On December 31st my husband and I were able to bring home this 1.2 pound wonder to join Pepito and Carino. I think my husband was a bit taken aback by how small he actually is. Meeting the other dogs was a little contentious at first, but within a week all was well. We named him Choya’s Winter Storm Diego el Nevado.” Nevado was my daughter-in-law’s idea, and I loved it immediately. I call him Nevvie. He is so sweet and has fur as soft as a baby chick’s feathers. He is smart and feisty despite his miniature state. In two days he was climbing up and down the pet stairs to the bed. Pepito still doesn’t do that! He just barks to get up and down. At first we were all hyper vigilant but gradually became more confident about his ability to manage. We always keep an eye on him, though.
I took him to the veterinarian today for his second round of vaccinations. His shoulder is obviously very sore, but he is a trooper. He was pronounced quite healthy, and the veterinarian says he may get to four pounds one day. At this point he is at 1.7 pounds. He is awesome, and I am so grateful to begin this new year with him and my two other Chis.
