I've always wanted a chiweenie, and one day I was going to a different store when I decided I'd go in to the pet shop next door. There just happened to be 3 chiweenies and 2 chihuhuas in there. I told my Fiance we HAD to go back that night! We went back about 6 hours later and we held two identical chiweenies, and the one we picked was this one, Buddy! My Fiance named him, although we were fighting in the store about what to name him so we could get a tag made for him right away. The first 2 nights, he slept without a peep because he was so scared. We got him 2 weeks before christmas 08. He is 9months old and only 5lbs, he can get up to 8lbs. He's been hard to train but we're still working with him. He's very spoiled and loves his mommy! :)
