He's Here!

Ziggy arrived late Friday night after flying in his crate all day. I was so relived that he made it safe and sound, and very eager to finally meet him in person.

When I got him home, we put him in the kitchen with a baby gate up so he could explore a bit without getting too overwhelmed, and kept the Chihuahuas upstairs. My husband commented on how huge he was. Only in a house of Chihuahuas would anyone consider a 16 lb. dog huge :)

Ziggy quickly acquainted himself with the cat box by marking it. And then marking the box of cat litter. We quickly put on one of the belly bands his previous owner had sent with him. First order of business when he's finally settled in- Getting Fixed!!!!!

The chis still haven't quite made up their minds about Ziggy. They're a bit intimidated by his size, and Loki seems a bit depressed. I think they'll adjust, but it will take a bit of time.

Just for fun, we took all of the dogs hiking together for a little bonding:

One thing we do finally agree on- we definitely have enough dogs now :)

Welcome!

Please, come on in, sit down! What? It looks a little bare in here? There aren't any chairs? Or walls? Errr, I guess you're right. It's hard to hide the fact that this blog is well and truely under construction. However, I did want to kick it off with a first post and introduce you to my blog and tell you a little bit about what I'm aiming for here.

This blog is dedicated to my love of chihuahuas, specifically my two long haired boys, Loki and Ares, but also chihuahuas in general. You see, I was never a dog person until Loki stole my heart. Now I see there are just so many facets to owning a dog, especially a small dog. Here, I want to review small dog products, share intereesting chihuahua tibits, and discuss issues surrounding small dogs. Of course, there will always be a lot about my two chihuahuas in here as well.

So kick back. I promise this place will be a lot cozier soon....
