. . . or was she a Father’s Day gift?
She doesn’t have a name yet.
And Tulip doesn’t seem to mind a bit.
But how can there ever be a better pooch than Tulip?
Whatever her name is, she weighs about as much as the large frog in our pond and will only get to be about 5-6 pounds. Tulip is 8 pounds.
She is a long-haired Chihuahua. They are non-yappy and not nervous.
Viva Zapta!

Mark, She is adorable! She is a rose for sure, in my book at least. And how fun that Tulip doesn’t mind a new family member! My take on this is – Tulip is a flower that grows in the spring and rose is a flower for June and summer. So you would have a flower for each season (this allows you to look at names like Pumpkin for fall and Snow for winter if you add more dogs to your family- tee hee). Her sweet little tongue is going to give you warm doggie kisses and is so rosey pink that I think the name Rose (or Rosey) is meant for her. Whatever you call her she is just too cute!

She is cute like a petunia…. and she could always be Tulip’s pet.
Mark, she is definitely adorable, whatever name she becomes. She is sure to blossom into a beautiful dog.
