking! The loss of their puppy coat begins around 3 1/2-4 months and for a period of time there, they look like...
Spike’s Amazing Adventure Begins!
It's been a over a month in the making but Spike's adventure began this afternoon and I don't know who I am more excited for - Spike or Alex and Dustin? We have been planning this day for a while and now that Spike sustaining his sugar levels and of course, at an...
Scrub-A-Dub-Dub Time
The puppies got their first "spa treatment" today. They have had baths with puppy shampoo but today, it was all about the luxury smelly-goods with their first bath using Isle of Dogs' Evening Primrose Oil shampoo followed with Light Management Conditioner. With the...
13 Weeks
They may have all started out in shades of grey but now that the puppies are 13 weeks old, you can clearly see their coloring is each individually their own. From steel blue to chocolate blue, these three adorable pups are uniquely unique in color, size and...
The Cleaners
The chances of having a cleaner in your house if you have multiple Chihuahuas is pretty high. I am not sure what it is about this breed but there are those individuals Chis that prefer clean eyes and ears and they themselves will take care of the cleaning on the...
SNL Fan?
Little Spike is back to his playful puppy-self and during today's romp in the living room, he became fascinated with my wedding ring. Teething puppies will chew on ANYTHING, even a rock-hard diamond. As he wrestled with my fingers, I snapped away some photos to...
12 Weeks Old
Tipsy and the boys are 12 weeks old today and you cannot deny their adorableness that's for sure! And they are spending a lot more time out and about, playing with their adult buddies. The majority of the afternoon is actually spent freely running a muck in the...
Our Eternal Puppy
Beamer is forever playing and greeting our fellow dogs with the energy of youth that can only be described as puppyhood. He was the first to welcome and bond with Boomer, a Pug that is five times his size. Beamer may be...
Sunday Couch Buddies
As the rain falls from the sky, our house projects have been put on hold and the couch is the resting place for us humans. My husband has been catching up on his news during our afternoon break and his couch buddies have made it known that they have missed him. Dewey...
And They Wait
All companion breeds love their "person". With two different companion breeds in our home, it's interesting to not these common traits. Boomer is very attached to his person, my daughter. He is with her at all times, following her around the house and under her feet....
Oh Yeah! He’s Back
Spikeage is back to his happy go lucky self and to anyone that has had to deal with the hypoglycemic cycle of a tiny puppy, you know it has been a journey. If you haven't, here's the deal.... When they have a deep sugar drop, the Nutri-Cal or Kayro syrup given to...
Been To Training?
You can tell these dogs have received training. With all of the dogs running in the backyard this morning, my daughter raised her hand and noticed that those that have been bait trained immediately stood at attention. There was no bait or anything, just a raised hand....
The Tinies
Spikeage is back with his litter mates and his sister Tipsy couldn't be more thrilled. Stoli has always been the rambunctious one on the bunch and lets just say, she gets along better with her equally as tiny brother. And he too loves being back. He tolerated and...
The Back of the Couch
That's where you can find any of our Chihuahuas at any given time throughout the day. They LOVE to lay up there. Yes, it freaks me the heck out and I have tried to keep them down from there but no matter how many times I try, nothing I do works. These little buggers...
Skyy Will Be SPOILED
Today was the day for Adam & Ruth to come and see Skyy - and his day to go to his new forever home! He stolen their hearts almost instantly, settling into their laps and giving kisses within minutes of their arrival. He will be the new forever best friend to...
The Belly Speaks
Spikeage has got to be the sweetest little puppy ever! Before he began his bout with hypoglycemia, he would run and play and then wham, lay down, roll over onto his back and expose his belly. His front paws will actually wave in the air to get your attention, begging...
The Girls Are Back
KC and Smoochie are back here with us in the pack and it was as if they never left! After the tail wag gin' meet-and-greet, right up onto the couch and cuddled into the blankets they went. Both girls have missed out on the joys of playing with puppies. Now that the...
Time For The Crashes
When you combine Teddy's lineage, a tiny sized pup and a late weaning, you get the crash. It's something we look for in every Teddy litter, which we were luckily spared in the last. With our first Teddy litter, all three girls has sugar crashes after weaning. With...
