We Now Return to Our Regularly Scheduled Programing!

  Well friends a lot has happened since we last posted here at ARF's. We will spare you the the boring details and highlight the good things that have happened recently. Princess Pooper Scooper is currently ankle deep in it again because we've had three litters of Chihuahuas. Our new Chi parents are Snoopy & Flip, Fruitloop & Ready, and Godiva & Champ and between the three of them we have ten gorgeous puppies. Snoppy & Flip produced four of the cutest little long coat pups. Fruitloop & Ready had four unbelievable little applehead Chi's and I do mean little. One little girl only weighs 12 ounces at six weeks old. Godiva and Champ had two chunky little handsome boys. The picture above is of the two older litters eating lunch and playing while their mom's get a well deserved break. Check out http://arfchis.com/ to see more pics of our babies.

  Yes you read that right! We now have our very own really cool (if I do say so myself) website called ARF! Chihuahuas built for us by our friend Jen of Figgy Newton Web Design. Check us both out at the following links: http://arfchis.com/ and http://webdesign.figgynewton.com/

  Arf's really wants to thank Chi Wow! @ http://chiwow.com/ for allowing Ready to participate in the making of one of our litters.Check out the awesome Chi Wow! site (also built by Jen) to see how gorgeous he is.

Changing of the Guard and Piddle Pads!

  Well friends, it finally happened today. The changing of the guard, the passing of the torch, whatever you want to call it, it's now my responsibility to clean up puppy poop from Roxy's litter. She formally turned in her resignation this morning.The pups are well on their way to being completely weaned and I guess that means it's time for Princess Pooper Scooper to spring into action once again and here I thought we had such a nice arrangement. The puppies are starting to really develop their own personalities now. The Chocolate female is the most outgoing and her tail never stops wagging. The little boy just wants to be cuddled and the Merle female is the licker of the bunch. Click the link to watch recent video of the puppies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vBuznOwdlA

  In other news ARF! Chihuahuas has some new friends we'd like to introduce to you. This is Buddy (in the center) and his visiting girlfriends. Buddy is a Katahdin Ram and his girlfriends are here visiting from North Marion High School's FFA program. Buddy is doing his part to help support the FFA program by helping out with next years crop of baby lambs for the students to show in the fair. You never know what you'll find here at ARF! Chihuahuas. We'll introduce some of our other friends next time. 

  Until next time friends "sniff..sniff" at least for Princess Pooper Scooper doody calls...

Roxy & Pippen Litter Update!

 

Here is a new picture of mom & her pups, from left to right it's girl, girl, boy. Poor Roxy looks like she's thinking "Are they ever going to do anything besides eat?" There is also a short video of the pups on YouTube now.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx66qNDhAZQ 

Roxy & Pippen's Litter!

Hi Everyone!
Arf!Chihuahuas is proud to present Roxy and Pippen's litter of puppies! From the top we have Roxy no longer looking like a watermelon. It's disgusting how she got her figure back so quickly isn't it? Just below her on the left is a female puppy that looks like she's going to be a very light colored red merle & white. Next in the middle we have another female puppy, today she is chocolate with just a bit of white on her chest and toes. Some days she looks like she may have some blue in her. Last but not least on the right is our little boy, sometimes he looks blue sometimes he looks fawn it depends on the light, either way he's a merle puppy too. Mom and pups are doing well. The puppies have all filled out nicely and are little wiggle butts. Check back for weekly updates to see how they're doing.
Thanks,
Princess Pooper Scooper

Patience!

As you can see we have no puppies yet. Roxy still looks like a furry watermelon. We'll keep you posted on her progress. Thanks.

The Power of Flip

Flip, as most of you know is the pup at the top of the page holding the leaf in his mouth. I have always been pretty proud of the fact that my dogs were not overly spoiled, but very well cared for. My life pretty much revolves around them and the other farm animals and their daily needs from 6am to at least 10pm everyday with breaks in between to do dog laundry, clean kennels, work, gardening, and human laundry (if I remember). Flip on the other hand has decided that he should rule the humans. With just a look he can command Mr. Pooper Scooper (aka, my husband) to bring him a tiny morsel of granola or scratch his belly. Flip decides when it's time to go out with a whimper and when it's time to come in, with a bark. He demands that he be allowed to inspect and look after all new puppies that are born. To them he's Uncle Flip. He has wormed his way in like few other dogs have. He's everywhere, my cell phone has multiple pictures and videos of him. He gets to sit on my lap when I'm on the computer and sit on the console when he rides in the truck. And somehow he has the ability to make everyone that meets him fall in love with him. Not to bad for the puppy that made me go "Eew, that's the ugliest puppy in the litter" Flip is so spoiled he even has his own dog. Flip was supposed to have Champ as a roommate temporarily until he went to a new home, well the new home never materialized and so Flip decided that Champ should be his pet. Even though they're the exact same age and Champ is WAY bigger Flip is in charge. Flip eats first, gets first pick of the toys and gets to arrange the blanket. How did this happen? Just look at him, but don't stare into his eyes too long or you will be sucked in by the power of Flip.

Presents...

Do your dogs bring you presents? I know lots of people whose cats bring them lovely little gifts on occasion, but this week has been like a non stop birthday party for me. So far I've received a present on Monday that was deposited in the living room (again by you know who) that required hauling out the carpet cleaner. On Tuesday and Thursday I received the gift of freshly dead field rats from Snoopy. Now please keep in mind that this an extremely well trained hunting dog that just happens to be trapped in a chihuahua body. Friday brought me several unidentifiable bones from Peanut, who although she is more than willing to bring her present to me she feels much better if she hangs on to it for safe keeping as I am apparently not responsible enough to be entrusted with such priceless items. Where they are unearthing these artifacts is beyond me as it's virtually impossible to keep an eye on the entire herd every second when they are out running around. My yard looks like the toy isle at Petsmart with $500.00 worth of toys and yet they choose to play with and roll on and chew up dead things. Oh, and in honor of the Fourth of July Champ has decided to explode this morning. Happy 4th to everyone! Princess Pooper Scooper is off to find the Pepto...
