Jun 20, 2017 | Breeze the Whippet
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...
Jun 19, 2017 | Breeding Chihuahuas, Breedings, George, Milly
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....
Jun 18, 2017 | Blue, Chihuahua Habits, Stella, Training
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...
Jun 17, 2017 | Dog Shows, Tampa Bay Chihuahua Club
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...
Jun 15, 2017 | Other Dogs
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...
Jun 13, 2017 | Other Dogs, Temperament
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...
Jun 11, 2017 | Chihuahua Habits, Olive, Stella, Temperament
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...
Jun 6, 2017 | Breeze the Whippet, Other Dogs
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...
May 31, 2017 | Dog Shows, Medical, Stella, Tino
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...
May 21, 2017 | Dog Shows, George, Owner-Handler, Showing Chihuahuas, Stella, Tino
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....
