I did have five at one time. I lost two in the last three years. My other three have lots of health problems. The vet told me I was working with Senior Citizens now. They are my babies. I'll have to post a pic of me and my kids.
I have Furby, Mushka and Ginny Wren.

Oh, I also had a big boxer. He weighed 100 pounds. His name was Bubba. I lost him four years ago I think. He was so good with the poms. He loved kids. And wouldn't hurt anything. I had a baby groundhog that would hang on his lips all the time. He never did a thing. I always highly recommeng a boxer for kids.

Your little guy is absolutely adorable. But remember, there really is no such thing as a "teacup" chihuahua. (It's just a term some breeders use but it's a misnomer.) Some breeders just systematically breed small males to small females (often the runts) to produce tinier and tineir dogs. Unfortuantely, these tiny cuties often come with a host of problems their larger breed counterparts do not. I'm hoping your little guy is healthy as a horse, but when we breed just for tiny, we often get unhealthy animals.
Please understand, I'm not trying to be negative, just informative. I'm happy this guy has found such a wonderful home and you already seem to love him. But as a vet tech, I'm just speaking from experience. So enjoy your little guy but be aware that he might have some issues you'll need to deal with. As with all dogs, get a good vet to give him a thorough exam and help him stay as healthy as possible.
