My samson has had 2 surgery to repair his knee caps. The vet had to cut his femurs as his caps were permanently turned around backwards. The vet had to line everything up correctly and pin it all back together. Here is a pic of Samson in his stroller going to the park during his recovery.

And here is Samson howling for me - letting out his inner wolf :) I wonder if he will teach Delilah to howl, too? LOL Anyone else have a howling chihuahua? It started with the fire whistle but he will howl if I do it with him, now :) He sounds so mournful.

This is a fantastic forum and I am so glad to have stumbled on to it. I absolutley LOVE Chi's. They are so sensitive and loving. Delilah is my 5th...

So where does everyone hail from? I live in eastern Iowa.

I absolutely LOVE chihuahuas! I am owned by 2 of these dynamite dogs. Sofie is a "deerhead" Chi., and so small and delicate-looking! She's tan with white markings. We call her Frankenstien becuase she has a lightening bolt of white hair across her forehead. She is, like most Chis., totally unaware of her size -- a great big dog in a little body. The other Chihuahua is named Queenie and she is a typical black and tan "apple head." Queenie had a pretty rough time of it when she was a pupster and as a result she has real dislike of strangers, men (in general) and of children. She does love my husband and my son, but we three are the only humans for which she has any use. There is nothing like having one of these wonderful dogs! I am amazed that my two Chis. were "throw aways" -- their respective (but NOT respected) former owners were actually going to have them put down! I don't know if my two girls remember their awful circumstances, but I have never had two more wonderful, affectionate, comical, and loyal dogs. By the way, I also have a dachshund (a "tweenie -- to big to be a mini, too small to be a standard) who wandered into my yard one evening and I have a Rottie-Shepard mix. Of course, Fluffy, the Big, Mean Cat, rules the pet family. Happy Chihuahuas!

Have you seen the calendars from "the dog" that feature the long hair chi puppies. I get one very year. The pictures are just adorable

[denise52358]

Yes, Chi's are quite special little animals. I call Samson my angel because I found him on the (at the time) worst weekend of my life. He literally saved me from myself. Such a big load for such small shoulders. Good thing Chi's don't know how small they are!

Delilah is my special girl because she was born one day after my mom suddenly passed away.

It was fate that brought me and both dogs together. Samson is still coping with the new addition but I try to make sopecail time for just he and I and I tell him constantly that he will always be my baby boy and that I love him dearly.

He always knows when I am upset and snuggles with me...he's my best friend, my baby, my fearless protector.

I have so much love, admiration and respect for this breed.

The link cited by Kirby's Mom is just too cute! Hey, Iowa people! I am living in Garden City, Kansas, now but I was raised in Marshalltown, or as we used to call it, "marshamallow-town." :) Once an Iowa girl, always and Iowa girl, I guess.
