Hi Shayna!
Please forgive me for my delay in writing you! It’s been bonkers here with the school year ending the day after our little one arrived on your doorstep!
Troy was just AMAZING. He is the kindest, most reliable person you could have ever chosen to get Leeloo Trixie to us. He gave us updates throughout the trip, and he was so much fun to chat with when he arrived here. He really enjoyed our little girl’s company during his big trip out west, and we couldn’t be more thankful!
So, Leeloo Trixie has been an absolute JOY. She took no time to settle right in, and is the friendliest, most curious and fearless little chihuahua I’ve ever encountered. And we are SO proud she is ours! She has gotten so fond of everyone in our family, and has loved all the attention and unlimited lap time she is getting. She basically plays really energetically for about 20 minutes, then naps about 45 minutes, then plays again for 20 and so on in a cycle, which is hilarious.
She immediately started eating well and drinking plenty of water right away. It took her no time at all to acclimate! It also took her ONE DAY to pad train, and has had no problems crate-training. Not a whimper! All I can say is, you can feel comfort in that she is very happy to be here, and we love her oh so much.
She has already met quite a few people and has been incredibly friendly to them, including our son’s 3rd grade teacher, people at the stores, delivery people, pizza delivery person and so on. Her first big trip out was to our local grocery store where all the clerks just lost it! (In a very good way!) They told us she is welcome to the store anytime.
Her vet visit went very well - we loved the vet tech and the receptionist - but the vet we had was a relief vet who was very preachy and condescending to me, even knowing that I previously raised a chihuahua from puppyhood. I did not appreciate that AT ALL. She also kept insisting on the Leptospirosis vaccine and I just firmly shook my head and told her that that is not an option we are willing to ever take. I’m sure she hated me but whatever! Luckily, she was the relief vet, and the usual vet will be in for her subsequent visits.
Anyway - all is well and absolutely perfect! We could not be happier with this little chocolate chip cookie bouncing around our home. She is the perfect soul we could have ever imagined having here after such a devastating loss - and we appreciate her amazing energy!
Shayna, THANK YOU so, so much. I am crying as I write this from joy and gratitude for you. You have been absolutely incredible, and none of this would have happened without you. I will keep in touch with questions and such, but I just wanted to let you know how things are going!
Best always,
Rika
PS: pictures!!! We noticed she has heterochromia!!! One eye is a gorgeous pale blue, and the other is grey! Also, I’m attaching my husband sound asleep with her on his neck, haha!!!
