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!

Return of the Hiltons!

So it's been well over a month since we last posted! Tut!
Terrible we know :(

So much has gone on since then, all sorts of milestones with the puppies, Alfie leaving, Buffy had her 2nd Birthday and the decision was made to add 2 new furbabies to our family!

So to break it down, Lily and Alfie are just over 11 weeks old now and such characters :)
(We'll get some snaps of them together tonight and do a picture post)

Alfie left us a few weeks ago now and is more than settled at my dads house bless him ^^
He's growing up to be such a handsome boy, just like his daddy!

Lily definitely looks a lot more like Rafferty, she has exactly the same markings under her chin, lol.

Buffy had her 2nd birthday on the 28th, so Happy (belated) Birthday Buffy! ♥

And yes, you read that correctly, 2 new members will be added to the Hilton clan, although we're not looking to get them until early-mid 2011 :)

This time they will be a slightly "bigger" addition ;)
Breed info to come soon, we're keeping it a secret for now!
Gotta have a bit of mystery you know ;)

We are prepared to give you a little tit bit though, so their names will be - Kimba and Cinder :)

Hope you enjoyed our return, we'll be back later with pictures and maybe a sneaky video!

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