He is 2 years old and weighs about 12 lbs

We just adopted a 9 week old chihuahua puppy with a deformed front leg.

Where does one find collars or harnesses small enough? She’s so tiny. We went to the pet store but everything was way too big, including the xs collars and xxs harnesses.

Luckily, I don’t think it will be a huge problem right now since she’s not very fast with her disability.

Also, is small breed puppy food small enough? I’ve never had a puppy this small so I’m overthinking everything.

Goldie Hawn's halmoni (Korean for Grandma) made her this necklace recently. Her halmoni is going through treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer and she wants to show everyone how talented she is for making her this special pearl necklace. She loves her Grandma so much & her Grandma loves her!

On October 13, 2026, our world became a little dimmer and our hearts a little emptier when we said goodbye to our precious Chico. Chico wasn't just a dog. He was my baby, my little shadow, my velcro boy, and one of the greatest loves of my life. He was family in the truest sense of the word, woven into the everyday moments, the familiar routines, and the countless memories that make a house a home.

We were blessed to spend 14.5 years loving our sweet boy, and I will forever be grateful for every single one of them. He gave us a kind of love that asked for nothing but our presence, a love that made even the simplest moments special. There is no way to measure what a little soul can mean to a person until that little soul leaves paw prints all over their heart. Chico left his everywhere.

After his battle with CHF and collapsed trachea, in the end his passing happened quickly, right here at home, with his Mommy and Daddy beside him and his beloved pack mates nearby. He was surrounded by the people and the family who loved him. While our hearts are broken, I am grateful that home was where we could be together for his final moments.

I keep reminding myself that love like Chico's doesn't simply disappear. It lives on in the memories, in the familiar places where we still expect to see him, in the quiet moments when we reach for him out of habit, and in the warmth we carry in our hearts long after his little paws have left this world.

I hope you knew, my sweet boy, just how loved you were. I hope you knew that you were never just a pet to us. You were Mommy's precious baby, and loving you was one of life's greatest gifts.

Run free, my sweet Chico Rico. No more coughing, no more struggling to get comfortable, no more difficult nights. Just peace, comfort, and freedom.

Until we meet again, my precious boy, you will always have a home in Mommy's heart. Thank you for choosing us, for loving us, and for giving us so many years of unconditional love. The world was better because you were in it, and my life will never be quite the same without you.

You were loved in life, held close as you left, and you will be loved for all the days that follow.

Forever Mommy's boy. Forever our Chico Rico. Forever loved.

The more pathetic the better!! I love old dogs!!

I fell in love with this boy when he was just a tiny wittle pup, and I was also a tiny wittle pup, fresh out of high school. He was my safe space as we moved half the country away from where we were born, 6 years ago. Now we’ve grown to become old farts together 😜 many more bdays to come for us my boy Charlie!

Charles is obsessed with his sisters and has to be cuddling with at least one of them 24/7. Charles is a 1 year-old special needs rescue. He was born with a soft and hard cleft palate. He was tube fed from a few weeks old and overcame pneumonia twice and other obstacles. While with the rescue his soft palate was repaired, but his hard palate still remains open as his mouth is too small to repair. We are still going to get a second opinion with our specialist to see if anything else can be done. He has to eat a specific diet to prevent him from potentially aspirating. He also has alopecia. He is perfect. ❤️

I love these dogs so much! Nina is about 8 and Dice is around 15, my little (and not so little) seniors are my world!

Priscilla stretching it out.

One minute they are hanging out like this. The next they are fighting over a toy or who can have the blanket.

This is my soul dog, Pinky. He crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 a month ago. He was a “talker” and I caught “I Love You” when I rewatched this video of him talking. 🥹🐾 I miss you, Bubbins!

The winner gets to be right. *Also, the guy on the right is 42% Chihuahua so he's cool.

ETA NO IT WASN'T ME LOL

Look at how excited he is! XD

I do have some plans for him this weekend.

My big boy is just relaxing waiting to go on his walk, he has been upset over his normal potty area being torn up to be turned into a road, so trying to get him used to walking out to a new area has been a little bit of a challenge.

He's going down tomorrow, so of course he gets literally any food he wants. Including my food.

My only regret is they never made a permanent cure for dog arthritis

My girl is going for her spay. I am so nervous. I’ve done lots of research and she was on the small side so we waited until she had a heat cycle. We waited the appropriate window and scheduled. The surgery is today.

She’s had some tummy issues the last few months and she’s currently on a hydrolyzed diet at the moment as well. She had 2 retained puppy teeth that will be pulled during the procedure as well. So I think that has added to my stress about the whole thing.

She is under 5 lbs and 11.5 months old.

I was instructed to fast at 6:00 pm the night before and drop off for 8:00 am the following morning. I have confirmed this multiple times with the day prior being my final. They are very well aware of her size and everything. She’s also a bit spicy/nervous so we are giving her calming meds (Gabapentin and Trazodone) the night before and morning of to hopefully make the experience less stressful and more comfortable for her.

I’m still just incredibly nervous. This is my first small dog and a female.

Update: Surgery went well. There were no complications. We are home now and she is recovering. Doing my best with a heated blanket and love to keep her comfortable. Hopefully she will have an interest in food later this evening.

Curious if anyone thinks she’s apple head, deer head, or pear head? We can’t tell!
