Miss Squeaks Fun Christmas Ideas For Your Furbaby!

 Okay lets talk Christmas, and our furbabys now its my first Christmas with Miss Mildred and gee I can't wait to get her new dresses from Ebay that we ordered I know I am excited to get them she has a few coming and I have a red and white one picked out for her to wear for the big day! Its so very cute a frilly just like the pretty princess that she is aww I mustn't be the only one who is excited about Christmas even Sir George has a outfit a little green elf costume that he looks so fantastic in and yes I will post pictures of them in their Christmas digs, Because I know you will want to see them haha! But i thought of a few ideas that you might like to do with your furbabys this Christmas! And we'll  get straight to it now.

If you're  like me , you think about your dog a part of your family. Then Christmas  is simply another occasion to solidify that relationship and embrace your dogs in all of the season’s commotion. Should you not break down before Christmas Eve, here are some gifts and activities that might make this Christmas extra, exceptional for you and your dog.

1. Get your dog a stocking.

That is, if they do not have one already. If this is your dog’s 1st Christmas with you, this can be a extremely nice way to commemorate your 1st of the many Christmas holidays together and solidify his or her place in your home.

There are 2 choices for this small activity. you could run out to your local Target or Kmart Red Dot or BigW and find a cute little stocking with their initial on it. That’s fast, easy, and totally counts. Or, if you have got a while to do a small homemade project, create one! Decorating a stocking that matches your dog’s temperament is something fun to do while you and your dog are sharing time watching crummy Christmas movies over a chewy bone and some wine/punch.

2. Lend a homeless dog a hand.

If your dog is dog friendly, this feature may be for you. wherever I spend the holidays, many shelters and rescues would love nothing more than to get their dogs out of their facilities or boarding to get a much-needed night in a home. Just  a day or 2 in a nice, warm home goes a long way towards helping out  a dog who is not as lucky as your own dog. Run a rescue or work with a shelter? Contemplate making a short-run fostering program for the holidays.

3. Take fun photos.

Earlier this season, one amongst my dogs gave up the ghost. Not to  get momentarily morbid, however having a lot of photos of him has positively helped Me and my family grieve. The Holidays are the simplest time to form those recollections and capture them so you mostly have a token of happy, silly, spirited times.

In my house, we’ve invested in jingle bell collars. The collars look laughably goofy on my  furbabys and create a lot of noise, however in a photo it’s too cute for words so worthwhile.

4.Participate in a very special activity together.

December is one in all the few months where everyone probably gets a while off of work. To make up for all those busy days throughout the year when your pup waited with patience for you to get home, do something exceptional together that you just might not get to try to to the remainder of the year. We are thinking of taking our furbabys to the beach Yay they'll like it.
Less-intensive activities are even as special. It could also be  a special trip to a doggy playground, or a walk on a brand new path you don’t take each day. This is just one nice way to show your dog how much he or she means to you and may make the holidays even more special for each of you.

Once again I would like to thank you all for coming and reading all of my blogs this is truly a passion for me and I enjoy doing the blog posts its fun and gets my brain moving in and on the right path but if we ever seem to be talking about the same stuff and you get bored just leave a comment below on what you might like Miss Mildred and I to talk about! We would love to keep everyone happy and up to date with whats going on with us over here in Perth Western Australia!

Miss Squeak And Miss Mildred Are Back Blogging.

 Hello and welcome to my blog Miss Squeaks Truth About Dogs.

After a little holiday away from blogging Miss Mildred and I 

Miss Squeak are getting back on the blogging wagon, and today I would love to let you all know, that over the last few week while we have been away. 

Some very cool things have happened like we had a Chihuahua play day for our Western Australian Chihuahua Lovers Facebook group and it was amazing, I was very excited and scared at the same time, because when you create a event you worry that no one will turn up. But I should not have been worried as we had over 40 chihuahua furbabies and owners at our chihuahua big day out, it was a wonderful day.  

So much that we are having a Christmas Chihuahua Party on the 11th of December yay!

We are very excited about our up coming chihuahua party, 

and I will blogging about it soon, In other news I have started a little video series about what I have for my little girl and what I use for her, my first video I talk about my nail clippers and her collars that I use with bells on them so I can hear where she is around house, But in the next few videos I will talk about my favourite dresses, harnesses, shoes this is a very good chance for you to have a look into my crazy chihuahua madness.

 I love my little polly princess so very much and she is my constant shadow, I feel like I am the luckiest furbaby mumma as I have a wonderful sweet loving little chihuahua, she makes my days brighter and everyday is easier when you have furbabies in your life to make you smile and laugh.

We are so happy to have Miss Mildred and Sir George Wobble, and are grateful that we found them so they are able to spend their lives with us. We also took the firkins to the vet for the yearly health check and needle, we took 5 furbabies to the vet and gee that was fun, but they all behaved so very well and as they were in their pack they were all balanced and helped each other with the stressfulness that a vet visit brings. All furbabies had a check up needles and got a good bill of health, but Miss Mildred has to have one of her baby teeth removed as it hasn't fallen out, so that is a little scary, but I don't want her to get sick or have any other problems due to her baby tooth so its coming out.

  I am so happy to be blogging again as it is a passion of mine and if I can help other owners with my tips and tricks then that is even better, in my next blog I am going to be back to giving information and helpful tips for all of my wonderful readers, I really just wanted to check in and let you all know why and what we have been up too, like always Miss Mildred and I would love to hear about what you all have been up to over the last few weeks, so let us know in the comments below, and checkout the video and let me know what you think as it can be hard to put yourself out into the world and I guess we all get a little worried people might not get what your talking about but oh well you get that and I have a few other videos to get up and have the world look at them haha, So on that note I hope you all have a wonderful week and we send happiness, laughter, love and joy to you and your furbabies!

 

 So until the next blog kiss and hug your furbabies and family, and let us know what you might like us to blog about,

Miss Squeak Talks All Things New With Miss Mildred.

So lots of new things have been going on in our sweet little nest, Monster and I Miss Squeak went off to Bali, a few weeks ago for ten nights and we left our furkids Miss Mildred and her fur brother Sir George with my big brother and son while we were away, so they got to have a holiday too. with the other dogs in our pack, it doesn't get any easier to leave them even when we FaceTime them too see how they are going, and they come running when they hear our voices its just to cute, and makes it a little easier to go on with the holiday. 

While over in the land of smiles we went to a wonderful shop called PawzBali and wow what a fantastic shop, you can find really cute outfits and even have your furkids groomed or looked after in the upstairs boarding rooms, the owners were just lovely as well as the staff, we got the furbabies some new outfits for summer, and I can't wait to dress them in their new clothes hats and bows. 

I will post the link below. Because I believe this is a must see shop if your in Kuta her is what i got the furkids.

 http://www.pawzbali.com

Our two wonderful furry babies came to the airport to pick us up and gee this time 

Miss Mildred was very excited to see us, I was shocked a last time she gave me the cold shoulder for a week, but as she is getting older she is also growing in her development, just after we got home we went to our Chihuahua play day where for the first time Miss Mildred was able to walk around with her tail high and she was confident enough to play and respond to commands yay.

This was a very big step for her as she is so shy and timid, also we had our lovely friend Lisa come over with her two Chihuahuas over to play and this intern has help Miss Mildred come out of her shell even more, I am super proud of Miss Mildred as I thought she might just stay shy and timid, but with every Chihuahua play day she has gotten better, so to all the other mums and dads of shy timid furbabies just keep up positive reinforcement and I am sure you will see the same results as I have with Miss Mildred, 

In our next big news! We finally got to meet the newest member of our pack little Soso she is my mamma's Chihuahua x Poodle and aww she is so very cute and fluffy she has been coming over every second day to play with Miss Mildred and Sir George so we can have a pack that all loves each other and knows their place in the pack, 

Miss Mildred warmed up to her within a few meetings and now they play tug and fetch together  and we are starting to command train her for my mumma, I will keep you posted with updates. and new pictures, as I had a few weeks off from blogging as I wasn't very well and when I am under the weather I can't blog as its my eyes that are the problem, Yet they are letting me get back to my blogging yay! I really enjoy doing this and helping out other furbaby mums and dads. 

So until my next blog stay safe and keep your furbabys close hug and kiss then for Miss Mildred and myself Miss Squeak, we hope to see you soon! Thanks so much for reading my little update on all the things that are new with us.

Chihuahua Tear Staining and How To Remove It.

Tear Staining, The Cause and Correction

 Brown or pinkish brown streaks on the cheeks of dogs is a common sight.  When tears overflow from the eyes, they run down the face creating wetness that provides the perfect environment for bacterial growth.  As bacteria replicate they cause skin irritation and produce pigment that stains the hair brown or pinkish brown.  In dark-coated dogs this colour change is of little consequence, but in white furbaby's tear staining is obvious.

There are two causes of tear staining.  The first is tear-duct blockage.  In the normal canine eye, tears leave the eye via two small openings called “puncta”. One is in the upper eyelid and the other is in the lower eyelid.  Once through the puncta, tear fluid enters the tear duct that carries it to the nose.  This occurs in people as well, that’s why your nose drips when you cry.

Unperforated puncta can be surgically opened but success depends on the rest of the tear-duct system being intact.

Many tear-stained dogs have a subtle eversion (turning out) of the lower eyelid, which compresses the puncta, preventing normal tear drainage.  Surgical correction of the eyelids can reverse tears overflowing in these cases.

The second cause is excess tear production, too much volume for normal tear ducts to handle.  Any eyelid deformity that causes chronic eye irritation (rubbing on the eye surface) such as an inverted eyelid or extra eyelashes along the edge of the eyelid or fur from the dog’s body, stimulates increased tear production.  Many of these conditions are simply flushed out by themselves and when this does not happen, can be corrected surgically.

If you’ve ever seen a dog with red or brown marks in the areas around and just under the eyes, you’ve seen a dog that is suffering from Tear staining . The staining can matte around the dog’s eyes and leave a gooey, thick mess that is hard to clean. Most people assume that the stains are caused by excessive moisture from the dog’s eyes and that they’re just a fact of life. In fact though, tear stains have many different causes, and figuring out the root of the problem could end up saving you some work and also improve your dog’s life.

 Ear Infections

Tear staining can be linked back to ear infections, so it’s important to keep your dog’s ears as clean and dry as possible. If you notice that your dog is getting a lot of ear infections which also coincide with excessive tearing, the two are probably related. Use a good cleansing product to make sure the ears are clean and your dog’s tear stains might be reduced as a result.

Allergies

Dogs can experience reactions to thing just like humans, and tear staining can often be a reaction to allergens or irritants. In fact, some dogs will suffer reactions to their food which will change the pH level in your dog’s system which in turn can cause excessive tearing. If you notice that your dog’s Tear stains get worse in certain situations than it might be an environmental factor that is adding to the problem.

Blocked Tear Ducts

Some dogs are born with tear ducts that are closed which need to be surgically opened by a vet, but this isn’t the only way a duct can be blocked. At times, a dog can develop clogged tear ducts which can add to excessive tearing, and unfortunately, a trip to the vet will be needed to irrigate the ducts. Luckily, this isn’t a very common problem, but if you suspect clogged tear ducts, it should be taken care of, lest your dog suffer unnecessarily.

Red Yeast

One of the biggest causes of Tear Stains is from a dog having an excessive amount of tears. This high level of moisture can keep the hair around the face wet, which then becomes an area where bacteria can breed. One of the most common forms of this bacteria is called Red Yeast, which causes a yeast infection around the eyes and leads to the brownish-red stains that you sometimes see on dogs.

 Water

Some waters contain a high mineral content, which can cause staining on a dog’s entire face and beard. A lot of moisture can remain on the face trapped in the hairs after a dog drinks, which can be moved to eye level by the dog trying to lick his face clean. And, if the mineral content is high, it will increase the level of red-brown staining on a dog’s face. If you notice both tear stains and a discoloured beard, try switching your dog’s water to combat the problem. Red or brown Tear stains are not attractive to look at, and they can be a symptom of a larger problem. If your dog has excessive staining around they eyes and on its face, it might be worth looking into what the cause of the staining is.

Most furbaby owners of small light and white dogs take great pride in keeping their furbaby spotlessly clean. You can imagine then how frustrating it is to have to deal with those annoying tear stains below the eyes.

Tear stains can occur in any breed of dog, it’s just less obvious and therefore not as big a problem on dogs with darker coats. While the tears are initially clear, bacteria can grow on the moist hair, and that’s what’s responsible for making the stains the familiar red colour.

I’ll Cry If I Want To..

There are really only two causes of epiphora, which is the scientific word for tears spilling down the face. Firstly, it can be caused by excess tear production which doesn’t drain down the tear duct. This little duct goes from the inner eyelid to inside the nasal cavity, and carries excess tears away. That’s why when you cry, you usually get a runny nose too! The tear duct is narrow, and if there are too many tears being produced, it just can’t cope with them all, and the tears trickle down the face.

Weepy eyes often occur in dogs with allergies, infections or irritation due to dust. Some dogs have eyelashes growing in unusual places, such as inside the eyelid. These will rub on the eye and cause pain and increased tear production. A similar problem occurs in short nosed breeds such as British Bulldogs or Pugs – their short nose may result in the facial skin being pushed up towards the eyes, which can also lead to hair rubbing and irritation.

The second reason tear spillage occurs is because the tear duct is blocked, and doesn’t drain tears from the eyes. This is usually a conformation, or head shape, problem. Some breeds of dog such as the Bedlington Terrier or Lhasa Apso may be born without a tear duct opening in their eyelids, so the tears can’t drain at all. Other breeds have very prominent eyes, and this doesn’t leave much space for tears to collect and drain down the tear duct. This may happen in Chihuahuas, Pekingese and similar breeds. 

Why So Sad?

If your furbaby  has a chronic tear staining problem, it’s a good idea to have him checked by your veterinarian. You need to find out if there is an underlying medical problem. Hair rubbing on the eye is painful, and may lead to more serious conditions such as an ulcer on the cornea. Infections usually need a course of antibiotics to clear them up. Stray eyelashes and skin folds which cause hair to rub on the eyes may need corrective surgery. If your dog has any of these problems, you’ll probably notice other symptoms such as squinting, or rubbing at the eye with a paw.

If your furbaby has a blocked tear duct, sometimes flushing it can help. However, because the problem with the duct is usually related to the dog’s conformation, this doesn’t often improve the situation. 

Your only real option is to control the staining.

Dry Those Tears

Your first step is to keep the hair around the eyes trimmed nice and short. This helps the hair dry out quicker and slows the growth of any bacteria.

Some vets recommend using antibiotics to control the bacteria that cause the staining. This isn’t a good long term solution because you may end up with the bacteria becoming resistant to the antibiotic. 

There has been some suggestions that changing a dog’s diet can reduce tear staining. It’s not known if the change in diet has a direct effect on the staining, or whether the tear staining is secondary to a food allergy, and the dietary change reduces the symptoms of that allergy.

There are also many anecdotal cures, such as giving your dog demineralised water to drink, avoiding foods containing beet pulp, and adding buttermilk to the diet. None of these have been proven to consistently make any difference.

Chihuahuas experience problems with tear staining at the corners of the eyes. Tear stains typically manifest in the form of dark yellow or brown stains. Such stains are typically the result of some kind of eye irritation, which may be caused by long hair, ingrown eyelids or blocked tear drainage holes. If your Chihuahua shows signs of tear stains, try a home remedy to clean them. Once you have cleaned your dog's eyes, you can take a few simple steps to prevent the stains from coming back.  

 This is what I use and do, Items you will need.

Damp Cloth, Milk of Magnesia, Corn Starch Cotton Swabs Peroxide and Ophthalmic Ointment.

Check your Chihuahua's eyes to be sure there isn't anything stuck in it, causing irritation and tearing. If your furbaby's eyes are red and swollen, or if deformities are visible, take them  to see your vet immediately.

Step 2

Wipe the area around your Chihuahua's eyes gently with a damp cloth to remove any buildup of crust around the eyes and to soften the dried stains.

Step 3

Use a cotton swab dipped in warm water if your furbaby's eyes are particularly crusted and they need a bit of extra attention to clean. This is not uncommon when you haven't been maintaining the dog's eyes regularly. Avoid making contact with your Chihuahua's eyeball, and do not apply enough pressure with the swab to cause discomfort.

Step 4

Combine equal parts milk of magnesia and peroxide with enough corn starch to make a paste. Spread a small amount of the paste on the tear stains around your dog's eyes, working it into the fur.

Step 5

Let the milk of magnesia mixture dry for up to four hours, then wash it out completely and let your Chihuahua's fur dry. Apply a thin layer of opthalmic ointment to the area around your dog's eyes after washing out the milk of magnesia mixture, to prevent irritation.

Step 6

Repeat the milk of magnesia treatment every other day for one week or until the tear stains have lifted.

Step 7

Trim the fur around your dog's eyes using a pair of blunt-nose scissors. Fur growing too close to the eye is one of the most common causes of tear stains, so trimming the fur should help prevent irritation and thus future stains from forming.

Step 8

Consult your veterinarian if excessive tear stains persist. This is what I do for Miss Mildred and it does work, But like I have said if you think there might be a problem with your fur baby's eyes and tear staining take them to the furbaby doctor and have them checked over, Because they might have a tear ducts that are blocked or maybe eye lashes causing problems.

 

  Miss Mildred and myself Miss Squeak really hope this information has helped you understand tear stains and why they can occur and what you can do to keep them at bay the trick I use works well for Miss Mildred and her fur brother 

Sir George, I also put white vinegar in the water that they drink as it helps balance the ph level in the water and another thing I use a stainless steel water bowl as I was using a red plastic bowl and was told by Miss Mildred's Furbaby Doctor that the dye might leach out in to the water hence adding to the red stain on her face, So once again I hope my blog as helped you a little more in understanding why this happens and what you can do to prevent it from getting to bad.

What Has Miss Mildred Been Up Too. Wet Windy Winter.

  

 

Hello everyone, we hope this blog finds you all happy and well, today I thought we would have a little chat about what we have been up to over the last few weeks, So its has been very wet and windy over in Western Australia, so we have been keeping warm, and as some people might already know Miss Mildred is a princess and if the ground is wet or cold she won't go outside unless she has her pink gumboots on, but then when she comes back in she wants her gumboots back off, its very funny because she will bring me her gumboots in their packet so she can have them put on to go outside, Miss Mildred knows how to get me to do things for her haha and I love every minute of it.

All the things a girl need when going to the dog park with your little furbaby, and if you look at her feet yup her pink gumboots she is a diva and a very cute one at that, soon when we do out to the park Miss Mildred will be able to get in her new pink carry bag that we were surprised with yesterday, when we were out walking a very lovely lady named Lisa popped over and hid the most beautiful pink carry bag out the front under the chair, and when I got home from walking the furbabies I walked straight past it oops! Then I got a message saying to go and look outside and wow I was so surprised and happy to receive this gift, Lisa you'r a beautiful soul, big hearted loveable lady and we are blessed to call you our friend, Below is the very first picture of Miss Mildred in her new carry bag  aww just so very cute!

  

My little chihuahua Miss Mildred is so very spoilt 

over the last few weeks she has got a few new outfits in the mail, and a new pink leather chair what more can a girl need a few new dresses a new fur coat and a new blanket, So to say she is spoilt is a understatement, do you spoil you furbaby? 

I think if I keep getting Miss Mildred more outfits she is going to need her own walk in robe soon. 

As her clothes are starting to take over I now 

have her summer stuff stored away with her winter coats and dresses hanging up, Below is a picture of her new clothes.

What do you do in the wet cold winter with your Furbaby? I find myself doing lots of training and playing on the ground with Miss Mildred and 

Sir George as its to wet to get outside and walk them as our roads flood and sometimes people driving past don't slow down and yup we get wet from the puddles, so like I said we have lots of playtime followed by some training and the furbabies love getting played with I am training Miss Mildred to know names of different toys and she know a few now and its a cute trick to show visitors that come over, Here are some more ideas 

for playing on a wet raining winter day.

How to Keep Your Dog Busy (and out of trouble) Indoors

Remember that just because you’re stuck inside doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Trying to come up with ideas on how to keep your dog busy can be more exhausting than actually getting up and doing it. So whether you’re looking for some

So whether you’re looking for some fun games to play with your dog or just some easy ways to keep your dog busy try out some of these indoor activities with your pup. They’re a simple way to help keep your dog mentally and physically active, even when indoors.

1. The Which Hand Game

If you’ve been thinking about teaching your dog some scent work games this is a great game to get you started. The only thing you’ll need is some dog treats. If you don’t have dog treats on hand you can use fruits & veggies, or make some simple dog treats of your own.

How to play the which hand game with your dog:

Place a treat in one of your hands.

Close your fists and hold them out in front of your dog.

Let the dog choose which hand it’s in.

When your dog sniffs or paws the correct hand open it up and give them the treat.

If he chooses incorrectly don’t discrouage him, it takes a few tries to catch on.

A gentle “touch” command will be helpful.

Our dogs have excellent noses but they need to learn to utilize them.

Just like us they’re used to relying on visual cues in their normal day to day activities. Simple nose work games help hone in their natural sniffing ability, and it’s a nice mental workout.

Tip: Chopped up carrots make excellent dog treats. We use them for scent work games and training. They’re low in calories, easy to prepare, and (most) dogs absolutely love them.

2. The Three Cup Game

One step up from the which hand game this game is also commonly referred to as the shell game. You place a treat under one of 3 cups and have your dog choose the correct one. Once they get the hang of it you can start mixing up the cups so they’re not just relying on visuals. Don’t let this cat put your pup to shame.

3. Play Hide and Seek With Your Dog

This is by far one of Laika’s favorite indoor games. Have your dog sit and wait while you go find a hiding spot. Call them once when you’re hidden and praise them enthusiastically when they find you.

4. Use the Stairs For a Workout

If you’re snowed in you might not have an opportunity to get in your regular amount of physical exercise with your dog. If you have stairs in your home utilize them. Have your dog follow along as you get in some exercise going up and down the stairs. If your dog isn’t clumsy you can also try playing fetch on the stairs.

5. Make a Scavenger Hunt or Play Find The Treats

Grab some smelly treats and have your dog stay while you go hide them around the house. Start with some easy hiding spots and work your way up once your dog is accustomed to using his noseWhen we started working on this game I would drag the treats along the carpet so my dog could easily pick up the scent. 

6. Fetch My Slippers/Paper

Dogs love having a job to do, even if it’s something as simple as fetching you your slippers. Make them feel extra useful by teaching them the names of some items you wouldn’t mind them retrieving for you. If you want to impress all of your friends teach your dog to fetch you something from the fridge. To make it easy on your dog tie a towel around the handle so it’s easy to pull open the door.

7. Use a Stuffed Kong For a Nice Challenge

If you’d like to keep your dog busy with a toy for awhile stuff a Kong with something yummy. You can freeze peanut butter or broth, or just put some treats inside and give your dog something to work for. There’s a ton of dog safe options.

8. Teach Your Dog The Names of Their Toys

Have you seen Chaser the Border Collie? She knows over 1,000 words and can pick out any given toy among 800 just by it’s name. We can’t all be overachievers like Chaser, but we can teach our dogs the names of their toys.

Start by playing with one specific toy and giving it a name while you do. After some practice & praise your dog will assign that verbal name with the chosen toy . Once your dog has learned that specific toys name you can test their skills by seeing if they can pick it out among their other toys. This is the game we are learning with Miss Mildred at the moment and she is doing great!

9. The “Go Find It” Game

Once your dog knows the names of some of their toys teach them the “go find it” game. Have your furbabys toys in a pile or container and tell them to “go find” their favourite toy. Keep it fun for them by rewarding them handsomely with a treat or quick game of tug when they succeed. This game will give your dog a great mental workout.

10. Master the Basics of Obedience Training

Does your furbaby know all of the basic obedience commands? Does she have a reliable recall and stay? Even well trained dogs need a refresher course now and then to keep them sharp. All dogs should have a reliable sit, down, stay, drop it, and come here. 

11. Teach Them To Say Please by Sitting

Does your dog come up to you and nudge your hand when they want something? If you don’t find this behavior desirable teach your dog that sitting politely is the key to gaining your attention. Don’t be afraid to teach your dog how to act – without guidance they develop bad manners.

Our dogs look to us for cues all the time, they like to know what’s expected of them. Reward polite behaviours handsomely, with consistency your dog will get into the habit of asking for things in a polite manner.

 We hope you all enjoyed this fun blog, we will be back to our normal information packed blogs in the next few days as I thought it would be fun to do a update on Miss Mildred and what we have been getting up too.
