Hello & welcome Linda, Kai looked allot like a little female I rescued from a local shelter in our area, I named her Vida, and she was even thinner and in worse shape then your Kai. Although her teeth aren't bad, just cause she was still young. I had her for 3 weeks getting her back in good health and she got the kennel cough. She is now with my ex and doing well.  I have 3 Chi's, Smidgen, her daughter Chassis, and then we have Dani. I also just got a young Papillon male last week..  Look forward to seeing all your babies soon.

My name is Linda, I live in the San Joaquin Valley, I just celebrated my 60th birthday :)  I have a son and daughter both out of the house :)  I'm also a proud Grandmother of 2 beautiful girls,.Peyton/10 yrs old and Remington/6 yrs old..  I have 5 dogs, one of my latest addition is a male Chi that a stranger gave my sister outside a grocery store back in September 12, 2010...I think this man might have been homeless and he couldn't afford to keep his dog.  My sister gave the little Chi to me and I named him Kai.  He was in pretty bad shape, you could see his back bones and ribs, he was starving poor thing. I cared for him, got his weight back up...took him to my vet, his breath was pretty smelly and you could see he was in pain when he ate...ALL his teeth had to be removed but he is such a happy little guy after all that, you would never think he had a hard life at one time.  We took Kai to the coast and he loved it, he loves car rides and love to visit friends and family with me...he is such a sweetheart and loves his furry brothers,sisters and his mommy/that's me :) I hope you can see this photo below of Kai, it's when we first got him. My flickr link is down below with photos of my other furbies and family. Thanks for having me...     Hugs Linda from California Lacey/Yorkie toki/Pom mix rescue~ Halo/Great Dane-Aussie mix Micki/sheltie mix~ Kai/Chihuahua~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alohabeaches_5/ " Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." — Anatole France
