Keeping the Chihuahua/Dachshund

The little Chihuahua/Dachshund cross that I've been fostering for several weeks has carved out a niche for herself in my home and I've decided she has to stay. I can't imagine adopting her to anyone else after all this time and the way she so confidently takes her place with my three terriers. The other three are my constant companions and always find a place near me but Coco is the one who is always on my lap. At bedtme, she's the one who tunnels under the covers and sleeps nearest. She's also been going to work with me, riding in on my shoulder and sitting on my lap at lunchtime. Her little "tiny hiney" is so easy to pack up and take anywhere. My German Shepherd was 112 pounds and It seems each dog I adopt is a little smaller than the one before but this time I think I've reached the bottom. Can't get much smaller than 4 pounds! Even so, she's very energetic and is a good playmate for Cassie who could never seem to get the other dogs to play enough. We're all happy to have her here so...welcome home, Coco!
