Shelters are overcrowded in California, New York, and Florida. There are not enough rescues and it's heartbreaking and sad!

A very scary situation for a dog out for a walk. Remember to watch out for coyotes and keep your dog on a leash. Thank goodness this turned out well for this pup.

Social Networking

noreply@blogger.com (Deb) — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 02:45:00 +0000

I love social networking! It started with Facebook and now I' almost all over the place. Facebook has allowed me to connect with friends and co-workers, then former classmates I haven't seen in over 30 years, to more recently develop friendships with dog lovers, particularly Chihuahua lovers.

My Twitter feed has evolved into an animal loving one. My Chihuahua pin board on Pinterest is extremely popular. More recently, I have been using Instagram where once again, my posts are mostly of my dogs & cats. I also follow those that I am friends with on Facebook, follow on Twitter. Now I am also making new Chihuahua connections all over the world! Pinterest is good, but you don't have the interaction with others as you do on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

With Instagram, I've once again become interested in photography. Having an iPhone has taken that a step further in being creative with my photos. You can put wigs on your dogs, take several pictures and make a collage, and you can frame your pictures. Below is a sample of my creativity with my photos.

So if you want to see chihuahua photos, you can find me at: Debbie Cavallo O'Halloran on both Facebook and Pinterest, debbieo64 on Instagram, and @dlohalloran on Twitter. I'm on Google+ too, but haven't been on it much. Feel free to follow me.

Well I thought I would share some pics of my chi's that I created on New year's Eve. As a tribute to Big Shadow I even got him in the party! Who says pets don't celebrate holidays at The Rainbow Bridge? Happy New Year and enjoy the pics.

Shadow 12/10/09 - 9/13/12

noreply@blogger.com (Deb) — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 03:02:00 +0000

It's taken me awhile to write this post. In September, I lost one of my three Chi's. I lost my little (maybe not so little, he was 17.5 pounds) boy Shadow. It happened suddenly & unexpectedly. Shadow lost his life to autoimmune disease. Something was causing his white blood cells to dramatically increase and kill off his red blood cells.

Since dogs can't tell us what's bothering them, we can't figure out what the root cause is that is causing the pets' body to turn on itself. Some pet parents are fortunate and able to determine the cause. Some pets handle the treatment well and live long lives. In most cases where a pet survives, the pet must be monitored continuously and take meds.

After two blood transfusions and lots of meds, Shadow was one of the unlucky ones that didn't survive. He was only 2.5 yrs old. It was a very cruel, unfair way to go OTRB, but he's not sick or suffering. It was extremely hard to deal with and has thrown me into depression.

We have since decided to get two more Chihuahuas. They could never replace Shadow, but they have helped me and the girls (Belle, his littermate and Diva). Last week, Belle turned 3, so would have Shadow.

R.I.P. Sweet boy, Happy Birthday, and Merry Christmas.

Helping those in need: KollegePawty Chip in for Spooky

This is the blog for one of my kitty friends Spooky. We are friends on Twitter. He is sick, but in remission with lymphoma. Those that know me and my pets know that Gizmo, my first Chihuahua had lymphoma so this cause for Shorty is near & dear to my heart.

Spooky's mom has been unemployed as well. Something too that hits too close to home. Please consider giving at Spooky's Chip In page to help defray the costs of ongoing bloodwork and ultrasound tests. As I know firsthand with Gizmo, these tests are very expensive. While you're at Spooky's blog, check out the other Chip In's for other needy pets. If you can help, please do so, I myself know the Christmas season is upon us and that unemployment is still high, but if you're in a position where you can help, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Waiting for the V E T

noreply@blogger.com (Deb) — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:28:00 +0000

Yes, it's that time again! This time it's my non-Chihuahua dog Mason who is at the vet for a geriatric checkup. Mason is a 12 year old Sheltie. It seems not that long ago, I brought Mason home as a puppy. Boy has time flown by!

When Mason was a puppy, our first Chihuahua Gizmo loved to go up to Mason and show him who was the boss. He would do this by jumping on Mason's head and would start humping on it! So funny to us, but not to Mason! I know somewhere I have video of this event. Well ever since a neighbors dog tried playing with Mason by jumping on him from behind and scaring him, Mason has become skittish . You have to be extremely careful not to scare him or like a cat he will turn to nip you.

It's a shame, but Mason has seemed to have obstacle to overcome in life. When he came home, we discovered he had giardia. That took awhile, but he overcame it. For all his life we have been battling ear infections with him. Not long after we would have the infection cleared, it would come back. Now that he's older, he suffers from hearing loss, some loss of eyesight, and now arthritis in his rear right leg. However, he's still sharp. He knows in the morning when he comes inside from doing his business, it's time to eat. Same after work. I can let him outside and he uses his canine senses to go out & come back to the door.

Well, the vet has come in to check him out. So going to go for now. Just wanted to share a bit on my dog who is very loved, but not a Chihuahua.

Yes, I know this is supposed to be about my three chihuahuas, but I also have three cats. It is very important to have your cat see a veterinarian at least once a year. This is your reminder!
