Welcome Baby Boy!




This is the new member of my family. He is almost a week old and a Chihuahua mix. He was born last Monday and now shares a birthday with a cousin of mine. The weather isn't helping too much right now because the little baby is cold even though he sleeps in a warm bed with a blanket and his mommy. He was born with a brother but his brother passed away. My family and I don't plan on keeping him because we already have five dogs (Lady, the mom, Gigio, the dad, Bambi, the son, and Lucy and Nala, the baby girls). So it's going to be hard to watch him grow and have to give him away. :(


It's a bittersweet time when the mommy, Lady, has puppies. In her first litter, she had
five boys and sadly two died. Well one was stillborn and my family and I think that she might have squished the other one. Then in the second litter she had six girls and two died. Now in her third litter she only had two and one died.


But it is truly a miracle from God when the babies are born! They arrive so little. Their paws, heads, nails, tails, eyes, ears are tiny. And then the babies grow up in such a short time. We kept two from her second litter. Lucy and Nala were born February 28 of this year and are already big girls. But they are so lovable, even though they sometimes make messes.


I haven't seen that new Chihuahua movie and I heard it made a lot of money. But the public has to know that these doggies need a lot of love and care. You can't ignore them because they'll be heartbroken. I'm sure this is the same situation with any pet. So love them.


I introduce you to Lucy (L) and Nala (R). They were born in Feb. This picture was taken in April. They're bigger now, but I love these pictures.
