I wonder if she could be a puppy mill puppy? They can be indifferent to people because they are not used to loving contact from people. I would just be persistent and keep loving on her. I think Chihuahuas are typically more like velcro dogs in that they get very attached to their person/people and always want to be with them or even on them. LOL! That being said, dogs, like people, can have different personalities and some are more independent and play-oriented than others. Our Chi's who are around 7-8 pounds get about 2 tablespoons of food twice a day(along with assorted snacks). They are all full grown and not growing puppies though. I agree with Rebecca about the "dog flipping". That could be what the people were doing. JMHO Sue MI
