This story will open your eyes and allow you to see why the proper outdoor Chihuahua Clothes can actually prevent the worst case scenario.
This is a story about a brave four pound chihuahua survived dreadful owl attack in Illinois.

A four-pound Chihuahua named Chico survived an attack by a great horned owl. The owner George Kalomiris says Chico was saved by his leash and the little doggie winter jacket that Kalomiris zipped him into before taking him out for a nighttime walk in Crystal Lake last week.

Kalomiris was walking Chico early last wednesday when the dog stopped about five feet behind him and began to whimper. He turned and tugged on the leash, but Chico wouldn’t move. Without a sound, an owl swooped down and tried to take Chico away.

Apparently, the owl just came out of nowhere in the darkness. It dragged Chico in the snow, but couldn’t get a good grip because of the sturdy winter jacket Chico was wearing.
chico’s winter jacket ended up saving saved him because it prevented the owl’s talons from digging in deeply enough to latch onto him. kalomiris then screamed at the bird and lunged at it. the owl let go and kalomiris grabbed chico and ran into the house with chico in his arms.

Chico’s head was scratched from getting dragged across the sidewalk and suffered a small puncture wound on his side. He has recovered physically, but now he’s afraid to go out at night, says Kalomiris.

Now you see, why proper Chihuahua Clothes are extreemely vital?..

Sad news from San Diego. One puppy died in a fire in San Diego, but 4 others and their mom were saved from a burning house. The fire started on Tuesday night, in the Logan Heights neighborhood. A man called Peter Colon left a boiling pot and went out, when he returned later he found his stove on fire. He managed to extinguish a visible fire, but it remained burning in the attic. "When something like that happens you can't really think," Colon said. "You can't even remember what you thought." Firefighters were called, they found four Chihuahua puppies and their mother scattered in different rooms. The firefighters brought the puppies out in a kitchen dish. The puppies were really small, just a few days old and didn't even open their eyes yet. "One of the puppies didn't live, the white one, Snowflake," Colon said. "I'm so grateful that nothing happened to the rest of the dogs." The body of the fifth puppy was found later by firefighters. His name was Snowflake because he was albino. "He didn't make it, but the rest of them did, am I'm so grateful for that," Colon said. "If it wasn't for the fire department, I wouldn't have no puppies, no house." A truly sad story. Thank God, a miracle that the other puppies were not hurt. And rest in Peace, Snowflake.

Some people live in small homes. Others to drive small cars.

Summit Township resident Pauline Taylor claims to own the smallest dog in the world.

Poquito, a 2-year-old teacup Chihuahua, weighs 1 pound, 1 ounce. That is smaller than the Guinness world record-holder by 7 ounces.

“I get the same reaction everywhere I go: ‘Is that real?’ That is real ... look at that puppy dog’” Taylor said.

Her response? “It’s not a puppy dog.” That’s as big as he gets.

Taylor purchased Poquito (the name means “very little” in Spanish) when he was 11 months old, sight unseen, for $400 from a family near Hillsdale two years ago. Her goal was to find a small dog to breed with Fancy, her 5-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier.

The two dogs have been unsuccessful, but Taylor, a widow, has found a new best friend in the process. She says she spends 24/7 with both of her pets, but Poquito gets most of the attention.

“He’ll jump up and down like a yo-yo, wanting you to pick him up,” she said. When she sits down to read the newspaper or knit, “He bats it away. He wants full attention on him.”

He gets his wish when the two go out in public, drawing reactions from everyone they run into.

“This dog’s had its picture taken (so many times),” Taylor said. “People are always bringing their friends, relatives, neighbors, asking, ‘Can we see the dog?’”

Taylor said she realized just how distinctive her dog might be a few weeks ago while watching the news. A national story came on about Boo Boo, a female Chihuahua from Kentucky, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest living dog. Records show her measuring 4 inches tall and 1 pound, 8 ounces.

Taylor says Poquito weighed 1 pound, 1 ounce during a Sept. 16 visit to Blackman Animal Clinic, 2300 Wildwood Ave.

Patrick J. Gorczyca, a veterinarian at the clinic, confirmed the measurement Wednesday. Still, Taylor says she has no interest in having Poquito recognized by Guinness.

Gorczyca says the average full-grown Chihuahua weighs anywhere from four to 10 pounds.

“While it is an abnormally small dog ... I’m not an extremist or reactionary person,” Gorczyca said, pointing out that people often breed animals to achieve a certain size. “I’m at that point in my career in which it doesn’t faze me.”

Taylor says she always puts Poquito on a leash when they go outside. She fears birds and seagulls will take him, recalling an incident outside her daughter’s home in which three seagulls circled her dog.


“I worry about hawks and seagulls,” she says. “I’ve had people with dogs bigger than mine say they’ve had seagulls come in and take the dog ... and you never see the dog again.”

When it comes to clothing Poquito, Taylor says she has all but given up. She’s tried a XXX-small sweater to no avail. Barbie doll clothes are too tight on the waist. Toy stores don’t carry bear and doll clothing in small enough sizes.

RURAL HALL, N.C. (WGHP)— Vanessa Calvery, a part-time personal chef since being laid off in January, was driving home from delivering meals on Tuesday evening when she saw a Chihuahua standing in the middle of a road near her house. It was pouring rain and, though stray dogs sometimes roam the streets near her neighborhood, Calvery has two Chihuahuas, and something about this dog made her stop the car.She got out in the downpour, bundled the dog into her car and brought him home.
The little dog wore no collar, but he looked loved, Calvery said.

"I could tell somebody owned him," Calvery said. "His whole demeanor -- you could tell he was somebody's pet."

Calvery brought the dog into her home. She cooked up some chicken and split the meat among the dog and her two Chihuahuas, Duke and Pisant. She made the dog a bed in her TV room with an old blanket.

Calvery hasn't had full-time work since the company she worked for laid her off Jan. 1. Her house is for sale; she hopes to move to Kentucky to be close to her twin sister. When she found the dog in the rain, she said, something moved her to take him in. It had been a hard year for her, and she knew that missing a dog would mean a hard time for someone else.

"I really needed a sign that good things are still out there," she said.

So as the rain fell Tuesday, Calvery settled down for the night and resolved to find the dog's owner.

Meanwhile, John Jenkins, a 67-year-old man who lives in Walkertown, was lying awake in bed. He hadn't slept in two nights, not since his truck was stolen from the parking lot of Walmart on Hanes Mill Road with his dog, Boo'kie, inside. Boo'kie, a 7-year-old Chihuahua, needed medication for a skin condition that caused him to bite and scratch his body, and Jenkins was worried about his pet.

Jenkins, too, needed medicine. He had stopped at Walmart on Monday morning to pick up a prescription. When he came back to the parking lot, his truck -- and Boo'kie -- were gone.

Jenkins was diagnosed with throat and esophageal cancer in May 2009; in June 2009, his wife passed away. Boo'kie had been his companion through both crises, and Jenkins didn't care if he got the truck back -- he just wanted Boo'kie home. Jenkins, his friends and his family had searched all of Monday and Tuesday, but when he went to bed Tuesday night, Boo'kie was still missing.

On Wednesday morning, Calvery called a few veterinarians' offices and a few friends. She called a friend who worked at the post office, "just trying to spread the word that this dog had been found," she said.

One of the dog's paws seemed swollen, and she was worried the dog was injured. She took the dog to Animal Care Clinic in Rural Hall, where she takes her own dogs.

One of the veterinarians at the clinic, Preston Roberts, recognized the dog. The Winston-Salem Journal on Wednesday had a front-page story about Jenkins' search for Boo'kie. The story said Boo'kie had one paw larger than the other, a result of frostbite when he was a puppy. The number to reach Jenkins was published with the story.

Earlier Wednesday, a friend of Jenkins' had seen the stolen truck parked behind an apartment complex in Rural Hall.

So Jenkins had gotten his truck back and had gone to have new keys made. When he got home, he got the call that Boo'kie might have been found, and he and his family rushed to the clinic.

Meanwhile, Roberts and the rest of the clinic staff doted on Boo'kie. They gave him a new collar to replace the one that had been thrown away. They implanted a microchip under his skin, so that if he went missing again, he'd be easy to find.

Jenkins was amazed.

"They done everything," he said, "and they charged me nothing."

Jenkins had offered a $500 reward for Boo'kie's safe return, and when he met Calvery at the clinic, he tried to give her the money.

But she wouldn't take it.

"She said I could donate it to the vet if I wanted to, so I put some money in their jar," he said. Then, Jenkins took Boo'kie to the Hardee's restaurant in Walkertown and bought him a cheeseburger.

Calvery said she couldn't accept Jenkins' money.

"I believe in paying things forward," she said. "And that clinic, they do it every day. They take care of so many animals and so many people."

And, she said, she believes that we all need to help one another. In the 10 months since she was laid off, she has cobbled together a living from part-time work, fighting to keep her life intact.

"You have to keep doing what you need to do to keep yourself together, but there are some days I feel so defeated, I feel like I'm struggling and swimming in a circle," she said. "Every once in a while, you need a day to say, 'We need to look out for one another and stop being so d--- selfish all the time.' And if it's a pup that brings people together, then so be it."

It hаs hаppened sоme time аgо, but we hаven’t written аbоut this fоr sоme reаsоn. But still, this is а greаt stоry, we pоst it nоw especiаlly fоr thоse whо hаven’t heаrd аbоut this аdоrаble Chi!
The stоry is аbоut а Chihuаhuа being credited with sаving the life оf his оwner frоm а burning trаctоr trаiler truck.

While the оwner is recоvering frоm secоnd degree burns аt Bаltimоre Burn Center, the dоg nаmed Cоcо is fighting fоr his life аt а Hаgerstоwn vet clinic. Fоur-mоnth-оld Cоcо is clinging tо life in this оxygen tent, hооked up tо а humidifier, аnd IVS. The tiny Chihuаhuа suffered severe smоke inhаlаtiоn аfter rescuing his оwner frоm а burning semi-truck. Dоctоr Diаnа Sаxtоn hаs been with Cоcо since he wаs brоught in yesterdаy mоrning. "He's nоt dоing tоо well tоdаy. He hаs tаken а turn fоr the wоrse which usuаlly hаppens with yоur smоke inhаlаtiоn victims which usuаlly hаppens within the first 24 tо 48 hоurs аfter they cоme in. Sо his big thing is keeping him stаble with оxygen fluid things like thаt," sаys Dr Sаxtоn. Cоcо аnd his оwner, truck driver Tim Hаrris, hаd just pulled оver аt а rest stоp оff I-70 tо sleep Wednesdаy night when sоmething went wrоng. Hаrris spоke tо us оn the phоne frоm Bаltimоre Burn Center where he is recоvering frоm secоnd degree burns tо his аrms аnd fаce. He sаys he hаd just fаllen аsleep when Cоcо stаrted nudging him. Little did he knоw thаt the entire cаb wаs оn fire. "He wаs clаwing аt me, nudging his cоld nоse up in my fаce, bаrking аt me, usuаlly he is just sоund аsleep," sаys Hаrris.
There is nоt much left оf the trаctоr trаiler. When Hаrris wоke up, he sаys the cаb wаs filled with smоke аnd flаmes. Sо he grаbbed Cоcо аnd gоt оut, then he reаlized Cоcо wаsn't breаthing.
"He wаs limp in my аrms. I hаd tо give him mоuth tо mоuth like а persоn. I hаd tо pinch his little nоse оff, оpened his mоuth аnd breаthed in fоur оr five times. Did thаt а cоuple оf times tо give him аn аir pаssаge аnd finаlly he cаme respоnsive," sаys Hаrris.
Dr Sаxtоn sаys Cоcо hаs been breаthing оn his оwn but he fаces mаjоr chаllenges
"Its very severe. It's tоuch аnd gо," sаys Dr Sаxtоn.
It's hаrd tо sаy exаctly when Cоcо cаn gо hоme. He cоuld be here fоr weeks. Аnd thаt meаns his vet bills will be in the thоusаnds. But аlreаdy the cоmmunity is stepping up.
Peоple hаve been stоpping in аll dаy аt Cumberlаnd Vаlley Vet Clinic dоnаting mоney tо Cоcо's recоvery. Hаrris plаns tо tаke Cоcо hоme аs sооn аs he's well enоugh. He sаys this little dоg is his herо. "Hоw in the wоrld did yоu get оut?" аsks Repоrter Clаudiа Cоffey. "Thаnks tо Cоcо, thаnks tо Cоcо. If it wаsn't fоr Cоcо I wоuld still be in thаt truck," sаys Hаrris.
The cаuse оf the fire is аn electricаl mаlfunctiоn in the trаctоr trаiler's engine. The Humаn Sоciety оf Wаshingtоn Cоunty hаs set up а fund tо help with Cоcа's vet bills.
