I'm new here too

I have been surfing around the posts and find interesting reading. I enjoy people who like to brag about their dogs. The photo pages are awsome, some cute pooches for sure!

I have a Chihuahua named Cheeks. She will be 7 years old on January 1, 2007. She is my baby and constant companion. I do have a concern on her behavior, which I have read up on thoughts posted on this site. I love my Cheeks dearly, but I am confounded how she is SO particular on finding EXACTLY the RIGHT spot to do her business outside, and she takes her time searching too. But, I take her out many times during the day so she has the opportunity. Especially first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night. Still, frequently, I find a new puddle somewhere in the house in the morning (she sleeps with me). She has a pee pad in the bathroom, which she will use, though she prefers a forgotten towel left on the floor, or she is not particular if she "hits the spot" and it leaks off most of the pad. :confused: Unlike her outdoor potty time, she just does not care where she goes.


I also have a Red Lored Parrot "Sidney". My "significant other" has a black lab seeing eye dog "Metro". Presently I live in Baltimore MD.

Looking forward to getting to some folks

Hi Verna,
We too have a little stinker Chi that will potty in the house if she gets the chance. She's older now but we can't trust her. She stays in her kennel and roams around in our yard most of the time. She has plenty to do, guarding the porch and letting us know when the UPS driver comes. She hates that truck. She is the boss of our bigger girls and they know it. I think small dogs are so low to the floor that they don't think about where they go! And they don't care, a little bit of attitude.
Nice to have you on board.
