My nights are all theirs but since yesterday afternoon, Teddy has spent a lot of time at my feet under my desk. He is going back to his mommy today – there he gets undivided attention.

On a side note, I love the adorable grooming cut that he is sporting. I swear looks like a a little long legged Pomeranian!

A few others I thought you might like to see is KC’s litter mates, Kiki and Kahula. Both are doing FABULOUS and are beyond loved with their new forever families. Of course, we also have a photo of Huggie to share. He is the king of his castle with Kiki being the queen – adorable as ever and loved unconditionally.

Another exciting update is that of Chanel who is Bubble’s sister. She didn’t get that much bigger after she let but she surly got her beautiful adult coat to come in – STUNNING!!!!

In addition to his natural ability to just show himself in the dog show ring, he is the most social Chihuahua I have ever met without being overbearing (you all have met one of THOSE Chihuahuas!) He is also a very loyal dog, loving his “person” with all of his heart and soul. He loves to cuddle up simply BE with that person and is at his happiest when he knows he is loved. So when I heard about Erica, I knew we found his, as well as HER, forever favorite friend.

She was scared emotionally by a larger breed dog that turned. She so loves dogs but he fears and anxiety were keeping her from trying to bring a nosher dog into her home. When her mother heard about us looking for a new forever home for Teddy and of course, his tiny size and amazing traits, a surprise trial period was set up. Well I am here to tell you that the tears if her eyes and the almost instant attachment that Ted showed toward her told me there was no trial needed. It was amazing to watch. He never even looked back when they left. He Never Looked Back! He knew – She knew – I AM SO HAPPY!!!

Father and Son did superbly with the surgery, handling the removal of their manhood with ease. Teddy was right back to his happy-go-lucky self around 30 minutes after his procedure while Stoli was a bit more knocked out for quite a bit longer than his good ol’ dad. He has reach the 7month mark and with all of the female hormones around here we want to make sure he doesn’t start lifting when he goes to his new forever home.

Tipsy came along for the adventure as well. Yes, we are still working on the whole socialization thing but she also needed her Rabies vaccine so she kept me and doc’s crew of Chihuahuas company while we waited for the boys to come out of recovery. She wants too keen on the whole “other dogs in the room” thing so she begged to get up most of the time. Go figure!

It all started with Teddy and his dental cleaning. His two remaining bottom teeth – his two canines – Had To Go! They were loose and had to be pulled. Unfortunately his jaw was already compromised. The loss of bone from periodontal decease along with old age made his bottom jaw very loose and the odds of his jaw breaking during the procedure was extremely high. A choice had to be made and I went with the decision to pull. Yes, the jaw bike. But Doc is the man! He wired it closed and now there is no wiggling at all! A diet of soupy, moist food and a few days of pain meds are in this guy’s future. We all feel so bad about the pain the Tedstier is going to feel once these meds wear off but in the long run, he will be MUCH better off for it. Those teeth were bad and I am sure eating was a very painful experience. That pain will be gone! And he will be so much happier in the long run!

Then came Smoochie. She may have come in for a poke but she left with a pull – two pulls to be exact. She had two retained upper canines and now was the time to pull them, to give room for her adult teeth to come in without issue. With Chihuahuas, cleaning their teeth is a must. Their mouths are so small that food and other particles get trapped between the teeth and then the problems grow. Brushing them daily is ideal and keeping them on dry food is the best. Removing retained puppy teeth is the only choice to prevent any possible issues in the future. Good heath is what we all want right? That is less offensive doggy kisses.
