Honeys story

After having Zac for a few months we thought maybe it would be nice to get him a sister so we started searching for a girl when looking they were all way over my budget so we decided we would just have too wait but one evening i was looking on the puppy sites when i came across an add for 3 girl chihuahua pups and the price i could afford so i sent an email thinking the add had been up for a while so i thought they would prob be gone a few days latter i received an email saying the pups were still available and i got so excited i called the breeder and asked about the pups she said it was a litter of 3 girls one tricolour and 2 sable pups as zac was a red sable i decided to go for something different and asked if she could send me pics and that i was interested in the tricolour she sent me a picture of honey and her sister well when the pic came to my phone that was it i knew she was to be mine i fell in love with her there and then she was so cute i phoned back and confirmed that i was taking the tricolour pup and when i could pic her up she was already 12 weeks when i called and had all vaccinations so was ready to go whenever i wanted to collect her so i arranged to collect her on the Tuesday i was so excited and couldn't sleep leading up to collection well Tuesday came and me and my friend got ready to go it was so much fun and the breeder was about an hours drive from me so we arrived to the kennels where honeys breeder lived she bred a showed bedliington terriers there were quite a few of them around i had never seen this bred of dog before and me and my friend found the quite funny looking we thought they looked like sheep lol well we met with Lorraine honeys breeder and she took me though to the office where a playpen was set up and in it were 3 beautiful puppies one of which was honey i lifted her out and she clung too me like glue the breeder explained to me that she would need socialising as they had not been handled a lot but i loved the way she snuggled in with me so i paid for her and headed home she was just the cutest when we got home she was very shy and hid a lot she also wanted to cuddle in with zac a lot but zac wasn't sure and he kept moving away from her i guess she was used to snuggling in with her litter mates but zac wanted his own space so i let her snuggle with me witch caused her to form a close bond with me maybe too close as she would get very anxious if i left her alone her and zac did become great friends in the end and i love having my sweet little girl.

Beautiful Buster

After Jayjay died the kids wanted another pet so we went to the pet store, and they picked out a beautiful silver and white long haired guinea pig, they decided to call him Buster. He was beautiful and so friendly, we had hamsters before and the kids could not handle them as they were too fast, this was not the case with buster he was so tame and loved to sit on your lap and be petted or groomed, he was a really great pet for them and Dane adored him. I would recommend guinea pigs as pets to anyone, he was no bother at all. He was kept in the dining part of out kitchen in his cage and whenever he herd the fridge door open he would squeak squeak squeak because he knew that is where we kept the lettuce it was so funny.

When we got Zac we put them together, Buster looked bigger than Zac, at first Zac was fearful of this cute furry thing lol but we kept socializing them together and they became great friends. Zac would often jump into Busters cage it was so cute watching them together.

On January 2009 we went into busters cage to clean it out and i noticed he looked different, the sparkle had gone from his eyes and he had lost a lot of weight he had not been eating or drinking, so i got a syringe and started giving him fluids, things looked quite bad and i was so worried for him. When i woke that next morning he was out of his bed and looked like he was perking up a bit, i kept giving him the fluids that day and was going to visit my mum in hospital that evening so checked on Buster, before i went and gave him some fluids. On the way back from the hospital we stopped and got something to eat. When we got back home i went to check on Buster he was not around so i put my hand into his bed and my worst fears were confirmed he felt cold and hard, our gorjuss wee guy had sadly passed away i didn't know how i was going to tell the kids, and chickened out in telling them till the next morning. Dane took it sooo bad he was really upset as he truly loved this pet, but buster will always have a special place in our lives just as Jayjay had.

OUR ZACS STORY

Well this is the story of how Zac came into our lives, the kids had been asking for another dog ever since the tragedy with our Jayjay but i kept saying no. I got them a guinea pig but hey that's another story we will get onto soon. Anyway my daughter Dionne had been looking at dogs on the Internet and asking could we get another dog i wasn't to sure on the idea and didn't think i could handle another dog but you know what kids are like she went on and on about them it was October 2008 and we were discussing Christmas presents and Dionne said all i want is a chihuahua, i thought were did this come from a chihuahua but she was adamant it was a chihuahua and said she wanted nothing else, by this time i was coming round to the idea of another dog and with looking and reading about chihuahuas i was beginning to search for one for Dionne. I came across some adds scammers for sure finally i decided to go onto the kennel club website to be sure i wasn't being scammed the nearest breeder from me was 2 hrs drive, so i called to see what she had available she told me she had some cream females which she was selling for £950 that was way over my budget as i only had managed to save up £500 but looking at adds i could tell it was going to be hard finding a pup for this price so i told her i would have to leave it, she told me she had a red boy she would be willing to let go for £750 she sent me a picture of him and my oh my he was a cutie but still way over the amount i had.
I spoke to my mum and told her this and how i was going to have to disappoint her little princess Dionne now this could not happen in my mums eyes Dionne is her angel and she gives her what she wants most of the time, so that was that my mum said get back on the phone and see if she still has the little boy by this time it was November and i arranged with the breeder to pic Zac up on the 5Th of November i was now getting nervous about the decision and wondering if i was jumping into this without thinking, but there was no going back as dionne was so excited about her early Christmas present so we got in the car and drove the 2 hrs to get our little bundle it was Guy Fawkes night here in the UK and fireworks where being let of all around us my thoughts were is our little bundle going to e scared of all the loud banging anyway we arrived at the breeder and collected this little brown looking tiny fluff ball, ohhh he was such the cutest little thing you've ever seen and oh my so much smaller than i thought he was going to be. We drove home again by this time it was 10 o'clock at night we got him home and settled him in thinking he would be shy but his cheeky personality shone through straight away and i knew there and then
i was in love with this wee guy he is just the sweetest and cheeky little man and every body loves our wee Zacyboy<3

Our Introduction and All about Jayjay

Well time to introduce our family and how we became the family we are I am Mandy and I have 2 beautiful children Dionne and Dane I love them dearly they are really great kids and I think myself so lucky to have them.

I will start from when we decided to add a dog to our family. I had always wanted a dog my whole life from a child but I was not allowed I don’t know why as I had every other pet imaginable cats ,hamsters ,fish, turtles , birds every other pet but a dog so I decided my kids Dionne and Dane would have a dog , so I thought what kind of dog would suit our family Dionne at the time was 7years old and Dane was 2years old I really wanted a small breed dog as my house is not that big inside, although I had a wonderful garden for it to run around in, I seen in an advertisement a lhaso apso that needed rehoming so I called to enquire about it I was told the dog was not going be suitable for a home with kids so that did not work out for me, then I decided it was definitely a rescue dog I wanted and we went to visit our local shelter so one morning we got in the car and headed to the shelter to see what was available for us we walked around and I picked out a few small dogs that I liked but every dog I picked were unsuitable for homes with children, so I asked what would be suitable and was told it would need to be a puppy and they only had 1 puppy and they didn’t know when it would be ready to go because it had been found in a bad way and was still undergoing treatment, they were not allowed to rehome it till it was back to health but I could have a look and if I wanted it and was able

to pay the fee I could book him, so we went to see this wee pup and ohhh how cute and sad looking he was his eyes where really badly infected I asked what kind of dog he was and was told he looked like a collie/Labrador cross, oh was he going to grow to big I thought but felt so sorry for him we had to take him he was 10 weeks old when we first saw him we went to visit him constantly while he was getting better and he was soo sweet pure black and so cute.

Well a month passed and we finally got the call to say we could collect him whenever we wanted so without further ado we were off in the car to go and collect our new baby, in the car we were discussing names I picked Bobo Dionne picked Ozzy and Dane who was only 2 loved TV programme jayjay the jet plane shouted from his car seat jayjay, so we got to the shelter to get our new boy who was now 14 weeks old and had grown so fast but was still so cute but boy he was hyper I suppose being stuck in a kennel for the first few months of his life he thought to himself freedom when we got home we settled him down and put the 3 names in a hat that we had chosen the name that was picked out was Jayjay, the kids loved him so much and he was great with them they would dress him up ride on his back and he never once got annoyed at them. He loved wotsits human food snacks as I found out one day when I came home from shopping to find all the crisps lying on my kitchen floor unopened but when I looked in his dog bed I found 12 empty packets of wotsits he knew what he liked.

He was a great natured dog but he was so hyper and he escaped constantly I was forever driving around looking for him when he managed to dig holes under the fence to make his escape, 4 years later he made one of his escapes I was looking for him and tried all the usual places I would find him but to no avail I though he will come home on his own so waited up all that night hoping he would come barking at the door but nothing, the kids were so upset next morning I got the dreaded phone call from the rspca telling me they had found Jay jay at the side of the road not far from where we lived it must have happened late at night and with him being black the car might not have seen him. He was found by someone early that next morning i was so sad to think my poor boy died at the side of the road alone and blamed myself saying I shouldn’t have gave up looking for him the kids were devastated we cried for days in fact as imp typing this the tears and falling I loved this dog so much he was my first ever dog and I vowed he would be my last as I could not go through the pain of losing like that again
