Are you using the Pro 10 inch loom or the smaller Reg 7 inch most of the time?
Have you tried attaching several together for a hot pot table mat

I use the 10 inch most if the time. I did start on a set of squares to attach together into a bedspread, just takes a bit over 100 squares. so that's a project.

But I do plan on making sets of table placemats, but I want to make a larger loom to do them on, if I can't find one reasonably priced.

It made me laugh because my husband manages a building supply warehouse. I told him to watch out for the woodchucks chucking his wood. Now he's texting it to his big boss

Great idea for the recipe! Or there may even be another good quality food that would work that could be bought. All kinds of freeze dried and powdered stuff now. I’m always amazed at how expensive those prescription foods are when most of them are totally awful ingredients! Always seemed a bit weird to me.

And you used to breed Chihuahuas!? Always amazes me how many people on here bred and/or showed dogs haha

I love Chihuahuas.

I think they unfairly get a bad rep.



You want another one!?

I've never met one I like until tonight, I honestly haven't met many face to face. Only a few and they bugged me but Usuallytheir owners did too so that may be the problem those ones were really Yippy and it bugged me. Jolene is a quarter Chihuahua, but she acts like a jack Russel but she's mouthy like a Yorkie and Chihuahua.

My mom's Yorkie drives me bananas. He's a little jerk. She had a min pin and that thing was wild too!

I don't have one of the table mats, but my Grandma Viola would crochet four of the hot pads together and then crochet a decorative edge around the square.

She also made a bigger frame by hammering evenly spaced finish nails into a square wooden frame. Then for loops to fit the larger frame, she cut up our cotton t-shirts and sewed the fabric back together to cut the loops. Have to pay attention to the amount of stretch needed. To get the colors she wanted, she used Rit dye.

Some small dogs just have horrible temperaments. Our oldest daughter has a Chihuahua mix that barks the whole time we visit...simply will not shut up. She admits she didn't train her consistently.

When we had them we had really good show/great temperament bloodlines...no yippy yappy bug-eyed fearful shaking puppy mill Chihuahuas in the lot.
Ours were AKC registered. They were sweet loving personality dogs. We had both short coat apple head and long coat deer head. Our 3 bitches each had one litter a year. Our 2 studs were used only with our breeders. They were house dogs and adored by our children.

Does it look like this?

It is similar. The base of the bell area is more narrow. I wish there were some identifying markings on it. That would help. I’m truly not expecting it to be worth anything. I just wish I knew the age and history of it.

A lot of people don't train their dogs. Jolene listens very well, all of my dogs do. Lucy the beagle is not blessed in the brains department. She learned stay and sit at age 4 after that I was good with how she acted. She's a lazy dog pretty much.

Molly my Puggle can sit, stay, shake, high five, speak, lay down, and everyone pretty much loves her. Anabelle can do the same stuff too.

Lucy I just feel bad for because I had to teach her how to play. She was an ignored outdoor dog and didn't even know what a dog toy was. She used to bite incredibly hard when we would play, but we got her out of that.

Yeah, a lot of small dogs are awful lol but personally I think that’s cause a lot of the people that own them are too

Or at least don’t train them and spoil them sooo much. Also I think most people get their little dogs from pet stores/puppy mills so not the best temperaments to begin with.

Yeah, I think a lot of people think little dogs don’t need to be trained for some reason or think certain behaviors are “cute” when it would never be tolerated with a big dog.

Yours sound amazing and you sound like a great breeder.

Wish more people bred little dogs like that and/or bothered to train them... they’d have a lot better reputation!!

They sound awesome!! I love them.

And I love teaching tricks.

Libby knows quite a few as did Gator. Frank.. not so much lol but I also haven’t taken the time with him really. He does know all his basic obedience commands as well as daily stuff like “in the bed”/go lay down, “in the house”, leave it, etc. and wave. Working on heel LOL
