DU, need your help. I'm thinkin of adopting another Chihuahua.
That will make 4. Am I crazy? How many of you out there own Chihuahuas? Check in and tell me about them. How many of you out there have 4 or more pups. Can we talk about it? What are your experiences.

Here is JJ's picture. If I adopt him and he lets me rename him what should his new name be?

3. They're a very cute addiction to have.
If you can manage 4, then go for it. But let us know when you need an intervention. :)

8. Good rule of thumb
If you live with someone, the person who wants the fewer animals wins.

If you live alone then you don't get that reality check. :shrug:

17. Tell her thanks. I'd love to PM you my email to send to her I'd like
to email her and talk with her. I'd also send y'all pix of my pets album on yahoo.
I'm concerned but I've even dreamed about JJ. I can't get him off my mind. I totally love him.

16. I have 14 dogs, none of which are Chihuahuas.
It's all about your personal situation and how the dogs get along. There's a dynamic you have to recognize, and you need to stay Alpha.

Most of my dogs are rescues (formerly abused pitbulls, no less). If 4 Chis makes you "crazy" then what the hell am I???!!!111

21. The man and I have one.
Just one.

She's so cute.

Such a good little doggy.

They make you love them so quickly. The first day I saw her, I fell in love.

I love how she sits right in my lap and cuddles up to me.

For me, those are the best type of dogs to have, esp. since we live in a condo.

:)

:hi:

That little bugger, she just follows us all around. She's so inquisitive and smart.

Man, now I miss her! :(

22. awwww
that is so cute, the doc says no dogs, but is it true that chihuahuas are hypo-allergenic because of the short hair?

sigh

i wouldn't really take the chance, because if i did have a bad reaction, i wouldn't want to reject my pet, so i won't get one to begin with, but they are something else for cute, aren't they?

25. Cute little guy
I've got a teacup Chichi, named Taco Macho. He's seven years old and still under 5 lb.
As for renaming, JJ, my suggestion Pico Lupus,( little wolf) or Nano.
