What a beuatiful lil' girl! I can't fathom why someone would want to abuse you, so I am glad that you are completely loved and pampered now!

Continue to rule the roost, and enjoy being Dog of the Day, Roo!

This is the most beautiful pet of the day - Roo, a long hair Chihuahua. She has a brother (Elliot the cat) and another brother (Tycho), but she is in charge and her brothers know it. She is a rescue dog, and has, in effect rescued me. My daughters have moved out, and my husband works at night, so Roo is all it takes to make a bad day, or lonely day better. Her favorite thing to do is lay in the sun or go for a nice long walk.

Roo is an amazing dog. She was left outside a pet store with just her leash and she adopted us. When we first got her, we knew she had been abused and the first day she actually came to sit on my lap was an amazing day. She still eats one kibble at a time and hides when voices are raised, but she is the most loving and affectionate lap dog you ever want to meet. She is very expressive and loves to "jump" and play ball. She will also let us know when our cat is eating his food (it's kind of like Lassie letting people know that Timmy fell in the well). She will come an get me to remove the cat.

I could go on and on about this dog. Truth be told, she saved me. She makes me smile. She licks away tears. She climbs up on my lap and falls asleep and follows me around and will always be at the door when I come home. She's extremely trusting and very protective of her family. I hope you find her as special as I do.

Roo, I think you are very special! You and your mum have rescued each other for sure! I like your gorgeous markings and your long coat-- like tatsxxx11, I have never met a Chi with your wonderful coloring. I agree with what others have said-- you are stunning and beautiful! I hope you get to take a walk or play ball today, or have a long snuggle in mum's lap to celebrate your special day! Happy, happy Dog of the Day to you, amazing Roo!

To all of you wonderful people who have commented on my precious little dog; thank you so much. I've always loved animals, but I haven't felt about an animal like this since I was a little girl. Her expressiveness is so amazing and her need to make sure my family knows how much she loves us is awesome. She truly did rescue me as an empty nester. I can't imagine someone looking at this face and wanting to hurt her, but I'm so glad they got smart and just left her, because she is in a place of love now, so all is good. Sadly, she does have a heart murmur, but right now she's not affected by it, but we'll watch her. My Roo is an amazing, gentle, loving dog, who in addition to her brothers, have made my life just a little more complete.

In addition to her beautiful coloring, she has one black eye and one blue eye...Just amazing.

Thank you to all of her new friends. You all have exquisite taste. LOL
