    I Made a Decision ... Hope It Was the Right One.

    For those of you who missed the original thread about the Chinese crested puppy: Puppy Drama

    Well, I decided to buy the dog. I did talk her down on price ... not that she was actually asking a terrible price to begin with, it was just the principal of the matter.

    So, without further ado, meet Skittles, Miss So-Ugly-She's-Cute, 2009.

    I get the image of a donkey's head on a pig's body whenever I look at her.

    1. In all her "glory" ...

    2. Gia says, "Uh, mom ... seriously ... what IS it?"

    3. "Hmmm ... it SMELLS like a dog."

    4. Sequoia says, "Uh, mom ... are they supposed to be chewing on each other like that?" (Can you find Rocky in this picture? Notice his tail? LOL!)

    5. "MOM! Oh dang! I TOLD you it is an alien!"

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I'm sure Skittles thinks you made the right decision. She is adorable. I'm one of the ones that voted for you to buy her.

    I would have made the same decision... I don't see how anyone could neglect any dog... let alone a super cute one such as Miss Skittles!

    Welcome to PT, Skittles!

    I'm practically in tears knowing that this little girl is living a good life now. I think she is seriously adorable!! I love her little spotted body and fuzzy little face.
    I've got to tell you, you deserve a HUGE pat on the back for all the great work you're doing there. Thank God for people like you that help these little guys.
    Welcome to a wonderful life, Skittles!! Can't wait to see more of you.

    Well, welcome to PT Skittles. I think she is a cutie. A friend of mine
    got a Chinese crested puppy a few moinths ago. I was surprised just how
    cute these dogs are in person. Her pup liked to dance around like Kung Fu
    fighter when he played with her other dogs. It really changed my mind
    about the breed.

    She's so CUTE!!!
    If you need a foster for her or any info on Cresteds let me know!
    She needs a good shaving lol.
    Do you know how old she is, she still looks very puppyish.
    I might have some old clothes that were too small for my Crested for her.

    Your awsome for saving her!

    How is she temperment wise? Maybe she will enjoy playing with Rocky and he will leave the others in peace? LOL


    *Thanks Ashley*

    I didn't vote or respond on the other thread, but I was hoping you'd get her. She is adorable. I'm glad the other dogs are doing so well with her too.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I am so glad you got her outta that crummy situation! Looking at how happy she is with the other puppers I think it was the right situation! Is she a foster for now? I am sure once she is cleaned up and trained she will make an awesome pet!
