Hi Everyone - 
I am new to the group.  My husband and I just adopted a male and 
female chihuaha yesterday.  They were rescued from a kill shelter, she 
is 3, he is 4.  Although they are both friendly with us, my parents, 
etc.  The female tried to bite my 12 year old nephew last night.  She 
let him pet her for about 20 seconds, then started showing her teeth 
and growling.  Luckily he got his hand away in time but she jumped out 
of her bed trying to get at him.  Even when she saw him walking by 
later she was growling at him from her bed.  I am so upset because I 
don't want him to be afraid to come over or of dogs in general.  Is 
there anything i can do to start letting her know he is not going to 
hurt her and to get her to respond OK with him?  Thanks for any help 
you can give :-)
