Bailey is a 1.5 – 2 year old Chihuahua-Pomeranian (according to www.dogbreedinfo.com, The American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club and Designer Breed Registry all recognize this breed as a “Chiranian.” Eeew. Only the International Designer Canine Registry® recognizes them as a “Pomchi” which I greatly prefer. Take that, other three organizations.) My girlfriend Shelby came up with “Pomhuahua” which cracks me up, and deserves recognition for creativity, I think.

She is the sweetest little thing. Blonde and beautiful, with fluffy ears and a fluffy rear end. But she has some FIGHT in her – she can tug-of-war like a champ. I bought her a “Raccoon Skin” style toy (pretty sure this is the one, pictured on the right there) and she has already removed it’s body from the tail section. She growls when she pulls and then sometimes she’ll shake the crap out of her toy like it’s GONNA DIE. It’s pretty hilarious to watch a 5 pound dog do something like that. Make no mistake, this little girl is tough.

Oh, but she’d tender too. She loves a good snuggle, and from day one, she’s slept next to me in the bed. She’s a mama’s girl through and through (she was with her last family too) and that suits me just fine because she was my idea. However, she does like Will and he really likes her too. The best part is that Xander likes her. Xander is kind of fearful of dogs (all dogs, even the itty bittiest of them) and he’s taken to her right away.

I’m just totally enamored!
