Birthday: July 15th 2008 Likes: Roasted chicken and chasing thrown toys, (tiny ones) Pet-Peeves: Big Toys and loud noises and people who don't look before they sit. Favorite Toy: Practice hollow golf balls (she has a collection), her talking monkey Favorite Food: Rotissere Chicken, shredded or anything I'm eating! Favorite Walk: Anywhere outside and PETCO!!! Best Tricks: Piddles on command! Tell her to get the monkey and she picks it out, or get the ball and she knows the difference!! Arrival Story: We traveled about 80 miles to look at female baby Chi's at a breeders house. The breeder told us that our little one didn't like to play as much as the others and napped alot. She looked up at us with her big, soulfull brown eyes and we were instantly hooked! Love at first sight! She was 8 weeks old and came home with us, right away. Her doggie parents were straight from Mexico and it took awhile for her to recognise English. She's bilingual! She took to paper training like second nature and never had a problem knowing what to "do" on a paper! Penny LOVES to travel, especially riding on my shoulder like a little black parakeet. She just jumps right up there, from my lap and sits draped over my shoulder, very contentedly! Her fav place for a nap is my lap, anywhere my lap is. She loves all of the family and adores playing with the girls, who spoil her as she deserves. This little one LOVES to play and has toys and toys and toys she likes to chase and toss and squeek. Bio: Pennys dermatologist sais she's a "hairless" chi. She's on topical and daily anti-fungal meds. She's a year old now and 3 & 1/2 lbs. Prefers dry dog food and does super great on Wellness dog food. Tried a Ton of foods she was allergic to, but does the best on Wellness. A human dermatologist recommended it for her. She had cats with bad allergies who did super on it. Penny doesn't like any type of canned dog food at all, tried them all. LOVES roasted chicken, her fav!! Forums Motto: I eat, therefore I am.....

It all started on Thursday, the day of the month that mom gives me the yucky heartworm medicine. I have to get it in 1/4's cause I'm only 3 & 3/4 lbs and can't tolerate much of it at once. It usually only makes me a bit poopy but this time Oy Vay!!! I threw up TWICE yesterdays and had the runnys so bad it was liquid. (Sorry for details but it was BAD) Mom called my vet and they said I'm d.o.n.e. with this icky medicine, but needed to heartworm test me to be able to give me a new prescription. Mom held me and the Dr. took my blood and I didn't squeek, cry or growl or bite or anything!! I was SO brave! Mom bought me a pigs ear from the vet to celebrate my bravery. She said I'd appreciate it more than a medal and she was right. So, the vet gave her the new prescription and we went home to get it called right in and on the way home as I was chewing on my pigs ear a brittle peice came off in my mouth and I about choked! Freaked us both right out, but I was OK> Mom pulled right over and almost drove us right back to the vet! But, I was fine, so home we went. And the vet didn't even charge us for an office call, just the test! THat Dr.Hills a keeper I tell ya! I feel SO much better today!! And my new medicines already on the way. Dr.Hill said if I have probs with this new med, I maybe won't be using heartworm meds and that's scary for mom. Moms been sick ALOT lately, so we haven't been able to go to my fav places, like the petstores and stuff and mom feels bad about that, but she's feeling better now cause I've taken such great care of her! Everytime she's slept, I sleep right on top of her to watch her close and make sure she's breathing ok and to make sure no one disturbs her. It's been a big job, but I've been up to the challenge and she's up and around again, thanks to me!! YAY, I'm superdoggie!!
I can hardly believe Christmas is right around the corner!! It
s so great this year, I'm not recovering from any surgery this Christmas, so I can do zoomies around our Christmas tree, it's so great!! Mom's gone alot, shopping she sais, but I hang with dad and my sisters and we watch TV and wait for her to come home and I can smell all the cool places she's been on her clothes. I check her out really good when she gets back. Mom sais she's taking me to the Galleria to look at a HUGE tree and lots of lights. Can't wait!! New people just love to pet me and ask mom silly questions like if I'm a puppy. C'mon, I'm 2 & 1/2 years old now! My human sister Rose bought me a cool new Santa jacket and I had fun trying it on and posing for pics today! Oh, and I got my pic done with Santa at Petco last week end!! It was soo fun! Wish there was more room to post pics on this page! I'm the Christmas Pooh! Wheeee!!! Can't wait for Christmas!!
What a busy week! Tuesday Mom took me to Rocklin to my dermatologist to get a refill of my skin meds. (Being hairless is high maintenence for sure!) And this morning, we went to my regular vet for my yearly check up, shots and a nail trim. My heart and health is awesome Dr.Hill sais and he said he'd never seen a 2 year old small dog with teeth as white and in as great shape as mine before! He said normally, tiny dogs like me have at least some tartar build up, but mine are the whitest he'd ever seen! Mom was sooo happy! And the little cough I get sometimes was confirmed by him that it's probably just allergies as my heart is awesome also! Mom plans on me being the worlds oldest Chi and we're working to make that happen. I got my boosters which I took like a champ, no whining or crying even!!! and stood quietly while my nails got clipped. Dr.Hill said my knees have healed from surgery last Christmas just awesomely and that Dr.Valverde my joint surgeon did a super job!! YAY!!! Moms sooo happy!!Ooooh, it just started raining outside. Good thing I piddled about a half an hour ago! Mom got me one of those grass patches to piddle on, but I haven't used it yet as it doesn't fool me and I really prefer grass. I'm on moms lap, where I fit nicely between the laptop and her tummy all cuddled up with a furry baby blanket over me, so warm and snuggly! Mom just ordered me a Christmas surprise from Ebay and I'm trying to get her to tell me what it is, but she's a tight lipped ole broad....I may have to just wait and be surprised. Sigh. Waiting for daddy to get home so I can lick his face and tell him how wonderful he is to go to work and buy me my special food and medicines!!! He's great!!!
