Tee Hee    WELCOME TO MY WORLD  - I own a daycare,3 dogs, a cat, a 10 yr old daughter and a hubby - all of which can't seem to do anything with out me, I've made my mess, I got to sleep in it, they are all spoiled rotten - none of them can FIND a single thing without asking where it is first(expecting me to get it for them) even though I am an organization/clean freak and everything has been in the same spot for years??????????????????            Moxi is my problem child - but she is soooooooooooo dang cute and bratty that I just LMAO at her all the time.  Moxi will take chicken anyway she can get it, and cheese !!         Moxi was 9 weeks old when I got her, and Tiki was 7 weeks old when we got her, just depends on the breeder and the size of the puppy - Tiki was really little and not weaned until later -it was better for her. I'm glad I waited - but it was really hard - I had initially gotten a male 7 month old - that needed a home -drove to another state to get him - brought him home and he attacked my Min Pin, pissed on my mom's leg, pissed on everything in site of him,and tried to hump my other chi (tiki) all within an hour of getting him home- then he tried to attack my daughter - so I called the breeder three hours after getting home - and I took him back the next morning - not a good fit for my busy home - I was worried about my other dogs, daughter, and my daycare kids, I can't have that type of temperament in my home. I cried my eyes out on the way home because I felt so bad, but she called a few days later to tell me she sold him to an older man who lives alone and no children, and he is doing great there, so I feel the best for him and his temperament was with that man - I was grateful for the call - I felt soooooooo bad, but as a mommy my job is to protect my family, and home.   I waited awhile then hubby told me one morning to get ready he wanted to go somewhere, reluctantly and complaining I did it, and he took me to a ladies home, come to find out, he and my mom were working together(she owns a grooming shop, used to show,own,Train ect..) and I picked out Moxi - the first one I picked up - had to wait two weeks for to be ready . They did the same thing before when I got Tiki - I got her as a Christmas present(two weeks early)  I like it when they work together - husband tells me that when he looks at me playing with them he wells up - because he knows they are the most special presents he could have ever given me, I would take my puppies over anything I've ever owned.    LOL   Connie Major

Thanks Connie. We keep Tia's dry food out at all times but she's not very interested in it. I've also been soaking some of it down with hot water and mixing in a dab of chicken baby food and I try to feed it to her three to four times a day, sometimes she'll eat it and sometimes she wont. That's funny you should mention about your dogs liking their food on the floor, because before I found this one little "flat type" dish/bowl in my cupboard we were having to put Tia's food on the floor because that's the only way she would eat it <LOL> And, we still have to do it sometimes in order to get her eat. I did find one thing that she just loves, roasted chicken. I made one for dinner a few nights ago and she went wild over it! She's drinking enough water now but I was kind of worry about that at first too.
As well as Tia is doing with her potty training, I still fully expect her to back slide a little, babies do tend to forget sometimes. So far Tia hasn't drug her pads around, I use the ones with the adhesive strips and they stick to the kitchen floor really well. But, I see it coming, she was trying to tear off a corner of it today.
I can see how it's so easy to spoil these little ones, Tia already has my husband Bruce wrapped around her little paw and yes, me too.
Your little moxi sounds just adorable, I see that she's the same age as Tia, how old was she when you got her? I wish we lived closer, Tia could use a little Chi playmate, she's only been here a week and she already thinks she's a "cat". I'm so glad that my cats accepted her right from the start, it's really a riot to see them all play together. All of them get every single toy in the house out, it looks like I'm running a Chi/Cat daycare <LOL>

 Hey Kat - she is soooooooooooo cute - Moxi my 3 month old didn't eat worth a crap in the beginning either, but as long as she's drinking i wouldn't worry to much, they won't starve themselves, she'll do it when she's ready, all mine did and now the two older ones are on lighter food, cause I   let them free feed, and let them have table scraps (to much) now they get carrots, apples & orange sections, or any other veggie or fruit we're eating for dinner, instead of the main course,  okay chicken about once a week - but I won't give them anything I won't eat myself, I've switched them to Innova food, and they seem to like it so far, I make thier treats myself, and they get two a day each, It's hard to watch what they eat here, I own a daycare, and the kids like to feed the animals, so I have to put the dogs in another room at meals(except dinner) and even at that time I have to watch them - my daughter and hubby are horrible about giving in to thier "s ad little faces"                  WOW congrats on the puppy training - my first two were so fast at it too - but my Moxi (3 month old) is my problem child - she misses by a foot and talks back to my hubby when he tells her NO - she wimpers(cries) and runs to me as if she is telling on him, which doesn't help her any because I start laughing because it's sooooo dang cute - so I take her to the pad and tell her excitedly good girl - go potty and she just wiggles, and wimpers for me to pick her up - she's pathetically spoiled - Tee hee  no more than the other two !!   Quirky is the word for chihuahua's  - neither Tiki or Moxi will eat food in a bowl - they take thier feet and push some out of the bowl and eat it on the floor - or Tiki will put a bunch in her mouth (like a chipmunk) and eat it on the couch - or hoard it for later. - QUIRKY IS RIGHT !!   Moxi will pick up her puppy pad and take it to where SHE wants it - I wouldn't care if she would actually hit it when she did go - I actually had the vet check her eyes last week at the vet, because I thought she couldn't see the thing - I told Moxi she has no excuse now - the vet(my mom's friend) says she sees fine - she's  just plain stubborn.  I just don't know where she's getting it from - as she looked right at me (sarcastically) - NICE HUH? congrats again - Have fun with Tia !!!
