Happy Valentine’s Day!! 🥰 Tolum and Bondi are still looking for dates, but I told them not to worry… the night is young!
The dogs and I are snuggled in bed, feeling a little chilly on this cold evening, so we decided to look back at some memories of warmer times from this last summer! We can’t wait to have snow-free romps again! Not long to wait!! ☀️
Finally the deep freeze is over! ❄️ The dogs and I celebrated with a much needed romp today!! 🥳
Getting in some sweet snuggles with one of our tiniest pack members. 💕
Enjoying some puppy snow time!
Happy Thanksgiving to our amazing American families! A happy wag from our our family to yours!
Early morning snuggles for this little one. 💕 Puppies are born deaf and blind but their incredible sense of smell helps them find mom and her delicious milk supply within moments after birth. 🥛 The paws are incredible pink at birth, as are the noses, and their darker pigmentation comes in over the next few weeks. By two weeks of age they can both see and hear and by the third week they are no longer “swimming” around the whelping area on their bellies but may start lifting themselves up and taking a few tentative steps. 🐾 By week four they are watching what mom eats and starting to join her at the water and dog food dish. 🦴 Pawing at each other and gentle, mouthing play begins at week four. Their perfection and progression is truly a beautiful miracle to watch. 💫
Damsel and Hero are loving their chew time! We have been blessed with two final litters by our amazing, super chill stud dog Fleur and these guys certainly do him proud. Beautiful full coats, playful but settled natures... we're pretty excited for their future homes!
It's a merry chase! 💗 Spending time at Grandma and Grandpa's camping spot allows us the unique opportunity to expose our young dogs to a new environment, busy roads, new people, long car rides and a variety of other enriching activities! Clearly they are already feeling comfortable and embracing the fun!
Just a little puppy love to start your weekend!
We love hosting and sharing these wonderful dogs!! 💕 Our dogs are able to enjoy 15 acres of fenced romping space for their offleash walks, 11 spacious grass and treed yards, and continual daytime doggie door access for all the outdoor fun they want. 🌳Our building features in-floor heating so our dogs are warm and cozy in the winter, skylights, numerous windows, space for pack-play, a grooming room and plenty of room to host our fun filled client visits! 🐾 Our custom, dog-enjoyed spaces exceed the CVMA required standards and are regularly vet assessed. 🩺 We deeply care about our dogs and offering them a wonderful place to live and enjoy is incredibly important to us. 🐶
Beat that heat!! 🔥 Bichon Shih Tzus melt in high temperatures but thankfully keeping them comfortable is pretty simple!! We use lots of water… wet them down, help them swim, etc. 👙Sometimes we’re wetting them several times a day! Many dogs love a sprinkler or a full children’s playpool to enjoy! 💦 You can also freeze a water filled milk jug to lay against, if AC isn’t in the budget. 🧊 Ice in the water dish and a damp towel to lay on can help as well! And of course, keep their coat short. ✂️ Who wants to wear a winter parka in the summer? 🌞 😅 What are your hot weather management hacks for your pups?
We're passionate about our Bichon Shih Tzus & their amazing families! Lots of wags, walks & cuddles!
