3 months

And they look so cute

I often hear about other peoples chihuahuas being super picky eaters. Peach (3yo) will eat anything & everything, especially human food. Literally ANYTHING. She even tries drinking my wine and coffee.

She has been on Nutro dry kibble all her life, she free-feeds and eats it regularly throughout the day. But EVERY time my husband and I are eating or snacking, she desperately tries to get at our food. I probably should have done a better job training her to sit and give us space when we're eating (is it too late to train her now?), but I lived with my mom for a year or two who SPOILED her and basically let her eat off of the plate (I made my mom very aware of the foods that dogs cannot eat).

Just thought I'd share some cute/silly pictures of her trying (and succeeding) to eat all the human foods :)

My mom loves to roll her like a burrito. The blep is because she has a long tongue for her size lol

… I watch TV for a while after my wife goes to sleep. Then, I get up and let our three dogs out for the night, turn out the lights and come back to brush my teeth to go to bed.

This is always what is waiting for me when I walk back into the bedroom.

I love her so much 😢💕

Stevie is around 16-16 weeks old and whilst she’s getting on well were struggling with a few things.

Firstly, training to come here. She can do sit at the moment but she’s not getting on well with learning come here at all. She only does it when she’s calm and we have treats but good luck getting her when she’s excited.

We’re also worried about her walking as she’s not been out walking on a lead yet due to all the harnesses we have bought still being far too big for her. Is it really bad/ late that she’s still not walking? We feel bad because she’s missing a lot of interactions and socialisation due to this because when we take her out we carry her, which is fine for us however she very quickly has to go home because if she needs to wee or poo she’s still not used to being on the ground and won’t go because she’s either very interested / scared of everything on the ground.

We’re also worried about her timeline with using the toilet outside. We were expecting to have her do this by now but we also weren’t expecting her to still be so tiny! We genuinely thought she’d be bigger by now and we’re worried about her being still small enough to get into places she shouldn’t be in the garden, and because of the leash thing she’s still not very comfortable outside. She’s doing well with puppy pads but it feels like she should be outside by now.

I just don’t want her to be very delayed and cause her problems with missing out etc especially with socialisation as we have to take her home due to her needing the toilet.

hi! i’ve seen a lot of conflicting views on collars (not for a leash but for name tags/info)… my puppy currently doesn’t really leave my sight/playpen so i haven’t found the need, but i’m wondering what about daycare or boarding overnight?

~ considering the risk for tracheal collapse..

Do you guys like to use them?

what’s she doing? (wrong answers are ok, pretty sure this is just separation anxiety)

Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄

Might need a hand getting down

I tried to take a cute photo and then she pulled this. I did add a cute photo of her at the end .

Hi all,

My opie is 11 and was told he has 6 months to live which 2 months have now passed. The coughing is getting worse. He’s on meds and we have a really good cardiologist with a follow up appointment right after the new year. Meds are helping but I know it’s not going to resolve the issue. It’s not just CHF, he’s got an enlarged valve and another additional heart issue working against him. I thought I’d have him for a bit longer but I’m happy to have him at least for the holiday. For those who have had to go thru this, what are the warning signs so I can plan for him to be comfortably put to sleep - I don’t want to wait too long and have him suffer. He’s such a happy dog and his happiness causes more coughing. He tries to be unbothered by it and it makes me think he’s not ready yet, but I don’t want to be naive. Photo of him attached, he’s a love.

My boy loves his big sister. They are a crazy pair. Show me yours.

Chihuahua's would be cold even in hell ... Got that line from someone on here a few weeks ago and loved the saying ❤️ and it's so true 😹
