lol hopefulmjz!
We've had our puppy 2 months almost, but I waited a long time to get her. I wanted a lap dog for myself and a playmate type dog for my son as he is an only child, loves animals, and is old enough to understand how to play gently with her and everything. Its worked out really well, she has the exact temperament I wanted in a dog.

The people I got my dog from also had .chihuahua/jack .russel mixes. Tho you couldn't tell the puppies weren't purebred. Then they also had a litter of .chihuahua's. We've had ours since she was 6 weeks old, and now she's 10 weeks old. I wish it would have worked out so that they could have kept her at least 2 more weeks so she could learn more from her mom. But we've got a 2 year old .chi and he's .v.e.r.y well behaved, so I figured he could be a good example for her. At first he wasn't sure what to think of her, now he seems to really like her and he will get after her if she bites too much (which is what I was hoping for) the cat lets her climb all over him too. It's kinda tough, but not too bad. I wanted a dog to grow up with my daughter, who is 15 mos old. She loves .daisy, and .daisy loves her, it's so cute to see how excited the puppy gets to see .adriana, and vice versa. She's not doing so great on potty training, but I have to admit I haven't been putting in my 100% on training her with that either. And she's only 10 weeks, so it's to be expected.

she looks very similar to ours! They are such cuties. It took me 5 days to paper train lou-lou but I was watching her all the time and following her around ready to place her on the paper when she need to 'go'. You cant really do that if you have a 15 month old daughter to chase after.
Ours was taken from her mother at 6 weeks like yours, her first owner had her for 4 weeks before I got her at 10 weeks. Poor pup. Shes settled in great now, it took a few weeks but its to be expected, its like having a baby at times but I love her to bits!

I want to get a snake so bad! My dad's terrified of them though and i have no money to get one, and having to feed it mice could creep me out a bit
