doggie hotel

it's as if casa chihuahua has turned into a doggie hotel. last week we had aoife (grand-dog #1) as our guest and this week we have bee (grand-dog #2)!


bee lives in new york city, on the 27th floor, so she is enjoying being on ground level and being able to look out the window and see something other than clouds. BOL

memorial day

somewhere along the line, memorial day has turned into a day for bbq's, travel and home repair. let's all take a moment to remember the true meaning of memorial day...


to honor those who served and did not come home.

cat house

bailey really liked this cute little house and it was just her size!
unfortunately it's sitting on top of a cat tree!

objects in mirror are closer than they appear

bailey, enjoying the sunshine while we wait in the car for hubby.


want a closer look?


don't worry, as soon as hubby got back, bailey went right back into her car seat. i would never hold her on my lap in a moving car.

product review: natural balance limited ingredient diet

this month bailey is reviewing natural balance limited ingredient white fish & sweet potato formula grain-free wet dog food courtesy of chewy.com.


upon opening the tub, you could see chunks of fish and veggies. the first ingredients are white fish, fish broth & sweet potato, followed by a list of vitamins and minerals.


day one went well. she liked it and finished both of her meals.


the next day however, she was a bit rumbly in her tumbly. hmm, coincidence or the food? i let a couple of days pass before trying it again. this time she didn't want it and ate around it. i let another couple of days pass and i opened another tub. when i spooned it into her bowl, i noticed a fish bone. then i found another and another. all in all, this is what i "fished" out of the 2.75 ounce tub.


this can't be right. they are sharp and i can only imagine what would happen if bailey were to ingest them. i called natural balance right away and they said it was not normal to find bones in the food. hmm. where's the quality control? needless to say, this was quite disconcerting. i've always trusted natural balance foods and since i didn't notice any in the first tub, i'm hoping this was just a fluke? but it sure was a lot of bones for such a small container.

overall, i am not that thrilled with this product. bailey ate it the first day but got a tummy ache. the next time she refused to eat it. then there's the issue of the fish bones. maybe i should have gone with the chicken.


according to their website:
• single source of animal protein
• limited carbohydrate sources
• premium flaked fish
• grain-free
• natural ingredients with added vitamins and minerals
• contains no corn, wheat, soy, artificial preservatives, flavors or colors

panic attack

not again! shaking, panting, poor bailey is in a full panic. what has gotten her into such a state?


this is the culprit.


yes, it's the dreaded housefly. whenever one of these gets into the house, it puts bailey into a panic; and it lasts way beyond the death of said creature. we try everything to get her out of it. we try to distract her, we offer her treats, we take her outside, nothing works. she just has to ride it out. any suggestions? it's awful to see her like this.

the purple one

a couple of weeks ago, bailey, and the world, was saddened by the sudden loss of prince. to help cheer her up, i crocheted her a purple afghan. now she can be "the purple one" too.


and because she is my little princess, i also made her a crown. BOL
