Monica

Monica is doing very well at her new home. She is being spoiled rotten by her new owners, their children and their grand children. She gets to go to parks, swimming pools and has play dates. They walk her every day, play with her and give her nap times.

It is so nice to know that one of your babies has gone to a good home and is loved.

Monica

Today we drove to the airport. Today was the day Monie would meet her new Dad. She had all her bits and bobs. She was ready. I was not. It was bitter sweet for me. I am so happy she has a wonderful home, but a little sad because I got so attached to her.

Monica

So Monica is keeping me up at night. She wakes up and wants attention. I stick my hand in the carrier and stroke her until she settles down. Sometimes she uses my fingers as a chew toy. this morning when I woke up she just lay there. I thought that was odd. She did soil the pee pad in the carrier and got it all over herself. I picked her up and she was so lethargic- Itook her to her food. Stood her next to it to eat and she could hardly stand up. Now I was really worried. She did eat and drink though. she actually ate a lot. We had no Karo syrup so I gave her some honey. I phoned Jen (chi breeder) and sought advice.

Monica has hypoglycemia. Something tiny chis get when they use up all their energy and don't get enough food in them. Just a drop in their sugar levels. What to do... give her karo syrup, keep her warm and keep an eye on her. Also, I am going to make sure she gets food during the night. I didn't think on that one. Never had a pup this small away from it's mum before.

Funny thing is I told her new owner to make sure she had food during the night... duh!

I also had to give her a bath.... she was very stinky!!!!

Monica

We have been traveling to see Tennessee to visit family for a couple of days. Driving with an overnight stop in Georgia. Monica has done very well. Sleeping in her bag and on laps. Some of the time she was very frisky. But no pee or poop. Hmm? Well, when we got to La Quinta Inn and Suites (love this place- very compfy beds!!!) I realized why not. She had done it on the pee pad in her bag. That's ok.

I didn't sleep well on the very comfortable bed though. Monica was in the bed in her bag. She whined most of the night and kept me up. So I am very tired.

She did poop on Mattie today. I thought it was funny and laughed. Dad said he knew she would do that when I handed her over to Mattie. So now they don't trust me anymore and won't take Monica. Oh well. More cuddles for me.

I arrived at the house and found a parcel. Her new owners bought her a collar with her name in diamonds and the cutest dress.... I think she is going to be spoiled rotten.

Packing and life without Mia

Well, Monica is sticking to Chica like glue. I guess they both miss Mia. Chica is over protective of her and they both growl at the other dogs when they are displeased. Quite the funny sight. They have their little spot in the kitchen and they spend most of their time there.

I hate packing. I need to pack for the dogs who are going to Ana's. Pepe Le Pew needs his food, and his albon and his this and his that. Then I need to get the supplies ready for the cats who are staying behind. Happily our kids packed their bags and I checked them. My packing to do still and packing for Monica.

Yes, Monica is coming with me. And she has a lot of luggage. It is time for her to start her travels to her new home. She has food, treats, paper work, bedding, a night time crate, a bag for the car (and restaurants) etc. I hope I don't forget anything.

Jobs and dogs

So I have finally found a name I think is cute enough for our new boy... have you ever seen the cartoon with the cute little skunk who falls in love with a cat.... Pepe Le Pew.

Today was so busy... and it isn't even over yet. This morning Jesse came over and we went to the vet. The puppies got their shots etc. They weighed in at 1.4 lbs at 8 weeks. Snickie was left there for her tooth extraction. We came home gave Mia her first bath and cut her nails. Gave Pepe and Chica baths.... ate lunch. Went to Jesse's house to help her meet Nacho (her chi). Cut his nails. Went to Albertsons and the post office. Soon we are going to a Dr. apt then we will pick up Snickie.

Did I leave anything out??? I am so confused.

puppies

Jetta and Monica are 6 weeks old now. Only 2 weeks before they start leaving the nest. They are so cute. They hop around like excited bunnies. That is the only way I can explain it, and they are so happy to see me in the morning. Their play sessions are getting longer and longer; and they are eating puppy food. I can't believe they will be gone soon.

I am tired, I stayed up thinking of a good dog name for the new one coming in. Just can't think of one. Maybe, I'll have to wait and see what he is like in person.

puppy bags

I purchased a cute yet practical soft sided bag for Monica to travel in when she goes home. Her new Dad would like her to get used to it before the time comes. So at 5 1/2 weeks I put her in with her sister. They are so cute, all nestled up together. I think she will be very happy in her new digs before her aeroplane ride.

I have put Jetta up for sale on puppyfind.com. I found some cute pics of her and her parents. she is such a cute dog and so small. I hope to find her a wonderful family.

Aeroplanes and chihuahuas

My 5 week chihuahua has been sold and I needed to work out the flight details. Oh what fun. Well, the man I was speaking with was rude and not patient at all. All I wanted was to make sure Monica would be on the return flight with her new owner. Well, after an hour of my time and plopping down the credit card, I did get conformation that she is on the flight. I just wonder why he had to make it so difficult.

Jetta, my other cute chi for sale, is still looking for a home. I sort of want to keep her myself. I think that is the trouble of breeding chihuahuas. You want to keep them all.
