Dharma♥ Is here!

Our newest edition to our Chihuahua family is here! Dharma arrived on August 14, 2010 in Denver. We drove up 82.7 miles from our ranch entrance to the Continental Cargo pick up in Denver, Colorado ONE WAY! It is WORTH it because these beautiful pups are priceless to us! Amen she made the flight fine because of all the precautions her loving & awesome breeder mommy took to make sure that her tiny 2.7 lb chocolate and tan puppy would arrive safely to us! Dharma is from "Robin Brannan's Chihuahuas" based out of Moore Haven Florida. We absolutely adore this precious girl! I got her CKC registered today so she is officially my baby! Her CKC registered name is, "Marie's Chocolate Dream Dharma". In about a year or so she will be old enough to be bred. Here is a photo of the little sweety!♥

Savannah Joe & Orion Welcome to the Ranch!

On Tuesday August 17, 2010 a family made the hard decision to owner surrender one of their horses to us here. He is a 22 year old registered American Paint that is western broke & an absolute sweetheart! He will be staying here on the ranch with us! ♥♥♥




While we were away from the ranch for a couple hours picking up Savannah Joe a long awaited miracle occured!!! Artemis FINALLY had her cria!! He is a tiny little male that we have named "Orion". His sire is obviously D'Artagnon, who is also Patriot's sire, & Blake & Zeus are his older brothers. :)

What a day full of blessings! ♥

Patriot is here!

On June 30, 2010 Ruby had her cria!

Way off in the distance I saw Ruby pacing back & forth. I called my daughter, Johannes to see if she could see a cria, cuz I can't see very well. She said she couldn't see anything. So I got my camera & zoomed in...that is why the 1st photo is a bit blurry cuz it is way off in the distance. I showed the photo & off we went out into the pasture to see!

The other llamas hadn't noticed the newborn cria yet but as soon as we got up to Ruby & the cria her previous son, Bleu & the others, came to greet the new addition to the herd. The cria was still wet & not far from the placenta on the ground; you can see it in the background on the ground in the 2nd photo. The cria stood once the other llamas started to approach. Lily (Snowflakes cria) came up humming...a llama her size! As you can see the newborn cria is almost as big as Lily & she is 7 weeks old....it is HUGE!

Soon we motivated the herd to move to the other side of the pasture to the water troughs & run-in shelter, I saw that the newborn cria is a male. His coloring is so unique....it reminds me of merle cuz of the blues & pinks. He is absolutely D'Artagnon's son! He's got the white on his forehead exactly like him! I have to research the many different colors of the llamas coats to figure out what he is...

Now...what should he be named? After much thought, his being a male & July 4th just 4 days away... his name is "Patriot". He is a very unique & handsome cria!

Welcome to the world Patriot!♥

A gift to MYSELF :)

I decided you only turn the big 50 once... so I bought myself a gift. I deserve it & don't need permission or approval from any one to get myself a dog! (Only because some people have made nasty comments about my getting this new baby.) He is a Blue Merle Chihuahua and I named him "Marley". He is absolutely adorable! He is the sweetest, friendliest, snuggliest puppy & we all love him dearly.

I got him from Nancy White in South Carolina. She has her own Pet store & grooming shop. I love the blue merle color & absolutely fell in love with this little guy from the first time I saw his puppy photos. Then Nancy posted a pic of him with a large crocodile tear & that is what made up my mind that he was going to be my new baby.

If you are looking for a new furbaby or featherbaby I recommend Nancy! She is an amazing person that really cares about her animals.

Here is her information:

Let her know I sent you! :)

It was a wonderful day yesterday! My mom threw a surprise 50th birthday party at her house. I thought it was just a family BBQ. Although Mom had been talking to my daughter & husband a lot lately! I really enjoyed myself.... it's not THAT bad turning the big 50! I am pretty damn hot for a 50 year old! ;)

I also got a lot of Happy birthday wishes from my Facebook friends, that was fun seeing all of them! Thanks everyone... you ALL made me feel special! :) ♥
