She's the most playful of the litter! The first to start manipulating objects (aka picking up toys), seeking her mom out to play instead of just to nurse, & to play tug with people. I initially claimed her because her color is objectively the prettiest, but now she's growing into the exact temperament & personality I want, so my brother will have no choice but to place her with me! 😈

Always on my last nerve, but I would trade him for the world. 🩷

This is a sad post, but we've made peace with my mom's final days. I just wanted to share Loki's precious interactions with my mom.

Loki has always been sweet to my elderly mom, even though he can be a butt to everyone else. When my mom first declined 22 days ago, Loki would go into her room with me, but he wasn't overly interested in what was going on.

In the last few days, he started putting his paws on the bed to look at my mom. Last night, he started whining and jumped up on the bed. In 9 years, he's never jumped up on my mom's bed. He sat there for about 30 minutes watching her intently. He senses something I can't. I think he's telling me she's close.

Guide her well, sweet Loki.

The puppy from my brother's litter that I've claimed. She was the first born, first to bust out of the whelping box, & is the most beautiful in the litter. Her temporary name is "Hibiscus" because my brother did a "tea" theme but her name is clearly Forklift.

Hey everyone, I’m unsure if this is a question for female dog owners in general but since we only have a xolo, I’m curious if others have experienced the same?

Our girl is 3 going on 4 years old. When we initially got her at 7 months old she had a peeing problem but we attributed that to her being nervous in a new space and new owners. Eventually she acclimated and the only accidents we would see is if we decide to greet her after coming home, she will excitedly pee everywhere.

This past week we have been seeing that she’s beginning to tinkle a little without realizing it until we tell her to go outside and she scampers off to pee. Also she has peed while sleeping twice already which prompted me to take her to the vet (pictured above). They did a urine test and ruled out a UTI, and the vet mentioned that when female dogs are spayed, it’s similar to going into menopause, so they can become incontinent. Is this really a common thing? If so, how have you managed to tackle this problem? We feel bad that she can’t sleep with us anymore, but I would also like a piss-free mattress.

I’m working on a series of tarot that intertwines Alice in Wonderland and Mayan Folklore. The fool can represent a journey, new beginnings as well as act as a warning. I wanted to depict xoloitzcuintles, canines that were at times buried with their owners, believed to serve as guides to the underworld, guiding Alice towards said new beginning. Could it be a journey to death itself?

Hope you like it! I am Mexican and have always wanted my own Xolo, too bad I don’t live in Mexico anymore! I wanted to depict them with all the love I have for them <3

My xolo mix has red bumps that I believe is from dry skin. What products or regimens should I start with him? We've been doing coconut oil (the vet recommended this) and just Vaseline on his neck or parts be can't really lick....I don't feel like its helping. Also included pics of the dogs whole body so you can see what I'm working with here.

4 hairless and two coated. Xolo mom wanted to be in the crate since she was getting frustrated with the puppies.

I’m currently pretty ill both physically and mentally and I’m worried about how it’s effecting my baby. She’s still well cared for and even if I can’t do something, I have family that will pick up the slack when needed. The thing is I know she worries about me especially when I’m having a bad flare and I don’t think that’s good for her long term health. I know she’s technically “just a dog” and likely cant form complex thoughts but I feel like my depression is rubbing off on her. Like she sleeps when I sleep and maybe even a little more than me. I sleep anywhere from 15-19 hours a day (not consecutively) so that means she’s sleeping for like 90% of the day and that can’t be healthy. She doesn’t seem restless or stressed so how do I know if she’s okay? The pic is your reward for reading my rant ♥️
