Our tiny Mouse, now lives with Laura.  She sent us wonderful pictures and an update.

"The first 3 days or so that Mouse was here, he spent the majority of them on me or cuddled up with one of our Dachshunds, Miss Katie Ann (who mothers him like crazy). We were wondering if he even knew how to bark he was so quiet!

Moving forward to the present time, Mouse has become quite the little ring leader around here.......that has GOT to be a Chihuahua thing because my daughter's Chi is the same way! He can bark with the best of them, and believe me, our Doxies can bark!

He really struts his stuff now, and is sporting around town in quite the wardrobe these days, thanks to EBay and Michelle's handiwork with fleece.

Mouse is quite content to share our bed with the 3 Doxies every night and I swear he and Molly Bean are competing to see who can snore the loudest!

Everyone that meets Mouse falls in love with him, but they all assume he is a puppy because he is so small! And I ask you, who could not love that face!?

Mouse is developing more of a coat now.....he has these long wispy hairs popping out all over his chest and around his neck, and he has gained 2 ounces. Only 6 more ounces to reach his desired weight. Because of Mouse's heart issues, he needs to stay on the slim side. But despite his diagnosis of a Grade 4 heart murmur, he pours forth the love of a heart a hundred times the size and strength of the one life has dealt him.

We have given him a middle name now...Mouse Angel (except we say the Hispanic version of Angel which is spelled the same but pronounced "On-yell", because he truly is our little Angel. Sometimes the best gifts come in the smallest of packages.

Endless thank yous to PUP for blessing our lives with this tiny bundle of joy!"

  In January, 2008 we received another update from Mouse's mom.

Mouse continues to do really well.  His mom writes..,He has more outfits then I do!  Oh I love this little boy!!!!!!  His mannerisms are so cute, he is like a cartoon!
