What would your emotions be....

if you could not have your little chihuahua?

I thought about this tonight, looking at Ellie, and I started to cry. You see, I don't have any children, never really wanted any. And I have had many animals over my lifetime.

But when this little one came into my life, I actually became a mother. I believe, with all my heart, I would die for her. The joy, comfort, and bonding she gives me is like no other. Of course, I love my husband dearly and feel the same for him, but with Ellie, It's something that is almost indescribable.

So amazing, so connected.

What would you do without your little one?

I have had that happen to me and I thought I'd die I lost my baby nugget to cancer and then a year later I lost tiny, I'm single and never wanted children either and they were my babies, it got to where I couldn't stand to go home the house was just dead without them, I use any excuse not to be home and I really changed during that period - it took me two years before I could think of having another one well I looked high and low for a black and tan tri colored female long story short God had other plans and I ended up with exactly the opposite of what I was looking for--Tober--for awhile after I got him I felt so guilty like I was betraying Nugget and Tiny but then I realized it wasn't his fault and not fair to him and he became my joy again--I will never forget Nugget and Tiny BUT I chose to remember the good times and memories we had and I know I'll see them again one day and it was time to love another again--I have also added Marko and now Trey --ALL boys and I had wanted girls, they are such loving wonderful babies I couldn't be happier--AND I know the day will come when I lose them but I've learned that I won't wait as long to replace them, life's too short and that'll just mean another one gets to be loved and have a good home--it'll still be hard but they can sure steal your heart

there's just something about this breed like no other

Lexxi ... DITTO pretty much everything you said already. I love each of my creatures like they are my kids. My life would be so empty without them.

Sheila,
You've got tears running down my face.
RIP Sweet Nugget and Tiny..

For me I am not sure what I will do with life without my 5 babies. I have a skin child Jake and he is my world, I love him like no other.
But For Lola, Angela , Emma Jean, Bobby and Tila.
I know I will be sad I know that I will feel the loss, but I also know that everything happens for a reason. I know that we will never get more than we can handle.

And there is no doubt in my mind that I will never be without a chihuahua, They are the sweetest little ones I have ever met.
They have changed my life and made me a better person.
There love is like no other.
True, unconditional and pure, who could ask for more?

I would be devestated, and will be when I lose Pie. However I believe that there will always be a little chi that needs my love, and that I need too.

I went through a devastating loss this past April With my beautiful little male chihuahua Mickey. I had him since he was 9 weeks old. I remember driving 6 hrs just to get him He was my first dog as a family with my husband and children. I definitely was much different then when i lost a pet as a child. Im a stay at home mom of two beautiful girls ages 10 and 2. When my now 10 yr old started school i felt lonely at home and my little mickey was my everything when i got him. He followed me everywhere . I couldnt even go to the washroom with out him scratching at the door and crying to let him in lol. While remodeling my home In late march I decided to stay at my parents for a few weeks because of the fumes from refurbishing my floors . once we got back home mickey wasnt very thrilled with the carpet being gone so i ordered a large area rug . He just loved it rubbing his little body all over it. When my husband got home He and some buddies decided to bring the furniture back in the house and left the screen door open, My mickey wasnt one to run off but unbeknown to me that night he stayed outside. I guess the screen door was closed and he was left outside. That night we finished at about midnight so we just knocked out from being so tired and the following morning i noticed he didnt come to cuddle with me in bed. He did this the minute he heard my husband leave for work. It was 6:45 am and i started calling him and nothing , i got up looking everywhere ,closets, hampers(sometimes he would sleep in the hamper ) I ran outside hysterical screaming his name just tears streaming down my face. I called my husband he came home to help me look for him. We made flyers etc. that afternoon around 3pm my mom and dad said they where on their way to help us look and when they got to my door my mom was crying and i just knew something bad happened ,she told me she found him on the road hit by a car. I dont think i ever cryed so hard in my life. i felt so guilty,and i felt he got cheated a long happy life for he was only 3 yrs old and had just had his birthday. I cryed for weeks and weeks i lost over 10lbs and when ever i came home from some where that was the worst because there was no one at that door to greet me. The house was so quiet i just couldnt stand it. My husband suggested looking at new pups and i just went nuts on him. It took a couple months then he brought home the tinyest little chi ever my now 6 month old Wrigley ,he wasnt even a lb yet. he took my mind off of everything,i was able to look at my mickeys pics again and make a nice photo frame just of him. i still talk to him when i go past his pics.lol. i know he is with me. I know have another 4 month old chi Addison, they are a hand full but i enjoy every minute of it. i wish i could of got them sooner but i know i had to grief and heal on my own time as well. I dread the day that one day ill have to say by to them as well so i just cherish every minute i have with them.Alot of things i never let my mickey do they get away with ,my husband is the same. They are just spoiled rotten and know they loved to death and they take advantage of it. My mickey was the main reason that i just fell in love with this breed.So small with yet so much overwhelming love .I will always and forever love my chihuahuas. Thanks for hearing my long story. It was hard to tell and i think it will always be but it does help me heal and cope. I miss him so much still. Rest in peace my little angel Mickey Feb17 2006-April 9 2009.(he is the little black one in my photos)

Oh Cookie honey, As tears roll down my face right now, I can actually feel your pain. I am sooo sorry. In asking this question, I in no means wanted to cause anyone any pain. I am so happy you now have your two little ones. It seems like all of us have the exact same feelings for these little babies and it's so nice to know that there is a group of us who are exactly the same. I love it!!

Lexxi

Cookie, to say I'm sorry just doesn't seem enough. I know how you must of felt , I have a big knot in my stomach right now. I too have had other pets in my life but I don't know why chi's are different. I do have a 20 year old daughter so I do know the love of a child and being a mother. Almost 3 years ago I lost my beautiful chi Gertie and she didn't even make it to 5 months. I met her when she was 3 weeks old and got her at 9 weeks old and I was just in love. She was everything to me. She had passed from something toxic which I believe was pet food which was right before all the dreaded recalls, and when all was said and done I did have some of the tainted food. I didn't have her long but it hurt so deeply losing her. It is still hard for me to look at her pictures. I do have 3 chi's now and I am so paranoid about everything. I look at them and can't help but to think that I will lose them one day. I don't want to dwell on it and I want to enjoy them but it is hard not to. My sweet Gertie will be gone 3 years on October 29. I know I will be with her again one day. I asked My Mom (RIP) to take care of Gertie till I get there. Lexxi ,you haven't caused anyone pain, it is nice to have people like you to be able to share our feelings with. My friends here have never understood how I feel and my life revolves around these little guys and I know people think I'm weird but I don't care. They don't live with me but my chi's do.
XO

Awww Lisa, very well said....thank you for being here. I love sharing my real feelings with everyone, when the real self comes out...everything just seems better.

Lexxi

Oh Cookie ... my heart just breaks for you. Just know you are not alone.
Oh how sad.
