We have a new addition to our family!!:

| Gidget |
This past weekend J and I went to the pet store to pick up a new collar for Lola. The county animal shelter was holding an adoption fair near the front of the store, and this adorable chihuahua was sitting quietly in her pen with about five barking dogs. Of course, I had to walk by the pen two or three times and fawn over her and the other pups. Then J held her and, well, it was all over from there.
She is 6 years old, 3.5 pounds (tiny!!) and was found as a stray by the pound. She's very calm and shy, and seems to have been abused and over-bred. (How could anyone abuse such a little peanut? Beyond me.) She does have semi-severe hip issues that will most likely require surgery in a few years, but we didn't care. She had three days to get adopted or be euthanized, and the latter was definitely not an option. I'm a sucker when it comes to an animal that needs a home.
Oh she's precious! I would have picked her up too. I want a puppy so badly but unfortunately, we're a no-dog apartment complex. But someday I will get one and post lots of picture!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww omg yay I'm SO happy you adopted her. I'm so glad you saved her and I know you'll give her a wonderful life.
ReplyDeleteShe is so adorable! and great of you to take on a animal with health problems to keep her from being euthanized!

ReplyDeleteShe's adorable and such a lil peanut. Gidget is a cute name, but cacajuete is my FAVE spanish word. That is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!
ReplyDeletePrecious! Looks like Lola might have a little look of sad puppy eyes for not being the only baby. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute...I love it!
