So, the other day Maxx was suggesting that if Elf doesn't smarten up and stop chasing the cats (setting Imp off ... we've realized that often it is Elf starting the rucus, he just doesn't bark as much), we may need to consider re-homing him. One of our co-workers has another chihuahua, and when she met Elf she wanted to take him home with her. We're thinking we will arrange some play-dates with Bugsy, and see how they get on, and then maybe arrange a couple of over-night play-dates and full weekend play-dates to see how they go. We were told that Imp and Elf were bonded when we adopted them, but they spend a lot of time wrangling, some of which isn't quite playful (hence how Elf got that cut on his eyelid a couple of weeks back), but we want to be sure that if this happens, neither one of them do show separation issues.
We'll see. I know poor Elf is low man on the totem pole here, but he is loved, and he is a really sweet little character, who just wants to snuggle up with a person and be loved back.
