Farfl doesn’t like the saxophone
Thanks for coming back! I appreciate it.
When my kid practises her saxophone Farfl gets howly.
She really doesn't dig the music, man.....
Best Chihuahua pet carrier I’ve ever seen!
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 and the fleece
Okay, so my first mistake was dropping my fleece on the floor.
Once Farfl got hold of it it became her new bed. And she hasn't given it up yet.
The only thing that distracts her is when my kid comes home.
Farfl Gets The Zoomies
Does your dog ever run up the walls? For fun?
Farfl goes a little stir-crazy when it's raining and I discovered that she can burn off a lot of energy in our basement because it is carpeted (unlike the rest of the house which has bare floorboards) and she can get some decent traction. I've wanted to capture her "zoomies" for the longest time. And here they are.
I think you'll agree - well worth the wait!
Farfl Tries To Make Friends With The Cat
At six months old Farfl is becoming a more mature chihuahua...
But that doesn't mean that Jess the cat wants anything to do with her. Poor Farfl tries to impress Jess with her new chew bone, but all Jess does is growl and slink away.
Better luck next time, little puppy!
Farfl appears on her first talk show!
Okay, it's only the silly video podcast that me and my friend Josh do every so often, but it's a start!
"Talking Bollocks" is an occasional chat show devised by me, Marilla Wex, and Josh Rachlis - voice artist, film-maker and eco-warrior. We started it because we both wanted to be on chat shows but no one was asking us. So we started our own. (more...)
Pet Wars – the Saga Continues…
I blame Sarah.
She encouraged me to film the dog and the cat fighting and now I'm addicted. This is a great example of the two animals at play. (more...)
Farfl and the Cat – Rematch!
Sarah said she wanted more cat/dog videos. How could I refuse?
At first I balked at the idea of posting videos of my dog and my cat fighting. But this isn't really a fight. Farfl tries to play with Jess, Jess tells her where to get off, Farfl pretends that the doorframe tastes good for a while then tries to play with Jess again. Jess, as always, remains unimpressed. (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.
