Dogs

thanks for the comments. my sister is leaning more towards the grey
chihuahua... only because we know pretty much exactly how it will look
as an adult. the muts were nice and playful.... but we have no idea how
big they will get. my sister really wants a small little dog that she
can have for herself. and I think what she has in mind is a lap dog that
is small eough to carry around and stuff. and if the dog grows to be
like 15-18 pounds... I don't think she'll be carrying it around much.
and from how the guy described the father of the muts, it sounded to be
long and stubby legged.... dachsund like. and my mom doesn't like those
dogs. I'm not all that crazy about them either.

I would prefer getting the dog from a shelter or whatever... and we've
been checking regularly for months now.... but small dogs are pretty
hard to come by. they go quik as they are quite popular. unfortunately,
we never found any dogs that we were really interested in getting. but
the point is, these dogs are already here and whichever we get, its
gonna get fixed. my mom mentioned maybe getting the chihuahua to breed
since its purebred.... but I shot that down pretty quickly. I am well
aware of the mass euthenasia that's going on and I fully support the
efforts of rescue shelters and stuff.... but this opportunity presented
itself and it would seem to be too good to pass up... since we don't
have to worry about competition for the dogs like we would at a shelter
where hundreds of people have access.... these dogs have been offered
exclusively to us.

so yeah.

Lana's 40 lbs and she's still in denial that she's not a lap dog. She sits in mine every chance she gets.

Yea I'm with Ken on the chih; but it's your dawg.

I actaully like the way my girldfriends dog is. Its half chihuahua and half jack russel. Thankfully, it looks mostly like a jack russel. It's one funny ass dog.

Yes, I understand. I went to the shelter many times before I adopted Ginger and I realised all the small dogs were taken pretty quickly.

Anyway, now that your sis has more or less decided on the chihuahua, I'm sure she will give the it lots of love and attention, won't she ? :)

Post some pics up ! :)
