Ok - I asked the powers that be over at Salty Dog Rescue (the one adopting out Tiny) and they said they cant afford to do transfers that far - they prefer to stay local (I am thinking so that so if someone changes their mind, which happens more often than you would think, they can take the dog back) - so only to places they can drive to in a day.

Sorry, OneOfAKind

If anyone is looking for a Chi and lives in the NY/NJ/PA area, a two year old female was dropped off at the NYACC yesterday because her owners "just don't want her anymore." If anyone does want her but can't drive to Manhattan to get her, please PM me, I'll pick her up and bring her to you. She looks like such a little sweetheart. NYACC is a high-kill shelter, so she has about a week....please let me know if anyone wants her.

Hey Parker, thank you so much for checking

I wish I could get him some way.

Wish I was close - I would take her in a heartbeat! Newton needs a new chica to play with. Maggie is too old and impatient. I'm hoping (hope of hopes!) to find an Inca Orchid to rescue somewhere. They are supposed to be what chihuahuas descended from, and they're just beautiful and personable dogs.

Quick update....the little girl I posted has been rescued! YAY!! Hopefully she will now get all the cuddlin' and love she deserves!

I read some time ago that the chihuahua was sacrificed at funerals by Aztec priests so the dogs could help guide the deceased human to the after-life. One story/source even said the purpose of the chihuahua's death was to act as a martyr and absorb the sins of the deceased, so that the Aztec would have a pure soul and could get into heaven. Sound familiar? Maybe I would have felt a greater connection to Sunday School as a kid if Jesus had been a chihuahua.

My pup has 3 yes 3 pillows on my bed and she does what she wants with them, sometimes i have to hold onto my pillows cause she will try and get them out from under my head, anyway last night was adorable she was burrowing into the sham pillow so i grabbed my phone and took a pic.

she is currently at my side in the sleeping bag i made her

Legendryder · 04-26-2012, 11:13 AM

DOGGLES!!!!! Where in the world did you find chihuahua sized ones???

starryeyes · 04-26-2012, 01:46 PM

Does anyone else's chihuahua try to bite your hand (or any guilty appendage) off if you touch her while under a blanket?? Or was I just lucky with the "pick of the litter"? Lol.

If you touch them from the top of the blanket? Yes, Isabel does that all the time. I call the game Blanket Monster or Chupacabra LOL It also works if she is on top and my hand is under the blanket.

I also used to have a girl named Sweet Pea who would snarl and bite at you if you tried to move her while she was sleeping. The boys do not seem to have the same nesting habits with the blanket, in my experience.

Yes, yes he does. He has been on a long vacation as his owner has been too lazy, errrr, busy to keep up with his thread.

Mine does the same thing....must be a trait..

Legendryder · 04-26-2012, 02:50 PM

Yeah, Bob gets pretty grumpy if you "poke the lump". Sounds like he is going to tear your speen out through your nose actually.
