Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Hope it's a good one ♥

Evie The Pomeranian!

Sometimes in life you're wandering along (or nosing round forums) when you come across something just a little bit special!
We had to do a blog post of this rising star, give it up for the insanely cute and enviably talented;

Evie!

Rae 'Woof' Hilton!

From our last post you (should) know the story of 'Skye'. Now it's time to divulge the next chapter ;)

Last night we were mooching around various sites, when we noticed a new ad, but it stuck out to us as the ad was based in our village... Literally down the road!
So out of curiosity we rang up and asked for some pictures.
Bam, in love!

We went to see the litter earlier and 1 puppy really stood out for us, by a mile...

We paid our deposit earlier today and will be picking her up January 3rd!

So, introducing Rae 'Woof' Hilton;

 Rae (7 weeks)

 Rae 'behind bars' ;D

 Rae with her sister 'Arrow' and other siblings :)

So what dya reckon Blogger?

We're all in love and maybe 'Skye' did fall through for a reason, as everyone kept telling us!

Just goes to show you shouldn't give up ♥

Bye bye Skye :(

We posted only days ago the first picture of our new addition, 'Skye' the Staffy.

We're sad to say that thanks to her 'breeder' (and we use that term loosely) that as of Christmas Eve, she will not be joining us after all.

Usually it's the breeder who gets messed around and has to deal with time wasters, this time it was us who had the misfortune of dealing with that.

Our search will continue, we're not being put off by one bad breeder!

Everyone keeps saying it's happened for a reason, so we're hoping that's true...

We'll update as soon as we have news :)

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Merry Christmas!

Just a quick post to say...

Merry Christmas!

Hope you enjoyed your day and got everything you wished for :)
Seasons Greetings from all the Hiltons ♥

Buffy's such a classy dog...

Need proof? Well look no further...

 

Enough said! 

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Skye 'Hai' Hilton! - Puppy Introduction!

So a while ago we mentioned a new addition (well, 2) to our furry family and then we posted revealing our chosen breed(s)...

Well the time has come to give you a sneak peak at our first new baby, meet 'Skye', our beautiful blue Staffy!

Sorry the picture is a little blurry, it's from the breeders camera phone lol xD

We're picking her up in the first week of January as she's only 6 weeks right now, so not too long to go!

Skye!

Skye's very handsome Daddy!

We're hoping to go and visit her asap after Christmas, so expect a tidal wave of puppy pictures!

Now for the 'Beagle search' to commence ;)

Updates soon,
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Delivery for the Hiltons!

4 days to go to Christmas now and boy are things busy!

Shopping, planning, wrapping and decorating galore.
Not to mention the ton of deliveries as the last of our things have arrived (except for Rafferty's tracksuit, not expecting that until the new year now!)

Our new food arrived today, Orijen kibble and Lukullus wet meat :)

So far the girls seem to love it, which is great as I've been wanting to switch to such a great food for a while now :D

The girls had a bath, groom and nail trim today ready for Christmas, so they're looking and smelling beautiful!
We'll take some pictures later once it's lighter and do a picture post ^^

So until then, adios!

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree....♪♫

Slightly later than planned, it's our 'Christmas tree post'! Woooo! Exciting stuff right? ;)

Seeing as we're not really sure how much crap we can chat about about tree's, festive or otherwise, we'll just post a few pictures for your enjoyment!

Yes, we know, we haven't wrapped all our presents yet, but to be fair to us the last of the girls toys arrived today and we're still waiting on Rafferty's tracksuit! So there ;D

Now for the cute stuff;

 'Chihuahua sofa stealing', a sport favoured by my girls.

 Crazy mid-wag tail! (Hugging daddy, cue ear kisses)

 OHai.

 Buffy :)

 Monroe sucking her baby blankey...

 Lily posing :)

 Upside down Buffy.

 Spot the chihuahua!

 Nose smudged camera lens...

^Our number 1 in things that make you go 'awww' :)

In other news our BSL t shirt and wrist band arrived this morning (see our original post here) and we're thrilled, time to wear them out and spread the word!

On the subject of Staffies, we found an incredible Australian based site dedicated to the breed and we're dying to order practically everything from their store!
Narrowed it down to 3 choices items though, a t shirt, a necklace and a fridge magnet :)
Shall be ordering those asap come the new year!

On that note, we shall love you and leave you!
Back soon...

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

Ban stupid people...

Not innocent dogs!

http://www.badstupidlaw.com/

If you only buy one thing this Christmas, let it be one of their t shirts or wrist bands...

Spread the word and save our furry friends!

BSL, Breed Specific Legislation or BullShit Law?

You decide.

We have our t shirt, do you have yours? 

BSL, it's time for this "law" to be abolished. For good.

A Beagle, a Staffy and a Chihuahua walk into a bar...

Ouch!

Moving on...
You may remember a while ago I did a post that mentioned the addition of 2 new Hilton doggies in early/mid 2011...
(See this post for a reminder)

Well we gave you a hint at names (although 'Kimba' has now been reserved for the future, in a year or two perhaps, for a different breed) and now we're prepared to share our choices of breeds!
Yes, breeds, plural ;)

At the grand old age of 21, Jonny is finally getting his 'own' dog (the girls are our dogs, but lean a little more towards being mine if I'm honest) so he will be getting a Beagle!

He first fell in love with the breed after I showed him a film called 'Shiloh' and of course the childhood classic 'Cats vs Dogs'.

After months and months of research and deliberation we've decided he will have one, as his 21st birthday present from myself :)
This will be 'Cinder'.

Around the same time, I will be looking to bring a second puppy into our hearts and our home, in the form of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier!
I knew a few Staffies growing up and they hold a place in my heart with their chunky build, 'nanny dog' ways and cheeky personalities :)

We're throwing a few names around for my (our, no doubt) Staffy and closer to the time we'll probably do a poll to get some opinions, but at the minute our list consists of;
Harley, Kizzy, Gypsy, Skye, Kinver, Bronx and Cali.

Both will of course be female, 'Cinder' will be a tri colour Beagle (not so fond on the lemon and white variety) and our Staffy, well, we're leaning towards a black one but time will tell and personality rules all for us ;)

That's all we have to say for ourselves for now, so until we next post...
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily!

Daddy's Corner; Here at last!

After months of deliberation (begging), planning (on my part) and a final nudge in the right direction (read as shove) 'Daddy's Corner' is finally up and running!

Check it out!

:)

Christmas List Extension... (Dear Santa Paws 2)

A few days ago we did a post showing everything we've ordered (or in the case of Lily, will be ordering) for Christmas 2010 :)

Now, everything was ordered and that was that, but... we started having a nosey on some sites and well, things just, snowballed? o.o

We snuck the 'orbee snowball' into the original 'Santa Paws' post a day or two ago, but our newest purchases might just be a bit too noticable ;)

So, here's what's been added;

 The 'Hunter Snack Cage'

 The 'Hunter Snack Bottle'

An 'xxl' rope dumbell (this is about as big as Buffy)

'Pet Care Plush Cube'

'Kong Stuff'n Paste' (x2) (1 Peanut Butter & 1 Liver flavour)*

'Healthy Hounds Tasty Treats' (x2) (Beef & Veg)

And a few grooming items...

 'Furminator Shampoo and Conditioner Solutions'

 'Furminator DeLuxe' (Dog, Toy, Long)

'Microfibre Pet Towel' (x2)

Now that is absolutely it, no more presents! Eesh!

We're thinking of doing a toys inventory once everything has arrived...

That's all for now, but we'll be back soon with a christmas tree post hopefully!

Love & licks as ever,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe and Lily.

*The 'Kong Stuff'n' is for our existing 'Kong' toys :)
