my kids adopted Poo-Chie for me as a Xmas gift 4 years ago. I waned to someday have a rat terrier, Poo-Chie is toy poodle and chihuahua mix but kids thought she looked like a terrier. It was three weeks to Xmas when they came in and handed me this small red foil gift bag and told me it wouldn't keep til Xmas. I opened it to find a very little brown and white pup with the most expressive big brown eyes. Only eight weeks old and so scared, she immediately found a place in my heart and in my bed as she wouldnt stay in the laundry basket at the foot of the bed. She has become my constant companion and staunch protector. She hasnt figured out yet that people arent really scared of her 10.5 lbs of ferociousness specially since she wears her heart(large rounded heart-shaped spot) on her back for all to see .
