I
have to start with the bad news first, and I hate posting anything
negative on any blog, so I'll make it quick. I lost my dear Chihuahua,
Precious, last month, due to a breathing condition
pretty much
brought about by old age. She died in my arms, and it about broke my
heart. I loved that little dog.
I
knew no other dog could replace her, but I began to look at rescue
dogs, cause it somehow felt as if her death would be more meaningful
if it brought about a loving home for another dog who really needed
one. And so we found Pikachu, a Chihuahua mix, (and I keep guessing as to
the other part. She has soft fluffy hair, so I'm thinking Pomeranian?)
Anyway, she had a rough start, barely escaping euthanasia. Her rescue
name was Fergie, and if you have the stomach for it, you can read about
her journey here: http://www.homeanimalrescue.com/litter1.html#top
I found her on the following
website, and it was such a thrill to see the words
ADOPTED, and know that I was the one they referred to:
And now for the best part. PUPPY PICTURES!! Below are pictures of what our happy, energetic adorable mutt looks
like now.
And
not to forget my dear, old sweet Baggins, who was bewildered by the
absence of Precious, the dog she grew up with, and horrified by the
wiggling, biting, (I'm working on it, it's play-biting, but Pikachu has
sharp little teeth) rambunctious critter we brought home. Here she is,
looking at Pikachu (you read the expression in her eyes):
I'm
happy to say that last night, the two dogs actually played together. I
think Baggins will be much happier in the long run with another dog in
the house. She just doesn't know it yet.
