As some of you may already know...I had to rehome Chunk.
His condition declined rapidly, and I could not fund the couple grand it would've taken for testing, let alone a cure for his ailments. I was devastated, hurt, felt I was failing him. I spent days searching for someone who COULD afford to take care of him, who had the finances.
Chunk now lives with a married couple who have no kids, and have the money to give him the medical treatment he needs. So for that, I am thankful. But at the same time...I hurt. I miss him very much, was depressed about it. Spent days just moping and being a debbie downer.
....Mom found me this cutie, trying to help brighten me up and take my mind off Chunk. We drove almost two hours to get him. He is a mere 2 pounds right now, is only 12 weeks old so he has some growing left to do (thankfully, way too tiny!)
He is a pure bred Chihuahua just like Chunk, long hair. Though no one can ever replace Chunk in my heart...Widget takes the sting away at least a little, and keeps my mind occupied even while I work on commissions. Yes, not even work was enough to keep me from missing Chunk. And I still do. I don't know if I'll ever really get over him.
Widget is named after the little accessories/software you can have on your computers and smartphones. Yes, I am that much a dork. We call him "Widgie!!!" and he gets all excited and wiggly. So adorable.
Thank you to all that helped me financially with Chunk, I wouldn't have been able to keep him as long as I did without your support! You guys rock!!

You know what sweety?
I think your an incredibly brave and loving person to go out an find a home for your baby like that.
You not only did the right thing.. But the thing any great parent of a lil fuzzy should do.
And now you will be able to give your love to a new lil fuzzy & give them the same loving home as the other.
So adorable.

You're a very strong, brave pet-parent to have been willing to take the pain of loss over the discomfort and ailments of your pet-baby. That is commendable on a level I can't even imagine. I am so proud to know someone like you, who's truly willing to put the wellbeing of a pet over their own. You are a rare breed, my friend. Take pride in knowing that you did something so many could not. That is such a touching story, and I wish you and "Widgie" a bright and happy future together. You're both amazing.
