Chihuahua’s are the smallest recognized dog breed and yet they often pack the most attitude. The little dogs are ideal for people who don’t have that much space at home and since they’re very smart, they’re easy to train. As diminutive as they appear, Chihuahuas can be quite aggressive and are usually protective of their owners.
Bill and Dawn Slater know what it’s like to share their home and hearts with a Chihuahua. They are the proud parents of Coco, a little Chihuahua that made history back in 2011. It all started when the couple noticed that Coco was pregnant. Although the animal lovers already had a couple of cats and a Collie Terrier, they were more than happy to add even more fur babies to their animal family.
When the Slaters brought Coco to the vet for a routine checkup, they also wanted to make sure she was okay since her belly seemed to be massively swollen. After examining her, the vet reassured them that Coco was perfectly healthy and expecting five puppies. They brought her home and made her as comfortable as possible since she was due to give birth any day.
When the delivery day did come, they were more than ready and excited to meet the new pups. Hours after she had first gone into labor, Coco had given birth to five puppies. When the fifth one came out, the Slaters thought she was done but then they noticed that another baby was being born! Surprised and happy at the unexpected extra puppy, they thought once again that surely this must be the last one. But just a few moments later Coco proved them wrong and gave birth to a seventh, then an eighth, and ninth puppy!
At this point the Slaters were extremely worried about their little Coco’s health. She was such a small dog to begin with, could her body handle such an intense labor? The average litter size of a Chihuahua is 5 puppies and she was well past that. Even for a large breed dog, having any more than nine or ten puppies is high risk. The ninth one she’d given birth to wasn’t doing well either, he needed to be revived after his bag had burst. While they were dealing with him, Coco delivered a tenth puppy!
Fortunately for Coco and the Slaters, the tenth one was also the last one. They managed to revive the ninth one and it had no further issues. In fact, all 10 puppies were found to be in excellent health and although she was exhausted (who wouldn’t be), Coco survived. She also ended up achieving a Guinness World Record for most puppies delivered by a Chihuahua when she had her 10 babies. Who knew such a tiny little dog had it in her!?

The Easiest Way To Get Rid Of Mosquitoes. This Simple Trick Will Save You This Year!
For people (and animals!) who live in areas where they are active, mosquitoes can become almost unbearable. But only the female mosquitoes bite – they are what are called ectoparasites, which means they are parasites that live on the outside of their host. They use their exposed, elongated mouth part, called a proboscis, to suck the blood from a host like a syringe.
The loss of blood is minuscule and has little effect on the host, but the saliva of the mosquito irritates the skin and can leave the bitten area itching for days. Worse yet, mosquitoes act as vectors for disease, meaning they pick up the disease from one host and carry it to the next. The most common and dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses include malaria, yellow fever and west nile virus.
Mosquitoes go through various stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult. It takes approximately 40 days for the insect to go from egg to adult. Once they reach the adult stage, the males live about 5-7 days, while the females can live for 1-2 weeks.
During their adult life, the females seek a host in order to get that sweet, tasty blood. Once they have achieved their goal, it takes them a day or two for digestion and growth of eggs, which they lay in stagnant water. They then seek another host and repeat.
Now that you know more than you ever wanted to know about mosquitoes, watch the video to find out how to trap them in order to avoid the negative impact their day to day lives have on ours! How well did the trap work for you? Any hints or modifications that you found were especially helpful? Tell us in the comments.

Everyone Thought THIS Dog Was Guarding Her Humans Gravesite. But Then This Rescuer Discovers an Unthinkable Secret!
image via – youtube.com
A little while back animal lovers across the internet were moved by a sweet photo that went viral. The picture was from Serbia and depicted a german shepherd lying at a grave. Many thought it looked like the dog was grieving for his deceased master. However, something about the photo was not quite how it appeared.
Science has confirmed that dogs can actually feel love for you as they have the intellect equivalent similar to a two-year-old. Since dogs can love, is it possible that the dog was truly mourning? Possibly. There are certainly examples of dogs doing the same thing in history. One animal rescuer was not fully convinced.
Vesna Mihaljoski investigated the grave. Upon arriving, she confirmed that the dog was still at the grave. She looked closer. First, she noticed that the dog was actually in a hole that it had dug beneath the grave. Second, she was actually cuddling a litter of puppies.
The real reason that the dog refused to leave the grave was now clear. She had dug a den to protect her puppies. Luckily, Mihaljoski decided to adopt the mother and her pups. It turns out that the dog wasn’t mourning at all. With that discovery, the story turned from a tragic one into a happy one!

She Uncovers An Ancient Relic On Her Lawn. But She Picks It Up and Realizes It’s Moving!
image via – youtube.com
You never know what you might find when you go digging for buried treasure. Some people have made some truly amazing discoveries over the years and even struck it rich unearthing priceless artifacts. There are many areas known for possibly having buried treasure and hidden relics, and one such place is a town called Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire, England. It was once a Roman settlement and was the location of a historic market, as well as being an evacuation center for British people over the years.
One of the town’s residents, Lynne Garner, owned a sizeable piece of property and from time to time she and her husband would look around for buried treasure. One day they had been digging near a rockpile in the back garden when she spotted something unique looking among the stones. It was a dark brown lump and upon closer inspection they realized it was a tiny little hedgehog!
Hedgehogs are common in the area, but the one they found was not normal looking, which is what threw them off at first. Instead of having a body covered in spines, he was mostly bald and exposed. They rushed him to the local vet, A120 Veterinary Surgery, where doctors diagnosed him as having alopecia. They explained that it had likely been brought on by trauma the poor little guy had suffered in childhood and that a normal hedgehog would usually have around 5,000 spines. The stress from whatever he’d been through caused him to lose his spines and that left him extremely vulnerable to predators and the elements.
Now that Lynne knew what the little animal’s problem was, she set out to help him heal. Thankfully she is a seasoned wildlife rehabilitator, so she brought him back to her center and named him Derek. Other than his spine issue, Derek also had an infected wound on his back from a suspected bird attack. After she treated the wound Lynne needed to find him a temporary home where he could relax, roam freely, and stay warm. It also needed to be escape-proof and a woman named Monique had the perfect spot, her heated and enclosed greenhouse. That would be Derek’s home for the next couple of months or until he’d recovered enough to make it on his own outside.
Besides special living accommodations, Derek also received oil treatments and probiotics to boost his health. Soon his spines had started to grow back and he was much more active and happier. In fact, he managed to re-grow almost all his spines instead of just some as is common in most cases of alopecia! In the end, his swift recovery was nothing short of a miracle and while he may not ever be an outdoor hedgehog, he’ll always have a home with Lynne.

Mother Is Very Concerned That Her Baby Keeps Vanishing From Her Crib. She Sets Up A Hidden Camera and Caught THIS!
image via – youtube.com
As soon as a parent has a child, the maternal and paternal instincts kick in almost immediately as the safety of their baby becomes the number one priority in their life. Whether it’s a top of the line baby moniter, the best baby seats in the car, safe pacifiers that can’t be choked on and basically baby proofing the entire house and anywhere else their child will be. The constant worry about your child’s safety becomes an everyday struggle that almost all parents face 24/7 365! With all that being said it brings us to today’s story which features a baby Houdini who somehow keeps disappearing from her crib every night!
For a newborn baby infant to a toddler a safe and secure crib is one of the biggest necessities in any household. Not only does the crib provide the ultimate security for the new baby but it also give new parents peace of mind so they can at least get a little bit of rest and sleep at night. Mother Nina and Father Chris of Phoenix, Arizona are two new responsible parents, who have gone through every step to make sure their baby daughter Chloe is safe at all times. For the first 14 months they faced the same challenges most parents do, with having to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby when needed.
Like most parents out there, they were completely exhausted from only getting a few hours of sleep every night, but that was to be expected and they knew it was all par for the course. However when baby Chloe turned 15 months things began to take a very strange turn no one ever could’ve predicted. One morning mom woke up early to prepare breakfast and get some coffee brewing when she thought she heard a strange sound coming from the family room.
She walked into the room half asleep and thought she was hallucinating! She saw baby Chloe on the floor playing with her toys! She was stunned because her husband was still sleeping and she knew that she didn’t pick up baby Chloe from the crib and bring her into the family room. A sense of panic, dread and fear quickly came over mom as she couldn’t understand how this could even be possible…
Nina picked up her baby ran into the bedroom and woke up her husband Chris and told him what happened. He was just as startled as she was, so they went into her room and began to inspect the room to see if anything was out of place, if she could possibly of fallen out of her crib or somehow escaped… Nothing seemed weird or strange and the bed was completely undisturbed. The mystery of how baby Chloe ended up in the family room playing with her toys was only just beginning.
Not only did it seem impossible that she could get over the crib railing, but she wasn’t possibly tall enough to open her door and exit the room! What in the heck was possibly going on here?! They had more questions and literally no answers! They racked their brains and thought maybe they just didn’t close the door all the way and by some fluke she somehow got over the crib railing and headed for her toys. They decided not to make too big a deal out of it and went on with their day as per usual. They figured it was probably only going to happen once and they would make sure everything was secure every night from here on out.
The next night they turned the volume all the way up on the baby monitor just in case anything were to happen again. They secured baby Chloe in bed and made sure nothing was out of place. Within hours after putting their child to bed they heard strange sounds coming from the baby monitor at around midnight. They jumped out of bed ran to her room and to their surprise Chloe was out and about again this time in the hallway running around looking like she was having the best night of her life!
The parents were now starting to freak out, they sat baby Chloe down and straight up asked her how she was escaping her crib and getting out the door. Instead of answering, baby Chloe just giggled, laughed and wouldn’t give them a straight answer! Now this began happening every night and her parents began to go crazy trying to figure out how this was happening and more importantly they were truly worried about Chloe’s safety. The worried parents couldn’t sleep at night anymore because they were so scared during one of Chloe’s escape excursions something tragic was going to happen to her.
They decided to pick up a hidden security baby camera so they could finally get to the bottom of this strange baby Houdini disappearing act that was haunting their world. They went out purchased the camera set it up in the room and then waited to see if the mystery would be revealed! That night again they were woken up by the sound of the baby monitor and Chloe running around have a grand old time. This time though they were prepared as they grabbed the camera and reviewed the footage….
