Oh Nancy!! Because you cried yourself to sleep last night---means you're an AMAZING Doggy Mom!! Thank GOD it happened now and this way before an even worse way!!
One thing I was told when I first got a Chi---it's like having a baby--they are tiny forever and things can happen if we're not careful. Most of the time, when we have something where there will be a lot of people at our home, we will have Paris either on MY lap or in MY arms or in MY room. Also, they always hide in blankets.. so I always be sure to pick up the blankie first to see if she's under there. Just ONE sit could kill a 3-lber!!! So, we use sooo much caution with her. So many people don't understand it---they think that she's just a snobby lil' spoiled girl--yes, she is.. LOL, but I also treasure her by being sure that I am careful of who has her--IF they're allowed! Not to put a damper and without too much information (graphic)--ALWAYS be sure they are IN your hands when you take them somewhere with you in your cars when closing the doors!! PLEASE!! My husband lost his Chihuahua, Frankie because of somebody else's mistake!! I think you get the picture--but I just would hate for somebody else's baby Chi to go through this.. Right now is the Holidays and I take my baby Girl just about everywhere I can that will allow me to, at least! They will be in and out of cars and they move fast--like little children!
