5 Weeks old puppy update!

If you follow me on twitter or instagram then you would have seen these two adorable little munchkins pop up quite frequently, as I haven't posted anything on my blog about them since they were newborn I think it's about time I updated you on them. They're now 5 weeks old (pushing 6) and are eating puppy food which is giving their mum Peppa a bit of a well deserved break because they're a complete handful.

My two little puppies have actually been name-less up until they were 5 weeks old so the little boy's name is Charlie and his sister's name is Lola! They're completely different looks wise and personality, Charlie's fur has lightened up majorly since he was born and he seems to be getting lighter day by day, but he's kept his dark face which makes me think he's going to look a lot like his mother but lighter. Charlie is adventurous, playful and quite honestly a little bit clingy to me, he constantly wants to be held for cuddles or play, he was the first to leave the 'nest' and wander around. He's definitely the more outgoing out of the two but that might just be his ego for being first born!

Lola, my timid little girl! Compared to her brother she's quite shy but she's equally as playful and loving. She gets scared a lot easier and isn't a very tough cookie. It took her a lot longer to venture out of the nest and run around with the other dogs but now she's out there's no stopping her. She's very greedy and loves her food, she keeps trying to steal the bigger dogs treats off them by acting cute then swooping in and stealing their goods. Lola's fur has also lightened up but she's kept her rich chocolate brown coat, but she's now got cream paws and underneath which looks absolutely gorgeous. One thing that we're completely thrown by is the colour of her eyes, they're a mix of brown and blue and are beautiful and slightly odd we're unsure if they're going to go brown or blue or stay as both!

They're both currently going through the whole house training process which is so so so long, but they'll get there eventually but they're being good and peeing on the puppy pads most of the time... naughty. I'm currently writing this on their mum's 5th birthday (5th october 2014) for their 5 week update so there's a whole lot of 5's going on today! I absolutely love these little guys and can't stop taking photos of them.

We're expecting puppies!

If you follow me on instagram you probably would have seen this beautiful face grace 99.9% of the photos I upload maybe that's an exaggeration... I actually have 4 chihuahuas but Peppa the little beauty photographed above is mine, my petite chien and has become severely attached to me since the day she was born. we have a little family tree in my home we have Ami and Badger who are the parents of Peppa, and Peppa has recently become pregnant by our newest edition Rio who's fourteen months old. we have always thought it's good for our chihuahuas to experience pregnancy once in their life, Ami had one litter of two puppies and we're allowing peppa to have one litter too, at first I was a little aprehensive because she's so tiny and I still see her as a puppy even though she's now four years old, but we have been given the o-k by our vets, maybe that's me being an over protective mother and not wanting her to become a mother herself? I don't know. we're deciding whether or not to get a scan done so we can see just how many puppies we're expecting as doing so saved Ami's life four years ago when Peppa was born - Ami was expecting five puppies but she only birthed two but she had extreme difficulty delivering one of the placentas, which we thought was a puppy and rushed her to the vets... what happened to the other three puppies we don't know it's still a mystery to us and the vets. Peppas little bundles of joy are due on the 28th of August, I'll be updating you guys on Peppas pregnancy when she's nearly due and once the puppies are born, we're excited for little baby chihuahuas running around the house!
