Hi Jacqueline!
My jaw dropped to! That foster lady should come to my house and see all the
good fun my birds and dogs have together, that would change her mind! Their is
nothing sweeter then seeing my Yellow Collar Mini Macaw hanging off the bottom
wire of her cage and calling Princess and Gigi over with a seed in her beak as
an offering. Then when she drops it, Princess stands on her hind legs and
kisses Happy's beak and then Happy sticks out her tongue to kiss her back!
It's adorable and amazing at the same time! When I had my male maltese RIP,
Happy use to ride on his back and they would play and interact on the floor all
the time. Princess won't tolerate Happy trying to climb on her, instead she
will bark at Happy when she tries and Happy backs off and understands.
So CONGRATS on your new Sweetie! If I remember correctly I did say that I
tried the grass tray system and it was too much work, since you have to wash 3
things instead of just picking up the regular wee wee pad and disposing it.
Washing out pee from anything is not my thing anyway, Lol!, I would rather just
dispose of it. I recently picked up 50 disposable pads from Petsmart for
$15.00, and they are excellent. The pee is dry on the pad within an hour, and
no paw prints on the floor either, so I only have to change it once a day. That
comes out to only 30 cents per pad. Some one else said that they get pads at
Walgreens 50/$10.00, I will try them next and see if they are just as good.
Here's a hint for when she has an accident on any type of material, like her
bed etc. Use a 1/3 cup of vinegar in the next to last rinse cycle. It works
much better then all of those expensive deodorizers that they advertise and
absolutely no type of smell at all. The vinegar works on other smells to,
completely breaking it down to nothing.
I like the name you picked, it is original and sweet. I also thought of
Munchkin and Blaze and Gidget, and Cricket-if she is a lively one. Well lots of
luck, and I'm sure we will see more pictures. She is absolutely adorable!

Subject: [Chihuahuas] We are getting a Pup - not a rescue this time
Yes the rescue try went flat. We were rejected because we have birds.
My disappointment was deep and heavy. They didn't even come over for
the house visit - just an email. That was one rescue. The Chi Recue
was friendlier but they didn't have one that filled our requirements.
I know I could wait until the Chi Rescue gets one I want. The point
is I have time right now to train and settle a new dog.
I started looking at ads. I was looking at 1 year olds - after a few
phone calls and no follow-up photos sent my way I spotted a pup. - hope
these photos show up....

She is on Iams right now. She is 11 weeks old & still 2lbs 12oz. She
is getting her last shots this week & I pick her up on Saturday.
Questions
How to start a Raw diet when she gets home?
Could I start a Dry-raw diet?
Has anyone used the washable 'grass' pee-pad?
Am I nuts? - please be gentle....LOL
