When we packed up this morning to head out to Lakeland this morning, I swear there was frost on the car! IT WAS COLD!!! Add the wind and it turned brutal. OUCH! Today started the Sara-Bay shows and with a 9 am ring time, the sun hadn't had enough time to warm anything...
Changing Things Up
Huggie, Eddie and packed up bright and early and headed back to Lakeland this morning and I had a goal in mind for the remainder of this weekend. For Eddie, it's to keep that tail up and to help him be a bit more relaxed and for Huggie, keeping his head up and a bit...

The Watch Dogs
K-Cey and Rudy are still here with us and due to their older age, we pen them for portions of the day to keep them from all of the rambunctious roughhousing that has the tendency to go on around here. They are rather comfortable in their private quarters and have come...
Her Name Is Hope
With so many well wishes and prayers being set our way, I am beyond humbled at the outpouring of love for Suri and her sweet baby girl. We are defying the odds with this puppy and I know I have signed up for a very tiring and trying couple of months keeping her...
Nothing Left To Cross
With toes and fingers crossed for hours, our worst outcome has come to life. Not only did we not see any progress after two hours but we went up to four, allowing her "first time" time to push the puppy down. Suri was such a trooper and never once went into distress....
Gonna Be An Interesting Week

Grandpa K-Cey
Teddy's daddy, K-Cey and his uncle Rudy are here staying with us for a while and all I can say is that I see first hand why Teddy is such an amazing boy! Yes, he does have his daddy's bark (VERY unique!) but he also has he adorably quirky, post-pee back leg kick, his...
On Whelp Patrol
Today is Suri's 58th day of her pregnancy and so now we wait for her puppies to arrive. Any time now, she can start the process but until then, we have some plans set to help make their entrance into the world a bit easier. She is not that big but she has something in...

We Did It!
My journey into the show ring has finally resulted in the gaining of a point! And can I tell you - the fact that I was surrounded by friends and fellow club members made the monumental occasion so much more special to me! Today kicked off the two-day Greater Daytona...
What’s In A Name?
Figgy's Cocktail Chihuahuas - how'd we come up with that name you ask? Several things actually...Newton is a rather common name - but Figgy is a fun nickname that we all often hear. It's cute and it stuck. Then comes Cocktail. That is a two-part explanation....We...
