After stringing me along with multiple assurances of commitment, the approved applicant has reneged on fulfilling the adoption agreement. Sweet Barney Rocket just wants to play, to cuddle, and to have a home of his own. He is current on his vaccinations and has nice household manners. He sleeps through the night by himself without crying. He entertains himself quietly (when he must). He will likely only reach 4 lbs as an adult. He is a Chihuahua, also known as a "forever puppy." Please private Message me if you are serious about adopting this darling little gentleman.

11/07/2024

WE ARE CALLING HIM "ROCKET." He was born at the end of February and we knew he was special the minute he was born. His Papa is our champion-producing, Prince Loki and Lola, the descendant of nearly 60 champions. At just over 4 months old, we are not certain he will ever reach 4 pounds. He is SO SMALL! And remember, our breeding priority is sweet disposition...and Rocket is THE SWEETEST little boy!

We had some thought we might keep him as a new stud dog. Well, we have now made the decision NOT to keep him and breed him. The problem is that he is too closely related to too many of our females and we are not big fans of "in-line" breeding. So. We need to find a permanent home for him and he needs to be "fixed" as soon as advised by your vet (so that he never develops the marking instinct).

THIS may be someone's opportunity to acquire an exceptional M-Class/Comfort Chihuahua, a very small and very sweet (and O! So cute!) Chihuahua. And please share this and help us find the perfect home for a perfect little companion. Be sure to Direct Message me for details. m.me/mclasschihuahuaranch

Snickers & Twix, now renamed Latte & Vanilla, are nearly to their new home in Texas with Takashi & Minako. Two to three years from now they will be going back to Japan, where I am sure they will insist upon a visit from me, their grampa! Maybe I should start a GoFundMe immediately, to pay for it. LOL

Finding great homes for my babies is my highest priority and I have been blessed to have found so many excellent homes, making great friends in the process. Norah, now Tutu, has found her perfect happy place, nestled up to Lynn’s neck. Once again, I have found, by the grace of God, a great home for a puppy and new friends, this time, just a 30 minute drive away. Once again, I am grateful and contented.

Celebrating 51 years of happy marriage to my lovely Lola.

YUP!

We got the babies out for an HOUR (actually more than an hour) of PLAYTIME (with each other AND us! I took between 200 and 300 pics--I had to--they won't sit still for more than a second so ya gotta catch them and then cull all the blurred shots. Here is Norah. Lola actually got down on the floor and Norah decided--as divas do--to perch as if she had conquered the giant human. LOLOL! But I GOT the pics I wanted!

23/06/2024

Norah may be the smallest, softest, sweetest puppy I have ever produced. She wore herself out running and playing with her mom and aunt Julie and me. Then she curled up in my arms, sighed a big sigh, and drifted off to slumberland. I clipped her nails and took pictures. She just lay there, perfectly content on Papa's arm.

Twix & Snickers are reserved, no longer available. Lucky for me, it will be another month before they will go to their new home. These guys are such cuddle-bugs...I already miss them. I can barely stand the thought of losing them.

But they are going to an amazing home! Their new family are experienced Chihuahua people AND there are huge holes in the family's hearts where former companions lived. Of course, these siblings will always have each other, but they will never be left without human companionship either. They will never be alone. They are headed for their best life! My aim, my goal, for every puppy!

04/06/2024

Twix seems to always be in front! LOL! But I love how these siblings (Norah is a half-sibling) get along and cuddle together. Just in case you want to know....they get their first vaccinations on Monday. And they will be ready to go to their new homes the Monday following! If you are approved or interested in adopting, you should contact me by DM immediately.

NORAH JONES , Sadie's one and only offspring. She is soft and tiny. She gets along with her half-sibs...but she prefers humans who will cuddle her non-stop. I am sure she will be someone's perfect, warm, bedtime cuddle-buddy. Sorry it took me so long to post pics.

SNICKERS at 5 weeks. Sorry for the delay. He is THE fluffiest, and sweetest little bundle of joy you ever held! He is Julie's son, out of Honey Bear. Message me for info.

TWIX at 5 weeks. He is THE fluffiest, and sweetest little bundle of joy you ever held! He is Julie's son, out of Honey Bear. Message me for info.

Does Anyone Need a Hardly Used, 6 foot, Portable Ramp?

The goal of my crappy insurance was to get me out of the Rehab Hospital as soon as possible. Honestly, after 20 days I wanted nothing more than going home! So, the goal of my therapy program was to get me home dependent on a walker (no room for a wheelchair in our tiny house).The problem was two concrete steps to get into the house. Walkers don’t manage steps at all.

My improvement in rehab was so quick it amazed everyone, including me. So, if I had a ramp instead of steps, we could practice walking up and down a ramp and I could come home as soon as the ramp arrived. My doctors, nurses, therapists, and insurance all signed off and I was discharged on my birthday. I can’t tell you how happy I was!

I arrived home and negotiated the ramp just fine. It was steeper than I expected, I should have ordered a 7 or 8 ft ramp. But still, I managed it safely and I was HOME! Over the next four days I used the ramp and my walker, a total of 4 or 5 more times. So why is it for sale now?

Our house is very small, too small for a wheelchair. I already had a walker that we had discovered was too wide to negotiate our home. In the hospital, I had ordered a new, adjustable-width walker. I came home, walked up my ramp with it and once indoors, discovered that even at it’s narrowest adjustment, my new walker was also too wide to help me navigate in my house.

BUT! I was still making dramatic progress every day. I was hurting less, I was more abled than disabled. I was forced to depend on my trusted cane, but I managed fine with that. For the first four days, I maneuvered in-house with my cane, using the walker and my ramp only when going out. On the 5th day, I left the house using my cane and I can’t tell you where my walker is right now. With my cane, I can manage the steps and no longer need the ramp! I guess, if I had stayed in the hospital a few more days, I could have avoided the cost of walker and ramp both!

So, buy my ramp and I will throw in a shiny, new walker for free. I should have been more patient. But my crappy insurance was clear—they wanted me discharged no later than Friday (the day after I actually came home) regardless of wheelchair, walker, ramp, or improvement! So I bought a ramp and a walker (no re-imbursement from insurance) and I got to come home on my birthday. I am NOT unhappy. But I could sure put to better use, the money I spent on a nice, portable ramp and a mostly unused walker. LOL!

BTW UPDATE: One week after discharge, I am now walking short distances without my cane or any other support! Those damaged nerves are still my biggest problem. They are healing slowly. They might heal completely one day. But my pain levels are now in the 2 to 4 levels instead of the 8 to 9 levels. I am on steroids again, but I am no longer using my opioids or my muscle-relaxants. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have reached this level of healing. Thank God! And thank you for all your prayers!

My new ramp means I can go home today and get into my home! Without a handrail, I can’t get up the steps and so, can’t go home today.

Take a look of these pups! The top left pup is male long coat, and very sweet and loves cuddles! Top right pic has a great personality and loves to play. Bottom left pic is a puppy that is white with black markings. He loves to explore, and of course, he is cute as a bug's ear! Bottom right is the littlest male that I have had. He weighed 2 ounces when he was born
His ears are standing and he is the one always at the front of crate, trying to get to me. This puppy is going to be very small. All need good, loving homes. Interested? Send me a message through messenger.

Going home tomorrow (16th)! My ramp arrives early, today. Happy Birthday to ME!

WOW! Was I ever wrong about this! The day after surgery was the last time I could walk for the next TEN days!

Surgery took FIVE hours instead of 3 on account of so much scar tissue..My back pain is minimal. My bad shoulder and hips are excruciating! I should go home tomorrow. I get to walk as much as I can tolerate. Bless you all for your prayers.

Today it was Norah's turn to lose the dewclaws. Of course my fabulous vet checked Sadie Mae, just because. And found her fever was gone and she was recovering from her trauma. When I got home from my own dr appt, Sadie met me with joy and tail wagging like I had not seen since last week. She has perked up nicely AND all three pups are gaining weight every day, getting stronger because they CANNOT get prettier!

I did more blood work yesterday, saw primary care dr today. For the first time in my adult life--my triglycerides were in the normal range. For the first time ever--my good cholesterol was lower than it should be. STILL! Doc W read results to me.....item--perfect, item--perfect, item--perfect.....two and a half pages AND my already satisfactory A1c was a point lower than last time. It was an emotional boost going into last minute prep for tomorrow. I just had to share such great results!

When I bred Sadie & Julie, I had no way of knowing my neurosurgeon would finally schedule my 5th back surgery only 3 days after Sadie/Julie's due date. But the next crisis for me now looms large on my horizon,

THURSDAY, April 25th, Dr Tibbs will cut an 8 inch gash in my back, chop 4 vertebrae into pieces, spread my spine, screw the pieces of vertebrae back into place, implant a couple of steel rods on either side of my spine, and glue cadaver bone over the mess to hold everything in place.

He does this to someone, nearly every day. But it's new to me. I will be open on his table for 3 hours or more. I will be held in hospital for about 3 days. I will be homebound and helpless for a month, after which I will have two more months of severely limited activity before I may be enrolled in PT.

I had over 35 major procedures, more than 50 minor ones. I'm not particularly worried about the procedure...not daunted by 3 months of recovery. But so many operations have failed to significantly improve my situation or remove a much pain as promised. My shoulder surgery, 3 years ago, failed 2 weeks ago. THIS is my great concern...that after all this trouble and trauma, I won't be much better off than before and it may not last very long and THEN WHAT?

I've been told many success stories. I've heard lots of encouragement. But by my doctor's own admission, there are many failures, some so bad a follow-up surgery, going through the abdomen is required. I'm not at all certain this will all be worth it.

Every day I experience a new threshold of pain. It is mind-numbing. I cannot sleep NOT because I worry but because I cannot sleep through the pain. I MUST proceed with this surgery. If it fails, I cannot bear it.

The hospital is a 30 minute drive from our home. Lola will be taking care of me and taking care of puppies. I doubt she will take care of herself. You probably won't hear from her. So I expect there will be silence for awhile, and few puppy updates. I will make it up to you when I can. Thanks for your prayers.

UPDATE: No photos. After great difficulty and loss, Julie and Sadie are especially protective and doting moms. Snickers & Twix, and Norah are soft and warm and fat. JULIE got her exam this morning. The BOYS had their dewclaws removed. NORAH will have her dewclaws removed tomorrow. I am completely SLEEP DEPRIVED. But this moment is peaceful and quiet. Our loses are fresh and painful, but all is well--as well as possible--right now. Let's take our REST. Thank you.

After about 60 hrs of distress, I thought I could play with my new photo software application. Then I got stressed out again, trying to post my new portrait. I hope this posts for everyone to see. I REALLY LIKE IT! Perhaps I will call it "Madonna." (Italian for "my lady.")
