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.

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.

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!
