Enjoying Life's Moments Responsibly
Queen On Her Throne
So as I have mentioned in the past, Breezy has claimed the round chair in our living room as her own and apparently she has done so by hiding all of her treasures and finds in the crevasse and under the pillows. Dog toys, paper towel rolls, deer antler chews and even...
With Pup
Clearly the breeding to Georgie took because Milly has doubled in size over the last week! And yes, that means the bets have been placed. I think there are two very large puppies in there! That's my kinda luck! Hubby thinks that there are four or five in there. All I...
Anything For Food
Today we did a bit of bait training in the backyard. I have found that the RedBarn Beef Roll does WONDERS in keeping their attention and making them want more. Here I was using it as a topper put on weight! I didn't realize I had such a Goldmine! Georgie and TIno did...
It Was All So Weird
Driving down to Tampa with No dog in the car and walking around the fairgrounds today was extremely surreal. Granted, I got to enjoy the afternoon with my wonderful husband, but I haven't been to a dog show without a dog in over 10 years! My heart hurts knowing that I...
Visitors
We have a couple of Havanese staying with us this weekend - Gotta love Hotel Figgy - And they have truly made themselves at home. I have traveled to shows with Brittany and Zanny so they already know me but our home, family and other dogs? Honestly, it didn't take...
She’s Been My Project
I have taken it upon myself to make Style my little project while she stays here. Socializing her to different sights, sounds, smells, people, places and well, everything! I must admit I feel I have been successful. Her confidence has grown leaps and bounds but she...
So Good To Me
So I went out on the town last night and for the first time in forever, I wasn't wearing my Converse All- Stars or flip flops - I wore my big girls shoes! Heeled boots with open toes. And it wasn't one of those "in and out of the restaurant" nights. We hit bars and...
Breezy You Crack Me Up!
We have a special bed just for Breezy - Large enough for her to sleep in along with a couple of her Chihuahua friends! Yes! It's that big! She is often times sprawled out on it or on the round chair in our living room. Apparently she has decided that the small...
Quarantine
When news of the canine flu outbreak hit two days after we were at the dog shows in Deland, the word on the street was a 2-4 day incubation period. We watched all of our dogs that attended the shows for any signs of hacking or running noses. Nope - We really thought...
WOW! I Got To Pick!
So today the boys were on FIRE! I realize that this is a small, local show, but when the dogs walked into the ring wanting it and they get it, who can't be proud of that??? Both Georgie and TIno walked in wanting to win and the judges awarded them for it. Granted,...
The Boys Are Back In Town
I have been working pretty hard on beefing up Georgie to get him back into the ring to start working towards his Grand Champion title. He already as eight of his points, included a major and a win over another champions! Keeping weight on him is almost impossible. I...
It’s A Big World Out There
This little dog has made me so unbelievably proud! First, he is the result of many years of trial and error, trying to blend old lines with new lines and create my OWN line. Tino has a temperament that screams confidence when he struts around that ring and...
Door Stops
So with both Miilly and KC being in heat right now, Style and Stella have opted to stay with the fertil-myrtle's in the living room, instead of with the horney boys in the kitchen. I suppose I don't blame them! Oddly enough, they have become more needly and attention...
Running of the Chihuahuas
With no Chihuahua de Mayo this year being held in Daytona Beach, what is a Chihuahua loving family supposed to do for Cinco de Mayo? Attend the Running of the Chihuahuas event in Downtown Winter Park, that's what! Apparently Cocina 214 - an amazing Tex-Mex restaurant...
She’s At It Again
When you are the same color as the furniture you lay on, you get lost. Blue crawls under the blankets on our couch and sleeps the day away. She's a burrower, big time! And she gets sat on more than any other dog in our home. We advise anyone about to sit on our couch...
Oooohhh Breezy!!!
So our sweet Breezy didn't get fed until 2 pm so you know what happened right? The most expensive chewed item to-date! My car remote key-fob thingamajig! I was like.... OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Amazon was my first search - then simply the entire internet! For under...
The Line Up
You know your dogs are smart right? Like freaky smart? They can learn your schedule in a matter of days - sometimes HOURS and once they know it they live it! For me, it's feeding time. All of our dogs eat different combinations of the food we have. Some have extra...
It’s Perfect!
Our sweet Olive has become rather overwhelmed in our home with so much activity. She has become quirky the older that she gets and finding her a quiet home with only one other dog to share a lap with is harder than you might think. It also had to be a home of a family...
Breezy the Chihuahua
Breezy is the only Whippet in a house filled with Chihuahuas. She has picked up on some Chi habits - some not so great and others that are down-right adorable! First, she joins in the Chihuahua howls when a new person walks into the house or room. She's found her...
Gonna Be Awesome
Rest up my sweet hopefully mommy-to-be! I am very excited about Milly coming into heat because I plan to breed her to Georgie and hope to have us a wonderful litter to show in January next year! If all of the stars and genes align these two should produce some stellar...
