Hi Laua, Nice to meet you.
I'm mj and live in Tucson with hubby and our little chi Benji girl. She is
our first chi
and the smallest of all our dogs. She was a rescue at age 4 and now we've had
her
nearly a year. She is learning how to be a pet and even enjoying snuggling.
Glad you joined the group. mj
and here is Benji

Subject: [Chihuahuas] Introducing myself
My name is Laura. I live in South Texas. I have three miniature dachshunds
and
recently acquired a Chihuahua puppy. She is 7 weeks old, barely weighs a pound
and has already put my other dogs in their place. She has let them know in one
day that she is the one in charge. She herds them around and "bites" on their
collars, nips at their legs and growls at them when she wants to be alone in
her
pet bed. She also naps regularly with each of the other dogs. When she is
sleepy, she will crawl into one of their beds and snuggle up on their belly and
go to sleep. The others are so protective of her but her greatest protector is
on of my male dachshunds. He will stand on top of her if the others get a
little too rough in his opinion. He nudges her into her bed to get her to
safety. It is the funniest thing because she gets after him the most. He
pushes her out of the way and she yips and growls and snaps at him and he just
sits and lets her go on and on until she calms down and falls asleep on him. I
LOVE how they entertain me. I never realized how much fun a Chihuahua could
be. Since I am a novice with this breed, I really appreciate any and all tips
this group can provide. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your group.
