Still alive and kicking or should I say barking at 14 years of age, though she's not as enthusiastic about looking for apples in the yard as she was in her younger years. It could be because she's missing some teeth so it's not as fun biting into the apple. <br />

At 12 years of age the little weasel (aka, my Chihuahua) is still feeling in her prime and likes feasting on Popeye's chicken and any other kind of fast food she can sink her teeth into.<br />

The word is a marketing gimmick and is not officially recognized as a breed description. <br />
<br />
Before you decide you want to get a "teacup" Chihuahua or any other toy breed labeled as "teacup", be aware a toy dog that is undersized for its breed very often has health issues which may have an impact on how long it will live. It is also very fragile and prone to accidents, a fall from a bed or sofa, or even getting stepped on can be fatal.<br />
<br />
Many breeders of small dogs advertise their litters as teacups because people are willing to pay more for them but no breeder can guarantee how large or small a puppy will grow. Those of you in search of a teacup would do well to keep in mind that even a toy dog that grows larger than it should be is still going to be a very small dog....and more fun to play with because you won't feel like you're walking on egg shells.<br />

Haven't posted much in quite a while, been busy making designs for pet placemats and other art related stuff. You can personalize the mats online with your pet's name and change background color too.

My chihuahua has a stuffed Woodstock, you know, one of the characters from the Peanuts/Charlie Brown comic strip.(see photo below) Woody as we call it is almost as big as she so when she is holding it in her mouth she can't see what's in front of her. This caused her a bit of trouble getting it down the stairs with it. But being the resourceful little weasel that she is, she found a way. She would drop it onto the step, climb down to that step, pick it up and drop it to the next step, repeat until she got to the bottom. Is that smart or what?<br />

My dog got a fleece lined parka but she didn't want to walk with it on so it went back to the store. I think the leg holes didn't fit properly and that resulted in the edges pressing against her armpits (legpits?) Oh well, at least I got a few nice snapshots. Does she look cute with the little fur edged hood or what?<br />

The little weasel has an itchiness problem, the vet said it's mild allergies but didn't recommend anything for it, so at the petstore the sales clerk suggested a shampoo called Tropiclean.<br />
<br />
It didn't do anything for her itchy skin but it left her smelling spring fresh. Got a smelly dog?

It was clear blue skies all day today, the perfect day for munching on the last apple that was left on the tree. I picked it for my Mom but she wanted poochy to have it since it's the little weasel's favorite summertime activity. Now that all the apples are gone and autumn is here, the weasel doesn't have anything to do in the yard. </div>

My Chihuahua likes to sneak apples that she finds in the backyard and bring them into the house. Did you ever notice how selfish dogs are? When no one is around my dog drops the apple and ignores it but if she sees me approaching she quickly snatches it and holds it in her mouth. I walk away, she drops it again, I approach, she grabs it and holds it.

I drew this Chihuahua in a free vector graphics program called Inkscape that I'm learning how to use. Vector graphics are scalable meaning that they could be enlarged to whatever size without and loss of quality. Browsers can't read vector graphics so they need to be converted into a format that will enable browsers to display them such as jpg, gif or png. My little chihuahua is a gif. Um, not the little weasel, I mean the cartoon chihuahua here.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the little weasel, she's been snoozing under her blanket, I guess she's waiting for spring like the rest of us. Anyone who wants to try out Inkscape can download it at <a href="http://inkscape.org/" target="_blank">inkscape.org</a> <br />

Does your dog have one of those toys that's so worn out and dirty it's only fit for the garbage but you don't have the heart to throw it out because your dog loves it so much? Well this is my chihuahua's donkey and this is how she carries it around the house.
By the way, any advice on how to wash stuffed dog toys?
