Hello. I am here with my mother in law... Dorthy39.... I just got a chihuahua... I could not figure out what she was doing>... she would be fine one second then whine like she was dying the next... I think a lot of it is she wants to either go outside or mainly wants attention... Trust me this works ... from my knowledge she is the newcomer and is trying to fit in... she feels she should be the center of attention... I am not saying that you don't give her enough attention. but When I got my chihuahua i thought i gave her the world. I was wrong... She is basically a new born.. now, I don't have children but after my chihuahua I am not sure If I can handle all that crying and waking me up...but after I realized all she wanted was to cuddle once in a while or just sit on my lap really she was fine and by the way, I definantly want children. you will be okay really, and you will realize you are the WHISPERER, just wait and watch you will find out.
