From 6 1/2 ounces to 6 1/2 pounds in 11 weeks. I think we have the "Clifford the Big Red Dog" of chihuahuas. This one, we're keeping.

Bennie D. (the D is for Dave, the rescue groups official name for him) will be our ambassador to the assisted living apartments and unofficial therapy dog for my parents.

The other pups are up for adoption now on the site's webpage. Then the major puppy caregiving will be at an end. Sad to see them go, but also a relief. One puppy will be enough!
