I had to stop getting doggies! I have five, too...and I would love to have more because I find them to be so darling and so much fun, but I wouldn't get to sleep at night because I'd have to give those extra doggies attention sometime. The five that I have now are a lot of work...they're more work than probably 150 chins.
I just love them so much when they are puppies and so impossibly small with those little eyes and paws and itty bitty mouths. This is why I have to stay away from them. I won't go near puppies of any type anymore because I am very easily persuaded that I need another dog in my life. It's so hard to say no to any pup...or even older dogs. I think that I would end up getting a divorce if I brought home another dog!
A friend and I went to the Humane Society Boutique this summer in Phoenix to look for kitty cat toys for her cat. They had TWO little three month old chihuahua sisters up for adoption, all ready to go. It took all the strength I had to leave them there...one in particular, who loved me so much and wouldn't let me put her down and when I did she whined and broke my heart.
The people there said that I should adopt that little dog because she liked me so much and that her adoption fee was something like half price. After I put the little dog down I ran over and bought her a little pink doggy dress and put it on her...and watched her and how prancy she got. I should have taken pictures, but I couldn't bear to do it. Her new owner has a little doggy in a dress now and that was enough for me to turn away.
So, now you know how to really get at me. Chihuahua doggies are a huge weakness for me. Almost as much as chinchillas!
