Then Suddenly… Puppy!

Reader Faye writes: “Hi Mike, totally unexpected puppy. My friend volunteers at a shelter. She texted me at 1:00 Sunday. I had the puppy home by 3:00! She comes from Dog Island in Puerto Rico. She is nine weeks old. I named her Baby. Nobody expects the Hispanic Chihuahua!”

    Hi All. I know everyone at Cutetropolis can imagine my joy.

    Name Change! Milagros. Millie for short.
    Thank you Mr. Mike for posting Millie’s picture. Love the hover!!!

    Not even 24 hours and I have almost 100 pictures.

    • allein ? November 21, 2016 / 11:10 am

      I like Millie πŸ™‚

      • Faye November 21, 2016 / 11:14 am

        Thank you! She came with that name. It took me a bit to realize it was for Milagros. That she got to me is a miracle for sure.

        • Jakepets November 21, 2016 / 12:11 pm

          And if you teach her to tap dance in an elevator, she can be Thoroughly Modern Millie! Miracles abound. Congratulations on your new family member. I will TRY to not be envious!

          • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:00 pm

            Thank you!

    Wow, Faye! Unexpected puppies are the best kind.

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 11:15 am

      Evidently.

  5. Birdcage November 21, 2016 / 11:13 am

    Woah!!!! Chief among its weaponry is SURPRISE! That’s a powerful cute puppeh, Faye! Congrats!

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 11:16 am

      Birdcage. Yesterday I was channeling Merlin. “What’s going on?!” Thank you!

  6. Murray C. November 21, 2016 / 11:17 am

  10. Gigi the cat lady November 21, 2016 / 12:15 pm

    You had your Christmas miracle early Faye, little Millie is a beauty!
    I love black and white dogs. Does it make me a bad person if I say that I am so envious of you right now? But I’m very happy for you too.

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:04 pm

      No you are not bad. I know the feeling too well.
      A Miracle for sure. ?

  13. benvolio November 21, 2016 / 12:25 pm

    Congratulations on the new arrival! And may I just add, “Totally Unexpected Puppy” would make a great band name.

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:05 pm

      I’m tuning up my guitar now. Thank you.

  14. ffleur2 November 21, 2016 / 12:40 pm

    sweet, sweet, sweet. Love little Millie Bean. (all little doggies should be called “Bean” right?)

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:06 pm

      Ah. Miracle Beans. ?

      • Jakepets November 21, 2016 / 6:33 pm

        Are Miracle Beans the ones where YOU eat the beans, but the puppy toots? No wonder everyone always blames the dog! “-)

  15. Emsthemonster November 21, 2016 / 12:50 pm

    Congratulations Faye, Millie is beautiful!

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:06 pm

      Thank you.

  16. Amyliz November 21, 2016 / 1:06 pm

    She is a little sweet pea, Faye! I’m happy for both of you!

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:32 pm

      And soft. Thank you.

  17. AJ November 21, 2016 / 1:21 pm

    Mazel Tov on the new arrival!! Absolutely darling, I’m ded from Millie’s cuteness.

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 1:33 pm

      Me too AJ. My life has been hijacked by the cute.

  18. jerzowa November 21, 2016 / 1:33 pm

    Oh, Faye! Millie is GORGEOUS!!! What a cutie-pie! Congratulations to you both!

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 2:15 pm

      Thank you Jerzowa.

  19. Smartypants November 21, 2016 / 2:19 pm

    Faye, are you sure she didn’t really spring from the beard of a kindly Grey Fox? πŸ˜€

    Congratulations! She is precious!

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 3:42 pm

      Shhhh. He just left. ?

  20. Phred's Mom November 21, 2016 / 2:21 pm

    Congratulations, Faye and Millie.
    Faye for picking Millie, Millie for picking Faye.
    Karma, ya know.
    Milagros esta muy bonita. Los ojos!
    Ella sera bien por tu, Faye, y vice versa.

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 3:46 pm

      Muy bien. Phred’s Mom.

  21. Julie November 21, 2016 / 2:35 pm

    CONGRATS!!! We are so happy to welcome Millie to Cutetropolis!!!

  22. Julie November 21, 2016 / 2:37 pm

    “Nobody expects the Hispanic Chihuahua”

    LOVE IT!!!

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 3:48 pm

      I can see the Pythons holding up Chihuahua puppies. Thank you Julie.

  23. Claire November 21, 2016 / 2:40 pm

    Ooh now we get to watch both Millie and Lily grow up! What precious Cutetropolis mascots!

    • Julie November 21, 2016 / 3:13 pm

      Faye – you do realize that we are now expecting weekly Millie PupDates.

      You may need a bigger memory card on your phone.

      • Julie November 21, 2016 / 3:18 pm

        Like, seriously, I have 1,000+ pics of my dogs on my phone. It’s embarrassing when I try to show someone a pic from my phone for business purposes and I have to scroll through 100’s of dog photos to find the one non-dog photo.

        • Faye November 21, 2016 / 3:49 pm

          I just created a separate album. How did you know?

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 3:52 pm

      Yes! Millie, Lily and assorted rabbits. But I am sure Merlin was our first mascot. I know Merlin could give Millie a run for her money. But Lily on the other hand looks pretty feisty.
      Thank you Clair.

      • Jan November 21, 2016 / 6:32 pm

        I’m sure that Millie will get her feisty on in no time! Totes adobes!

        • Faye November 21, 2016 / 9:05 pm

          Lily is going to outweigh Millie I’m sure.

          • Birdcage November 22, 2016 / 8:41 am

            Merlin only gives a pup a run for its money in the speech area. This morning, Merlin was ticked with me as I got ready for work super-early so he asked me “Wanna come, Mommy?” and I had to say, “No. Merlin has to stay home.” To which he replied, “Want Grandma!” My mother would be pleased with this stated preference. Alas, I admit my feelings were a bit hurt.

            • allein ? November 22, 2016 / 8:44 am

              Your Merlin stories kinda make me want a talking bird…

              My neighbors might object…

            • Faye November 22, 2016 / 9:36 am

              Birdcage, everyone has this fantasy about their dogs or cats etc. being able to talk.

              I don’t know if I could really handle having a conversation with (another) dissatisfied sentient being in my life!

              Amazing. Sometimes I wish for Grandma too. Lol.

              My new catch phrase about life has become Merlinized: “What’s going on?!” These days that seems about right in every situation. Great t-shirt slogan.

  24. Brouhaha November 21, 2016 / 5:39 pm

    this is MUCH better than salad! (suddenly salad? never got it…)

    SO adorbs!

  25. Dulcie November 21, 2016 / 6:41 pm

    Oh wow how does that just happen??? I want it to happen to ME!! What a sweet sweet little miracle. Milagros and beans = the movie “Milagro Beanfield War”. Totally off rail but that’s what goes on in my head…

    • Faye November 21, 2016 / 9:08 pm

      Hi Dulcie! It was out of my control. Lol.
      I’ve been corrected. Female = Milagra. But it is Millie.

      I remember that movie. Loved it. Hmmm Miracle Chihuahua Toe Beans!

  26. sugitomo November 21, 2016 / 11:55 pm

    Squeeeee!! Adorable!

    • Faye November 24, 2016 / 7:07 pm

      Thank you.

  27. Ricky’s Mom November 22, 2016 / 10:44 am

    Congratulations on the adorable addition to your family! What a sweet face!

    • Faye November 24, 2016 / 7:07 pm
