Female Chihuahua 9 weeks old

Hope you all had a great holiday and will continue to enjoy 2010. I was so truly blessed in 2009, having met so many Chihuahua lovers, I found wonderful forever homes for 9 puppies.

In November we had 2 new litters, another 9 puppies. Wow this was my first year with puppies during Christmas. What a challenge, but we all came through it.

Actually, 2 were already adopted but I agreed to keep them till the 1st. I couldn’t imagine throwing a new puppy into the chaios normally associated with this time of year, and for us whether we had 7 or 9 puppies it made no difference.

If you haven’t seen these little guys visit Patz-Dogs.com. they are just now 9 weeks and ready to go.

Our Chihuahua are part of our family, so I did have to do a little extra housekeeping. I didn’t want any choking on ornaments or candy left laying around by the grandchildren, I had to make sure they were not played with too much; at only 2 pounds they definately tire out quickly.

I also had to make sure they had a quiet room to go too, (the puppies, not the grandchildren) but all told they were excellent. I like to have my puppies litter box trained, you can learn how to do this here litter box training, those that got it did great, those that haven’t yet, well they will require a litter more consistant scheduling, begin again in 2010.

With everything said and done our whole family including Chihuahua had a wonderful Christmas.

Love Your Business

November 17th, 2009

Business success has many variables. One variable that is especially important is your attitude.

I can honestly say “I Love my Chihuahua business because, I honestly Love Chihuahuas “.

Raising and breeding Chihuahuas definately presents me with challenges but they are always there to give me what I need at the moment.

Whether it be a distraction by a funny action that makes me laugh, or having to break up a doggy dispute. Mostly they just sit in my lap (sometimes more than one).

What ever your business is, it’s sucess or failure has a lot to do with how you view it, and your attidude. Read the rest of this entry »

Work at Home Review

November 15th, 2009

Patricia Ellison, CEO

Patricia Ellison, CEO

Today is a day of review, which just happens to be the name of my blog!

I’ve been a mother for 42 years (my oldest son). Yep, my first company was formed 44 years ago. I was what they call a silent partner back in those days (in reality I was a wife). My first role was to take care of the house, the children and of course the Boss!

Then the company had a slight problem and we went through a major re-organization (in other words a Divorce). All of the sudden I was CEO; my duties remained taking care of the children and the house but I no longer had to worry about or take care of the Boss.

I have never been afraid of a challenge and I was determined to keep the new company on track, I incorporated several income streams over the years – none of which involved the computer or internet.

With children there is no how to manual, its basically a learn as you go. Each child brought new challenges and new learning opportunities (still not sure who learned the most THEM or ME). I did go on to form a new life partnership which has lasted 34 years. Along with it more opportunities to learn, 8 children altogether.

Our last child turned 14 I knew I was on the home stretch. Wait a minute, what will I do with all my free time, what will be my new challenges, where will my learning opportunities come from? With determination and motivation I formed a new company, (no I didn’t get a divorce) this one was a business and it would produce income using my computer and the internet.

Remember I said there were no manuals for children, well there are hundreds of manuals for starting a business each saying pretty much the same thing.

  • Are you a visual learner like me?
  • Do you have determination and motivation?
  • Do you know what’s holding you back?
  • For me it was not knowing how to put it all together to produce the income I wanted. I had been scouring the internet and found many helpful Internet marketers like Telleman Knudson, Shawn Casey and Matt Bacak just to mention a few. All very successful and each offers good solid information.

    Then I came across Stephen Pierce, the author of Making Real Money On The Internet, and ordered his free book. Very good information, he provided all the visual learning I needed to put it all together and re-enforced my motivation and determination. I was so impressed I joined his Ambassador program and can honestly promote his home study course.

    Stephen Pierce brought me through some of the hurdles I was facing, your hurdles may be different so you do your own investigating and decide who’s the right coach for you.

    “It Takes Just As Much Time To Stay Broke As It Does To Earn $100,000 Per Month.” Stephen Pierce

    I recommend you check out Stephen Pierce MakingRealMoneyOnTheInternet.com I am sure you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was!

    This pretty much sums up my review, except to say I consider myself a success. I have raised 8 wonderful children and own 3 profitable businesses and one day I may retire BUT not yet!

    Wishing you happiness and success

    Pet Christmas Shopping

    November 14th, 2009

    The holidays can be a busy, chaotic time; but also a very special time when we give gifts to the special ones in our lives and receive gifts as well. Now, some of those gifts are just what we wanted, others may not be as special but are warmly received none the less.

    For a pet owner it can be a pretty scary time, with all the forbidden chocolate candies laying around, or the small toys received in a child’s stocking that an be chewed on and possibly chocked on. And then there’s the lights that flash and blink so beautifully,(consider a cord protector).

    Run A Successful Home Business

    November 10th, 2009

    HomprenuerWe were all sold initially on the idea of working from home. Sounded, great, didn’t it – work when you want, in your pjs with the kids playing under your desk, or wearing your swimsuit while you’re staring at the ocean on your latest vacation. Yes, working from home gives you a huge amount of flexibility, but there are also quite a few pitfalls that you don’t really hear about until you’re knee deep in it already. Here are some of them. Let me know if any of this sounds familiar…

    You’re constantly interrupted by your spouse, kids or friends who just want to ask you something quickly. (Really, it won’t take a minute!)

    Your “office” also happens to be the living room, so you end up trying to focus while the television is going, and people are running all around the house.

    You spend almost every waking hour either actively working on your websites or thinking about marketing strategies, product ideas and such when you should be spending quality time with your loved ones.

    You waste hours each day surfing the net (and call it research), checking your stats or answering email.

    The point is, we all develop these bad habits that don’t make us very productive. I bet that almost everything you’re doing in your usual 10 hours plus workday right now, you could accomplish in under 3 hours provided you set yourself up to be really productive during that time.

    And that’s exactly what you will learn in this new report called “Homepreneur Habits: How To Run A Successful Home Business”

    Find out how to set up your workspace, structure your day and most importantly, structure your business for maximum productivity and results.

    This report wasn’t created by just anyone, either. It was written by Jimmy D. Brown, one of the most successful Internet Marketers who fell into all the traps you’ve been falling into and then turned it around to a point where he is running and growing a huge home business spending just 3 hours a day working.

    P.S. This is awesome info not just some dry theoretical report. Jimmy shares exactly what he does and how he has his office set up (with plenty of pictures) so you have plenty of “real life” examples. Grab the report here.

    H1N1 Hits Too Close

    Chihuahua Swine Flu

    Chihuahua and Swine Flu

    Although I seem to be making a joke out of a very serious problem, I truly am not. Swine Flu is indeed a very serious issue that is facing us all.

    I used to think “I don’t have to worry about catching it, afterall I live in a very rural area. My closest neighbor is 1 mile away”. Well I don’t think that way anymore! Read the rest of this entry »
