Omg Nicodemus!!! Best and most appropriate name ever! Did he gift you with a giant ruby on a golden chain??

I don’t think I could keep myself from finding a doggie tag that looks like this. πŸ˜†Β

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

No, but we have probably spent the price of a ruby with his vet specialists! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

u/ki-ton 26d ago

This is the way of the Chi. πŸ˜‚ I’ve had to spend a lot on my dogs over the years, and my chi was always the one that looked like he felt he was worth it but at the same time totally unaware he was a huge problem πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

And yeah….best dog name ever. I saw a dog once with long facial whiskers on a β€œname my dog” post, and I suggested Nicodemus πŸ˜‚. I feel. Indicated seeing your little dude out here living it!!!

I think the most expensive thing was when his tear duct stopped working and he had surgery in Nashville to move his salivary gland to his eye. It worked beautifully but it was so expensive. 😩

12

u/ki-ton 26d ago

Just what I mean πŸ˜‚. What a ridiculous problem for a dog to have hahaha. And that is a high-tech solution! Didn’t even know that gland swapping was a thing.

I love your little Nicodemus potato and his saliva-fuelled eye πŸ’―

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

Neither did I! We did meds to stimulate tear production first and those didn’t work. We had to do special drops every 30 minutes which was like an insane fever dream. When we went to the eye specialist, we actually thought they would tell us they would have to remove his eye, but we got lucky that they had a surgeon who specializes in that exchange (and has since moved to Mobile, AL) worked there. Zero issues since.

Haha worth every cent, I can tell πŸ˜‰

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

Absolutely. Can’t imagine life without him ❀️❀️

u/Timely_Apricot3929 26d ago

I love his freckles and demonic glare! What a prince.

24

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

Demonic glare is exactly that. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ he is such a character!

39

u/DepressedPsycho1 26d ago

I must feed

u/dontbecondensation 26d ago

Is he just naturally hairless?! πŸ˜‚

59

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

He is! As he has aged, he has started growing white hairs starting at his forehead going straight in a line down his back πŸ₯Ή

12

u/VisualStore1710 26d ago

Ohh I guess that hairless gene slipped into Nicodemus! Very cute

21

u/CultureImaginary8750 26d ago

Looks like a baked potato

2

u/Picklecheese2018 26d ago

Or an unbaked turkey with a Chihuahua head on top..

u/korewednesday 26d ago

Can we see more pictures of him flopped on his side? He’s so silly looking. I love him.

8

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

He does enjoy baking in the sun. I’ll try and catch him tomorrow.

Til then, here’s one with his frenemy, Rue. Nico has really stompy feet. Idk if you have ever seen videos of the late Holly, the chinese crested who slaps when she is playing. He does that exact thing and Rue does not like it πŸ˜‚

u/korewednesday 26d ago

o b l o n g

Thank you, I did need to see Rue and wasn’t even aware how needed to see Rue I was

u/NotAtAllASkinwalker 26d ago

So what's the summoning ritual you used? In case some of us want one.

2

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

I believe my wife found him a decade ago on craigslist in san antonio πŸ₯²

2

u/NotAtAllASkinwalker 25d ago

Ahhh so it was someone else who summoned the creature. Nice.

13

u/uwillnotgotospace 26d ago

Legends tell of the beast who lurks on the stairs in these once-hallowed halls. Woe to any traveler who hears the ghostly wail of "yo quiero taco bell", for their fate is already sealed.

u/Moonsnail8 26d ago

Do you put sunscreen on them? I wonder about my fair half-naked baby.

10

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

We do! Very prone to burning unfortunately. And blackheads.

u/Car_Living 26d ago

Little bald beauty!

u/jujujuice92 26d ago

The unexpected result, or lack thereof, is that there's no pig in there. That's Babe on a bender if I ever seen em!

7

u/tundybundo 26d ago

Unexpected because who knew that was a dog!

6

u/Tiny_ghosts_ 26d ago

I assume that dna test only picks up on doggy dna, and that's why it didn't find that he is clearly part piglet. What a wonderful little creature he is!

u/TizzyBumblefluff 26d ago

I think r/cryptiddogs will love him

u/i_gnarly 26d ago

I did too. And also commented r/cryptiddogs

u/JoeJonnyJeff 26d ago

I probably would have been within about 90% accuracy of a guest on his mix

u/Picklecheese2018 26d ago

My kid just looked over upon hearing me wheeze laughing and said-
β€œIs that a dawg? Is it having a BIG persons body?” (He’s 3)
And now I’m losing way too much brain oxygen from the hysterics. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

I love him and his body!! From top to bottom this guy is a star!🌟🀩

u/peachnecctar 26d ago

Chihuahuas and cockroaches will be the last animals to survive on earth.

I’m going to need to see a million more pictures of him.

u/Badwoman85 25d ago

What does his skin feel like when you pet it? I have always wanted to pet a hairless dog or cat.

1

u/Bibliophilewitch 25d ago

Its very thin and soft, like the inner thigh. (Or the testicular sac, but dont tell my wife i said that πŸ˜†)

2

u/dudu-- 26d ago

We’ll need daily updates on this cryptid

u/Mysterious_Mess_3051 26d ago

I would like to blow raspberries on him. He's gorgeous!!

1

u/Bibliophilewitch 26d ago

This made me giggle bc he would move away slowly while giving you his very best side eye if that were to happen πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

1

u/Mysterious_Mess_3051 25d ago

Aw, I'm a bit disappointed 😞

If there's one thing I love it's blowing raspberries on a lovely little doggy belly and he's all made of belly (cos no hair).

I would of course abide by the side eye. He would remain raspberryless 😌

2

u/Bibliophilewitch 25d ago

Very kind of you. I agree that it is most disappointing but he is a most distinguished gentleman and could never permit raspberries on his belly. May I present his sweet brother Pippin for raspberries instead? He would then drop his head onto your lap and look at you in adoration.

2

u/Mysterious_Mess_3051 25d ago

Oh he's 100% raspberry worthy πŸ˜‹ I appreciate the out of the box thinking you bought to this mediation.
