It’s That Time Again

Oct 6, 2013 | KC, Spike

With all of the questions that we have about KC’s latest behaviors, one that is always added to the mix is, “Is she going into heat?” and my response has been a vehement NO! She was just in heat at the end of May and that was rather early as well....

Hope Is All Grown Up

Oct 5, 2013 | New Forever Families

I get many requests for updates on our sweet baby Hope – the cleft lip puppy that stole everyone’s hearts. Well I am so excited to share that she is doing FABULOUS! Her birth defect hasn’t stopped her a bit and she is one spoiled princess. She has...

She Did So Good!

Oct 4, 2013 | Barbie, Medical, New Puppies

At only 10 days old, and it happening to be a Friday at that, I was concerned when I saw some rather soft stools coming from one of the puppies along with some slight dehydration. They are all too young to have contracted anything so I assumed it was a dietary thing...

Another Day Spent In Lady Lake

Oct 2, 2013 | Envi Chihuahuas, Eve, KC, Kiki, Medical, Spike

With Spike reaching the 8 week mark, it was time to get his first set of vaccines! With the trip being a long one, I brought KC and Kiki along for some checkups – I wanted to get to the bottom of Kiki’s allergies and have KC’s patellas and hips...

We Got Some Whiners

Oct 1, 2013 | New Puppies, Spike

At one week old, these puppies are already starting to show their temperaments and we have a few LOUD puppies in the whelping box. It’s not because they’re hungry that is for sure! Their bellies are full and their weights have almost doubled since they...

Spikeroo

Sep 30, 2013 | New Puppies, Spike

Spike is 8 weeks old today and is officially a big boy! A 2 pound, on the dot, big boy! Not too surprising since he is a singleton and with all of the running around that he does, I am guessing he will slow down in the weight department over the next month. With 8...

A Day At The Show

Sep 28, 2013 | Barlo's Chihuahuas, Dog Shows, Huggie, KC

With Barbie’s actual due date being tomorrow, we didn’t enter the dog shows being held up in Ocala this weekend (nor the shows next weekend either). But since her sweet babies arrived nice and early, my daughter and I packed up and headed up to Horse...

Here They Are!

Sep 26, 2013 | New Puppies

If I can quote a friend, with the trauma of birth and dewclaw removal behind them, (Lana, you are such a hoot!) Barbie’s puppies are doing great, putting on weight and ready for their first official photo session. Of course, it is the first day of sunshine since...

Workin’ The L

Sep 25, 2013 | Training

After a very successful weekend and tons of compliments and kudos from many, including Mary-Ann, it was decided to work on more of the Master Junior moves. This is because with appearances in the Best Junior Handler competition, these advanced patterns will most...

They Came Bearing Gifts

Sep 25, 2013 | Medical, New Puppies

Shelly is auntie to all puppies born here and the moment she heard of the latest’s arrival she backed up her bags and came to visit and play. She and Tami loved all over each of them, including Spike. They were his first official visitor too! We had a wonderful...
