My husband holding Gomez our 11 week old merle chihuahua!

From potty training to general obedience, I have been running around in circles taking care of Gomez- with lots of help from my husband. His size changes a lot of things. While potty training, messes are extremely difficult to detect unless he is caught in the act. Constant supervision is needed. I can't let him sleep in bed, because he might get rolled over on or fall off and break his little wrists. When I train him, I usually put him up on the bed and stand so that I can reach him more easily. The "down" command is hard, this is a dog that spends much of his time standing on his hind legs and hopping up and down to be nearer to us. However, his size is a great plus in many ways. He goes almost EVERYWHERE with me. I take him to Meijers (a grocery/general merchandise store similar to Wal-Mart for those of you who've never heard of it) in a special doggy purse. Not very many people notice him in there. He is nice and quiet and sleeps a lot at this age, so generally he is on my lap or on my shoulder. When he isn't sleeping it is energy abound as he plays with toys (his favorites are bigger than he is) and runs around at a rabbits pace. I am in puppy love. Since we got him just a few short weeks ago his ears have begun to stand up and he visibly growing all over. ^v^
