Chih,Rat Terrier, Sheppard

OOOOOooo I love lil doggie and big doggies toooo! I have 4 dogs. 2 rat terriers, 1 chihuahua and a Sheppard/Akita mix. They are my best buds! You all kow how depressing being over weight can be and the lengths a depression can linger on. I am sooo thankful for them, they are soo loving and always there.. they follow me around like little shadows, and they are there to greet me when ever I come home and they are always glad to see me. My husband isn't even that faithfull! lol Well, I have found him waiting outside the bathroom door like the dogs do lol but it's just not the same. They are so good for stress relieve too.. the dogs not the hubby lol . Anyway good luck to all those waiting or have had WLS , I wish you contuined success! Here are pic of my babies.. dont have a pic of the sheppard mix yet. Enjoy- Candie http://www.bettsiv.com/thunders.html

I'm so jealous of you!. I love chihuahuas. I've had 3 and they've all met with a tragic end. The last one, Chip, we had the longest (7 years) and he was pretty much a one owner dog. Well we put him out side to use the bathroom a year ago September and haven't seen him since. Don't know if the coyotes got him or someone came by and scooped him up or if someone hit him and just dumped his body somewhere. He was such a cry baby that if anyone had come up to him he would have yelled out, and I'm sure he would have hollered if the coyotes had got him but we didn't hear anything. Went back to let him in after a few minutes and he was gone. I still have dreams about him and I end up crying. Baby girl is ready for another one but I'm not so sure. To house break another dog takes more than a notion. Continue to love you babies for me. I'll be there one day. Cat G

HI Cat G I am so sorry to hear about Chip, and I don't blame you for being so sad over his loss. I know if it were me I'd re-live it over and over again wondering all kinds of horrible thoughts. All I can say is just pray that someone wanted him and loved him enough to have taken him home.. and maybe that someone will be eaten by coyotes (or at least bit )) for making you so horribly sad!! Think happy thoughts! and here is something to think about.. if baby girl wants a pal consider your local shelter, most shelters have potty trained and obedience train their dogs before they will adopt them out .

Hi Candie Thanks for the kind and humorous words you said about Chip and whoever got him. I like the part where if someone has him they would get bit by coyotes at least My mother always says not another dog but we just ignor her and get one when I'm ready. She spoils them worse than anyone! My baby's father has a girlfriend that promised to get her a chihuahua and I think she's checking out the animal shelters. I've been on line and checked them out but I just don't know if i'm ready. I really got sick of my dog in the summer time with the flees and ticks. But I know the Lord will point me in the right direction when it's time. Thanks for the info and if I get one I'll be sure to let you know. It has to be a chihuahua! TTFN Cat

I HAVE A BLACK LAB NAMED ELIZABETH- SHE WEIGHS ABOUT 100 LBS. I ALSO HAVE A "TEACUP" CHIHUAHUA NAMED GOLIATH. HE WEIGHS 3 LBS. WHENEVER I LET HIM OUT TO RUN, HE GOES TO THE BACK YARD AND TORMENTS ELIZABETH BECAUSE HE IS RUNNING LOOSE AND SHE ISN'T (I CAN'T LET THEM LOOSE AT THE SAME TIME). YESTERDAY I LET HIM LOOSE AND HE WENT TO THE BACK TO AGGRAVATE ELIZABETH AND HE GOT A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO HER AND SHE NIPPED HIM ON THE BUTT AS HE RAN BY. HE YELPED AND RAN UP ON THE DECK. HE SHOOK FOR AWHILE (GUESS HE WAS SCARED****IL HE REALIZED THAT LIZ COULDN'T REACH HIM THEN HE STARTED BARKING AT HER AGAIN. HE IS THE KING OF THE HOUSE...OR SO HE THINKS!
