Enjoying Life's Moments Responsibly
The Move Is Complete
As I mentioned earlier, I am in the process of transiting the dog food in our house and I am proud to announce the process is officially complete! Our newest litter of puppies have known nothing but Merrick Puppy Classic Real Chicken Brown Rice and Green Pea Recipe...
Buzzity-Buzz-Buzz
The girls had their weekly grooming lessons today and I thought that we would go for the puppy cut on our matriarch to help her coat come in a bit thicker. Since her spay, her coat has been allowed to come in and boy did it take root and grow wild! Spotchy and...
Splishity-Splash
The puppies will be 8 weeks old tomorrow and the last few days have been filled with many amazing firsts. Yesterday, they all had their very first bath! Using the Isle of Dogs Everyday Tearless Puppy Shampoo, they were all sudsed up and cleaned. Boy do they smell...
Time To Rid The House of Tear Stains
Chihuahua's eyes are one of the traits that make the breed the breed. They also include a lot of tearing. With fawn as well as white coated Chihuahuas, the tearing can also lead to staining. That orangy-red coloration is a pain in the butt to remove, especially for...
It’s The Beamer Dance
Beamer is such a happy go lucky boy and an eternal puppy for life. With that being said, he and his happy dance are uniquely Beamer's. I spend many hours in front of my Mac working and leave it to this sweet boy to come and remind me every few hours to stop and take a...
Meet The Boys
The puppies are 7 weeks old today and I can tell you that this past week has been filled with many playful sessions, giving us a rather clear picture of the unique personalities of each puppy in this litter. SO different are each and oh so fun. We have also made a...
Totally At Home
Mia ia so totally part of the family now - It's as if she has been here from the beginning! I so love when a transition goes so smoothly. She makes everything so easy! When she first got here, we tried to feed her separately to transition her from the her food to...
Working On Her Confidence
Bella is such a beautiful girl, giving us high hopes for another bred-by to be in the ring. Structurally speaking, her tail set and top line are to die for! And when it comes to confidence, here at the house, she is Best of Breed for sure. It's the moment that she...
Snackin’ Through The Kabooms
This litter is definitely comfortable with all of the booms in Florida. We have had a rather stormy spring and start to summer, with a heck of a lot of thunder and lightening. Mother Nature's training sessions prepared them completely for the last two evenings which...
They Are 6 Weeks Old
I have said it from day one - This is one very unique litter of Chihuahua puppies! Not only do they each have their own, shade or hue to their coat, and they prefer to NOT sleep in fluffy dog beds but they also have different textures and sheen to their long coats....
You Know I Had To Buy This
I know my Toy Hauler Renovation Project is on hold but when I saw these Chihuahua wall hooks at my local Target, I had to pick me up a few for when the project kicks back into gear. We have several of the BÄSTIS doggy-butt hooks in black from Ikea but I LOVE the...
Mia Loves The Puppies
The puppies are at the totally playful stage and Mia is loving that! If the puppies are out of the open to play, she is right there, ready and waiting to dive into the fun. Games of chase are her favorite but she has also shown that she has some amazing motherly...
Plumpin Up
The puppies are 5 weeks old today and thanks to the ubermilk that Barbie produces AND the moist food that that have been gobbling down for the last week and a half, they have plumbed up quite nicely. This is a rather playful litter and to keep those sugar drops from...
Mid-Life Crisis
I see this happen at some point with all of our bred-by Chihuahuas, no matter how old they are. When we have a litter of puppies, the moment we set up the Iris pen in the living room, they go back. They go back to the days of their own puppyhood and want to feel that...
What Did I Tell Ya?
This litter prefers to nap on the pee-pad! The majority of the time, this is how you will find them napping and interestingly enough, it's not just the sleeping location that has become standard. They also seem to find our little runt, Tipsy, to be the best pillow!...
Our Hunter-Gatherer
Mia is DA BOMB! I must thank my dear friend Sandy with Kesabrey Chihuahuas for the amazing opportunity to bring Mia into our home and into our hearts. She has only been here for about 36 hours and it is as if she has lived here her entire life! She blended right into...
Great Way To End The Weekend
We only had to miss Beamer and Hope while over in the Junior's ring and from what I hear, she did her magic. There was no nipping but there was still a desire to try to...
Worst Conflict This Far
Our final day of the weekend not only splits us into two different rings at 8:30 am but today, we are in two completely different buildings! With the chance that all of the entries show in the Novice Senior class, Alexis opted to start the day out at the Junior ring....
What Ya Think?
With the shows being so close to home this weekend, I have been coming home after breed and then heading back up to watch Groups. I have been hanging with the girls, having a great time and catching up with everyone. SO much to share but I can tell you this...I am...
We Got Through Breed
As I explained, Juniors and Chihuahuas were in side-by-side rings and all but Spike made it into the Breed ring this morning. The girls were able to handle both of the girls, while I had to bring...
