My problem with Abbey is riding in the car - she pants and hates it. I got her when she was 3 months old and I do not think she was ever in the car - the baby loves it. I got them really nice car seat from GW Little that sits high so they can see out and they both fit in it. I even tried some medicine that my Vet prescribed for her but it did no good, She hats to stay home alone but hates to go in the car, I have no idea how to fix this. I also bought DAP which is a pheromone that is suppose to smell like their lactating mothers and relax them. Did not do anything for her. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

I took Gigi to several streets this past summer, she preferred to be held too. Even being held she was shaking, but about the third fair that we went to, the shaking stopped and she wanted to walk with me. The more they are acclimated, the less fear they have. It is wonderful to let them see the world! -------Original Message------- From: mj turner Date: 12/4/2010 8:31:08 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Benji's firs real outing! I was so proud of Benji at the art festival this afternoon. She did just wonderfully although I did have to carry her. She is afraid that she will get stepped on and I can't say I blame here.... I think it may be hard wired into these little ones....... Anyway, she was interested and friendly and folks pet her and talked to her and wanted to take her home with them <G> She was a VERY good girl. This was her first real outing other than going to the vet or the kennel... Pretty good, I think for a dog that spent most of the first 4 years of her life in a cage having puppies. I'm anxious to see how she does tomorrow at a very small chi meet up . She is really a very very good dog..... MJ ©2003 LongBraid Designs
