Tinkerbelle was brought home one night by my oldest son's former fiancee,because she wasn't thriving. She worked at the pet store that was selling her, the store sent sick animals home with employees so that they could be monitored. My hubby saw me cuddling her and I cut off a big hunk of polar fleece to wrap her up.
3 days later I came home from work and my family was sitting on the sofa with Tinkerbelle. Hubby spent an arm and a leg on this 3#fur ball. Basically $500 a #. It turns out she was a puppy mill dog, she is a pure-breed Chihuahua but she has some major issues....now she is our baby.
