The Primcats rescued a DOG~ What?!?


Hi Friends,

You read that title right.

The Primcats adopted a dog.

Meet Holly!

Holly is a 4 year old, 3.5 pound Chihuahua that we adopted December 20th. 

She is about the size of a remote. Not much bigger.

Here’s us on night one.

She was in a very sad situation where her owner had lost interest in her and she was keeping her shut off completely from the family. The other house dog was using her as chew toy and the 5 year old son was way to rough and putting her in danger. So they just shut her away by herself for at least the last year.

A friend of mine who works in dog rescue was contacted and I saw Holly on her FB page that she needed a home and I jumped. Shane and I have been talking about a tiny dog for a long time but nothing ever came to me.

Until I saw that face and I knew she belonged with us.

I knew I needed to give her piles of toys and lots of love.

And now she has them.

She LOVES teenie greenies! NOMS!

Our biggest concern was of course how the cats would react. But I am happy to say that The only one who has had any reaction is Holly. She has had a few “your invading my space moments” with different cats. Other than that everyone is shockingly indifferent to her being there.

Here’s a super sweet moment…

Tell me that isn’t the cutest thing ever? You can’t. It is.

Until next time…

We have a very tiny chi too and I am glad you saved her. They need lots of warmth as they burn calories keeping warm and ours sleeps with us. She is so darling. She will love you back as much as you love her.

Hey Carmen!
How stinkin cute :-) wish we were neighbors. My girlfriend surprised me after christmas with a 9 week old baby boy, he looks quite a lot like her. We named him Oliver! Same type situation, rescued him from a nasty breeder. I never thought I'd take to such a small tike, but I'm smitten. My cats accepted him well also. Good luck, bet she thought she won the puppy lottery!

Lynn said...

oh she is such a cutie! Thank Goodness that she was taken out of that abusive household!! I csn' t

tolerate people mistreating animals.

I have some cute doggie outfits that my girls grew out of. If you would like them for Holly just email me. They velcro around the belly area. They are all handmade by a lady that owns a business up the road from me. It is called Cozy Petz. Bella loves her fleece pjs and will wear them until I have to take them from her to wash them. Crazy girl!
Puppy hugs to Holly!
Hugs,
Lynn

What a tiny sweety! Lucky little doggy she has found the best home! So glad the primcats are taking well to her.

Wicked Faerie Queen said...

Bless your heart Carmen. I work with a small Rescue and I cannot believe how many dogs are just forgotten when the families get bored with them.

She is adorable but you must admit she is as close to looking like a cat as a little dog can get.

Congratulations,
Sue

What a blessing for all of you! How sad she had to spend so much time alone, poor baby, and didn't deserve it. Bless you all for rescuing her. She is a beautiful baby. The cats may think she is a BIG mouse! Enjoy

Raymond Homestead said...

It makes me so happy to know Holly now has a wonderful loving home! Bless her heart!

nancy huggins said...

I am sooooo happy for you and especially for Holly. She looks a lot like the little dog that my Daughter Nellie rescued last summer. He also had not such a good life and had a pin in his leg from getting hit by a car. Your little Holly looks so happy in her new home. I have some hand made dog beds listed in my selling blog and would be pleased to give you a discount on one of them. Go to my blog and click on the link there to go to my selling blag. You mmade me smile today ...how could your Cat's not Love something so precious :)

Sandi @ The Primitive Skate said...

How Precious Carmen! Holly is Adorable! Funny how she is smaller than the cats. She must be real tiny!
Glad you could take her in. Thanks for sharing!

Earlene said...

I found your blog through Karen's and I'm so glad I did. Your new baby is so adorable and looks so happy to be with you. You and your family have such kind hearts. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Maybe they don't know she's a dog, she is tiny. Some of our cats used to sleep with the cocker spaniels, the dogs didn't like it as much as the cats though, but we did have peace in the house even if we did have 2 dogs and six or seven cats!

All I can say is...she was meant for you...too bad she had to wait so long for you to find her!---Jan

Hi, Carmen, Little Holly is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life! What a pampered life she will lead now, as the only dog. I am so happy she came to live with you. I love her name, too, I had a cocker once named Holly.
