I'm really looking forward to being a part of the group. I haven't had a dog in the family since I was of the tween age. When I got married a couple years ago my husband and I adopted a stray cat from my parents neighborhood. From then on we were in love with cats. Needless to say we now have four of them, 2 boys and 2 girls. About six months ago I kinda decided I'd love to have a small dog in our family too, but with four cats comes lots of vet bills, food, litter, etc. So I knew we shouldn't get a dog anytime soon. That was okay, I was willing to wait until the 'right' time. Instead I searched on the net for various small dog rescues who needed foster parents in our area. I found two I was really impressed with. However one needed foster homes in NY, so I applied there. In short time we were approved to be foster parents. Our first foster was Simon, a Shih Tzu. With Simon came the knowledge that because of my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia my wrists couldn't handle a dog bigger than 10 lbs on walks. Our second foster was Lil Bit, a Pomeranian/Chihuahu a mix. I had a really hard time letting Lil Bit go when he was adopted. The only thing keeping my heart from completely breaking was that his new mom was a very wonderful woman. Our third foster, was Chi Chi, a Chihuahua. We promptly changed her name to Chianna. We received her on a Sunday morning. By that Sunday night I wasn't sure I could give her up so I started asking around if there were any applications for her yet. My area coordinator told me no and was thrilled we wanted to adopt her. She said she knew that Chianna was perfect for us and hoped we weren't mad but she was really hoping we'd adopt her. So... our hearts won over and we adopted Chianna, now renamed Jaelyn.. Jaelyn is an adorable 5lb armful. After asking around I found out she had been turned in to the rescue from a breeder down south. I don't know how long she'd been breeding, but as she's 3 years old I'm guessing one year, possibly two or more. Now she will have nothing but love and spoiling in this house. She loves attention and snuggling. Doesn't care for men so much, but she's getting there. She's already wrapped around my husband's finger, and my dad and youngest brother are on their way to winning her over too. She's never walked on a leash until about a month before she came to us. She now walks on a leash like she's been doing so for years. She wasn't quite potty trained when we got her, but she's mostly potty trained now. It's been 3 days without an accident. *fingers crossed* She gets along okay with the kitties. She hardly ever barks. My dad kept trying to tell me... 'You don't want a Chihuahua they're yappy non-stop barkers.' She proved him wrong. ;) Because Jaelyn is my first dog and the only Chihuahua I'd seen in person I do have alot of questions and things I get concerned about with her. I was hoping I could learn alot about her behavior and such from other Chihuahua mom and dads. I'm including a couple pictures I took of her last week.
