Concerning Chi Chi

I have received so many e-mails since Chi Chi became ill and I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for the outpouring of support!

The photo that I am posting today was shot Wednesday night (7/22/09) around 8pm.

Chi Chi continues to take his meds (two pills every morning) and they have truly improved his quality of life! Since he has began his treatment he is back to his playful self. He has not passed out or had difficulty breathing, and although the doctor continues to inform us that this is only temporary, we will continue to enjoy the time we have left with him.

Thanks again for your love and support!

Update on Chi Chi

We got home from the vets about an hour ago, and unfortunately, we did not receive good news. Cheech has cancer and fluid is building up on his lungs, which is causing too much stress on his heart; resulting in his passing out. The doctor wasn't very optimistic; he's not sure Cheech will make it through the weekend. He gave him a shot and plenty of meds, to keep him comfortable, and told me to call him tomorrow. He scheduled Cheech another appointment for Monday; just in case.

I wanted to thank everyone for all the e-mails today! I promise I will respond just as soon as time allows!

Hello Everyone ~

Chi Chi is my 15 year old Chihuahua, and he has been very ill the past few days. He can only walk a few steps before passing out. I'm worried that we're going to lose him. This afternoon we will be taking him back to the doctor. It's so sad... Cheech is more than a pet; he's a member of our family. If you have a furry family member give them a hug today!
