Jewels is a beautiful chocolate colored, female chihuahua.    She is somewhere between 5 to 6 years old, and weighs 13 pounds.    She gets along well with other small dogs, or would be happy as an only dog, also.    She gets VERY attached, and insists on sleeping curled up next to you at night.    She may growl at another dog, if she is getting attention, and another dog approaches, but she gets over it very quickly.     Jewels is timid with strangers, and would do best in an all adult home, that is experienced with chihuahuas.   She would not be a good dog for a first time pet owner.    She had something pierce one of her eyes in the past, but this has now healed.    She has a tiny scar on one eye. but can see perfectly fine out of it.   She  just had her teeth cleaned, and also had a CBC (complete blood count) done.    All came back normal.   Jewels will be a wonderful companion for someone that is more "low-key".    She is not necessarily a lap dog, but always wants to be sitting right next to you....a great TV companion.
