I’ve found the perfect way to count down the time until we get our new Chi pup. It’s found at Ticker Factory.com. Here’s the one I’ve designed, but you can feel free to design your own. Have lots of fun.

Oooo! I’m so excited. Do you remember Tia our female brindle Chihuahua? Ok well she was a total sweetie, but she had a lot of issues and we couldn’t keep her as she would snap at my daycare kiddos and growl at everyone who came in. So Laury of Laud Dogs took Tia in and in return she agreed to give us one of Tia’s pups. Well, Tia has been bred and is due on July 1st. I’m so pumped. The male’s name is Angus and he is a stunning little black apple head Chihuahua. I was really hoping Tia would be able to throw a fawn pup for us, but we’ll see. Angus’s father was a beautiful light color and I believe one of Tia’s parents is a fawn color. Here’s hoping…

I’m going over to Laury’s tomorrow to sign the final transfer of ownership papers for Tia. Of cours I’ll visit Tia as well and let you know howshe’s doing.

UPDATE

Well, Laury was super busy, so I didn’t even ask to see Tia, but I know she’s happy and being well taken care of and that’s all that really matters.

Ok, I’m totally confused.  The grass was turning green and flowers were starting to open, and then snow?  Yeah, it snowed.  We had a snow storm in April - almost May!  Im not an impressed pooch.  I love playing outside.  What a tease.  Now it’s too cold for me again.  Grrrr and Brrrr

I’ve put 2 wonderful men to work for me. The first is my dad. I asked him to build me a bed for Chica. He was pretty excited and got right to work. The bed will look something like this picture. I chose this design for Chica because it has a “nest”, and Chihuahuas are notorious nesters as they prefer to be curled up in a warm place. I think Chica will love it. My plan is to put it in our living room, because if we had it in our bedroom, she wouldn’t use it. She prefers cuddling up with my husband and I over anything.

Dave is my friend Crystal’s husband. One of his favorite passtimes is carpentry. He seems to absolutely love it, so when I asked him to make me a bit of a complicated project, he was all in. When I saw this thing, I had to have it. I just thought it would be a one day in the far off future thing, but as pumped as Dave was to get started, it’ll be done in no time. I’m so excited! It’s an end table/crate for Chica. If we have people over with kids who are afraid of dogs, in she goes. It’s great. It gives her her own space and still looks great in any room.

I just learned today that Cott Corp. - the makers of RC Cola have come out with a new line of beverages,,,for our K9 companions called Fordifido. First of all, how witty is that product name? The drink is similar to the enhanced juices and drinks available for people. The Wall Street Journal reports that this is a sign that even lesser-known companies are trying to grab a share of the estimated $43.4 billion-a-year pet industry. In 2007, it’s estimated that Americans spent $41.2 billion, with $16.9 billion on food alone. Fortifido comes in 4 packs of either 1 liters or 2 liters.

There are 4 delicious flavors. The first is a peanut butter flavored drink enriched with calcium for strong teeth and bones. The second is a parsley flavor with zinc for healthy skin. The company is also promoting a fresh-breath drink with spearmint. The fourth flavor is lemon grass and is enriched with amino acids and minerals for healthy joints

  Mom just received her latest shipment of dog clothes. It’s pretty exciting,  cause whenever she orders, she gets stuff for me too. This time she got me a little white T-shirt with pink stripes and a little pocket with a paw print on it. I love it and it looks pretty cute on me. Whatever, most people say I’m cute, regardless.

Spring finally seems to be here.  I can run around on the grass now!  True the grass is still pretty brown and there’s mud and snow to avoid still, but THE GRASS IS HERE!  I’ve missed going for walks and playing outside with my human pack.  Mom takes me out a lot during the winter, but I don’t get to run around because of the super cold snow.  In the winter I only get to go for car rides to the mall and stuff.  Now finally I can run and play and have lots and lots of fun.

April has arrived, and with it another GREAT sale here at Pup Apparel. All this month, buy 1 item and get the second item of equal or lesser value FREE! But act quickly as this sale ends when the month does.

There is no such thing as a teacup, miniature or micro  Chihuahua.  The Chihuahua is classified as a toy breed, but other than coat length and color, that’s where the description should end.  A Chihuahua is a Chihuahua IS A CHIHUAHUA!  So if someone is advertising teacup Chihuahua puppies, stay away, because they are only interested in making a quick buck and not improving the breed itself.  If a breeder doesn’t even know the correct name of the dog they are breeding, they shouldn’t be in the business of breeding at all.
