September 11, 2022 : RIP
In (Very) Loving Memory:
While we have been away, our little Eve has had a stroke and died at the age of 16. It happened suddenly on Sunday September 11th @ 5:30pm. Our very good friends watching her for us called us right away when she collapsed, and she couldn’t get back up again. Thanks to Whatsapp we were able to see for ourselves she had suffered a major stroke. My friends located an emergency clinic with critical care facilities available but before they could bundle her up and rush her to the clinic she stopped breathing.
We were all devastated. One minute she was enjoying the smell of the flowers outside and the next she was gone. Although through the years she had lost most of her hearing, eye sight and teeth she still could smell any thing and she used it to get around. We were privileged to have had that little 5 pound treasure in our lives since we adopted her at from CCRT at age 9. She had our hearts in her little paws from day one.
She will be greatly missed by everyone, especially her mom who was with her everyday, having never been apart from her for very long since the very first time they met thanks to CCRT and she became part of the family.
She will never be forgotten by any of us.
RIP beautiful girl

So sorry for your loss. We loss our sweet gentle “Oreo”at 13 years old the same way (2018). It was devastating for us and her fur sister “Baby”. We loss our sweet bossy “Baby” at 16 years old, she delveoped a heart condition at 14 years old and passed (2020). Our home felt so empty without both of our little chihuahuas. So, we made the decision to adopt a senior male chi “Mickey” and we just adopted a senior female chi “Missy” both are 10 years old. It was the best decision we ever made. They both have different personalities (one is bossy and the other one is so sweet), but they make us laugh everyday. All rescue dogs have so much love to give us (especially little senior chihuahuas). They can never replace the ones we lost, but it feels so good that we were able to give two sweet senior chis a loving, safe forever home. I count my blessings everyday for being chosen to be their paw parents🐾.
I hope in time you will able to give another rescue chi a loving home. Little “Eve” was very lucky to have you in her life. She knew she was loved🐶.
RIP…little Eve🐾.
