Aww…thanks. I have spinal issues and wanted Dolly to have a little sister. The breeder only had boys and my heart was actually aching to get a puppy for Dolly. The first couple of months were not very pretty. But, Desi always loved Dolly from the very beginning. Dolly was having issues with her being the only one for 15 months and then all of a sudden there is this other dog that is sharing her home and her Mommy! I thought she was going to kill him, but now I think she was just teaching him the rules (maybe her rules!) I was very surprised the first time that she didn’t want to go to the vet without him, but then I thought that Desi needs some time to learn to sit still and wait patiently.
When I took Desi to get neutered and his dew claws removed, we got back in the car and Dolly was standing up in the booster seat and sniffing like crazy, sniffing towards the front of the car, and sniffing towards the back of the car, and then she was shaking and crying. She didn’t know what happened to Desi! When I had to take Dolly for knee surgery, I took her alone and when I got home, Desi looked all around for her, but then he took advantage of the situation and was Mommy’s boy all day. He is so affectionate that it is hard to get mad at him. I used to give him sermons about only going potty on the puppy pad, and he would just sit on the bed and tilt his head back and forth with those beautiful little eyes staring at me. I actually thought that he was missing something between those ears!

He sounds so easy to love. Such a cute story you shared about him kissing everyone in the waiting room and then how concerned he was about Dolly and where was she. He seems really aware of what is going on around his environment. I love his eyes, too, noticed them right away in the pictures you post -- they just seem to clue you in to his kind, sweet, loving personality. He IS an original.

So the other one comes and sits patiently in the exam room…well, Desi doesn’t have that capability…he kissed every person in the waiting room, went right up to a huge dog and started smelling him and kissing him, etc. In the exam room, every time that he heard my vet’s voice, his tail wagged so hard against the back of the bench. He jumps down on the floor when the vet comes in and stands up against his leg. My vet just loves him. But, when the vet took Dolly to the back, then Desi got real nervous…he couldn’t find his sister…when they brought Dolly back, Desi was all over her with kisses. He is definitely one of a kind! I love that little guy and he provides a lot of entertainment. They are sleeping in the recliner together and I am trying to get some work done…I love the quiet moments too!

As for Mr. Desi, I think he is gorgeous... tell him, handsome, though, k? _____ From: Joan Croft <[email protected]> To: Joan Croft <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, March 16, 2011 10:20:32 AM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Going to the vet today I have to take Dolly to the vet today because she is having some respiratory issues. I am giving her the Atarax, but really need the vet to look at her because of her history of respiratory infections. Dolly will never go without Desi, and vice versa. I will have him weigh and examine Desi to see if he needs a little more food. He looks thin to me because Dolly is shorter and therefore looks wider. They have different bone structure too. Desi is very long and tall and his rear bones are quite a bit narrower. He has the little doxie wrists where his feet point outward…maybe I should bring that to the attention of the vet because he is very long and has those feet…maybe a bit doxie in him.
