No heart for blogging anymore...

Yes, I haven't blogged in a long time...  Have to say, I have not had the heart or motivation...  First, Taja & India had to be re-homed because it was to hard to maintain them any longer.  Well, I am afraid that because of the turn in the economy (and I do not mean for the good!) I have had to re-home Daisy, Chico and Boogie.  It nearly shattered my heart to pieces...

I still have Nini, Baby Girl and Manchita (my mother's chi from Nini's first litter) up for re-homing.  I am being pretty picky.  Luckily, Daisy found a local phenomenal home with two sisters who already had a younger chi named Zoe.  Chico Boom Boom went to live with Pancho (his son from Lucy X Chico's previous litter) in Orange City, FL and Boogie went to live with Lucky (our Lobo from Nini's last litter) in Port St.Lucie, FL.  They will be loved and cared for tremendously.  That consoles me...

Still, things are as tough as can be and the emotions can really get the best of me, many times... I will have to close up my website in the near future.  I will no longer be breeding. Lucy will remain here at home and maybe some others, don't know yet? But, all will be fixed.  My breeding days were some to remember and for that I am grateful.  It will be sad to say goodbye to ChihuahuaCrazy.com --it's been a part of me for so long now...

To all of my previous clients and puppies--which are not so puppy anymore--thanks for all your support and words of encouragement.  I am truly lucky to have had you all come into our lives and take ownership of our little ones...  My email will never change and I will still remain on FB.  Wishing us all the very best in the future...

Growing up quickly...

The puppies (Lucy X Boogies 6.18.10 litter) have graduated to another part of the house--the family room where all things human and canine converge...  They are wanting to play and move about a bit more.  Also, the other dogs are anxious to get to know them.  Today, they are officially 5 weeks of age!  Man, where has time gone???

Lily has now passed down the post of "Queen of the litter" to Pebbles who wants to dominate all things living around her!  She will play at any hour of the day or night, if she must, by herself with inanimate objects (which are not her favorite).  She is incredibly playful and active and wears out her siblings to no end...  Lily has become the one that everyone else picks on--because she is so laid back and passive, at this point.  Snoopy is still speaking up a storm whenever he wants milk or the comfort of his silblings, if they wander too far and out of sight.  And, Scooby is a pretty laid back little dude with the sweetest expression--makes you want to eat him alive!

We are now on Puppyfind and trying to find a home for Lily and Snoopy.  I feel I may not be doing this much longer--as much as I love it.  But, our lives are moving in a forward direction where breeding is not likely to fit into--sad, but it is our reality for now...  So, full time work is something that will soon be in my future--eventhough I really feel being a mom to four and breeding is already a full time job !  But, being Realtors, has been a downfall for us and reinvention is necessary at this point.  This economy has killed our industry and our livelyhood.  I can barely actively think about for more than 5 minutes, unless I want to seriously fall into a deep depression...

Yet, I consider myself very lucky to have these dogs and pups in my life and that of our family's.  They have given us so much--I cannot express how much I owe these little gifts of mine!!!  If it wasn't for them, my sky would most certainly have been black--and it is not--for the most part it has maintained it's shade of a beautiful baby blue... Forward and onward...

Back to the puppies after "our" vacation...

"Where are we???"

We have just come back from a family re-union on Miami Beach where we were able to relax in the sun (got too much of it!) with our family--a whole 100 of us!  Ya, a bit overwhelming, but fun nonetheless...  We had to leave the puppies at home with my mother, who happens to live with us--bless her!!! They were in the best of care--although, Lucy missed us a whole lot and made my mother's nights a bit miserable!!!  Otherwise, they are all fine.  It was amazing to see how much they changed over the span of the 5 days.  They look more mature now. 

Lily wondering about the sun...

Today we took them out into the yard for the first time.  It is HOT here in Central FL, to say the least!  They were not too happy about being out there, even though we were in the shade. So, the outing was short lived, but fun for a few minutes.  We were able to take lots of pics and a new video, which I will attach the link to here:

It's unbelievable to think they are going on 5 weeks of age already.  Time has a way of zipping by...  They are now beginning to try wet food--although their food of choice is Momma's yummy milk, hands down.  But, soon they will be forced to eat more of the solid food--nature's intuition and way.  Lucy will need a very long and deserving break after these puppies go.  She is a true Mom and we couldn't see our lives without her...
