Shape of an anxious blob! Did I just give away my age there? Anyways, I could take a photo a day of these two. They are always with each other, whether that be to nap or play or eat, they are side by side. Sometime they are even laying on top of each other! And when...
Dec 19, 2014 | Bella, Grooming, Ozzie
With the holiday season kicked into gear getting the dogs into the groomers was bypassed by Alexis giving rooming lesson so that Ozzie and Bubbles could be at their sparkling best when Santa arrives. When we received the request for the lessons, she packed up all of...
Dec 17, 2014 | Barbie, Breeding Chihuahuas, Breedings
I know that I do! Barbie is growing bigger and bigger each day and as we close in on her due date, I can’t help but wonder just how many she has in there. We have all guess between four and five because she seems to be carrying the load like she has in the past....
Dec 16, 2014 | Feeding & Dog Food
So the Pet Supplies Plus by my house that I have been getting my dog food from is changing hands, causing a delay in shipments. As happy as I am to have a place to get my Merrick food that is so close, I am not happy about my naive dependency. You see, I ran out the...
Dec 15, 2014 | Boomer the Pug, Dog Shows
Boomer and Marg are still recuperating from their four straight days of showing extravaganza! But do you blame them? I know I am still pooped so I can only image how tired they are! Their being tired aside, I thought I should also note just how bonded they are as well...

This year’s booth rocked in SO many ways that I don’t even know where to begin! First, Barbara did an amazing job not the booth decor and blew everyone away before the event even began. We brought the backdrop and decorations up to the Convention Center on...
Dec 12, 2014 | Boomer the Pug, Dog Shows
Outside of the the little incident yesterday, I have to say that the Pug community has been so warm and welcoming, a feeling very apparent this afternoon as we attended our first Specialty. Their show was delayed almost an entire hour and with my need to be at the...
Dec 12, 2014 | Dog Shows, Junior Showmanship, Showing Chihuahuas, Temperament, Tips
Breanna and her mom Jen came to join in the fun of the Specialities today after they too spent the last three days at the Juniors Rings at the Orlando Cluster. I was so tickled when Breanna mentioned a desire to try her hand with a Chihuahua in the breed ring. I...
Dec 12, 2014 | Chihuahua Club of America, Dog Shows, Junior Showmanship, KC, Showing Chihuahuas
After three straight days of dog shows – and showing Pugs at that – This morning’s Chihuahua specialty was left without the proper preparation or attention. WE ARE TIRED! With that being said the focus just isn’t where it should be. Then of...
Dec 11, 2014 | Boomer the Pug, Dog Shows
Never would I have thought that with an 8 am ring time this morning that we would have to RUN to get to our 1:30 Pug ring time. Crazy right? The run to the ring after a very, VERY long morning warranted a deep breath wishful thinking for a big huge cup of coffee. No...
