Her little half chihuahua, half min pin, Nicky, had to be put down after a serious heart attack. She was 12 1/2 years old. Janet (my mother in law) got her from an abusive home when Nicky was 6 months old. The family had bought her to be a playmate to their other dog, but in the process abused her (Nicky would run away from anyone standing and would not come to anyone unless they were sitting down.) Janet could tell the dog had been abused and since the people were trying to sell her without much success, Janet said she'd buy her. Her first intention was just to get her used to people and then give her o soemone who would take care of her. Little Nicky bonded to her sons and she's been a member of the family ever since. She was a sweet little thing who led unsuspecting visitors to their doom...lol. Well, basically if you sat down, she'd jump on your lap and then you'd pet her...she would not let you stop. You stopped she would put her head under your hand...and if you ignored her she would either move her head for the effect or she would give you this intimidating stare. So, the passign of a great family pet is gone, but she is in a better place now. Just prayers of comfort on the family please.
