WE BOUGHT ANOTHER DOG"----Lord love a Duck eh! Himself and I must be crazy! ---- --It is NOT a German Shepherd-- (Whew eh?)---- I want another German Shepherd--- but----- because of Himself's age--AND--I am NO spring Chicken either--- and if either of us passed on to the great world where-ever, and the other one of us were left, that person could never survive in this large house--like---if we had 2 large Germans, where on earth would we move?-There are not too many houses with huge yards--
But, before I decided completely, I called the breeder where Tess was from --no puppies -- I then called a few other breeders and there are no puppies anywhere and if there are, they are spoken for--
So, I sensibly thought that REALLY we should not have another large puppy-- SO----- (You will freak out for sure!)----- I bought a tiny wee fella--- a Chihuahua-----well----- ( a lifespan of 12 to 20 yrs)-
We pick him up Oct 3rd, in Barrie , ON-------- He looks like a rat---- He is dark brown and black and very small--so--we go from one extreme to the other. Beau already plays with Lola, son#3's dog, the same breed as the one we are getting so I know he will be OK with the new pup--
I still cry ---not as much--- but, there are moments--- I miss Tess a lot! I know we were so fortunate to have had her as long as we did--- Her breeder has puppies in January ----- and yu know----- it is something to think about-- Lord love a Duck! Himself will never ------well--ya jess never know!
I couldn't help smiling and laughing when I read your blog. Picturing Big Beau and this teeny-tiny chihuahua, ADORABLE! Wishing you much joy and happiness with your new bundle when you get him! So happy for you and Himself!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the stories to come when Beau and ____? get to know one another. Your new pup, even when full grown, will probably be more Sushi's size! Congrats on finding this little one, and thanks to your son #3 for his help in the project.
ReplyDeleteBTW, a tiny little Chihuahua was the first dog I was ever scared of, as a teenaged baby-sitter. They can be fiercely protective of their human family, and those teeth are sharp as needles! I made the family put her harness and leash on before they left me, so I could take her walking to the park when I took the baby, and she (Ponchita, the dog) would NOT let me touch her to put that leash on. Every dog is different... here's hoping much joy in the house with this new addition!
Aww, so happy for you! A little dog will be much easier to handle. Just make sure he doesn’t get under your feet & trip someone. He will certainly keep you active! I
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that you are getting a new dog. And a chihuahua. We have one all white named Molly and she is the cutest lovable sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteThat’s wonderful news Lynda! I’m sure it will be quite different with a small dog but it will be much easier to handle. Think of all the work you have to look forward to with the training etc. That will keep you busy and I hope Beau adjusts. Have a good night. 👍
ReplyDelete"Speedy Gonzales" came to mind reading about your new puppy. Speedy is a Looney Tunes cartoon that you can Google if not familiar with him. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's exciting to look forward to a puppy. Our preference would be another Lab but we have Wiggles who is part Chihuahua and part Shih Tzu. We don't have the stamina for a big dog anymore. I think Max the cat is slightly larger. I look forward to your puppy stories.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well, good luck. Make sure to get in writing which son will take all of the pets.This is important stuff. Is your weather changing into Fall yet?
ReplyDeleteGood evening, Lynda. Beth here. I am so happy for you and the new puppy. You will enjoy him. Can hardly wait to see pictures of him and learn what his name will be. Enjoy your evening.
ReplyDeleteIf you want another German, I'd go for it. You have room for the little
ReplyDeletedog also. Blessings...I have cried right along with you Lynda.
What a lovely blog hope the new arrival gives you as much joy :)
ReplyDeleteThat is great news. When our Bella died we got Scooter about three months later. The best decision we made was getting a new dog. I can wait to see him.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the puppy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday
When I mentioned your choice in a new dog, my hubby replied - Oh, they got a Teacup German Shepard. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHy--I like thay--a teacup Gertman Shepherd! -- Hugs, Lynda
DeleteA new adventure - I am already amused by the difference in size. I hope the new companion is good for all y'all. ♥️
ReplyDeleteSounds good..how old is the pup? You guys are too much!! Chuckle!
ReplyDeleteWow...I have never been a fan of tiny "yappy" dogs . . . I am more the big dog type . . .hat is why we have a Newfoundland/Great Pyrenes mix. Hope the new dog fits right into your family.
ReplyDeleteYou will love your new puppy! My BFF has one. Raised with love...not nervous and nippy like others I have known. Your remaining German will not be alone, and may just "parent" the puppy.
ReplyDeleteI am with you about the clothes, too. Retired now, the fanciest place I go is out to eat with my daughter who is 45 minutes away. How many dressier clothes does one need now? {{{HUGS}}}
Oh Lynda, my last two dogs were wee Chihuahuas and the very last one never got to be 3 1/2 lbs, our vet was very pleased with her! She'd eat just the amount of food she'd need, then walk away from her dish, isn't that something? Our first Chi, my husband constantly was giving her treats and feeding her from the table - she turned out to be huge and had many medical problems. I vowed he wasn't to do that with the second one and he didn't! These Chi's are lovable, adorable and very cuddly, loyal pups, I know you & Fred will both adore yours! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new puppy. Looking forward to the pictures and stories.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a new puppy. My neighbour has one - very friendly and she is cute and doesn't seem to need a lot care. That will be a long trip that you can get out of pandemic clothes for! And it's good that you already know Beau should be fine with the pup since he knows one now. It will be exciting.����
ReplyDeleteBig Beau and a wee Chiwauwau....sounds great. Congratulations. Blessings to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteHow old is this puppy? Did you pick out a name yet? Well now Beau will have company once again and that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your decision of the new pup. Remember to put a Bell around his neck so you know where he is before you step on him. Can't wait to see pictures of the little rat er dog that is! (((HUGS)))

ReplyDeleteDo you have a dog who is always begging for food? Is it hard to keep up with his hunger? The best way to feed your dog on a regular basis is to have an automatic dog food dispenser. This dispenser will feed your dog when he's hungry, and it will keep him fed without you having to worry about it.
