Fettuccine,
our 10 pound 10 year old chihuahua, loves when her people come home.
She wiggles her whole body and brings them a stuffed animal - just in
case they need one after a long day at work. Then, Fettuccine settles in
to her favorite place to be - in her person's arms. Fettuccine is
finally healthy enough to find her own family to carry her around.
Found
stray, Fettuccine had terrible dental disease. She was also very thin
and had two mammary masses that needed to be removed. After weeks of
regular meals, Fettuccine was healthy enough for surgery. We spayed her,
extracted several painfully infected teeth, and removed her masses.
Although one of the masses came back as a low grade carcinoma (cancer),
we are hopeful the surgery was curative. Like any dog that has to wait
until she's 10 to be spayed, Fettuccine may be prone to more mammary
masses in the future.
Fettuccine loves people. She is remarkably
cuddly and would prefer to live with someone who wants a chihuahua in
their lap every time they sit down. Fettuccine is great on a leash and
loves to greet other dogs when out and about.
At home, Fettuccine
is tolerant of her dog roommates. However, likely due to her previous
starvation, Fettuccine resource guards her food from other dogs. Until
she's very comfortable, she also guards people's laps from other dogs.
For this reason, Fettuccine may prefer to be the only pet or should live
with patient dogs as she decompresses.
Fettuccine is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.
Is
there room on your lap for a very deserving chihuahua? Would your day
be better if someone handed you a stuffed animal when you got home?
