She has a little something in her, that's for sure! lol BUT Cookie is not a chi. My chis would not be outside and they are much better behaved! lol. Cookie is a spitz mix. A one eyed one at that. About 4 years ago, she got hit by a car and lost her eye. As soon as it was healed and she allowed back outside, she went right back to the road. I could not keep her safe, so I invested in fencing in my back yard. $1,800 dollars later, it held her for less than 24 hours before she got out of it. Finally I have had no choice but to put her on a runner. She is now confined to a 75 foot runner on which a 15 foot chain is attached. The only dog in my life I have ever had to chain up. I had no choice since her life was at stake. Marsha

Sounds like that chihuahua has a bit of the devil get in him now and then but nothing a good church-going lady can't deal with at a full run on a Sunday morning! Merry Christmas to all the chihuahuas out there, most particularly prayers to the lost and homeless ones. --- In [email protected], "marsha Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Some of you may remember my post last month, on my birthday, my dog Cookie getting loose and leading me on a wild goose chase before 7 am.

We threw on coats and ran out the door. This time, she went the opposite direction but just as far! We chased her through a field, into the woods, along a creek (which I ended up getting wet in). > > At some point, I some how got separated from her and my son. I tried calling for them, but of course, being Deaf, I didn't know if son answered! I was getting worried because it was a dangerous area and I feared son could get hurt and I would never know. I was crying and feeling helpless not being able to hear if he needed help. > > I ran home (about a half mile) stopping at a house to try to call for help but no one came to the door. Made it to my drive and saw some fellow church members on their way to Sunday School and flagged them down and asked them to go get my mom. I then got in my truck and drove back to the last place I had seen them. Got out, hollered some more, cried some more, prayed some more. > > Drove back to see what was taking mom so long and finally see son coming carrying cookie! He had caught her in an old rock quarry about a mile from the house. I cried some more...this time relief! lol. > > BUT, Satan didn't win...we made it to church! lol. > > Marsha >
