Ever since we got our little Frankie 6 months ago, we have been desirous of adding more chi's to our family but didn't know where (or how) to find a breeder, and since they can run pretty pricey, for now, another one is out of our budget. BUT I learned that the humane society has TONS of chihuahuas for adoption. I also knew that the next one we got would be a more 'mature' animal because the whole puppy thing is so not what I need right now. We found our little guy, Joey, at the humane society yesterday. He's an elderly 9 years old, but fit as a fiddle (even though he's recovering from a neutering and his poor weewee hurts) and we can expect 6-10 more years with him. He's a nice counterpoint to our rambunctious Frankie, though I'm hoping that the chihuahua affinity factor will kick in soon. I'm hoping the reason Joey is not so keen on our Frankie is due to his not feeling well from his surgery and that as soon as that's resolved he'll get on board with loving him as much as he should (being a fellow chi). Otherwise, we may have to trade him for a different one - which would be sad because we already love our little old cranky man. In fact, I was thinking of changing his name to Grump or Sir Grumps-a-lot or something more apropros. ;)
