Beth, here is a link on heart murmurs, it even gives you audio sound for a regular heartbeat and a murmur heartbeat and tells you what her grade level means.

I was so upset at the time, tears rolling down my face, I didn't ask what level that is? When I go back this Saturday for her re check I will ask more questions on it. Smidge hasn't coughed since her shots at the vet on last Thursday, so that is a good sign. Just over night I see the change in Ori, He is coming out of his shell. He and Dani are playing more and more. He doesn't have that blank stare like he did.

It's my understanding that is how they can keep track as to whether it is stabilized, better or worse as they age. That's interesting that the other girls don't have any concern for Ori. That s how it is between Princess and Gigi too. The only time that I see any interaction between them is when I give them a rawhide. Then Gigi waits for Princess to chew on it so that is soft enough for her to mulch on, since she doesn't have that many teeth. As soon as Gigi sees a chance to grab Princess s rawhide, then she runs full speed ahead and dives for it. I have to laugh, one time she actually pulled it out of Princess's paws and dragged it across the room to her bed. Princess then came whimpering and crying to me and begging me to take it from her. I just go hysterical laughing as I watch the two of them, it is quite a funny show! -------Original Message------- From: Beth Michl Date: 4/4/2011 7:45:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Smidgen Hi Peggy, Well some of it sounds accurate, she wasn't aware that the person she gave Ori too had given him away. She said she got a text from that person telling her they couldn't keep him anymore, but she had asked them if they would keep him till she came back to the states in a couple months. I guess they couldn't/wouldn't do that for her?. The lady I got him from said they said they wanted a big dog they could take to the beach. I told the original owner the lady I got him from was very nice and was just concerned for him, she didn't have a fenced yard and he had chased a cat. I told her I have a fully fenced yard but he is kept inside when I am not home Also that I go home and check on them on my lunch as I am close enough to do so. Oh Dani just loves him.. The other girls Smidge and Chassis don't pay him any mind at all. LOL. I do love him so already!

I am glad that you had a chance to talk with the original owner. It does make more sense now that she put so much into him, and I have to feel bad for her it sounds like she really misses him. I am happy for you Beth. Looks like he has a great furever home and seems to blend in with the girls just fine. What more could a male want, but his own little harem! -------Original Message------- From: Beth Michl Date: 4/4/2011 11:30:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Smidgen His Name is Ori, I actually spoke with his original owner on Friday. She bought him in a pet store, actually saved him.. He had been there for over 2 months and had kennel cough bad. She spent almost 400.00 getting him healthy His original price was 1100.00, but she paid 100.00 for him because he was sick. So she had him for almost 2 years . She lost her Job just before the end of December, and had a job offer in Hawaii, he would have had to be Quarantined for 6 months, and the Job was only lasting 4. She couldn't find anyone to take care of him while she was gone so she re homed him, to someone that kept him for 2 months then the lady I got him from just had him a little over a week. He is doing well, and warming up to us, but still has that disconnection. His Original owner misses him allot! I think in time he will be okay. Smidge is doing well, not coughing at all. I can hear her heart swishing sound when it beats. Other then that she is acting like her normal self.. I worry about her, she is my 1st Chi..
