Chihuahuas DO NOT make good outside dogs. Due to their size, they are easy prey, due to their coat, they suffer in the cold and in extreme heat. My suggestion is that you REHOME her and try to find her a home where she will be well cared for and loved. Gloria In a message dated 7/21/2011 3:52:47 P.M.

Hi all, Am new to the group and basically a new Chi owner as well. I have had Lucy for 1 year this month. She is a rescue, found in my yard nearly dead. To the point, I was thinking of making her an outside pet but not sure if she would fair well. Temps lately have reached 100 here in southern Oklahoma. Any thoughts or comments will be most appreciated. Mary
