The Three Chis

I am back and ready to take 2012 on and to make a difference!  Just in case you haven't met me or forgot who I am...here's the 411.

I am Little Mingo.  I am a seven year old cute little chi living in the SF Bay Area with Fiesta, Mingo, Capio and soon to join the family...McGee. 

My Kt (AKA Mom) runs the San Francisco Chihuahua Meetup.  www.meetup.com/sfchihuhua This is by far the HOTTEST small dog group in the entire Bay Area.  We have 200 active members.  Our people are fun and the dogs cute and silly and lovable. Our group is also VERY active in rescue.  I will talk lots about rescue this year in the Mingo's Blog for Dogs.

If you live in the SF Bay Area, do you come to the San Francisco Chihuahua Meetup?  If you live elsewhere, do you have a group in your arean?  Do you want tips on how to set up your won meetup?

I am back ... I promise and the next posts will be about the many dogs that have come through our home in the past two years.  Fostering is a great way to make a difference. 

Until then, peace out...Little Mingo

How is it already March? And yes, it is offically SPRING!  I am happy to have the long sunny days, I just don't know where the short, cold, rainy days went. 

It's been a busy time for us....We have had five dogs living in our home for the past three weeks.

Zoe came back and was here with us as her adoptive family took the time to think seriously about the lifetime committment of a pet and especially a pet with special needs.  And the right decision was made...Zoe went home with Les & Kathy just yesterday.  I will miss her.  We started playing just a few days ago.  It took Zoe a long time to figure it out but once she did, she was a play machine.  She'd wake us up late at night, early in the morning and all throughout the day to play!  I know Zoe will be back...in fact, she will be here with us in May for a week.  Hope she still likes playing!

And Nikko.  Talk about a lucky, lucky dog.  It was a cold RAINY Friday and both Tim & Kate were home in the middle of the day.  Not a common occurrence.  Kate saw an urgent ad on Craigslist about a dog who was scheduled to be euthanized at 2pm and it was already 2:04pm.  A quick email and an even faster return call and it was off to Martinez on a wet Friday afternoon during rush hour traffic.  But it was meant to be.  Nikko is a sweet & lovable dog who was happy from the moment he settled into Kate's arms.  And today, Nikko became Jake.  He has a new home with Yulia and her little chihuahua Peanut!  We will miss our howling parties with our very own singer Nikko but wow, he is now living in Marin with the nicest of people!

And...so we wouldn't be complete without another foster...before Jake even left, Amanda arrived.  A crazy ball chasing Chihuahua-mix is now crashed out on the sofa with me.  She is full of energy and thinks we could play more but hey, she can run and we can sniff and we can all sun together :).  I am betting that Amanda will be here a very, very short time.  She is going to an adoption fair tomorrow and who can resist a girl as pretty and full of fun as Amanda!

So................I will be back.  I will.  But now, my greenie beckons.  I must go eat it!

Love,

Little Mingo
