My Chihuahua Dog

I got Fifi when she was a couple of years old. She had been owned by a family previously but they left her out in the cold garage during the winter. They finally got the neighbor - a dog lover - to watch her while they went on vacation - then, they didn't want to take her back.

I read about the little dog one afternoon in my little community paper than my homeowner's association puts out. I called the number and talked to the lady, who is a friend of mine, and went over and saw the dog. The lady has another Chihuahua, also, but he is the hairless, teacup variety. This Chihuahua is the other type, slightly bigger and looks very much like a fox with outsized ears and a short coat of thick orange fur.

I took the dog home and tried to think of what to call her. The lady had called her Marmalade, but that didn't sound like something I would call her. I thought and thought and finally thought, "well, Cookie sounds a little better than Bullet..." another friend of mine suggested I call her Fifi, and that seemed to fit just right. Don't ask me how, it just seemed like it.

Fifi has been my companion since that day about three years before and she is with me all the time when I am in the house or we go for a walk, and unlike a lot of small dogs, she loves to ride in the car. She is very gentle with children and loves people and never seems to be cross. Just a beautiful disposition. Ever since she came home with me she likes to sleep in my bed. I don't mind because she is not nervous and you actually hear her start to softly snore. She sleeps like a rock!

She is not fussy about eating and will eat dry food but she prefers to wait like many dogs and see if you will offer her some people food. He favorite treat is Milk Bone Dog Biscuits.
