Gloria,
Precious little Sugar Plum was first a foster with me. When she came to me,
she came with chronic diarrhea, a horrible skin condition that made her
scratch herself until she BLED, and occasional convulsions!
She was adopted out by the rescue folks four times, and returned each time,
because they said she wasn't housebroken. After the fourth return, I said
NO MORE! and told the rescue group that I would be her forever home.
There was nothing wrong with her house manners - she simply had never seen
grass for her first 5 years! All it took was a piddle pad and she was
perfect! She has since learned to use the doggie door and even poops on the
grass
now!
I finally learned that food allergies can cause diarrhea and the horrible
itching. After searching for the right food for a long time, I finally found
it and now everyone in my house is on it. (That's why I now sell it!)
She still has the occasional convulsion but they are so few and far between
that the vet agreed not to push more chemicals into her little body because
she reacts so terribly to them.
She also has a bad knee that causes her pain when the weather changes but we
can usually handle that with a puppy aspirin.
All my babies get along together famously, even though they were mostly all
adults when they moved in, and all at separate times. We also have 2 rescued
cats.
It isn't any harder to love 7 chihuahuas than it was to spread the love
around when number 2 came along. Seems God gives you an unending supply of
love.
You don't have to share the love, it just seems to multiply. Thank
goodness they are little dogs - it would be hard to hold 5 great danes in my
lap at
once!
Since Norm doesn't want to be touched, and Penny is old and sore with
arthritis, I never have more than 5 that want to be in my lap at once. I've

And they all play so wonderfully together, I can't imagine a smaller family
anymore. They are truly friends and playmates for one another.
I guess they're like jello - there's always room!!!
