Link The #1 Chi

This is what our little Link looked like when he came to live with us. He is a little bigger then this now. He weighs about 7 lbs. and is a great member of our family. The cat plays with Link some but not as much as Link would like. lol He lays beside me when I stitch. Actually, he wants to lay right next to me. I have to scoot him over so I have room to stitch. His favorite toys are a stuffed Tigger, and a Milk Bone stuffed toy. He is paper trainned and a very happy dog. He is very friendly and loves it when we have company. I trainned him to be social by letting visitors give him a small piece of a doggie biscuit. The treat jar is on the counter, and he knows where its at. He is good with the grandchildren but we have to be very careful with their toys. Link will sneak off with a toy and chew/play with it. Well, thats all the news on Link for now. We are so proud to have him as our #1 Chi!

Link is here!

Yesterday was a big day! Poor Link had a 2 hour car ride but did not seem to mind at all! He slept in the teen's arm all the way home. We took a new pet carrier but I don't think it will ever be used. lol DD #2 and grand daughter had put a banner across the front of our house that said, "Welcome Home Link" and they had drawn on it. It was adorable. We had everything all ready for Link. He was so cute checking everything out. He had a light lunch and fresh water. He is definately paper trained. I showed him where it was and so far no accidents! DD # 2 and grand daughter came for a visit. Then we went to visit Grandmother and Grandfather, and Grandmother took pics. Later we went to visit DD #1, grandson and grand daughter. She took pics. also. We kept all visits short and got back home. Link is such a cute puppy and I am very happy he is now a part of our family! He slept in the teen's bed last night. She got up at 5:30 and took him to his paper, which he used. This morning I got up and went and got him for breakfast. He ate and ran speedy quick to his paper. He is really smart! The inside cat has not warmed up to Link but Link really wants to be her friend. Link loves to be held! Right now he is dozing beside me. This pic is from Joyce, I don't have mine down loaded yet. He is so sweet and loving.

Welcome Link!

Today is Link's moving in day! We will be going to meet Joyce at 10:30 this morning! We have everything ready. DD and I made a trip to E & L Pets last night. We bought his Diamond puppy food, a new food dish, a new water bottle and a new toy! My 3 year old grand daughter and her mommy & daddy met us at the pet store. We had alot of fun picking out Links supplies. We also had fun looking at all the animals. lol The baby was so cute helping us choose. She came across the book section which was very interesting to her. She kept handing me books with different animals telling me, "You need this Mo-mmi" We also bought a new swing and a new ladder for the canary. I'm off the get ready now. Time for a road trip!

Getting our puppy Link

We will soon be the proud owners of a long coat Chihuahua!! His name is Link, which we will keep that name, and he is black and white. You can see his pic. on this website: http://www.mtnviewchihuahuas.com/ Click on avaliable puppies and he is the first one. We wanted nearly every one of them on the web page but had to choose. lol DD and I both love Link. After speaking on the phone with Joyce, we are sure looking forward to getting him. We will be meeting her next Saturday morning and he will be coming to his new forever home with us! He will be going to the vet soon for his 'surgery' since he will be a pet only. I will leave the breeding to those who are experienced and dedicated. He is CKC registered, about 4 lbs. and is almost 5 months old. We are very o.k. with him being alittle older. I was kind of worried about the 'tiny puppy' stage so this works out great. He is paper trained and has all his shots. He is also already on heartworm/flea prevention. Joyce said he has a great, playful personality with a wonderful temperment. Our cat, Misty, is sitting here staring at me. I think she knows something is up. lol

Puppy Update

OK. This is my final answer. lol I want a chihuahua!!! My grandmother had one, DH's grandparents always had 1-2. He perfers the Chi over the pom and I did have a hard time trying to decide on my own. I have not picked one out yet but it will be a Chi. DD is happy with the Chihuahua choice and just wants me to pick one out. lol So, searching the web for the perfect puppy. No stitching news but I am still reading, Stephen King's The Tailsman. Its sooooo goood!!! Cold here, 18 degrees. No snow.
