New Family Member - Yoshi Boo Chan

We always love animals but never really thought about getting a dog until NOW. We know that dogs are adorable, be it big or small but we also heard of the challenges that comes with keeping them healthy and happy. It took us some time before committing ourselves to making this big decision. We planned this after finally decided to get one. We started getting information from internet and also books before deciding the breed of the puppy we are to get. We got so overwhelmed with the information at times and put it aside for months and then we will be back thinking how good it is if we got a dog right now. 

Finally we decided and we are off to find the right dog for our family. We searched for a few months and we found Yoshi Boo Chan. He is a three months old long coated chihuahua boy. Just like any new dog owner who read too much hence expected too much, our first few weeks with Yoshi wasn't quite enjoyable because we were still teaching him the right place to go potty, he was bitey due to teething, he got into everything and anything around the house and the worst part was, he whined and cried whole day and whole night if we were to leave him alone for a while (Even for a few minutes to go get shower). I watched all these YouTube video showing how these dogs get it the first time they were thought to "sit" or "down" and got disappointed when Yoshi didn't even get what I was saying for a few days. There are thoughts about giving up as well but we did not. I was a nervous wreck for the first few weeks, that was the first time I ever been that way. I called my husband every hour to complain and he was online with me at all times. I cried and broke down a few times too many in front of my husband. He never gave up, he told me to hang on because everything will be alright even though he doesn't know the way to solve the problem. 

Many months had passed ever since that day. I am glad today that I hang on to my husband and to my faith in God. I prayed and was ever closer to God during these trying time. Just like many websites said "Do not give up!" I now stand with all the dogs owners and said "Do not give up, it will be worth it." 

Here you go our lovely fur-baby (He is not so baby anymore! Just got neutered two weeks ago).
