I have two Chichauha's. A female that is 5 years old and the best natured dog in the world her name is Daisy, the other is a little 3 year old male Toby. They sleep with me, and Toby is my little shadow. They don't know they are dogs. They have been my constant companion since my husband died 4 years ago. We had a black Poodle but I had to put hime to sleep at 18. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but he was almost blind. One Sunday afternoon he had sa seisure and I knew the time had come. I told him it was time to go be with his Daddy and I would see them one day. Pets are the best, they love us no matter what. when I get home in the afternoon Toby is scratching on the door to welcome me home.
