This is my Chi puppy Nelly. She is super friendly, loves to kiss EVERY THING, she’s very playful and is just my everything.
I worked at the humane society in the behavior department when I was 16, which is when I met Nelly. She was 7 months old and she had gotten surgery on her left knee.
Her owners couldn’t afford the bills and gave her up to the shelter. I worked one on one with Nelly, exercising her legs to make sure she was able to find her forever home.
I instantly fell in love with her and wanted to adopt her but the medical team wasn’t sure if she needed more surgery or her leg removed. On the bright side she didn’t need anything else and I was told she would walk with a limp but be a happy, healthy dog.
I took her home on August 24th 2014 and she hasn’t limped since. She is very special to me and always brightens my day.
Just thought id share Nelly’s story with you Chi pals.

Hi Shirley, Great story! Yes, I do need at least one photo. I'd be glad to use your profile photo. Are you the Shirley that lives in Danville VA? (My grandparents lived there and my grandfather ran the electricity for the town for many years).

THIS was a very touching story. and I really loved it. my parents have a CHIHUAHUA AND she is very nice, but when one of the family members comes into the house, she starts off BARKING like crazy, I have never ever seen her SNAP at any one. she is very nice to my sister & Brother in law. but she has this one bad habit of barking when she shouldn't be barking.

Yep that's a common problem with Chis. They love to bark.
