Kelly and her duck, plus Scudders

Kelly usually gets passed by at adoptions because she's non-descrip and a Chocolate Chi that is over sized... Maybe part of it is because she was a bait dog used in the dog-fighting industry and that might intimidate some people, fearful that she'd been mean or nasty...

While Kelly has no lack of self esteem (and probably saved her life while used as a bait dog), I wanted to post these pictures I took the past few days of Kelly and Scudders... Scudderbutts is a 12-year old Chi (also a rescue) and weighs about 4 pounds dripping wet... He and Kelly have struck up a friendship over the past few weeks... I'm sure Kelly is like sleeping with a hot water bottle and Scudders is always cold because of his small size...



Kelly is three times Scudders' weight and yet?  He feels comfortable with her temperament to climb in, cuddle up and nap with her in the Chi penthouse...

Kelly has this squishy duck dog toy that she carries around with her... I'm not sure exactly what she thinks the duck is, but she tends to cuddle up with it too... Maybe it's a surrogate for a puppy she once had... Dunno...  But I usually find it close by her during their naps...





How could you not fall in love with such a sweet picture, huh? 








Kelly has come a VERY long way since we rescued her out of the shelter... Her coat has all grown in thick and shiny... And she's put on a few pounds - in fact, I work her every other day on the treadmill now because we don't want her to gain too much weight... Just like us humans, it is not for Chihuahuas to be overweight either...

What a sweet girl~!!... Kelly really needs to find her furever parent(s) who love her because of what she is today - not what she once was... It was not her fault she was used by a bad element of the human society, then dumped into a shelter once she no longer served their purposes!
