Dogs are wonderful companions every one has a different personality even within breeds. I have for the first time 2 chihuahua's I am fostering. Love them, couldn't stand chihuahua's before as all the ones I met were nasty mean spoiled little things. Rosa couldn't be more loving and cuddly and Niko is an active funny little boy. They do follow me everywhere. I wish you the best of luck I know how hard it is on disability, I live with my daughter and we would both love for me to get my own place.
