Our new chihuahua puppy is so darn tiny she literally snuggles inside my top shirt/sweater, curls up on my chest and sleeps while I am online! LOL
I just adore this little sweetie. I'm no a big fan of "little" dogs either, so it's kind of ironic how I fell in love at first sight with her.
Of course my black lab is not nearly as thrilled as HE is mama's boy (still is, just doesn't like to share!). Poor abused baby!

Ssssh.. we'll never tell her somewhat questionable background. As far as we're all concerned she IS royalty! LOL Congrats on your new princess too! Must be the time of year?!

hockeygal, I don't blame you one bit for falling in love at first sight with this little cutie pie! I love dogs, but I'm not particularly a fan of the smaller dogs, either. But this dog is just so cute that it's almost impossible not to awww upon seeing her picture! I really think that she looks absolutely adorable. Congrats on your new pet! ^_^

Thanks. Yeah, I've never been a little dog fan and always had big dogs like labs. But I love all animals so it's not really a surprise she's got my heart so quick! lol
I feel like a new mom, bragging about my little cutie! lol

Oh yours is a sweetie too. I'm amazed at how much I just love this little bugger! LOL Today she proved she's a crazy puppy by jumping up onto my bed to be with me, even though the distance is a good 10 of her!!!! LOL She found a way to climb a stool, to a chair, down to a bag next to the bed to the bed itself. It was so cute to see her so determined that she should be with me! I'll keep you in mind if she ever becomes "homeless"... but I have high doubts! lol

My chihuahua was picked up at the animal shelter. It was her last day before the walk down the green mile. She sensed it too and had just given up. When I selected her, the lady at the shelter said, "You want that THING!?" I said, "Yes, that is the one...I sure loved her to pieces. She used to sleep under the covers in my bed and curl up with me. She was a sweetheart as I am sure your new baby is too!

There are so many dogs out there that are so deserving of a good home. It's sad to see so many left to die. It's truly one of the reasons why I do not hesitate to have my dogs spayed and neutered. There's no reason to keep creating more and more when there are so many that die for no reason.

aww...what a sweet story. We adopted a black lab from the pound 2 or 3 years ago and he was on his last days there. He'd been there the longest--4 months. He is the sweetest dog too.

I am so happy for you and your daughter to have such a beautiful puppy. I love these types of dogs as they are cute, adorable and fun to play with. I love small dogs. One day I would love to have a Chihuahua. It sounds like your chihuahua just loves you and being with you.

Will do and i know what you mean i also have a pom pom and you know it amazes me that she is soooooo calm around her and that is not the norm for pom poms but the down side is that she has seizures caused by hyeoglycemia soo we get vet bills in the masses but she is worth every penny ...

I'm so thankful. My daughter works in a vets office as an intern for her high school co-op, she's in pre-vet. God willing, she will become a vet and maybe for the first time ever we can afford to truly take care of these animals we seem to inherit! LOL But I agree... they're worth the price!

Oh, the tea cup chichi's are soooooooo tiny! I'm amazed at them for sure! My sister had one, but had to give it back to the breeder for fear her big ol' stupid chocolate lab would crush it. He seemed oblivious to her being there and actually came close to laying on her! I was glad to see she had the brains to take the tiny little thing back instead of risking injury!
Give your princess a big smooch from Corona!

Oh she's adorable. I'm picking up my chihuahua Bella next week. I can't wait to get her home. She gets her shots on the 11th and I can pick her up on the 12th. Just in time for Valentimes day. I love chi's I think they are so cute. I posted her picture, you can see her others and Gizmo in my profile pictures. Bella will be 8 weeks on friday. Gizmo turned 2 on the 6th.

Originally we thought we would be gettting Corona Rose on the 14th but she was ready to come now. The breeder, a friend that my daughter works with, was just a little slow at "letting go" and told us 14th just to "be safe" LOL
Is Bella mixed with lab? She has a face and ears somewhat lab like. Wow, that would be a trick wouldn't it? Lab and chichi? LOL I'm not "up" on breeds and types but I think someone mentioned ours looked like an "apple head" chihuahua. I'm not sure what the papers will say and we never really asked. We were just taken by her beauty! LOL
Enjoy your new little one and tell Gizmo that Bella runs a close 2nd but Gizmo is one of a kind! (gotta keep them happy and un-jealous)!

Sssssh... don't tell the daughter that I love the little rat just as much! lol
She's in love and while she's gone at school, Corona and I are bonding! When she sleeps over at friends' houses and such Corona needs someone to keep her snuggled!!! Right?! LOL

Thanks... she's regressing a bit with her potty training. She came and was pretty good with hitting the papers but all of a sudden she's just going wherever! I'm not 100% sure on how to work with a dog this size. My big ones I've crated and crate trained for the bathroom needs! I'm home most all the time now so it's a bit different and I wouldn't put her in if I'm here. Plus it's too cold to show her the yard each accident so the papers get used. I'm not real sure on this one! lol

LOL.. she eats her weight in food daily! That's the kewl part... no matter how much she eats.... she's never gonna get too big to carry!
I call chihuahuas mexican rats. As I said in my original post, I was never a huge fan... would never hurt any animal but they weren't my faves by any means. When my daughter got her I was certain I wouldn't be overwhelmed with love. Yeah, well that took all of 2 seconds! lol

LOL... I've always been a big dog fan too. I can honestly say... had she not been able to steal my heart in person I'd be doubtful she could persuade me that these "little rats" are so cute either! But beware.. if one slips into your life.. you are doomed! LOL

Oh how sweet. Is your lab intimidated by the size of the little one?
My mom was going to get a chihuahua but decided to hold off for a while. Seeing your cute dog makes me want her to get one..lol.

Our lab is so funny. We call him the whimp. He likes to pretend he's big and tough but is the biggest wuss on 4 legs! lol When Corona comes even NEAR him he runs to me hiding! LOL I'm not sure why, if it's that she's quick and he's just worried he can hurt her or what but he wants NO part of her. The funny part is, now that she's been here a few days she is DYING to meet him face to face and he just runs!

So adorable...I've been wanting to get CJ a miniature chihuahua for a few years now; Mark's friend from his old job and his wife raise them.
She breeds the kind that don't shake all the time, as I don't think CJ could handle that...lol
They were even going to fly a pup to us for his birthday or xmas and it would have only been about $100 total...Perhaps we'll think about it again sometime soon.
@hockeygal4ever (10021)

Wow, that's an awesome deal. They are quite fragile though so you may want to wait until CJ gets a little older. I don't recommend them to anyone with small kids, simply because they have no clue how fragile they really are! And, when they're pups they are just like human babies in that they have a 'soft spot' on their head that you must be careful of. I can't remember any of my bigger dogs ever having that, but I may be wrong.

She was $400, and that's really a bargain for a registered one. There are breeders all over and you are best off going to a chihuahua breeder locally, near you.
