She got a new dog on thursday!
His name is Petey, and he is a 5 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix. Very sweet little boy. She was having a really hard time without a dog, and she did not want to just get a rebound dog. She wanted to find the perfect dog for her, and a dog that needed a home.
It's funny, she said she definitely didn't want another Chihuahua, and wanted a bigger dog (about 45-50 lbs). And then she found Petey- a tan Chihuahua, a little under 10 lbs.
Petey is a great little dog. He is a little underweight, as he was found as a stray, and the shelter had him a little over a week. We have 5 residential cats in the lab at school, so it's a great thing that he is not cat aggressive. Although he is food aggressive with other animals, (hey, he was a stray!), that's not a huge issue. Very affectionate little guy, he follows everyone around.
