We have enjoyed several chihuahuas and other dogs in our 59 years of marriage and just recently got Lucy (chi-pin) through an online ad this past February. She is so much fun. She and my husband are always challenging each other and she races around the house like a rocket!! The vet says she is probably about 1-1/2 years old. She is very good with children but we havent had her around other pets yet so we dont know just how sweet she will be, lol.
