I need to include my second Chihuahua, as he is now, almost two years old and came to our home last June. He has been such a delight to have for, Maggie, as a companion and an exercise coach!
Maggie was accepting her life of sleeping all day and laying around in what ever room I happened to be working in.
I was concerned about her not getting enough exercise and didn't really want to take her for walks and have to wonder whether or not I should have to pick up her poo, as some of the neighbors do.
I do not consider this an enjoyable hobby or chore, and would rather she stay within the boundaries of her backyard with the fence that we had put in.
Tigger Too was Heaven-sent and just what I hoped an additional little dog would be.
He adores Maggie! He fell in love with her the minute we laid him in her bed and she loved him just as much in return.
They spend their days going out and in, round and round, upside down and rolling all over the place while playing tug of war on the floor with an old sock.
Tigger Too is a much smaller Chihuahua, but, he thinks that he is in charge of her and when she is not willing to go out, Tigger Too, turns around and bites her legs until she is herded out the door!
Both of them have been a great help to me in getting my fourteen year old daughter up each morning! My command is, "Maggie and Tigger, go get Laura out of bed!" They bound off their favorite spot on the hearth and run downstairs and bark at Laura's bedroom door until she unwillingly gets up as the dogs will annoy her until she does!
Don't think they don't earn their weight in dog food! They are the sweetest companions and good alarm dogs, and great at annoying a fourteen year old that hates waking up in the morning!
Love to the Universe out there,
Kathie Jo
p.s. I am going to add more pictures of the dogs as soon as I figure out how to do that!
