Mickey is very well potty trained. He uses his doggy door to go in and out whenever he wants. I don't know about Minnie. I'm taking her out every 3 hours but so far she's only actually potties 2x. She strained quite a bit pooping and it was hard when I cleaned it up right after she went. She hasn't messed in the house at all yet. Last night she was in her crate all evening and then up on my daybed all night in a little bed. She slept all night. Today she at 1/4 plus 2 tbsp of Iams puppy dry food. She hasn't pooped yet. She's curled up sleeping in my lap now.
Friday Minnie has a vet appointment. She'll have her stitches checked and checked to see how her kennel cough is doing. We're keeping Mickey away from Minnie until the vet says she's clear of kennel cough. I haven't tried a leash on her yet. Once she's completely well, hopefully next week, I'll start leash training and call my trainer and sign up for classes. I just made an album called Mickey and Minnie I just created. I didn't find a way to get the link to it, sorry. If anyone knows, please let me know. \ \ /\ Alice ( ) whiterabbi...@gmail.com .( ).

Now all you have to do is ask questions and post a few photos! You didn't say but I am assuming your dogs are potty trained, if not, you must start training right away. Are they on a good brand of food? You can Goggle and find ratings on the different brands, the first five ingredients listed are important, you want meat and veggies and many like to have their dog food be grain free. You probably have already noticed that Chihuahuas like to play, so some soft toys and some chew toys are a good idea. They also would benefit from nice walks, so buy a leash and a halter for each (no collar, halter). Then of course, a nice soft bed in a space they can call their own. That should get you started.
