My 2 Girls


This is Sophia with our sweet dog Abby. I bought Abby when I was feeling baby hungry while we were in the adoption process. I remember the night the little boys and I brought her home. I was set on a girl, and was looking for a Maultese/Poodle but ended up w/ a little Chihuahua in the mix.

Kimball was against the idea of getting a dog, but since he was out numbered he lost the battle. So the boys and I went alone out in the dark rainy night. I was prepared to say no if I didn't like what I saw, and honestly I never wanted a Chihuahua. In fact, I don't like Chihuahua's and Jaxon had always begged for one. Once I saw her and knew she was the runt and the only girl, and then saw Jaxon's face, I couldn't say no. I was clueless what to do, we went to Petco and bought way more than what was needed. I drove the employee crazy asking every question imaginable. For the next week, we held her and loved on her like a new baby. I felt like a new mom all over again. Abby was just what I needed while on our adoption journey, she was so sweet and gentle. After that, I just knew I wanted a girl.

Kade (the ultimate snuggler) held her as much as possible and needless to say Kimball melted like butter when he saw her. He's such a softy like that! Jaxon is in charge of feeding her and together the boys bathe her.

You couldn't ask for a more kid friendly dog. She is so sweet and loving with Sophia and probably puts up with more than she should have to. They are joint at the hip. I swear having females brings a different spirit in the house. I love my 2 girls!
