My new pooch Rocky is a little guy and he gets cold very easily.  When I brought him home I had to keep him snuggled in blankets.... An important item to always have on hand for dogs is a blanket or two.  And there are some soft ones over at Bloomingtails!  Blankets are great for in a dog's cage or crate so they don't have to sit or stand on the cold bottom.  It's also great for on your furniture so that if he licks his paws it won't affect your fabric, and instead just the blanket.  Invest in some dog blankets today so you are always prepared!

Meet Rocky...My Newest Chihuahua Addition!

This weekend I was blessed with an addition to my Chihuahua Clan!  My mom called me on Saturday because she happened upon a little chihuahua running through her neighborhood.  She told me he was really nice but she didn't want to keep him inside until they find his owner because my mom and dad have another Chihuahua and they didn't know if he would mind. So ofcourse I said yes to taking him at my house. 

Instantly I fell in love, he was so sweet and so well behaved.  I began searching for his owners, but come Sunday morning still came up with nothing.

Through word of mouth in my parents' neigborhood the owners were discovered and my mom paid them a visit. It was an elderly couple from Kansas, staying with their son and daughter in law, and they have 4 dogs total.  It turns out they had been planning to rehome some of the dogs because it was beginning to be too much for them. My mom showed them a picture of me and my current pups and the man said "I believe in signs, and I believe this is a sign that he wandered into the arms of a Chihuahua lover!".   They told my mom I could keep him, they told me his name, Rocky, and they told me when they get back to Kansas they will send his papers, etc. to me. 

Rocky is fitting in just fine, he loves his house, siblings, and his life in general.  It's very obvious by how happy he is all the time.  As an 8 year old Chihuahua, he's very mature and calm, which I am thankful for.  I plan to write more about him and my other Chihuahuas as I go along!

Puffer Coats - How to Pick the Right One for YOU

Yes, even puffer coats should be chosen carefully. Sure, you just want something that keeps you warm, but it's extremely important to choose one that looks great and works with your body type.

Got a Tummy?
Well, you should look for a shaped cut that gives the illusion of an hourglass figure.  Anything that is slimming with little diagnol lines or designs is great but DO NOT get one with a belt or a short length one.

Large Bust?
Get a roomier coat but make sure it is narrow near your waistline.

Small?
A small coat is fine, with a bomber styler or a cropped length. Just avoid anything with broad shoulders!


Of course, you can always do your own thing just as long as you are happy but I figured this brief outline would help lead you in the right direction.
