They really are littermates, and they can be complete brats sometimes, but then, they're Chihuahuas . I started reading back thru this thread, and saw your little Angel-dog, Sprocket - so sorry he is no longer with you.We welcome dogs of all seasons! (And I'm especially partial to Chihuahuas, no matter what they are wearing or doing!) Yours are predictably adorable and kissable.
I really think it's better for dogs to have canine companions, and not be forced to be so dependent on their human companions for socialization, play, and company, especially when their person is gone often, for work, or whatever. And imagine how frustrating it must be to have to interact only with beings who you can't really communicate with! [PS. Just started listening to How Stella Learned to Talk, by Christina Hunger].Yes, I definitely think about getting two the next time. I knew someone with four - and they all slept in a pile on the [dog bed] [couch] [bed] [your favorite pillow].
Agreed, for many dogs. Of course, there are loners who prefer people to other dogs, but again, too little human interaction is definitely not good. Grew up with a handful of huskies, and they were definitely grateful for both "pack" (I use that term loosely) and human interaction. Oh, and they grew their own adorable winter coats, and shed them all over the lawn every spring :DI really think it's better for dogs to have canine companions, and not be forced to be so dependent on their human companions for socialization, play, and company, especially when their person is gone often, for work, or whatever.

I definitely feel more comfortable leaving the house knowing that they have each other's company while I'm gone. And it's very cute to watch them playing and interacting.
My daughter loves her videos!Yes! The book I mentioned is written by the person (a Speech Language Pathologist) who started the button-speech thing, using buttons that had been invented to help humans with language issues. Stella is her dog, and in the book she also explains how to do this with your own dogs!
Although if the right dog comes along...
Excuse me @Lmk92 where are your dog pictures and why didn’t I know we had similar breeds?????My daughter loves her videos!
I'd love to add a companion to my little pug/shitzu mix. Instead, we got a lab/golden mix, who is so quintessentially a mix of lab and golden (read: immature), that adding yet another to this pack (we also have a golden doodle) isn't really doable. Although if the right dog comes along...
He's my first little dog. I've always had bigger ones. We all adore him so much. He's blind, but gosh, sometimes you'd never know it!Excuse me @Lmk92 where are your dog pictures and why didn’t I know we had similar breeds?????

Here's my pack (fingers crossed they come through okay - I had to edit them pretty heavily!):
I bet Ollie has a million nicknames! What a face! Such personality!!His name is Oliver, but the boys call him Oscar because he looks like Oscar the Grouch. Of course, Ollie answers to both names!
He's what I call a Scruffmuffin! I love Scruffmuffins!His name is Oliver, but the boys call him Oscar because he looks like Oscar the Grouch. Of course, Ollie answers to both names!
Sounds like your Archie needs to meet our Lucy. I just can't believe how much energy this dog has!We walk to a local park most mornings where he plays off leash with friends. But having another dog in the house who just won't play is still tortuous.
