Best Chihuahua pet carrier I’ve ever seen!
Thanks for coming back! I appreciate it.
Farfl curled up in her new carry case
I'm lucky enough to be going to London, Ontario next year for a couple of months to perform in a theatre play and Farfl's coming too!
I'll be travelling between London and Toronto mostly using the train so I've been searching high and low for a good bag to carry Farlf in. Her hard-sided carrying crate is a bit unwieldy to shlep around with a suitcase!
All the carriers I've looked at have been too big, too bulky, not enough pockets, ugly etc. etc. etc. I've really been pulling my hair out! Then a couple of days ago I happened to pop into one of my local pet stores to pick up some treats ahead of Farfl's advanced training class which starts tomorrow. And there, sitting on a shelf, was the answer to my dreams! (more...)
Farfl in the park
Chihuahuas may be small....but they sure are mighty!
I worked really hard with Farfl to socialize her as much as possible with dog of many different breeds, sizes and energy levels to make sure that she would be as confident as possible wherever we went. And it certainly paid off! Here she is off-leash with a couple of other dogs at our local park.
Unless she is surrounded by many dogs she doesn't know, Farfl is a brave little three and a half pound chi!
Farfl’s first hotel stay
Finding a dog-friendly hotel is no easy feat.
Last weekend was visiting day at my kid's camp. In Sudbury. Which will mean nothing to anyone unless they live in Ontario, Canada. (more...)
What Do You Do With Your Dog When You Go On Vacation?
My husband and I had planned a trip to England for a few days.
Michael is a writer and was invited to appear at Jewish Book Week in London. A fantastic opportunity for him to promote his work to the British market and a perfect excuse for me to get back home, eat fish and chips and drink real beer. But what should we do with Farfl while we were gone? (more...)
Choosing a Vet
The right vet makes all the difference.
Farfl and her football
When I was doing my research on chihuahuas I started looking for a decent vet. I needed to get a vet anyway since our cat, Jessica, had started to go outside.
Jess spent most of her early life as an indoor cat - we got her from Toronto Humane Society when she was about a year old. She had already been declawed at the front and spayed. When we moved this time last year, I was determined to give Jess the chance to go outside if she wanted to. And she jumped at the chance!
Farfl Attacks a Chicken
I don't know what this poor chicken ever did to Farfl
It was a Christmas present from my Dad and Farfl the chihuahua puppy loves it. She is not intimidated even though it squeaks and is bigger than her. She chases after it and then bites it in a painful looking place... (more...)
One Bad Decision Costs $2,000
Why didn't I put her in the crate....
Look how cute I am!
My husband is finishing writing his latest book at the moment and is a little bit stressed. I needed to go out and get some coffee and go to the bank and I decided to take Farfl with me so that she wouldn't bug him. What a bad decision that turned out to be... (more...)
Farfl is a small, black dog who was born on 2nd November 2008 in Windsor, Ontario. This website celebrates her exciting adventures and those of her fellow chihuahuas.
