Couldn't sleep either? Hi. Itsy (bonded with Bitsy 83571) here.
I'm small and skittish at first, but once you earn my trust, I'll shower you in gentle love-bites and cling to you like the best book you've ever read—especially if my brother Bitsy is curled up beside us.
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I've been holding down the fort in Oakland, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Itsy (bonded with Bitsy 83571)

About Itsy (bonded with Bitsy 83571)
Itsy (8 pounds) and Bitsy (10 pounds), the Black Widow Boys, are a pair of strongly bonded Chihuahua boys. Much like nature, they are more afraid of you than you are of them, but once they trust you, they have the most infectious love-bite that will keep you snared in cuddles as often as possible. They are basically twins and noted to have bonded very strongly; they only wish to be together forever. They are both very well behaved and will only bark briefly when they are startled, but are easily calmed when you talk to them (even from another room), give them affection, or use redirection. They spend most of their days playing with each other and their toys, but love it even more when you join in; otherwise, sleeping comfortably on the sofa with blankets or sunning on the patio in their pen is where you can find them. Currently they are making good progress towards complete house training, but unsupervised without access to the outside pen (where they have learned to use their potty pads) is still a trouble spot.
