Hi all... My husband and I are going on a cruise in a couple weeks and my father is coming to pet sit for us. He's never taken care of the chins before, and he's not very computer literate at all so I can't tell him to come here if he has any questions. I worry that while we're out at sea, he...

I'm looking for someone who sells PVC tubes without the fleece covers. I was offering them through my website, but I've recently developed tendonitis on my hands that's making certain things impossible. One of those things is muscling my way through PVC pipes with a hacksaw. I'm trying to see if...

I know, I know... another fleece question... but I got my girls in the early Spring, and I've yet to deal with the problem I'm dealing with now. I know you're not supposed to use fabric softeners on your fleece when you wash it, but is there any way to deal with the static electricity without...

Well, one is fighting and the other is wondering what she did wrong. *sigh* Earlier tonight, Cissy kept going after Bella: charging her, sitting up and boxing her, nipping at her, grunting at her, humping her. I seperated them in the cage and she stopped for a while. I gave them each a blue...

My husband's job had a cutest pet contest and he submitted all 4 of ours, both dogs and both chin girls. (submission closed before our latest addition.) I'm not sure what kind of pets were submitted aside from the usual cats and dogs, but my Narcissa took it! It was a charity thing. It was a...

This has been one of those weeks. We lost my father in law on Tuesday, so everyone has been a bit on edge. Now, I know my husband just lost his dad, but I'm really close to smacking him anyway... Tonight we went out to dinner, and when we came home, the house was up to 75. I'm trying not to...

I like to make toys for my chins, but am curious what kind of wire to use. More specifically, a brand name and a place to buy it.

Do girls ever hump other girls? I've had my girls for about five months now and tonight, Cissy keeps mounting Bella from behind. They're five years old and came to me bonded. This is the first time I've seen this and I thought I'd better ask.

This is the chin formerly known as "Chinzilla." Cute name, but tradition says I must name all my chins after Harry Potter characters, more specifically, Slytherins. So now, meet Severus aka: Sevy-Poo. He is a total sweetie! And yes, he will have the same owls as his big "sisters" do. :)

Yesterday we adopted a 10ish month old chin from a member here who couldn't keep him. He spent the night hanging out on a full length shelf I made for him, and I thought, wow, he's nice and quiet. I gave him some scritches and he ate it all up, and I thought, wow, he's so affectionate! My girls...

Ok, so I've have my girls for about five months now. They both came with a few small mats on what I guess you would call their lower back/rear end above the tail area. I noticed that Bella had less, but they were a bit larger, and Cissy has a bunch of what I would call little ones. I only notice...

This week I started giving my girls regular playtime every night. I felt they were finally to the point where they trusted me enough to come out and play. It's been going well. The first night (Monday) only Bellatrix would come out, but by Tuesday, both were out. I didn't take many pics because...

Last night I felt ambitious and rearranged the girls' cage and made them a bunch of new toys. I worried for a moment that they might be angry with me for messing with their stuff, but as it turns out, they acted like 5 year olds at Disneyland! They wore themselves out so much that instead of...

I haven't been on much lately, but I just uploaded a bunch of pics to flickr, so I thought I'd post some here. The girls have adjusted quite well after being here for the last five months, and I just love them to pieces. There's more pics of Narcissa, simply because she doesn't seem to mind the...

Ugh... I didn't realize that a toy I bought at Petsmart had peanuts hidden inside one of the vine balls and I just caught Cissy nomming on one. I took it from her, much to her dismay and cleared out the rest of them. She ate at least one peanut and some of the shell before I realized what she...

I'm sure this has been asked a million and one times, but I'm still new ;) Has anyone had the chin spin AND the silver surfer? If so, which was quieter? I have the girls in the living room, so they aren't where we sleep. Problem is I'm a night owl, so the loud spinning tends to cut through my...

I've had my girls for a week and a half now, and they've been offered their dust bath four times now. The first time, Bellatrix hogged it. The second, Narcissa hogged it. So I offered two containers, and that seems to have solved the hogging problems. My question is... How long do they need to...

For those of you who hve a FN and make your own shelves and ledges, what size hardware do you get? I was at Home Depot last night, considering getting supplies to make a couple full width shelves, and my head was spinning. The washers were either 1 1/4" or 1 1/2... I couldn't figure out if the 1...

Just thought I'd share my other babies with everyone. I'm a tad biased, but they're pretty much the cutest dogs ever. Kelsi is my shih tzu and Cody is the Pomeranian/Maltese mix.

I adopted two lovely ladies this past weekend after finding them through a member (Mt Zion Chins) here, and it was the best decision I've ever made. I fell in love with them at first sight, and I am so happy to have them home with me. I'm really happy with my decision to adopt rather than buy. I...
