May 6, 2016 | Our Chihuahuas
So I got new costumes for this year’s Chihuahua de Mayo. I gave a sneak peek of KC’s costume but here are the boy’s and Olive’s. I had to do fittings today (yes, I waited until the last minute like I always seem to do) and all four of our...
May 3, 2016 | Boomer the Pug, Supplies and Finds

Apr 28, 2016 | Breeding Chihuahuas, Milly
