I Love My Chihuahua - Spaw Day!

We all love our Chihuahuas

 

What better way to show how much we love them than to give them a special day to pamper them?

How about some perfume and candy just for Chihuahuas?

  

 What have we planned? (TBD)

~ Nail Clippings

~ Ear Cleanings

~ Scent Sprays (perfume)

~ Nail Polish

~ Special Treats (Doggy chocolates/carob)

~ Planned Special guest vet (to be confirmed) to discuss chihuahua health

Our member Renee (Tootsie's mom) works as a groomer and will provide nail clippings and ear cleanings (thanks Renee!).   Our other new member, Sara is also a groomer and will provide nail clippings as well (thanks Sara).  Laura (Tequila's mom) owns Doggie Digs and will provide scent sprays and nail polishing for the chihuahuas (thanks Laura!).  We will bring our space massager for those chihuahuas that want a mini massage.  We are still confirming a local vet visit to speak to the group - tbd - we should know soon. 

South Suburban Chihuahua is currently sponsoring several chihuahuas at TLC Animal Shelter - please help by bringing in any of the following items:

~Paper towels
~Kitty litter
~Canned dog food
~Semi-moist dog food
~Canned cat food
~Lemon scented Pine sol
~Palmolive dish soap

~ Blankets 
~$$$  - your dollars!

A few things for your Chihuahua's health & safety:
~We always have fresh water available
~If you bring a treat, always ask owners before feeding other Chihuahuas -allergies!
~Please skip the meet if your dog is ill, in heat or has had recent surgery
~Please wear a leash until inside the play area
~Please keep an eye on your chihuahuas at all times
~Please clean up after your chihuahua

 

What happens at the meet?
Basically, we stand around while the chihuahuas play 'with each other.' We do not force them to socialize, we let them manage this on their own. Most chihuahuas get along very well with each other. Most new chihuahua members are shy the first few meets - this is quite normal. After a while most venture out on their own and make new friends! Some play, some sniff around, some just hang out and watch everyone else. They are all different.

Please check the site before you leave your house to make sure it hasn't cancelled. You are also welcome to call us if you have questions [masked]

PLEASE NOTE: All of those planning to attend must provide a proof copy of the rabies/distemper and bordatella for entry. They make no exceptions as they want to ensure our pets are safe from disease. Please bring a copy with you to give to the facility which will be saved for future meets

    Does the brand of dog food matter?

    Thanks to everyone who attended we collected $52 for the shelter and some items they can use. Also want to thank Renee, Sarah (and Dino's mom) and Laura for donating their time, efforts and equipment to make our spaw day a success. We certainly could not have done it without you!). Thanks to everyone who brought coffee and treats and also for helping my mommy clean up -- THANK YOU! WOOF!
