Rattlesnakecol2w I said goodbye to my chihuahua today. She was 12 years old and very sick so although I was expecting it , it still hurts. Why rattlesnake? Well, she was a chihuahua from the southwest and rattlesnake was the nickname of my first chihuahua-Poquita. The nickname turned into her given name. What a sweetheart, even throughout her recent battles with diabetes and blindness during the last year. She spent a lot of time at mom and Toms house, and they gave her pleanty of loving care in her last months. Goodbye Rattlesnake.
