With the excitement of the new puppies arrival, I’m trying to prepare Bruce Wayne for this major lifestyle change. Just as much as I am excited, I believe it is only fair to try my very best at helping Bruce Wayne adjust.
You see, Bruce Wayne is not your average dog. I know everyone says that about their dog and they are not wrong. However, every time I tell someone about Bruce Wayne’s typical day, they always laugh and say how I’m so lucky to have such a chill and calm dog.
A typical morning for Bruce Wayne starts around 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. That is the time in which I will drag his fluffy butt out of bed. If he had his way, he’d sleep in bed until noon everyday. The days that I try and get him to start his days earlier, he’ll turn belly up in protest.
After he finally gets up, he’ll go potty and eat his breakfast. He is like clockwork everyday. He’ll pee once, poop once, eat and then poop again. His routine is down to a science. So much so that if he doesn’t follow that routine, I know something is up. Then, he runs right back to ….. You guessed it, my room and my bed. There, he’ll sunbath on the pillow next to the window for a few hours.
When it’s nice out, I will take him for a few walks throughout the day. I have to trick him, because Bruce Wayne will put the brakes on if I try to walk him around the block twice. So, instead, we just take multiple trips throughout the day. If it’s bad weather out, sometimes we go to Lowe’s Home Improvement store since they are dog-friendly and warm.
Each night, we are again like clockwork. Bruce Wayne eats dinner around 6:30 – 6:45 p.m., goes potty and right back onto my bed on his now infamous heating pad. Usually, we will watch television for a bit, then play. Out of all his toys and chews, his favorite toy is my left hand. Not my right, my left. Bruce Wayne is a very particular Chi-Chi! 😉
After playtime, I’ve began showing him videos of the puppies. Sometimes, I know he can see them and is watching them as his ears will go up and down and I’ll get some head tilts. Other times, he just simply doesn’t care, turns around and goes back to sleep. I’ve began referring to the puppies just as that, “the puppies”. I do not call them “doggies” because he has some odd anger towards that word. If I say the word “doggies” he will start growling and barking, even if he doesn’t see an actual dog.
With all that being said, I’m trying to “upset” his normal routine a little so that he won’t be a grumpy Chihuahua when the puppies need attention in the middle of the night. I’m doing all this, but knowing Bruce Wayne, he’ll just sleep through all the commotion. 😉
NEW Puppy Photos!
As you can see below, the puppies have opened their eyes! We are happy to report that all puppies have opened their eyes on their own without any issues. As you may or may not know, just because the puppies eyes are open, it does not mean that they can necessarily see. During this time, their retinas are still developing, so they heavily rely on their sense of smell.
This is also one of the reasons why the puppies are still kept to a enclosed, confined space. Within the next week or two, the puppies will be allowed to go into the playroom to explore, run and play. While we anxiously await some playtime photos and videos, enjoy these week 2 puppy cuteness photos!
It’s amazing you were able to clone Bruce Wayne, Meesha! I do have a few questions- maybe you have discussed my questions in previous blogs, if so, please let me know!
The pups don’t have the exact markings of Bruce, Why is that?
Will you bring all the puppies home and raise them?
Do you believe Bruce will accept these puppies and form a bond with them?
Thank you and Merry Christmas!!
All My Love,
Deidre
Thank you so much for checking out our posts, Deidre! No worries on the questions, I’ve posted a lot of blog posts on the topic, so I know it can be a lot to read and take in.
There is a scientific reasoning as to why the puppies have BW’s DNA, but not exact markings. My Vet explained it once to me and ViaGen has a blog post about it: https://viagenpets.com/coat-color-spot-pattern-cloned-animals-genetic-donor/. That is the best resource. I am not scientific enough to explain it unfortunately.
I will be bringing 4 of the puppies home with me. 1 will be going with Kristen, @therealpablochihuahua’s mom. As you may know, Kristen and Pablo live very close to me, about 15 minutes away, so I will get to see her puppy very often.
Honestly, BW doesn’t really like other dogs, however, he absolutely loves my mother’s JRT that he sees often. BW is always wanting to play with him but the JRT is a bit crazy and doesn’t really play with others. I think that once BW realizes that the puppies are staying he will adapt and do well. It’ll be good for him. I feel sometimes like he is lonely. I’m hopeful that the puppies will renew his spirit. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you and your family. You are always in our thoughts and we hope you are doing well.

Love hearing about Bruce Wayne’s routine. Zoey has her own little routine and is definitely a creature of habit. The puppies will certainly change your routine once they come home.
Thank you kindly, Zoey and Momma! I’d love to hear about Zoey’s routine. It always makes me laugh how dogs get into a routine and how they can become grumpy old people if you change their routine, LOL!

They are so sweet! Are you going to try and give the puppies simular experiences that Bruce Wayne had as a puppy?
Thank you so much! I am certainly going to try and keep them on the same routine as Bruce Wayne. I brought BW home when he was 5 months, so hopefully I can give the puppies a similar experience as BW had. I’ve never had 8 week old puppies, so it will certainly be an experience for us all. 😉

Loved reading about Bruce Wayne’s life. Sounds fabulous to me & I’m not gonna lie, I would love to have such a fabulous life. We seriously can’t handle all the puppy cuteness. This is so very exciting & can’t wait to see all their adventures.
Thank you very much for checking it out Coco & Carina! We couldn’t wait to share with our IG family! 🙂 Hopefully one day we will get out your way and we can all meet up and go on a hike!
