15 years ago, I rescued a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix. He was a little sack of bones, with all his ribs, hip bones, shoulder blades showing. His name was Peanut. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge around Memorial Day. He was about 5 weeks shy of his 17th birthday. He was a great companion for my elderly husband until he passed in 2020. And the next 4 years, he was my buddy even though he missed his "daddy" a lot. If you have a chance to name a little dog Peanut, it is a great name for a special little guy.

[@wallhagens2001]

That is a great name. I’ve had rescue Chis named “Banjo,” “Shippo” and “Ladybug.” 😊

[@lesleyhada8432]

I don't think he's a Chihuahua, although I get why people would mistake him for one.. I have several Prague ratters & Russkiy toys (they originated in Russia as rodent hunters) & he is identical to a couple of mine, so I'd almost bet he is one of them.. (if only I could figure out how to send photos with this msg to show you..) but it'd be cool to check into it, don't you think, just to be sure what he really is for his sake?? They are some of the most awesome companion dogs ever- fiercely loyal, extremely sweet & loving.. just the best, in my opinion!! They also have these cute little quirks that are very significant to their breed (please research on them- they are so fascinating!!). Thank you..

[@annsamsel1720]

Your name is Chisholm, where are you from?

[@moonwalk1031]

I'm in agreement that the foot lift is him wanting/expecting to be scooped up. What he's saying is so clear if you recognize that: "Pick me up and take me out of here!" Which is there's all that up and down. Because you're scooping him (right) but not taking him out (wrong). This perplexes him and so he goes back down, waits and tries again. He wants out of this place, and he's been trained that being scooped up = going out. Such a good smart dog!

Where I used to live a stray Chi showed up. It took me weeks to catch it, as it was so scared. No collar, no chip, not claimed. I got her cleaned up, healthy and happy and she was adopted out and has been living a good life ever since. There was another little stray Chi I rescued off a busy street where he was in danger of being run over while trying to eat some food trash. He was very fearful and trying to threaten and bite me, til I had him in my car, and then he melted and just wanted to be cuddled. He also got cleaned up, fostered and adopted.

We just rescued a 1 year old black mouth cur about 55 pounds. He was found running around my husband’s plant. He was giving us kisses from the first moment that we picked him up and he was in good condition so we figured he just escaped. We had to hold him for a day because intake was full and he managed to behave himself with our 18 yr old chihuahua mix and spicy senior cat. We brought him to the shelter because we figured he had to have a family missing him. The animal control guy was getting a tongue straight to his brain via his ear when he picked him up😂. The officer told me that it actually was really common to see super sweet and loving dogs, one, because they aren’t afraid of people but also because people can’t meet the demands of having them. That seemed so sad to me that it was the dogs who most need a loving home who wind up in the shelter. We waited until his hold was up and took him because we knew he already got along with our pack and because we didn’t want to leave him there. It has already paid us back with our senior dog getting a little more pep in his step.

My experience with chihuahuas is that they think of themselves as a prince or princess. They’re very adamant about what they like and dislike. They love being pampered. He’s such a cutie and I’m so happy he was able to go back home with his family. It’s difficult not to feel bad for the little guy when he was shaking. Being in an unfamiliar place and not knowing what’s going to happen to him. He was precious. I love the name Louie. Perfect for a Prince.

Chihuahuas just shake. It can be from cold, fear, excitement, just about anything. My son has 2 and they are constantly shaking. They do better with a sweater, or a blanket they can curl up under. Cute little stinkers, but I love the big dogs.

Mine also thought he was 6 feet tall and weighed 450 lbs. The only 2 things that scared him were coyotes and Akitas.

He's a deer chihuahua. The long legs and ears and the contoured body look like a white tail deer that is what that breed was named after. I have an apple head. Short ears, short legs an body is less contoured with a dome head with a much shorter "stop" and muzzle.

@@cindyevans9560 A slight correction; it's deer head as opposed to apple head

My chichi is the boss

Seeing him reminds me of the tiny black Chihuahua I rescued from my neighbors yard after her dog attacked him. People in the neighborhood said he ran with some other dogs but no one knew who he belonged to. Local dog pound could take him but he wouldn’t get medical attention for three days. I told him I would tend to his wounds. If no one put up a sign looking for him, he would be mine. Two weeks later I had him chipped and vaccinated. He has been with us for 5 years now and I just adore him. Thank you for all you and your wife do for these animals. You are a blessed man who knows how to pay it forward. Happy 4th of July. 🎆🎇🥰

Lol....when you said you can catch some cell reception with those ears it reminded me of my little Chihuahua boy that looked similar to (Wiggles) Louis! We named him Radar becuse of his big ole ears!!!!! He was the best boy! We saved him from a puppy mill and got him healthy with the help of our great Vet!! He lived to be 15 yrs old! He went to the rainbow bridge several years ago. Miss that sweet boy soooo much! BTW I'm a HUGE Chihuahua momma!! Will ALWAYS have one in my life the most loyal of pups ever!! I've had Chihuahua's my whole life!

We need somebody to make treats for elderly dogs that have no teeth They're not there

[@wildflower1397]

Yes! Mt cat is older and won't eat most crunchy treats. She is not strong enough to be sedated for dental work, and needs to eat more. Would love some chewy Kanaka yums!

[@valsmith7413]

That would be great...no chewing problems....!!❤

[@rdeniserhinehart7512]

They are by Blue Buffalo. Top chews. Chicken and apple sausage bites

He is adorable! My girlfriend just rescued a chi mix & she’s beautiful! Now I want one! I’m 71 so would prefer an older one. I live in an apartment.
