I don't know about the are you live in but around my area, there are some small-dog and Chihuahua meet-up groups. It's were a few people and their small dogs get together (once or twice an month) somewhere such as someone's fenced in yard, and let their small dogs play and socialize. I found a few groups on Meetup.com. Just enter your zip and "small dogs or Chihuahuas" and it will let you know if there are any groups in your area. It might be a better way to socialize your Chis that a doggy daycare environment. It's not as overwhelming. Stefanie

I was going to bring him one more time soon to see if he could get adjusted and if not I guess it's not a place for him! I am trying to be creative in socializing my dog rather than just play dates, but I may need to keep it that way! --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > I don't remember exactly who mentioned it, but one of the girls asked how other members dogs did at doggy daycare. Well, Jaelyn had her first day at Puppy Love Daycare last Friday (while I took 2 of the cats to the vet for their yearly check-ups). Dawn said that 'Precious' a small maltese, butr bigger than Jaelyn, tried to make friends with her but Jaelyn was either scared or feeling overwhelmed by all the barking from the really big dogs. She said Jaelyn would bark at Precious and finally she ran and hid in the corner underneath a ladder. :( > > I was really hoping she'd make at least one friend and I hoped it would get her socialized with other small dogs so she would get used to them. Her only past experience with other dogs was being caged 24/7 along side other breeding dogs. So she really had no experience with dogs up close and personal. :( > > Jesslan > > Foster Mom @ Shih Tzu & Fur Baby Rescue - http://www.stfbr. com/ > Volunteer @ Chautauqua County Humane Society - http://spcapets. com/ > Furever Mom To Doggy - Jaelyn > Furever Mom To Kitties - Lucius, Gypsy, Kylee and Ethaniel > Visit My Kitties, Doggy & Fosters - http://mdnyhtkyss. com/cattitude/ > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG. > Version: 8.0.138 / Virus Database: 270.6.0/1604 - Release Date: 8/11/2008 5:50 AM >
