My name is Jingles!

Jingles, born roughly on 12/1/18, is the sweetest little tripod you will ever want to meet! He loves to snuggle and is friendly towards other dogs and cats, though he's a bit timid with dogs who are larger than he is (and face it, as a chihuahua, that's most of them!) but he still responds calmly to them. The only time he gets worked up is when he decides it's time to be fed! He's not very energetic- he likes to spend most of his time in his bed/kennel. He is crate-trained and will hold his bladder/bowels overnight. He understands what being put outside to go potty means, and cooperates, but he HATES cold weather- will manage his "business" and immediately return to the door and whine to be let back in. He would do well in a home with children old enough to know to be gentle. He would also do well in a home that does not require more than one or two stairs to get in and out- with only one front leg, you could change his name to "Slinky" and have a pretty accurate idea of what it looks like if he does try to go down a flight of stairs. A retired person/s living on a single level or an apartment that allows dogs would be excellent due to this consideration. Because of the lack of one front leg and his sedentary lifestyle preference, it's important to watch his weight, since any excess makes it harder for him to ambulate. He's not too pleased with this, but it is in his best interest, and he loves eating from your hand if you permit it.
