Well - I'm back, without the little puppy.

My mom changed her mind. She says she's "just not sure". Great - she never spayed her female and now she's in heat. How long do you think it will be until this little guy grows up and she winds up with puppies??? Actually I think that might be what she wants. The vet said that her little girl is much too small to have puppies and would probably have to have a C-section. My mother would never take a dog to a vet for a C-section.

I'm hoping she changes her mind again.

He was sick while I was there. He had diarrhea, and he was whining. She says he eats more than any dog she has ever seen. She says the breeder gave him his first deworming treatment, just in case. So she doesn't think he has worms. Of course my mom won't take him to the vet and the vet was closed while I was there.

Yes Ramanth - you remember right about Max's prey drive. However he has never even tried to hurt Katie - and she's little and runs around a lot. He only seems to chase things outdoors. So I'm thinking he'd be safe with this little guy. But I was considering just taking the chi until I could find another home for him, if Max looked like he might be a danger.

Anyways - it's discouraging news but hopefully if she changes her mind she'll let me know. I'd drive down there and get him.
