Quarterly āfoster failā updateā¦
Hey everyone!
I decided I need to post another update on our little āfoster failā pup, Lenny! To refresh, Lenny was found on the street back in February this year completely malnourished and in terrible shapeā¦. You have all been so kind and invested in his story, and since he has so many uncles and aunties on Reddit, itās only fitting that I keep you up to date!! *FYI: first pic is the day we got him, and all the ones after are his most recent photos. He is a ham.\*
We have had Lenny for 6 months now and WOW has he made a complete turn around from where he was. He has gone from having fleas, a ROUGH skin infection, patchy hair, crusted ears (weāre still a little crusty but itās fine, we are working on it), and a tail that was COMPLETELY bald, to a thriving little cutie. No more skin infection, no fleas, the ears are much better but still a work in progress (we are using coconut oil to help keep the ears moisturized, the vet is not concerned with this right now.), he has a beautiful fluffy coat now and his tail almost has all of its hair back!!!
As I mentioned in my last post, Lenny does have heart disease and a grade 6/6 heart murmur. He is taking 2 medications twice a day for his heart and so far all has been well! We have bloodwork in October and our 6 month follow up with the cardiologist as well in October. We are hoping for as clean of a bill of health as we can get, but our little old man is thriving. He loves his brother Toby, loves to snuggle, gives lots of kisses, and he even RUNS NOW!!! He didnāt run for a while because he was so tired and malnourished, but now he runs and plays with his brother in the yard, and he jumps up and down to greet us when we get home! Him and his brother are so close they like to pee on the same bush at the same timeā¦.. evidence is in the photos šš
We have our own little morning routine where he stands on my chest until I wake up and say āgoooooood morningggggggg mister Lennyā, then he dances around the bed and rubs his head on the blankets until we get up and go outside. He canāt be separated from us or he starts SCREAMING. š Lenny likes to sit on top of his brother and he also loves to eat watermelon. Lenny also loves to hump his dad. Only dad. No one and nothing else. We tried to teach him not to do that, but honestly at his age, go off big papa. š
Lenny has quite a few nicknames he has collected:
Len
Len Len
Yenny
Crunchwrap Supreme
Mr. Stink
Mr. Backwards (he walks backwards when he wants out from under a blanket instead of turning around)
Mr. Meanie (he hates everyone except mom and dad)
Little Man
Boobie
Lenny has completely changed mine and my husbandās lives, and we absolutely adore him. I donāt know how someone could abandon him on the street like they did, but Iām so glad he found his way to us. However much time we get with him, we are so thankful for. He is so funny, sweet, and just fits perfectly into our little family.
We plan on taking family photos for the holidays so Iāll be sure to post the results here for his uncles and aunties to see! Lenny sends lots of love and wet kisses to you all and your pups šš

Rainbow Bridge We miss you so much, Chewie
Six days ago, we made the most difficult decision in our lives to send our beloved Chewie across the rainbow bridge. He was 16.5 years old and defied all the negative chihuahua stereotypes. He was the best chi ever. We love you and miss you so much, our beloved pocket wolf.
Please hold your sweet chis a little tighter for us today.
Edit: Thank you, all, for the lovely comments and support š„¹šā¤ļø

My Chi Chi loves to jump into the bathtub
Not because he wants a bath, oh no no no! He just jumps into the bathtub for the hell of it because my life isnāt chaotic enough. Heās jumped OUT of the bathtub on occasion by himself but most of the time he cries because he canāt get out like itās not his own fault that heās in thereš

Alien Encounter!
Hey there folks. Edna wanted to give her perspective on the new household member. I warn you she gets a little foul, but itās hard to find a Chi that minds their Pās and Qās.
Edna:
Itās been 10 days since Mom brought this grotesque deer rabbit alien into my domain. She spends a lot of damn time with it, ergo, I being her top-flight security, have to stick close and make sure the crazy-eyed little suck monster doesnāt start no shit. It gets SO many snack jugs, all day, not fair! But at least the fecker isnāt eating my nug-nugs. Theyāre mine, and my name aināt Sharon. Itās ears are bigger than mine, and itās got weird hard feet with springs. It even uses my emergency bathroom pad in the house but I have to go outside to be called a good girl. Iāve tried to take a bite, or three, to see if it tastes good but Mom gets mad and says thatās a baby. Uh, bullshit! Bitch Iām THE baby!! I had to see if it was edible. When she brought it home I thought it was gonna be eaten because of what they were calling it. Itās still here. I think Mom likes it. I donāt! So Iām very UNhappy to introduce you to my newest charge, like I donāt have enough on my plateā¦anyway, meet Barbara Queue the goat. I guess that was her name, and not dinner plans.

F@*$ tariffs - ordering a muzzle for my foodie Chihuahua
My dangerously food motivated Chihuahua mix needs a muzzle because she scavenges like crazy and has too good of a nose for food (and poop) she shouldn't eat.
Finally got around to ordering a muzzle from Mia's muzzles just to find out it's going to cost me so much extra money because of tariffs..... FDT
