OMG she is adorable and so tiny!
I could just imagine that little girl prancing around the house.
Chopper is making me love the little breed too, they aren't like how I thought.

I know what you mean! I think the key is to not let them get overweight! So many people overfeed Chihuahuas and they just don't need much food at all! You actually have to remind Betina to eat! I literally stand over her with my hand in her bowl so she will continue eating. Her breeder warned me about that! If you keep them at a healthy weight, they are very active, cute and very endearing!

Also, like some breeds, they have gotten a bad rep for being mean ankle biters. Again, early socialization is the key! She got plenty of that on Christmas! We took her with us to Jerry's family Christmas and she was the center of attention. I don't think her little feet ever hit the ground except to potty!

SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!! MORE SQUEALS COMING FROM HERE!!!! She's a precious little doll baby!!

Congratulations on getting her. Welcome to PT Betina!!!!

Wow, Kim, Betina is so cute -- and so little! I can't believe you are up to 6 dogs!!!! Carl thinks I am absolutely nuts to have this many (well, of course there is the little problem of Christy's 3 living here to for who knows how long) and I don't even have ANY cats. Congratulations on getting this little cutie!

wowza!!!

I'm amazed!

but totally SMITTEN!

My Keegan came home at 6 weeks
she was a handful but you have other dogs to help control her. Keegan only had me to discipline her and with puppy teeth that's really hard!!!

So, Kim, how is Betina the little doll baby

? How are all your other dogs and cats? Are you going to see your granddaughter for New Year's day?

**jazzcat** · 12-31-2007, 11:16 PM

When did your pooch population grow so much? I must have missed it!!!!!

Little Betina is a cutie. I had a college roommate named Betina. In fact I shared an apartment with her in Murfreesboro while at MTSU. Do do do do (Twilight Zone music).

Wow she's a cutie. Dottie is lucky to get her own puppy

**petslover** · 12-27-2007, 03:05 PM

Betina soooo cute and tiny. What a wonderful thing to get on Christmas.

**bckrazy** · 12-27-2007, 09:46 PM

Betina is very cute! What a nice Christmas present. C:

It is worrying that you bought her at 6 weeks... that is sooo young, for a toy breed, especially. I hope everything goes smoothly with her, as far as her health & socialization.

awe! reminds me of Chiquis when he was itty bitty, now he is 9 years old, still a little dog that wears sweaters as well. Betina is just an adorable little one so freaken cute!
