Chimmie is a beast. Like the Incredible Hulk for dogs. Amazing, gigantic, can he get any bigger, what the heck is going on, kind of dog!! Linda said he was a good boy at his vet appointment today. No crying or whining at all. They checked his incision (it was perfect), took his temperature (normal) then weighed him. That is when Linda almost fell off the stool. In two weeks he has gained almost a pound! For a Chihuahua, that is just ridiculous. He is now almost 8 1/2 pounds. His body fat is probably 0%. He is so skinny that not only can you feel his ribs, you can see them. The vet said he looks perfect, he is just going to be a very large Chihuahua. He is already towering over me. Soon Chip cat will be hiding from Chimmie, not the other way around. We saw Chim's parents, they were about 4 and 6 pounds each, both pure Chihuahuas. Maybe his great, great grandfather was a doberman! That could be why he looks so much like Snickers. The vet did mess up and forget to do his micro-chip during his surgery. Now he has to go back and get it implanted. He better not get lost between now and then. Here is a photo of him at his very first vet visit. He was just over 3 pounds.
P.S. Looking at his paws in this photo, we should have known he was going to be a beast. His paws are already abnormally large for a 3.5 pound dog.
