THANKS SO MUCH KAY FOR THE NEW BLINKIE SIG AND AV FOR CHICA. I TOOK HER TO THE VET TODAY BECAUSE HER EARS HAD A SLIGHT INFECTION. THEY ALSO WEIGHED HER AT THE VET AND SHE WEIGHS 7 POUNDS NOW AT 9 MONTHS. THE VET SAID IT IS USUAL FOR LITTLE DOGS TO HAVE EAR INFECTIONS BECAUSE THEY GET WAX BUILD UP. I ALSO TOOK HER TO THE PET STORE TO BUY SOME SUPPLIES FOR HER AND A LADY WALKED IN AND SAID WHAT A CUTIE SHE IS. SHE'S A BRINDLE, THE LADY SAID! I HAVE NOT SEEN A BRINDLE CHIHUAHUA BEFORE! IT REALLY EXCITES ME WHEN SOMEONE NOTICES THAT PARTICULAR COLORING OF CHICA BECAUSE IT IS RARE. ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TALENTS!!
