Our
tiny little Tia Fawn is the best, sweetest, cutest, and smartest dog
my husband or I has ever owned. She is our five pound, two year old Chihuahua.
My husband and I are both disabled and he's in a wheelchair. Tia adapts
so well to our limitations. She can't jump up into his lap so they work
together to get her there. He will reach down and grab hold of her
collar and pulls as she climbs up is legs. It looks like it might hurt
her but I don't think it does or she wouldn't want up there. She always
waits to be sure he has a hold of her toys before playing tug of war.
She is very intuitive. She seems to know how we feel. She knows if
something is wrong or when we are sad. When we talk to her she stands
there turning her head trying so hard to figure out what we are saying.
She knows words like "sit," "stay," "off," "down," "shake," "wait,"
"bed," "come," "no" and "potty." She obeys them when she chooses, which
is most the time. We can take her in the front yard without her running
off or getting in the street. She always come when she is called
outside. She has to be caged when we leave because she has a small
bladder. She will reluctantly get in her cage when you tell her to.
She loves meat and cheese but doesn't enjoy dog treats. She jumps, yelps
and does tricks to get your attention until we share with her. There are
two cats (Callie Patches and Cyber Link) that were here before her, that
she tolerates, but lets them know she's boss especially when food is
around. She even plays with them occasionally. When any company comes
she gets upset and barks to warn us, as she does with any strange noise,
but usually warms up to them if they are kind and gentle with her. She
hates when other dogs visit or she visits other dogs, barely tolerating
them.
Tia loves to play with stuffed animals most but also enjoys small balls
too. She loves to chew on steak bones and cow hooves. She also really
enjoyed a small, hollow, bouncy, orange and green spiky toy which was
sadly lost and can't find another. She plays tug-a-war and play fights
with us. She is fully potted-trained but has a few accidents sometimes
because she has such a small bladder. She sleeps with hubby and I under
the cover and snuggles beside one of us. During the day she sleeps
in her bed or our laps, nowhere else. I call her "Bullet" when she runs
to greet me and jumps with her front paws ramming hard into my leg. She
has her pedigree and has graduated from a basic dog training class at
PetSmart. She almost never gets into trouble. She's our spoiled sweet
baby (we have no children yet). She makes us laugh all the time and is
great company. We thank God for her every day.
