What Do You Do With Your Dog When You Go On Vacation?
Thanks for coming back! I appreciate it.
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 Has a New Friend!
Okay, this is ridiculously cute.
I took Farfl to my girlfriend's house last week. The girlfriend, in fact, who inspired me to get a chihuahua in the first place. Her little chi is called Gem and is an absolute sweetheart. I had read in several books on chihuahuas that they get on best with their own breed. But I had no idea if this was really true... (more...)
Farfl’s Chihuahua Store Goes Live!
Great news at Farfl the Wonderdog!
It's taken me a long time to build (sorry for the brief hiatus in blog posts), but finally the website has a store dedicated to all things chihuahua!
If you really care about your darling chi then you, like me, spend hours trawling the internet for everything your chihuahua could ever need: coats for cold or inclement weather, boots to protect their tiny feet from cold and salt in the winter and hot sidewalks in the summer, harnesses that won't hurt their necks, beds small enough to make them feel secure, crates so you can take them with you when you travel and yes, cute outfits to dress them up in! Now you can find all of these things in one place... (more...)
Farfl and the Couch
Farfl is really easy to entertain.
Right after she finished taking the monkey to task it was time to teach the couch a lesson. (more...)
Farfl and the Monkey
Farfl has a new toy - and it's a monkey!
Farfl is indeed a fearsome chihuahua. Witness how she takes down this naughty monkey and shows him who's boss in the latest Farfl video. (more...)
Farfl Digging Indoors
It's hard to tire a chihuahua out when it below freezing outdoors.
Which is why it's great when she can find a game that expends a lot of energy while doing no damage to herself or the furniture. Here's a video of her digging indoors. (more...)
What is a Miniature Teacup Chihuahua?
Just what is a mini chihuahua?
Finally, a picture that shows her in proportion!
If you have ever looked through the classified ads for a chihuahua puppy you will see the expressions "teacup chihuahua", "teacup tiny chihuahua" and "mini chihuahua" bandied about. But what does it mean? What's the difference between a teacup chihuahua and a regular chihuahua? (more...)
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...)
“The Puppy Whisperer” Book Review
Did you ever buy a book and think: "I wish I'd had this book before I...."?
Well, that's pretty much how I felt when I picked up and read a copy of Puppy Whisperer: A Compassionate, Non Violent Guide to Early Training and Care
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.
