They are adorable. I have 2 chihuahua's and a poodle and a mixed lab. The chi's like to sleep on the couch under some pillows or blankets during the day . the smallest one smokie (31/2 lbs) 1 yr old, if i sit down has to be in my lap or arms. he was easy to train, but i had his mom and the poodle to help. at night they both sleep in the bed in the pillows at the head of the bed(we have an old waterbed frame and pillows in it for them. they always want to be under cover or near someone. we cannot let them out by themselves either as we live in the country in ms and have hawks and coyotes also. I'm trying to figure out how to make a sling or something to put him in as he , always wants to be held. I also am in my 60's , but i wouldn't give them up for anything. The one in the picture is smokie , sitting on a pillow by my computer, as he has to be near me. good luck u will just love them.
