This little piggy stayed home,
And this little piggy got trimmed,
Because it was overgrown!
Okay, so that sucked, but the moral of the story, er rhyme, is that the pups had their nails cut today ^^ they were so good! :)
Exciting stuff we know ;) buttt that's all we have for now :(
However! We have a huge picture post coming in oh, less than 24 hours now ^^
Until then, major love from the Hiltons!
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Alfie!

Just a quick BB blog post to say...
That we're all doing well :)
Lily and Alfie had their 3 week 'birthday' on Sunday, they've started on 'proper' food of mushed up rusks :)
So far they're doing well, getting stuck in, literally! Messy tykes ^^
They (along with mummy Rafferty) went to see the vet Monday and all got a clean bill of health :)
The vet actually commented on how well the puppies were doing, so proud grins all round xD
We've also cracked open the Sherleys worming syrup for the puppies and have given the big girls their dose of Panacur, so we're sorted on the worming front for 2 weeks now at any rate :)
That's all our news for now really, we've been taking tons of pictures, which we'll post on the 1st, as soon as the internet is running again!
So until then,
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Alfie.

Updates, reviews, news and opinions? (Christmas Competition!)
We'll start with the updates shall we? :)
So all the girls (and Alfie) are doing well, Lily's eyes are fully open today, whilst poor Alfie only has one open! He looks like he's winking and we keep calling him a pirate xD We'll post pictures of them tomorrow when we have decent light to work with, but we dare say his second eye will be open by then :(
Other than that, (edging towards reviews now) we had a lot of packages come today from hyperdrug and bonniedog :)
From hyperdrug we had 2 boring items, some Royal Canin puppy milk and Sherleys puppy wormer, but we also had a fleecey Kong "Snugga Wubba", a Kong toy that I've now forgotten the name of >.<, a Kong puppy teething bone and a Jolly Teaser Ball, plus some Coachies puppy training treats xD
From bonniedogs we had an EzyDog harness and lead in chocolate brown (for Monroe).
All in all very pleased, the Kong Snugga Wubba went down a storm, as did the Coachies and the EzyDog harness and lead are proving a sound investment :) (We're ordering one for the rest of the girls too, but decided to order only one to begin with to try the size out on them all :) Sadly even the smallest size, adjusted as much as possible is still too big for teeny tiny Rafferty, so we'll have it altered once we receive it!)
Now the news and opinions part of this post are kinda rolled into one!
We here at "AHWTH" have been thinking about running a "Christmas Competition" and want to hear your opinions! We'll pop a poll below this, along with some idea of the kind of prizes and rules we'd have for the competition, as well as any restrictions or special requests :) Feel free to vote or email me with suggestions!
So, seeing as we loved them so much, we thought as prizes we'd offer the following*;
1st place = 1 EzyDog Harness and EzyDog Vario2 Training Lead, in a size** and colour of your choice, currently retailing at a total of £28.98.
2nd place = A Kong "Snugga Wubba" in blue or pink and a 300g jar of Coachies (puppy or adult), which are currently £7.94 for both.
3rd place = A goodie bag of sweets and treats containing a 75g bag of Coachies, a 50g bag of Fish4Dogs Super Stars Training Treats and a 325g bag of Burns Keltie Treats, altogether retailing at the bargain price of £3.18!
*Plus a few bits we've yet to try actually!
**Price does vary according to size, we calculated with the price of the X Small.
How to enter!
Step 1 = Subscribe ;)
Step 2 = Send us a picture of your beloved furbaby! (And you, if you so desire :P)

Picture Post! (2 weeks old)
At least these are on time, eh! ;)
Little Lily :)
Looks like a second minky moo!
Chocolate button nose! *awww*
(You can just about see her eyes starting to open here!)
Not so little man; Alfie ^^
Having a crawl :)
Handsome boy!
So there we have it :) They're growing nicely and starting to look more like chihuahuas, rather than mini moles xD
I think we're all really excited and looking forwards to their eyes opening and them starting to toddle round, which hopefully shouldn't be too long now at all :)
We don't really have any news right now, but will be sure to blog after their vet check (which should be Tuesday).
Until then, over and out ^^
Love and licks as always,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Alfie.
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Alfie.
Bloopers ahead!
Unlike her half sister and "twin" Monroe, Miss Lily is not proving to be a natural infront of the camera!
Er... "smile"?
Yeah... lets try another angle... o.o
We're putting it down to the flash going off, but Lily seemed to prefer pulling faces to posing, unlike her older sisters and model mentors! xD
(Overdue) Picture Post!
So here are the long overdue and awaited pictures of Lily and Alfie at 1 week old :)
Proving they have the xfactor! ;)
Snuggly buggly (L)
Sadly that's all I have, damn camera, I do have a video that I shall try and post asap, but running off a dongle right now, so uploading is awful! :(
Also, as you may or may not notice, "Silver" is now decidely more mink! We think she's going to be Monroes twin :) I'll post some pics I took earlier today of them, and you'll see it even more :)
More to come!

Couture Number 4!
Long time no blog post! Terrible we know, but we're free now :)
So after (very) nearly 2 weeks, 'Silver' finally has a name :)
Drum roll please!
She will now be known as... Lily Armani :)
Let's see if it sticks! ^^
Picture post of the pups at a week old later (seeing as they're 2 weeks tomorrow it'll be a picture post double bill!)
We might post a short video clip too :)
That's all for now folks, see you later!
Love and licks as always,

Puppy Picture Post!
Here's a few new pics of our babies :)
Plenty more to come no doubt!
Also, a huge thank you to Chris and Marie, for all their help and support, and to everyone else for all their congratulations!
Plenty more to come no doubt!
Here's our little man!
Alfie again :)*
Our girl, currently called "Silver" (L)
Little lady having a stretch :D
The happy little family <3
Checking her babies :) (L)
Abusing, ahem, I mean loving mummy!
That'll have to do for now folks, but we'll post weekly pics to show their progress and when they start toddling round rather than army crawling, I'll record a short video or two :)
Love & licks from midwoofs Rio and Jonny, superstar mummy Rafferty and proud sisters/aunties Buffy and Monroe and not forgetting the babies :)
*The little boy (who is going to my dad and step mum) currently has no name, so for now he's our little man :) Edit; His name is now Alfie :)
P.s For anyone who didn't know, Silver will be staying with us, after the labour (which I will post about in more depth in a few days, when we're all ready) was not ideal or happy at times, and we've put too many feelings in to let them go elsewhere.
Also, a huge thank you to Chris and Marie, for all their help and support, and to everyone else for all their congratulations!

What's in a name? (And picture post)
L-R Baby girl, baby boy and proud mummy Rafferty ♥
We're toying with the idea of naming the boy something meaning lucky and the girl something meaning survivor or fighter :)
Any suggestions, feel free to give us a shout ^^
Congratulations Rafferty! (Labour Day)
All is over and done, we have 1 beautiful boy and 1 gorgeous girl.
The little boy is looking like a tri colour, with some silver shading and the girl is a silver and white, stunning little things both of them.
Mum and pups are doing really well, it was a long hard labour, but she did it herself with only a little help with breaking the sacs and only one shot of oxytocin to help her after the first 2.
We're all very proud!
Pictures to come later/tomorrow :)
Sadly we did lose 1 puppy, a blue and white little girl, we're all very upset about it, but we know nature isn't always fair.
RIP baby girl, a.k.a Angel ♥
Love & licks from midwoofs Rio and Jonny, superstar mummy Rafferty and proud sisters/aunties Buffy and Monroe.
P.S How's this for freaky, the silver and white girl was born after midnight, technically for us she was born on labour day! (For America) How patriotic! ;)

Big woofs, Little woofs... Midwoofs? o.o
So the clock is ticking, Rafferty is due any day now! Better brush up on our "midwoofery" skills eh!
She settled into her whelping box nicely and all our supplies are ordered, due infact to arrive over the next 2 days :)
It's a waiting game now, so fingers crossed everyone, we'll be sure to update as soon as we know anything new ^^
Oh and between you, us and the blogpost, 3 may become 4... o.o
Call it sentimentality (with emphasis on the mental!), but the idea of not keeping back one of the first Hilton puppies seems a tad unthinkable, but nothing is set in stone yet :)
More to come soon!
Love & licks from midwoofs Rio and Jonny, mummytobe Rafferty and proud sisters/auntiestobe Buffy and Monroe.
xoxo
P.s We'll post pictures of Rafferty and her whelping box tomorrow, if our camera stops being silly! xD
Note; For anyone concerned (or being picky) I'll have both my mother on hand (who breeds, shows and grooms) and either Simon or Marie, both of whom have many years of experience with toy breeds and chihuahuas specifically in Maries case (you may remember her as Monroes breeder) :) We have a vetinary practice close by and have informed them of Raffertys pregnancy, should we have to use their services, in or out of hours. We're as prepared as we can be! (Plus myself and Jonny have been present at labours before and have helped with hand feeding, so all should be well.)
