Tino claims her but that’s about it. This is a new one for me and for Tino – He was a very active stud the last time. I am beginning to wonder if we might have missed it? Only time will tell right? Like 62ish days from now.

Just like her daddy Georgie but triple the human love and excitement for life. She will play with her canine friends with complete and utter joy and then entertain herself with the same zest for life for hours. Especially when she finds a stick!

She will go out in to the yard, search for her stick for the day and then carry it with her everywhere! After playing with it outside, she will bring it back into the house and play with it there, usually leaving pieces of bark in her wake. Eventually what’s left of it will end up in the back of one of the crates and I will have to dig it out and throw it away. Then, you guessed it! We start all over again the next day!

Stephanie and I discussed the idea of breeding her female Mackenzie with Tiny, hopping for a lot of dark, rich black pigmented puppies. She has had a hard time getting her pregnant and we are hoping he takes after his grandfather Teddy in the STUD department Teddy could sniff out a fertile female a mile away – He is loving her so far. I think the love is mutual to be honest. She’s being a little hussy!!!

Keep your fingers crossed everyone!!!

The post They Are Finally Here first appeared on Figgy's Chihuahuas AKC Show Breeder/Handler in Florida.]]> What an adventure this day has been! I will be honest – I really thought we were having puppies YESTERDAY!!! Ok, Ok, wishful thinking because yesterday was my birthday. How cool would that have been to share my actual birthday with a litter of puppies, right? I spent my birthday watching the proverbial pot boil so yeah, I was disappointed.

But when we woke this morning to Milly panting up a storm so I knew they were coming today! To the whelping box we went AGAIN and Milly panted and paced and dug and then…. she whined.

She NEVER whines! Ever! She’s a silent whelper!!! And this was not her first time. We were waiting over 4 hours and still no puppy – Totally unlike her. I knew we had a problem! Off to Dr. Rodgers in Lakeland we were headed!!!!

The drive was rather uneventful – My co-pilot was a real trooper. Keeping herself calm and staying focused the the task at hand. I swear she knew I was on a mission helper – I could see it in her eyes!

Dr. Rodgers was amazing, AS ALWAYS and got her right into surgery. We had 6 puppies in there but the boy that was stuck didn’t make it. He was positioned across the birth canal, blocking the way for all of the others, hence…. no progress on the whelping and lots of whining!!!

We had five happy and healthy puppies in shades of black to blue. Two girls and three boys. Milly took right to them, even while coming to from her anesthesia! Man oh man is she an amazing mother!!! And we have ourselves a stunning litter of puppies!

As we drove home and I got them all settled I thought long and hard about this whole whelp watch. Two fulls days waiting for their dramatic arrival -Same way I come into the world! An entire week early for me though! So with that said, these puppies were being named after birthday cocktails! Decision made!!!

I seriously woke up feeling like complete crap! I didn’t even have enough energy to put on makeup, early combing my hair. I figured the last day would follow suit to the pattern of yesterday – No love for Tipsy and a second/Reserve combo for Duper. I predicted correctly – and then off to the car with the I ran to bundle up and watch dogs while Darius showed the rest of his dogs. I was miserable!

Even with Tasha keeping my feet warm! She was in a bit of a panic watching and waiting for her favorite human but she managed to keep it somewhat together!

Bonus of the day – Outside of getting to nap on the drive home – Seeing I made it into the Canine Chronicle for the Meet the Breed booth in December! So honored!!!!
