I may adopt this precious girl

I've been giving that a lot of thought because I’ve seen too many abandoned or surrendered senior animals at the shelter at which I volunteer. They are sad and bewildered to have lost their home and their people, and because they’re old it’s harder for them to get adopted and harder for them to adjust when they do.

Ronni, that is so responsible, my sister passed away last October leaving her grieving bichon frisé to fret. Thankfully my other sister was able to give the dog a home. The adoring appeal of a young dog does have to be weighed with, what if?
Your little Chihuahua has captured many a heart here, we shall all be looking forward to reading about you and your little girl. One thing is very handy with such a small dog. You won't be needing much in the way of a pooper scooper.

We LOVE our small dog. Even he loves her.

She now weights about 5 pounds and is so cute and easy to care for. Course she is hard to potty train and I have to watch her like a hawk cause she has decided she likes her poop 🤮better than her dog food. And it’s too cold to walk her outside. And she is a crazy picky eater, except for her poop 🤮. And she pees when she is excited, and she is always excited. And I do not take her out cause I am afraid she will get Covid, or stepped on, or eaten by a German Shepard.

But, other than that, yup, she’s great dog.

My beagle/terrier mix also liked to eat her fresh poop. My vet said that is normal for beagles & it won't hurt them except for bad breath. She did say if you want to have her stop eating her poo. Get "For-bid" off the internet & follow the directions.
So far it's worked.

Well, I just pick it up, immediately, usually. But every now in them she poops on her blanket and I miss seeing it until I see her chewing on something 🤮. Lately, she will stare at me which means got to take a dump mom. So I put her on the patio, and she dumps, and I pick it up.

She is peeing more on her pad now, and we are down to just one pad, and rarely on her rugs (she is still in a play pen). I can also put her out and she will pee so she is making progress, but it’s slow.

Painful though it is, when we said farewell to Rosie, we agreed that another dog might outlive us, so we are now permanent staff to a couple of spoiled Birman cats, both of whom, like us, are getting on a bit.

We've had two Birmans. Willy, our boy, spent half his life in my lap, and when we finally had to put him down, died in my arms. Brings a tear to my eye thinking about him.
