nearly 200 animals, primarily chihuahuas and small dogs, were rescued from a chihuahua shelter in tehachapi, california last week. the humane society and kern county animal control removed the animals in a grueling operation rescue after the director of the chihuahua rescue organization was evicted from the property where the shelter resided.
your chihuahua can not explain its symptoms, so it’s your responsibility to keep him or her healthy and to determine whether or not they need veterinary care. chihuahuas tend to want to hide their illness, so it is up to you to check your chihuahua for abnormalities.
indications of a “sick chihuahua” include:
lethargy
disorientation
weakness
weight loss
seizure
lack of appetite
vomiting
diarrhea
unproductive retching, straining to urinate
bloody urine
difficulty or inability to walk
bleeding, pale mucous membranes
difficulty breathing and persistent cough
you know your chihuahua best and can often notice subtle early warning signs that someone else may not detect. if you notice any of the mentioned symptoms or other signs, call your veterinary hospital immediately, do not wait! your chihuahua must be examined.
yes, we have heard of over-the-top dog treatment, but little ms. conchita posner is setting the new standard.
hanging out at the same millionaire “bone bar” that trouble helmsley does (the white maltese that received $12 million of leona helmsley’s riches), if there was “the simple life” for dogs, little conchita would be paris hilton and trouble helmsley would be nicole richie.
conchita’s mother gail posner, socialite and daughter to the late business tycoon victor posner, stops at nothing to ensure “the boss”, who weighs 1.4 oz, is happy.
so what’s a daily routine like for conchita the chihuahua?
conchita the chihuahua has a full time staff, her own bedroom in posner’s sunset island mansion; a four-season wardrobe filled with fabulous chihuahua clothing and accessories; a dog wig made exclusively for her by ruth regina, the former make-up artist to the beatles and marilyn monroe and gems like her recent christmas gift, a tiffany’s gold and diamond necklace with a ring which serves as her “evening collar”.
little conchita travels everywhere with gail which includes daily lunches at the shore club’s ago, here she keeps her physique trim with grilled chicken breast carefully placed on a napkin to absorb any excess grease. it doesn’t end there. “the boss” will also get a range rover of her choice as posner feels that her chauffeured escalade is no longer big enough for just the two of them.
posner is a huge philanthropist and recently donated $25,000 to a local humane society in support of pro-life for sheltered animals, one of many charities that posner has donated to. posner definitely spoils her tiny teacup-sized chihuahua conchita, but she also gives back to charity and that in our books makes her a wonderful person.
famous chihuahua would like to thank alexandra kann for sharing this information with us and gail posner for her continued support to charities for sheltered animals.
there are thousands of sheltered chihuahuas that need homes. if you plan to get one, please consider adoption from a chihuahua rescue organization near you.
update: famous chihuahua sends their deepest condolences to the posner family for the recent passing of ms. gail posner in march 2010. this feature was first published in february 2009.
