Three years ago (January), my husband and I adopted a little longhaired, approx. 10-year-old chihuahua named ChaCha. She came with a red Christmas sweater and at the time of adoption, she had very little hair and came with a little baggie of pills to treat her heart failure. I don't know if you remember her, but I thought I'd give you an update because she is now the light of our life and we owe it all to you. Her name is Lulu now, although we call her ChaCha occasionally as an homage to her foster home. I got a job at a vet clinic and she came to work with me every day, and believe me, people loved her more than they loved me! I am currently in the vet school at Ohio State, and she of course is with me. It took awhile for her to bond with me but she is so completely attached to me now...Lulu was the best decision of our life. She has had her meds tweaked several times, but is actually in better shape than when I adopted her (yay). Her coat is so thick and long that I have to have her clipped in summers, and she never has breathing attacks like she used to. Of course, she is also on a lot more medication than she was, so I know I am only prolonging the inevitable...but it is completely worth it and I advertise to everyone how rewarding senior dog adoption is! (By the way, she also lost vision in one eye, and the other eye is unfortunately going, but she honestly doesn't seem to mind as long as I warn her when I'm behind her). I have attached a photo of her doing what she does best (sleeping). Thanks again for everything and keep up the good work, Janelle and Vince Nerone PS--In case you can't remember, her photo on Petfinder was her standing on a desk next to a box of Cheez-its (or some cheese cracker), in her red Christmas sweater.
