Boing the chihuahua gives Williamsport family LOLs

September 8, 2012

We decided to get a chihuahua puppy a while ago from a couple in Trout Run. We have had chihuahuas for many, many years and would never go without one. We also have two other chihuahuas, one is 5 years old and the other is 7 months old.

This puppy is different, though. On the day we got him, my husband, Tom, went to get a bowl of cereal from the kitchen. The puppy kept jumping as high as he could onto him.

We both said, "boing," "boing," "boing" - he was so funny! So, "Boing" became his name. He knows it too, when we say, "Boing," he comes to us.

LOL! He won't go down steps. He will stay at the top of the stairs and wait for us.

He has a squeeky toy that looks like a squirrel that he likes us to throw for him. We say, "get your squirrely," and he goes and gets it and brings it to us.

He loves tiny T-bones, carrots and Meaty Bones.

When someone new visits us, he will make a screaming sound, but will become friends quick.

Boing will be 1-year-old in November. We are thinking about having a birthday party for him. Any ideas?
