Stella Gets Another Sister

Have we lost our minds??  On May 3, we adopted another dog from a rescue organization.  Her name is Hattie and she is a Teacup Chihuahua/Pug mix.  They estimate she is about one year old and, at 5lbs, full grown!

Although she appears to be the cutest, daintiest, sweetest little pup let me tell you she is the feistiest dog we have ever adopted!! As with any new pet we will all learn as we go - she will learn obedience from us (hopefully) and we will learn what her boundaries are.  One thing we know for sure already is that her temperament is more cat-like than dog.   Everyone's inclination, based on her tiny appearance, is to scoop her up (which you can do with one hand) and cuddle her and carry her around.  N-O-P-E, she will not have it.  She wants what she wants when she wants it and that's all. Tiny dog, HUGE personality.

Hopefully Stella and Betty will warm up to her - right now, they are none to happy having this Tasmanian devil spitfire of sharp teeth running around.  However Hattie has figured out already to not mess with the cat!

I know the pictures are adorable - don't be fooled!!


 
 
 
Hattie wears a cat collar and cat harness because even the smallest dog size was too big for her!
