Neutering Your Chihuahua
Thanks for coming back! I appreciate it.
Thanks to Jean Kim for this gorgeous picture of Farfl
I hate the idea of an invasive procedure. But it's every responsible owner's duty to have their pet fixed.
But what are the things you need to consider before getting your chihuahua neutered? (more...)
Transitioning from pee-pads to going outside
It was going to have to happen sometime.
Now that it's warmer in Toronto and I want to take Farfl places, she needs to be properly house trained so that she knows that it's not appropriate to "go" indoors. But how do you make that transition? (more...)
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...)
Going Off-Leash

If there's one thing I've learned since getting a small dog, it's that you might be able to control your dog off-leash, but you sure as hell can't control anyone else's. (more...)
Our Contact Page is Fixed!
I know I should have done this a while ago, but hey-ho.
You'll all be thrilled to know that I've finally gotten around to fixing the contact page on this website. I apologize that it's taken me a while - I was trying to be clever and that's rarely a good idea. Now you can email us with your questions, stories etc. and you will get a response!
Thanks for your patience.
Farfl’s First Toronto Chihuahua Meet-Up
Puppy kindergarten was over...she'd had all her shots...it was time.
Farfl and me at PawsWay
We were excited. This would be the first time since she came from her breeder that Farfl would be hanging out with more than one other chihuahua! (more...)
Farfl Graduates From Puppy Kindergarten
Farfl and the mortar board....it's bigger than her!
She made it all the way through her eight weeks of basic training!
I'd heard pretty mixed reviews of training classes at Petsmart, but as soon as I met Heather I knew I was in the right place. (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’s Foe
I wish I could tell you that my dog and my cat get on well together.
But that, frankly, would be a fat lie. Farfl is pretty good on the whole - she doesn't usually pick a fight with Jess, but sometimes the temptation to go and sniff her is just too much. Then Jess starts growling then Farfl starts play bowing and then Jess goes for her and Farfl barks. Oy. Here's a very short video of them in action. (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.
