Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ohhhh! Have you ever seen a prettier little dog? My name is Bibbles, and I am a Chihuahua. I do have lovely eyes, don’t I? Why, thank you! Tee hee! I’m 2 years old and weigh about 5 pounds. I’m a loving, sweet, and calm girl!
I was relinquished because my previous family said I didn’t get along with their other dogs. Well, my eyesight is impaired, and this is a condition I have had since birth. I get around quite well, but I must admit it is a bit frightening when another dog comes up to me suddenly. I suspect this may be why I had some issues with the other dogs in my previous home.
One of the nice volunteers here decided to take me home for a few days so that she could share some observations about me. I think you will find them helpful!
Upon arrival at the volunteer’s home, I was greeted by her two dogs, but I ignored them and explored the house. I did not care about her cats and even walked right into one while exploring the hall. No problem! Her resident Chihuahua growled at me when I inadvertently got into her space, but I just politely went the other way. I showed the volunteer that I love following a human around the house, lap-sitting, and rolling over for belly rubs! I know how to walk on a leash, although I sometimes get confused about which way to walk! But with your gentle guidance, I think I will do just fine.
The volunteer observed that I am okay being confined during the day, and crated at bedtime. But I must say that I ADORE being able to sleep on the human bed! If allowed, I will sleep on a pillow at the top of the bed, and dream right along with you! My favorite dream is about doggy treats. Tee hee! Housetrained? Why, yes, I am! Because I’m petite, though, I will need a potty break every 5 or 6 hours. I would prefer a home where I don’t need to walk up and down the stairs by myself. That would be scary!
Based on the volunteer’s observations, I think I might do okay living with other animals, as long as they are calm, don’t rough-house, and do not take offense when I inadvertently walk into them! Because children can be even more unpredictable than animals, I need to be in a family where the kids are 14 or older.
So look into my lovely eyes, and tell me you can resist me. I thought not! Tee hee! I hope we can meet soon so that I can tell you about all the love I want to give you and all the fun we’ll have together!
Update! I am now in foster care! Please contact Bonnie to get more information or to meet me, 303-424-0041.
