Christmas Bed

The girls had a marvelous Christmas, getting spoiled, probably getting too many snacks and treats, and much time snuggling with Mom, who actually spent time away from the sewing machine!



Christmas morning found a new house/bed for the girls near the Christmas tree, filled with their favorite treats: CocoTherapy Coconut chips, Bil-Jac's Peanut Butter-Banana treats, a couple boxes of Buddy Biscuits and three new antler chews (you can't see all of it inside the bed, but they are there!) The huge bag of bones next to the bed is, alas, not for them, but rather, for Carson. They did get a little excited when they thought they had a bone bigger than themselves to chew on!

The new bed was quite the hit. It found it's way into the sewing studio, where it was thoroughly checked out by everyone. The first day they played musical beds, with all three of them trying it out and even at one point all three of them were piled in it together.

But soon it became apparent that someone decided to take ownership. Can you guess who..???

Yep, Breezy is the one that usually runs right into it and is not too excited about sharing. I am trying to get her used to the sharing concept, but I can see it will take some effort.

This is the look she gets if Bonnie dares to get too close to the bed:


Sometimes she even curls that cute little lip. I am just waiting for the day Bonnie sticks her whole giant head in there, lifts it off the ground and runs around the room with it. THEN we will see how brave the tiny Breezy is, huh?

Stormie just gives me this look that clearly says, "You are going back to the store and getting another one of those beds for Shimmer and me, right?"

Really now girls, I didn't have this much post-Christmas problems when raising six kids!
And yes, Stormie, I probably will be going back to get another one. You can never have too many beds, right?

Merry Christmas to One and All


We would like to take this time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. It is our favorite time of the year and lots has been going on. There are many packages under the tree with our names on them. Mom won't let us get close enough to sniff them, so that must mean they are filled with TREATS!!!!!!


We hope everyone has a blessed, Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Collars


It is no big secret that we love Suzanne at Crazy for Collars. In fact, she and I have decided that we must be twin sisters separated at birth as we think so much alike. We can get some good, rousing conversations going, that's for sure!

When I saw that she had cute Reindeer collars for Christmas, I knew that I had to get some for the girls, to coordinate with their Reindeer tshirts that I had been selling.

They have been wearing the collars and tshirts for a few days now and look so cute.

Visit With Santa



We had such a super busy day on Saturday, but still managed to squeeze in a visit to Santa with the girls. We took them to our local PetSmart.

The Santa was actually a woman, but that didn't seem to matter to the girls. They were mostly put off by the smell of her gloves. She finally told me that she had been holding a Ferret just before they arrived. So now I know that they aren't too fond of Ferrets.

The pictures are taken pretty fast, and there isn't much posing. We had our camera and Shawn was able to capture this moment:



While Stormie and Shimmer weren't too terribly interested in chatting with Santa, it appeas Breezy had some schmoozing to do.

She must be trying to explain all those naughty tricks she plays on Bonnie.....

Chihuahua Nativity

I sort of have Christmas nativities on the brain these days as I am in charge of a huge Nativity event coming up at our church in a few weeks. We have over 400 nativities on display from all over the world, as well as musical performances and children's activities.


After having seen all the different types of nativities last year, both exquisite and whimsical, I went searching for a few new ones for myself.


I did add to my collection with a few beautiful new nativities. And I also ended up getting a Chihuahua nativity set. Yes, I said Chihuahua nativity.


It is adorable, I really love it. I found it on eBay and the seller has many other breeds, including Pugs, Schnauzer, Shih Tzu, Poodle, , and Dachshund, to name just a few. You can check it out HERE. The really great thing is that for the month of November, you can buy one, get one free! Do I hear Christmas gifts calling...???? Each set is $39.99, plus $14.35 shipping, so to get one for free really makes it quite the bargain.

Now, in case you think this sounds a little sacrilegious, I will say that the Baby Jesus is a child, but all the other characters, such as Wise Men, Shepherds, Mary and Joseph, are Chihuahuas dressed up in biblical clothing.







Our family finds it kind of fun to have such a whimsical nativity among the many elegant, classic ones that we have displayed around the house.
Plus, they are all just used to me being a little cuckoo over my Chihuahuas, right?
