Welcome to the group and to the wonderful world of being owned by a chi. I look forward to getting to know you. I am Marsha and I am owned by 5 chis as well as a host of other pets. I have raised chis for nearly 20 years now and although I love ALL animals and all breeds...there is just something special about a Chihuahua! :-) Marsha
