IRL Pets

[Ella]

Hi there! I wasn't sure if there was already an actual (irl) pet thread yet or not. If so, I'll put this there. If this belongs in the general pics thread, I'll move it too, but wasn't sure if that was just reserved for humans, sooo..yeah. lmao.

Anyways, I never really had pets growing up. My husband did, but me...I just had a small kitty for a few days until we learned that the wheezing, sneezing and hay-fever like symptoms from my dad was due to the kitten, then a puppy for 2 days who pooped all over the house and my parents didn't want to deal with it, then a newt who lived a decent while, until he got out of the tank during the summer and ran down 5th Ave in Manhattan while 5 people chased him to no avail.

Fast forward many years later, I am happily married, parents retired, have our own lives and such and...were ready to try for a pet (plus we figured we'd start small 1st, before an actual baby, lol). Long story short, we now have an amazing pup together. We are just so proud and happy and love her so much. She is a complete doll. A little obstinate sometimes and has a bit of a staring problem (which gets uber creepy, lol) but a really loving sweetie in general. Her name is Nikita (also responds to Nika.) She is a pure bred chihuahua. Onto some pics!


In her bed when we brought her home after she had her Spaying surgery. The shaved area underneath was where the procedure was done (poor thing). However, she didn't seem to mind the cone at all during the entire healing process (a few weeks), which was great!


The day she got her cone off and was fully healed. She LOVES dresses and clothing. We were going for a ride to Petco, another place she adores, lol.


With my husband Andrew, in her new pink terry cloth hoodie getting ready for her walk yesterday.


Again with my hubbie, this time with her hood up, lmao. She looked so hysterical and adorable. She actually liked it on and wore it up outside the whole time. The back of it says "Queen Bee" in pink/silver with rhinestones and hearts all over, haha.


Edit: This was just about 25 min ago before we went out for a walk, hood up and all! She is so good at just sitting and waiting for me, lol. Sorry for the darker pic quality but I just had to take it fast and show it <3
