Here is Riki meeting the member of the family.

My wife has decided that Riki is to big, so somehow female logic says that to make a big dog smaller you just get another dog! :rolleyes:

This one is a female so of course that is somehow superior. :confused:

She is a Papillon/ Chihuahua mix. We have yet to name the little thing, my first suggestion was "le petite dejuene" thinking of what Riki would do when he met her, but it also may be approiate in a historic sense also. We are still working on it.

So far they seem to be getting along pretty well, she has been chasing him around the room!

Scott,
Yeah, binary logic, that is it 1 + 1 = 0 (no carry!)

Until I saw the second photo, I was thinking that little puppy had one amazingly long tail, then realized it's your wife's hair that just wound up in just the right place to look like it was a continuation of the puppy's tail. :biggrin:

What an absolutely adorable puppy! I can't believe your wife thinks Riki is too big though. He barely looks much bigger than the puppy! He's growing into a beautiful dog too. :approve:

I want a puppy! :cry: But, I don't have the time or space to be a good puppy mommy. :frown:

Yeah, you have to do a real scale shift to think of Riki as big. He is just a lot bigger then my wife had in mind! :rofl:

:redface: Oops...somehow my brain translated it being your wife's new dog to it being your wife holding the dog.

I LIKE IT!

She is not exactly a Andulusian, probably not as big as a Andulustian paw!

I was hoping you wouldn't mind the extra burden!

The little girl is showing lots of spirit. She is already chasing Riki off, he is still trying to figure out just what this new little toy is all about!

I thought that Mickey Mouse shirt would have sent an alarm off for Zz.

Look at the first photo.

My brain would love a vacation. I'd be more than happy to oblige, I could send it by fedex to some tropical, tropical island. In fact, I'd like to accompany it on its vacation.

Maybe we should start dropping hints to Zz about the hidden Disney pic? How long before he finds it?

Are you sure that Riki isn't going to swallow him. He did eat a couch, after all.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Though, I hope she doesn't grow into those ears, or your wife is going to be disappointed again over the size of the dog! :bugeye: You'll have to get an even bigger one to shrink the others. :biggrin:

NO! MINE!

I'm so lucky! :biggrin: I get to puppy/kitty sit whilst they are away for vacation. :approve:

Aren't those ears something!

We can see a lot of the Chihuahua in her face and body. She does have some signs of the Papillon fur ruffs so perhaps she will grow into something like Riki's coat.

Actually I was pullling that out of memory as a quote from Napoleon. That was supposed to be his reference to Wellington's army, just before the battle of Waterloo.

Did we also take a small bite, bigger then we can chew?

I hope so. The one thing I don't like about Chihuahuas is their skimpy coat. They're such tiny dogs that short hair just always leaves them looking like starving waifs, even if they are well-fed. If she gets a papillon coat, she'll be absolutely, irresistably adorable! (Well, she is already, but who can resist a puppy?) I hope you're ready for high energy too!
