Enjoying Life's Moments ResponsiblyMom and Daughter Agree
Remember that new doggy bed I found on my last minute holiday shopping spree? Well, in a matter of one week, the dogs have proven that they ALL approve of the new napping spot. Ginny and KC crawled into the bed this afternoon and napped there together for quite a...
Ok, The Paper Didn’t Rule
After all of the shredding wrapping paper was picked up, the toys DID become the focus and they clearly did win out. It looks as if the hard, chew toys are the bestest and they all have claimed their stake, going off to a corner to chew away. Of course, we also have...
My View
I have posted entries on the view from my desk before and I love being able to constantly peek in and check on my pups and their moms. Today is our family's Christmas celebration and I have spent the morning finishing the final touches on gifts and am about to take a...
The Screamers
I don't know what it is about Diva and Spike but they are the two loudest players we have in the house. They are drawn to each other and are usually found in an inseparable play session every chance they can get. And they are loud! Barking, screeching, yelping and...
A Pre-Holiday Warning – Say No to Rawhide!
While out shopping yesterday I thought I would pick up some of those dog toy gift packs so that I had a large select of toys for our Chihuahuas to open up on Christmas morning. I noticed that the majority of the packs had cheaply made toys mixed with a couple of high...
Last Minute Find
I have been running around playing catch up from the past couple weeks of National's prep and headed out to pick up some last minute Christmas gifts. My never-fail goto has always been Burlington Coat Factory. Not only can I find anything and everything for my human...
Furnace Love
Our first official furnace running of the winter and the puppies have fallen in love. The temps dipped down into the 50's last night and we woke to a chilled house. While we waited for the sun to try to heat things up, we gave in to the need to defrost the frozen...
This Says It All!
After three full days at the Orange County Convention Center, this picture of KC says how many of us are feeling today. All of the excitement of the weekend was worth the for feet, lack of sleep and aching backs of us humans. The dogs were real champs and have earned...
Oh My Gosh – Oh My Golly…
WE GOT THIRD PLACE!!!! Our booth did that is. ShowSight Magazine sponsors the Meet The Breed Booth Competition where booths are divided by group (Toy Breed Group in our case) and then judges on creativity, originality, educational value and visual appeal. After last...
Meet The Breed 2013
I must thank everyone that volunteered their Saturday to help with the booth and of course, those that stopped by to meet our Chihuahuas - TODAY TOTALLY ROCKED! Our booth was a huge hit and constant stream of visitors proved how much of a fan fav we were. From 10:15...
First Regional Specialty Was A Huge Success!
With 122 entries and six Juniors exhibiting, I am proud to announce that the CCA's first Regional Speciality was a MAJOR success! We arrived around 9:00 am this morning and we finished up close to 5:00 pm. The day may have been long but it was worth every moment!...
Let The Games Begin!
The weekend that we have been anticipating since last year is finally here! It's Eukanuba Week and the Meet The Breeds Weekend Extravaganza is upon us! After last year, we decided that we were going to kick it up several notches and really make a splash with our...
Flirtini – In All Her Glory
When Lynda contacted me about our litter and shared her instant love of Flirtini, it was easy to see that my decision was made - Flirtini was going home with Lynda and Craig! Of the three girls we planned on holding onto to further evaluate, she was on the fence from...
2nd Set Done!
The girls got their second set of vaccines and health check today and all passed with flying colors. Like there was ever a doubt, right? Spike came along for his final set so that he can partake in the weekend's activities and he was also a real trooper. He only let...
Tales of Tug-O-War
Spike is always the instigator and the puppies cannot wait for their daily game of Tug-O-War. He usually finds a dog toy - or dirty sock or towel in the laundry room - and then runs around the living room with it, riling the pups up for the game. From the moment they...
Mommy Love
Diva, Flirtini and Bella are the main focus of their mommy, Barbie's attention. I have noticed with every litter, momma pays a lot of attention to the most rambunctious pup. That puppy is usually the unruly one that needs more life lessons taught. Well, with this...
It’s Sticktight Season!
Every Chihuahua in our house comes in from outside in the backyard with the season's latest fashion accessory - STICKTIGHTS! What a major pain in the buttocks! These things are such a tedious pain to pick off and then of course, comes the random piles on the kitchen...
Bleu Stole His Heart
And how could he not? When Kelly contacted me looking for a puppy for her parents, I knew Bleu would be the perfect lap buddy for Bain. The whole family came to see if my guess what correct and with the nod of Connie's head after they got here, it was confirmed. Bleu...
Always At My Feet
With 10 week old pups in the house, I can tell you that you must watch where you walk and be aware of what's around you because chances are, there will be a puppy or two at your feet. Today while they were out playing, they used me as "base" while they ran, wrestled,...
By Popular Demand
After the artwork trophy pieces that I created for our 2013 TBCC Specialties received such rave reviews, I volunteered to make some more, this time for the CCA's first ever Regional Speciality being held in conjunction with the Eukanuba Nationals here in Orlando next...
