LOL - I have heard stories like this! Talking Parrots that call the dog - oh I pity the pup. I went to your site - love your 'pack/flocK'. All of yours look well cared for.
I'm a sweater girl - will be crocheting sweaters all the time, I'm sure. When I was a college kid I had a Doberman who I made sweaters for - she wouldn't go outside without her coats - in fact I think she thought she was pretty fancy! I know a dog that is almost hairless needs protection from the cold. ________________________________ From: Deanna Corey <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 3:30:59 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Ok...have to share...my Blue and Gold Macaw Stella LOVES my dogs!!!! They are all very good friends. She thinks they are her personal retrievers!!! They bring her toys when she tells them too as well as dropped p-nuts. Stanley my Amazon loves them too and calls them to him all the time...but he does not have the same deep friendship with them all as Stella does. Both Parrots call the cat, Miles...and he use to come to their "Here Kitty, kitty" call...until he realized their calling him was only so they could nip him good. They both HATE Miles!!!!and Miles has never been aggressive towards either of them...they just hate him though!!!

Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox LOL Bigger Parrots have disdain for dogs. I don't think the Budgies will be dive-bombing the dog! - but they will be jealous [which is unclear]. They help me make our bed - silly things run all over the bed and tug at teh covers. I will have to be careful. They are pretty hyper and get very vocal - hope they don't encourage the dog to be vocal. ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 2:33:03 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox My little budgie has been dead a long time. For the past 8 yrs I've had a red bellied parrot named Beau. Beau was here before Emiliano came to live with us and he does not like him. He will dive bomb him every chance he gets, he also mimics me and will yell at him "Emiliano, get in the den" when he dares to walk into what he perceives to be his space Gloria -----Original Message----- From: Brea Hicks <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Nov 4, 2010 1:18 pm Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Standars??

They are standard size - not Show/English. Rio is 3 1/2 - a pale blue with a white head & Bow is 2 - a skyblue yellowface so yellow his blue is now green except in small areas. They are a lot of fun - we have them out of the cage all day - mostly they stay in their room on top of their cage or gym - but they get so excited when someone comes home. Bow loves to ride around on my shoulder - all day if I let him. Rio is always pulling my hair so he can kiss my cheek. All this is pretty much untrained! I really hope a small dog won't be a problem with them - I hope I can train the dog to leave them alone. I'll be in trouble & upset if a new pet causes problems :( ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 1:58:26 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Budgies? I adore them, once had a champion talker named Bunkie, I have hours of tape of him talking and carrying on conversations with me. He lived 6 yrs and I miss him still. Gloria -----Original Message----- From: jacehomeart <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, Nov 4, 2010 10:27 am Subject: [Chihuahuas] Standars?? Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox Ears - Is there a corrct size? Head shape - I like both but was puzzled when I saw the differences. When someone mentioned the 'fox' head I was intrigued - had only ever heard of the 'apple'. If nothing else the standard for Chihuahuas seems to be a healthy mix. I have noticed that some breeders have the smaller eared dogs and they tend to be 'apple heads'. Some dogs seem to have really big ears- all are seriously cute. Nice for us owners - we can have a choice. It all seems moot as I will be getting a rescue - but already I can see all the variations. Coats, ears, head, colouring.....makes me think they are more like my Budgies LOL
