I'm new too!

I'm here for the same reason as everyone else.......I dearly love dogs and enjoy new ideas on grooming, feeding, training and so on. Right now I have one 13 year old Chihuahua who has had her eyes removed, but she doesn't know that.

She probably thinks we need to turn on the lights. She is a very happy girl otherwise.

Ditto.

5 years ago another small but strong little rescue was shaking his rope toy (the ones with knots on each end) extremely hard and hit her in the eye. It had to be removed. She then developed glaucoma in the other and after being on two kids of medication for 3 years it ulcerated and had to be removed. Even though she knows the layout of the house and we never change that, she still wont walk around at all, so I've had to change her diet because she was getting too heavy and her stools were getting too hard. She will walk around a little in the yard, but that' probably because she doesn't like sitting in the grass. She's a very happy little girl who loves everyone.

I've had her for 13 years. She's the daughter I never had. You couldn't pry her away from me.
