Toby is a senior dog and will need a home willing to accept and love a 10 years young dog!

"...My 2 Chi's think they are Pitbulls in a Chihuahua body!" I did not know that Chihuahuas live up to 22 years. Talk about a great family pet! I had to put my childhood dog -- a 14-year-old Shih Tzu named Bilbo -- to sleep in August, and I thought he had an amzing life span! Even if you have a dog, cat, rat, rabbit, bird, fish, or some disturbing hybrid from that list, it is a commitment. It may be a few months or a few decades. You hit the nail on the head: when you get a pet, "you are truly making a lifetime committment." Don't we wish everyone understood that simple concept! Do you have photos of your babies on Spotted? I'd love to see them!

I have added some under "Spotted" and in the Pet Photo's Galleries. I agree that no matter what type of pet you have it's a committment. We have done the bird, hamster, fish and dogs. My mother-in-law gave myself and her 2 daughters 5 koi out of her fish pond one time... all theirs died and all of mine but 1 died.... it lived for over 5 years! It just died last month...it was so big I had to use both hands to take it out of the tank. It was huge! Needless to say it didn't go "down the pipes" to fish heaven like most of them do...it would have clogged it up! People are talking about ...Here are the recent blog postings with the most comments. |

I love the Chi's! As you can tell I am a "Chi" owner. But- I want people to understand something about the Chi's before they adopt one. As the AKC says the temperant is: "Quick, alert, lively & very courageous"... my 2 Chi's think they are Pitbulls in a Chihuahua body! They are very devoted to our family and have the most unique personalities. Mine are not high-strung or "yappers" as most people think but my oldest one is more devoted to "one person". The younger is very social. My mom has one that loves everyone she meets.
You also need to understand that a Chi can live up to 18 - 22 years. So if you choose one as a pet you are truly making a lifetime committment. Of course, I wouldn't trade my girls for anything.
I also have a lab who is awesome!
