Not all birds like puppies. LOL My red bellied parrot, Beau, will dive bomb Emiliano every chance he gets, screeching at the top of his voice! And when he sees him walk into the room where his cage is, he will yell at him "Liliano, get in the den" (he can't say Emiliano). Gloria In a message dated 11/15/2010 2:57:22 P.M.

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! ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥ -----Original Message----- From: jacehomeart <[email protected]> To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Nov 15, 2010 8:07 am 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 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 Jacqueline
