I live just a bit north of you, and I can tell you that in the winter it is way to cold for our little dogs outside. Tell your Dad that a Chihuahua does not smell like a dog when it gets dirty, it smells like Fritos. Besides I can give Raul a bath in the kitchen sink in under 15 min. There is no reason why it should have to smell.
Oh, if it is under 70F Raul likes to wear his sweat shirt when he goes out for his morning poop.

Ok so I have a 5 month old reindeer chihuahua and my dad is insisting that he sleep outside (he doesn't want the house to smell like dog) But I am really scared that if this happens my puppy can get sick. I live in el paso tx so the weather is fairly warm... anyone have any suggestions? " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! Join today! " Yahoo! Groups Links
