Arrival Story: Our little humans love our big dogs but want a dog they can walk!
We saw that some Chihuahuas were available at a shelter about an hour away, and we soon learned the dogs had been part of a raid where 76 animals were seized. We went to visit the 8 Chi's left and Cocobear was by far the most outgoing and sweet!
Bio: Cocobear does not back down from big dogs, but he was very scared of his new huge brothers and sisters. For the first 12 hours he was here, he hid under our deck and we were very worried he may escape. Niko and Fling guarded him from any raccoons or coyotes all night, and we awoke to some angy, hungry barking early his first full day here! Coco was adopted mainly for the kids, and he knows it!
He loves all three of them- tucks them in at night and runs to wake them in the morning. He also loves to chew up any small toys they forget to clean up, but the kids are never mad at him. He is the perfect addition to our family!

I forgot to write about our fun day last Saturday- Chi rescue had an all day festival to promote their rescue and Gypsy and I went!! Everyone kept asking if Gyp was a long coat Chi- but she just licked them and wagged that loopy tail :)
The kids LOVED the little agility ring- all we could do was the tunnels since the kids didn't have any super yummy treats we wanted to work for. And their favorite part was the pen of adoptable Chis. My boys just sat in their with dogs all over them for HOURS! Who says Chis can't be good with kids? The boys wanted to take home at least one or two Chis, but mama told them I'd be sad if I had to be shared with another little dog. I like Gyp just fine, but we're enough!!
I'll put a couple pics at the end of my photo book so you can see some of my "cousins" looking for furever homes. We'll be going to the festival next year- it's already in it's 11th year and lots of fun.
You know, sometimes we just take things for granted- like going for a walk. I was rescued from a hoarder who kept me locked in a crate in my own urine and feces. I never got to go for walks, but I have sure made up for it since I got to my furever home. My brofur Levi used to love to go for walks, but since he was paralyzed, his bad leg drags and his nails bleed. So he gets to walk only on trails where there's no cement. Roper loves every second of exercise he gets after being kenneled so much as a young dog.
Many of the dogs my mama knows have gone to the Bridge lately- not dogster dogs, but dogs she knows from work or as friends. Ivan the Rottie died of a jaw tumor, two Bostons died from declining health and old age, a Greyhound pal just died from bone cancer. Now we strongly believe that all of those dogs are in a better place and enjoying every second, but not with their humans. Humans sometimes complain about things like taking the dog for a walk, but we hope you'll remember what a blessing it is to have a friend who wants to do nothing more than spend time with YOU.
So get that leash and spend some quality time with your best bud :)
My brother Levi is the one who usually gets tagged, so instead I'm going to let him rest and I'll take his turn!!
My friend Marjorie Madison tagged Levi!
This will be fun! I love games, so here is how it works.... I tell you 7 things about myself and then tag 7 of my pals to do the same. Ready?
1.I have pretty much white on my face, but the vet still thinks I'm only about 4 or 5.
2. I am really part bear- I love to hibernate! I sleep under the bed and won't budge in the morning until absolutely necessary. Once I'm out, I usually stay out and play a while, though.
3. I love to just sit in the sun. Sunbathing is one of my favorite activities. Too bad I live in WA!!
4. I really don't care for any of the dogs in my family. And to tell them, I growl and show my teeth at them. I've even nipped them a few times- who says only herding dogs get to nip? I do like the cats and humans ;)
5. My favorite thing in the whole world is going on off leash forest hikes with my humans- a big dog always goes with me to protect me, but I love all the smells and being able to mark anything I want.
6. Despite being a hoarding rescue and living in a small dirty cage for so long, I've always been very neat and clean...and reliably housebroken. I never want to go back to the dirty way of life.
7. I am a Chihuahua- not a Pom- and I love to snuggle under blankies and get tummy rubs!
Now for the 7 pals I tag- well, I'm only going to tag 3 today.
