Sparky Update
First off, I wish to apologize for not posting so much lately. A new job and a nasty cold seemed to have slowed me down. When I get home from work, all I had time for before falling asleep was taking care of my pets.
Sparky is doing awesome now. He is a little over 10 weeks old and he weighs in at 1 pound 2 ounces, which means he gained 4 ounces in the last two weeks. He is fully eating his dry puppy food and he is readily drinking his own water. He has his own water dish since he is so small and he goes to it (which is a long way from the living room) when he is thirsty.
He is still learning how to gown down the puppy stairs. He can get up in a heartbeat but I think the down part is still scary to him. He is really into playing with several of the other Chihuahuas. He is particularly fond of Angel Baby (who is 4.5 pounds) and Maxwell (who is 10 pounds). He is also good buddies with Chimi (3.5 pounds) although her sister Changa doesn’t really care for Sparky.
I will try to post a little more regularly as my life gets back to normal.
How have you all been?
