The babies were soon born and each weighed in at about 3 oz each! We kept one, Pinky, and the others went with family members so we always get to see them, especially during the holidays! After several years of miliary life, Sarge and Flower returned home and stayed with their Mommy and Daddy until this day!The little ones are named:
Flower (black with a white stripe after the Disney Skunk character in Bambi). Now Flower is a character.... super shy but once she gets to know you.... watch out! She can run and land on your lap at the slightest notice! She is 5.4 pounds now and 8/23/98 is her 3rd birthday!
Sargeant 76 was (born in the Union 76 station on the way to the emergency hospital at 1:30 am!) Sarge is the only non-black Chihuahua we have.... he is Pinky's favorite... and the apple of his mommies eye (Valentine!!) He is 5.6 pounds. He follows Paul around everywhere he goes!
Pinky (who was born black except for pink feet) is Sue's baby... Never more than 3 micro-inches away from Sue, she constantly stands guard and protects the house. She is 10 pounds.... and super tough!!
Little Mickey (after his daddy because they are so much alike)
JoJo (named by our Aunt before she saw HIM... in case he was a she!)
