Figgy's chihuahuas

I went to figgys chihuahuas today and had a wonderful time. Couldn't bring my doggies cause hers are all in heat. What a mess that would have been..... But I did bring back some cute garments for them to wear.

And they look adorable... Pepe has a belly band and my girls have lovely little vests. They even have a hook on them to attach your leash..... how cool is that???? Anyways, she sells them on her site and they come in all sizes and colours so check them out at www. figgyschihuahuas.com!

So as soon as I got home we had a little fashion show. My girls enjoyed dressing the doggies up. I won't tell you how the doggies felt about it.....

Chica the Chipmunk....

Poor Chica had her annual vet visit today. She got her rabies and other necessary shots. The vet looked her over and everything seemed great.

We got her home and about an hour and a half later KABOOM. Both cheeks were swollen. Mattie was the one who first noticed it. Chica was scratching and scratching.

I phoned the vet and gave her a 1/4 adult benedryl as directed. An hour passed, then two... so I took her in. You can imagine how happy she felt as we got out of the car!!!

No fever luckily and he gave her a shot of "Dex"? If at 10pm she is still swollen I need to give her more benedryl. I am hoping she will be better by then.

Sleepy heads

As I am scurrying around cleaning the house the doggies are enjoying their beds. It really is a dog's life around here.

For those of you who want multiple dogs... it is a lot of work. Cleaning up accidents, giving them fresh water and food during the day, exercising them, moping their room, poop pick up in the yard..... the jobs are never ending. On the up side you have little ones who adore you and want nothing more then cuddling on your lap

Pepe is doing really well on his leash. We have been walking around the block and every one is nice and tired at the end of it. This also helps relieve boredom which is always a good thing!!

Chica and Mia

We went for a walk in the rain this evening, all the way to Mia's house. Mattie held Chica and Snickie for me as I was holding the carrier and an umbrella. Pepe stayed home, out of the rain. We all got to Mia's house and Nacho came to the door to great us.

As soon as Chica saw Mia she went into Mother mode. She was barking and growling at Nacho and Snickie. She played with Mia and protected her. It was very interesting to behold.

And after we left, Chica was friendly again with Snickie. It was amazing. She turned from psycho Mama to friendly pal.

Petsmart and Pet place

So I went to Petsmart again armed with coupons and they did allow me to use one for the exercise pen. Yeah!! Those babies are expensive.

I have figured out an area for the doggies so they get more space but are contained in the back room. There are times when I don't want them running a muck through the whole house... My girls took every dog bed they could find and planted them in that area. It looks like "doggie Kingdom".

I think the area looks really nice but it still has a problem. The doggie door.. or should I say the cat door because the cats use it to go outside. Yes, they do not have a litter box. And I like it that way. So the cats must go through the area to get through the cat door. The cats do not appreciate being chased or licked by the dogs and they probably can't be bothered to jump over the fence!!

Right now I am letting them out the front door. At night I am kenneling the dogs and opening up the area so the cats go use the door....

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.

Petsmart

We went to Petsmart today looking for an exercise pen. Of course they are the most expensive and I'll have to buy online. Though I will give them a chance to go with the price I found online.

I did find a cat bed for $5 though. It is black and Chica can go inside of it. Even Mia came over and played with the new cat bed. It has two toys attached. Chica and Pepe are fighting over them. very cute.

Pepe Le Pew seems to like his new collar even though it is huge on him. Oh well. I did buy the smallest size and made some extra holes.
