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.

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.

I have a 12yr old chihuahua I got him when he was 3yrs old .he shivers all the time so I made him a heavy fuzzy blanket sleeping bag. He's always in it.

[@velvetbees]

He's so little. Sweet baby.

I lost my little Chihuahua Lucy last year. I had her since she was 8 weeks old. She passed on her 18th birthday. This little guy looks just like her. Same markings. I miss her so much❤️

[@wallhagens2001]

❤ it’s hard. I lost my chi Banjo over a year ago and still miss him so much.

[@diapricea4888]

So sorry, I know there's a big hole in your heart.

[@elisabethhadley7182]

Your smile is priceless when he jumped into your lap!

[@donnahubler881]

He looks like our little “Spark” therapy dog. God bless you for loving his creatures.

My husband and I had a minpin,we adored him, his name was Jakie, and had a sister, border collie, Lady Baby. They both died two weeks after my husband pass, one day apart. I went through a very long grieving time. Our four legged children are a Gift from OUR FATHER. THEY LOVE US UNCONDITIONAL. GOD BLESS, BE SAFE. ❤😂❤😅

For those with dogs scared of the fireworks, just a suggestion: turn all your devices on. Turn the volumes up. If your critters are like ours, they are used to cartoons, news, tv shows, in almost every room. We don’t have a ‘center room” in our house. And all the noise from devices wont stop them from hearing the fireworks, and being afraid, but, it helps to drown out some of the softer booms, and filters the loud or close ones. Our particular neighbor hood will celebrate for the week. They started last night. Not a lot, I guess just trying out their stash of fireworks. They will fire off through the weekend. I don’t have to travel to see a show, I can see a fun one from my back yard. But the noise is hard on the critters. I’ll end up with 4 dogs trying to get in my lap, or sit on my feet, for hours. Bed time is difficult. I don’t mind the people celebrating, I enjoy it, but the dogs do have a tough time! Have a happy 4th!

You'd think they'd make special earplugs for doggos that get so scared during fireworks.

[@topcatwarrior]

@@bkm2797There are several brands of noise canceling headphones for dogs widely available.

[@duckduckgoats2767]

You can also find videos on KZbin made to desensitise dogs to fireworks. People play them softly with treats and affection, and gradually increase the volume until the animals are used to the noises.

[@alexandrapomeroy8050]

One of my two dogs was terrified of fireworks and my go to, to help her was Bruce Willis Die Hard films! Good and loud!

[@tandiparent1906]

Great idea...thanks n happy 4th weekend.

[@deborahfoster5520]

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.

[@Lora-sv4zc]

I've had my Chihuahua for nine years. She's been one of my smartest, sweetest, alarm and best friend. Ive had many different breeds and i can say she is one of my favorites.

[@kimawelec1909]

The UK artist lady is next level talented, wow, blown away!!

[@collineare]

A t-shirt of Lucy Lindsell's portrait would be great - a win-win for both parties.

[@greenofhearts]

What an excellent idea!! I would buy one!

[@grammylu4358]

Me too! Great idea​@@greenofhearts

[@rachelpatten8889]

Prints would be nice, too.

[@jerisharpe906]

She should put it up for bid & donate the money to the shelter. What a beautiful picture . Artist is really talented. Wonderful shrlter.

[@betsynorton391]

Oh Rocky this little man is adorable. Wish I didnt live so far away. Im in Seattle, WA.

[@jacquelineraines2074]

My boss's dog was my experience with a chihuahua. He came to the office every day and ran the place until 5. Let me tell you, a well fed chihuahua can eat its weight in food! Our rule was do not feed Juan! If a donut was on the desk, it would disappear and one day the little thief ate my entire deli sandwich! Loved that little guy and he helped me compile training manuals daily. Just so you know, Louie was not all that hungry. VERY glad they were able to reunite him with his family as they are truly loyal.

[@keithgriffiths9864]

My Pomeranian would eat till she exploded given half a chance. She was rescued from the streets❤

[@sabrinapittsley2304]

I have a chi puppy that size I adopted from a rescue in February 2013. She was 2 pounds when I got her. She will be 13 on November 11. She was spayed too early and has all kinds of joint issues.especially her knees and curved spine. She had surgery 2 years ago on her neck to attach the bone and ligaments together using screws and bonding. The surgeon in Gainesville Florida did an excellent job, because she became completely paralyzed. She’s able to walk now. He said all her issues are from her being spayed too little and too young and her growth hormones stopped developing because of being spayed too young. I love her to death. That dog reminds me of my dogs demeanor.

[@steamedwatermelon2165]

I never used to run. I still don't, but i didn't used to, too.

[@rockykanaka]

🤣👏

[@barbannco]

I would adopt "Wiggles " in a heartbeat....hes adorable

[@GabyRielle-l3l]

I'm so glad you love all dogs, big and small. That's so sweet and amazing. ❤❤❤❤

[@jeanineruggeri4573]

He looks like h was taken care of. So social and eats! Is he lost? Hope his family finds him.

[@joes1st]

The eye contact and the body language of the Shepard in the painting is most impresdive. ❤️🏆

[@belindahammons3193]

I think he's so cute with those ears.

[@joyannwesson]

My long-haired chihuahua was named peanut. He passed away 1999. That guy is so cute. Wiggles is a cute name. I'm glad Louie was returned home. 😊

[@2zwaantjes]

We fostered chihuahuas for rescue in Port Harbor, FL, called 'Bingo'. Once we had a longhaired Chi boy, named 'Romeo'. That's 12, 13 years ago. I deeply regret not adopting him EVERY day.

[@LolaLaRue-sq6jm]

I'm not. I'm VERY suspicious of Louis' family. When my old girl got loose, I had called very shelter in hysterics in 3 minutes flat, got her back in 15. Why did the shelter have to hunt for THEM instead of the other way around? No phone calls? NO CHIP?? Who doesn't bother to have their dog CHIPPED, for God's sake? Give me a BREAK! Poor Louis should NOT be given back to those people!

[@diapricea4888]

​@@LolaLaRue-sq6jmI think the same way. Louie deserves better. Owners should've been actively looking for him, but instead...maybe he will show back up. Infuriating you let him go back to them.

[@albertmeursault]

Mr Wiggles didn’t even need a swoop! What a cutie, thanks for caring for him and sharing his story

[@darrengodbee3397]

I love this breed there my favorite dogs but I love all dogs and want to protect them every one of them I’m already in love with this little guy
