Twinkie is an 12 year old chihuahua. Twinkie is very food motivated. She loves car rides and would probably make a great traveling companion in an RV. She does like to be warm so she would be happy going south for the winter. She likes to burrow under the covers and actually has a slumber sack that she sleeps in at night.

Twinkie loves to hang out in the kitchen if you are there….never know when something valuable might fall! She eats dry kibble with some pureed pumpkin in the morning and at night kibble with Honest Kitchen slurry alongside. She likes vegetables and fruit, especially bananas, frozen blueberries and pineapple. She will dance on her hind legs for treats. She recently had a dental and likes to chew bones even though she does not have a lot of teeth left due to poor dental care when she was younger.

Twinkie likes to go out and explore outside and uses the dog door. She likes walks but goes slowly so she can do a lot of sniffing and marking. Twinkie has lived with many dogs since she has been in her Furbaby Rescue foster home and gets along well with all of them as long as they don’t try to take her food.

Twinkie has shown interest (not aggressively) in a cat when first meeting one but after that, she ignored the cat and now lives peacefully with him. Twinkie still is quite active as long as you don’t expect her to keep up with a fast mover. She moves at her own speed. She is a low maintenance companion. She may appreciate a home as the only dog so she receives all of the attention but it’s not mandatory.

Twinkie is posted for Furbaby Rescue. She is in a Furbaby Rescue foster home in Bellingham, WA.
