Sounds like a very happy little puppy. Dolly will sit in the recliner chair with me…and sometimes I am eating something. She loves to watch TV…sitting on my lap with her butt and then her body in a position like she is a human sitting. When I get done eating, she will reach for my hand and both little Chihuahua arms are extended to the fullest and going back and forth in excitement. I only do that for about 15 seconds and then let her lick my fingers…I do it that long because it is so cute…she really wants anything that is on my fingers so she will continue until I give in.

Lucy is wonderful. I noticed she’s eating a little better. I went home and looked on the label of her food and the first ingredient said something like “yellow” chicken. It’s Beneful, is that not a good food to give her? She seems to enjoy it. On special occasions (clipping her nails) I give her a bacon strip. I also give her these chicken sticks she chews on for hours. She loves her toys (she has a ton). As for her being somewhat aloof when drowned with attention, she’s still kind of like that but I know she loves us. Whenever she wants to get our attention, she stands on her two back legs and waves with both of her two front paws. I love it when she does that. She looks so cute. My son (he’s 16), acted annoyed when I first brought her home, well, now he’s her biggest fan. He can’t get enough of her. She follows him everywhere. She basically rules the house. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been that easy potty training her. She has yet to really get the hang of the puppy pads. Sometimes she goes on them and sometimes she doesn’t. I just invested in a carpet steam cleaner. Guess what I’m doing this weekend?

That just breaks my heart. That’s probably exactly what they did with her. Well, she is here to stay. I love her and she will never have to worry about being sold again.

I can't help much on the issues you are having, as I too and a new Chi owner. but your story reminded me of a local to me story I read today. here is a link http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/local_news/investigations/I-Team%3A-That-“nice-family”-adopting-your-pet-may-be-a-business-instead Rebecca _____ From: Naomi DeLeon-Diaz <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, July 14, 2011 2:24:12 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] New to the list... Hi, my name is Naomi and I just bought me an adorable Chihuahua on May 9th. When I bought her the people said she was 9 weeks old. They bought her from someone else and decided that they couldn’t handle a puppy. It was a little weird when I went to see her because when I knocked they didn’t come out the front door, they came out from the side of the house just holding her with nothing else. No bed, toys, blanket, food and no shot records. They just handed her to me and took the money. I was a little suspicious but I wanted her so bad. I immediately took her to the vet and thank God she was checked out okay. She got her first set of shots and a nice warm bath on the same day. I have two questions for you “Chihuahua experts”. One, I drown her with affection constantly, hugging her, kissing her, scratching her tummy, but she seems kind of indifferent to me. She loves to play but the affection she acts like she could do without. Are all Chihuahuas like that? Also, she doesn’t eat very much. I serve her once in the morning and that’s it. It takes her the whole day into late night to finish that one bowl of food. And it’s not a big bowl of food. The bowl is very small so I would say less than ½ cup. Is this normal? She’s been to the vet twice and she went from 2.8lbs. to 3.5lbs. That’s a good sign. Feedback please?????? (Sorry for the long email) _____ This message is for the designated recipient only.
