Blue, the Dog of the Day
Name: Blue
Age: Ten weeks old
Gender: Male Breed: Chihuahua
Home: Hammond, Louisiana, USA
 
   Blue is four weeks old in this picture, though he is now ten weeks old. He is a blue Chihuahua. He is so special because when he was born, the mother rejected him so we took him and bottle-fed him around the clock, every two hours, for six weeks. He wasn't doing so good at first, but now he is beautiful and healthy! He is the sweetest little tiny dog I have ever had! He sits in my T-shirt pocket almost everywhere I go. His mom only weighs two pounds and she is three years old. I love my "Little Boy Blue!"

    Blue has one "trick" that he knows so far. He loves to lick faces a lot, so, I started telling him, "Ok. Let me kiss you now" and turn his head and kiss his cheek. After about a week of doing this, now when I hold him and he starts licking me to pieces, I say, "Let me kiss you" and he stops, turns his head, and puts his cheek up to my mouth. We all think it's so adorable, and smart! He has the most easy-going, gentle disposition that we have ever seen! He always lays his ears back when someone says his name, and "paw" the air if you keep talking to him. Kinda like he is saying. "Hey. Look. I'm down here!" He is so sweet! We have a new litter of babies (pups) and he gets in the box with them when the mommy goes outside and he licks and cleans them all. Then he snuggles down and goes to sleep until the new pups mommy comes in and runs him out. He loves to play "peek-A-boo!" He waits until you go into another room and then you see his head pop around the corner of the door way, and will stand there looking at you until you say "What are you doing?" Then he jumps back, and a few seconds later, there comes his little head again! It's so cute! He is just the sweetest little dog I have ever had! We love him!
