🎃🐾 THE WAIT IS OVER… THE SECRET IS OUT! 🐾🎃
Remember that BIG Halloween surprise we’ve been teasing? 👀🤫
Well… we’ve been keeping a little secret.
And when we say little, we mean SEVEN POUNDS LITTLE! 😂❤️
After weeks of keeping our mouths shut, we’re FINALLY ready to share the news!
🐾 OUR FAMILY HAS GROWN BY FOUR PAWS! 🐾
And with that, we’d like to officially introduce the newest, smallest, and quite possibly most spoiled member of the Board Witt Us family!
💕🐾 MEET FANCY! 🐾💕
👑 Introducing Fancy — Junior Management, Professional Lap Warmer, Chief Snuggle Officer & Tiny CEO in Training! 👑
🎂 Age: 6 years young
🐕 Breed: Chihuahua
⚖️ Weight: A whopping 7 pounds!
🏡 Official Gotcha Day: October 7, 2026
❤️ Rescued From: All the Paws Animal Rescue
🐾 From Alabama to Her Forever Home
Fancy’s story didn’t start with fancy clothes, soft blankets, or being carried around like the royalty she clearly believes she is.
Her story started in a hoarding situation in Alabama.
We don’t know everything this little girl experienced during her first six years of life, but we do know that she deserved so much more.
At six years old, Fancy found herself needing a fresh start. A chance to experience what it means to have a family, a home, and people who will love her unconditionally.
On October 7th, 2026, thanks to All The Paws Animal Rescue, that fresh start finally came. ❤️
And just like that, our lives changed by seven tiny pounds.
🏡 The Journey Home
Before we even picked Fancy up, we’d already started preparing for her arrival.
One of the first things we bought her was a little bed of her very own. Nothing extravagant. Just something soft, warm, and comfortable that would belong to HER. ❤️
And on the ride home, that’s exactly where she stayed — curled up in her brand-new bed, sitting in Daddy’s lap.
Little did we know that this bed would become one of her most treasured possessions.
To this day, it’s her safe haven. Her comfort zone. The place she retreats to when the world feels a little overwhelming.
And honestly? We don’t blame her.
After everything she’s been through, having a place where she feels safe means the world.
But the sweetest part?
That little bed wasn’t just something we bought for her. It was one of the very first things waiting to welcome her into a life where she’d never have to wonder if she belonged again. ❤️
She may not have known it on that car ride home, but she wasn’t just riding to another temporary stop.
She was finally going HOME. Forever. 🐾💕
😂 The First Few Weeks… OH, WHAT A RIDE!
Now, we’d love to tell you that Fancy’s transition into our family has been nothing but sunshine, rainbows, and peaceful snuggles.
But that would be a LIE. 🤣
Let’s just say this little girl has experienced more excitement in a few weeks than most dogs probably experience in a year!
🐾 Incident #1: Mommy accidentally stepped on her tail. 😭
Listen, when you’re only seven pounds and constantly underfoot, being small comes with occupational hazards!
🐾 Incident #2: While being passed between Jeremy and one of our boarding clients, Fancy decided she was apparently qualified for flight school.
She was NOT.
Thankfully, the unexpected jump didn’t stop her from wanting to be held approximately 23 hours and 59 minutes a day. 😂
🐾 Incident #3: Grandma and Grandpa discovered that Fancy is exceptionally talented at convincing people she hasn’t eaten in DAYS.
Unfortunately, their generosity resulted in one extremely overfed Chihuahua and a very unhappy little belly. 🤦🏼♀️
🐾 Incident #4: We’ve discovered that when Fancy gets constipated, she doesn’t believe in suffering silently.
Her little belly gets bloated, she gets uncomfortable, and does she whimper?
Nope.
Does she whine?
Absolutely not.
SHE SCREAMS. 😳🤣
And when we say screams, we mean the kind of scream that makes you question whether you need a veterinarian, an exorcist, or both!
Needless to say, we’re learning all about this little girl’s digestive system, her dramatic tendencies, and just how much personality can fit inside seven pounds.
But through all the adjustments, little mishaps, and occasional chaos, she’s doing wonderfully.
💕 Learning What Forever Means
One of the sweetest things about Fancy is watching her try to figure out how our household works.
You see, here at Board Witt Us, dogs come and go.
Some stay for a day. Some stay for a weekend. Some stay a little longer.
And Fancy is still trying to understand this whole arrangement.
One day, she has several new furry friends around her. A few days later, they’re gone.
Then more show up!
We can only imagine what’s going through that tiny little head of hers.
“Where did they go?”
“Why are there so many dogs?”
“Am I supposed to leave too?”
And while she can’t tell us what she’s thinking, we like to believe she’s slowly starting to understand something very important.
She’s not one of the dogs who’s here temporarily.
She’s not waiting for her next stop.
She’s not being passed along to another home.
This IS her home.
And no matter how many dogs come and go through Board Witt Us, Fancy gets to stay.
Forever. ❤️
That’s probably the part of this whole journey that means the most to us.
We get to be the people who show her what forever feels like.
👑 From Rescue Dog to Spoiled Royalty
Now, don’t let that emotional story fool you.
Fancy has wasted absolutely NO time taking advantage of her new living arrangements. 😂
In just a few short weeks, this seven-pound princess has acquired:
🎃 A Halloween sweatshirt.
👻 A Halloween T-shirt.
🧥 A cozy fleece vest.
💕 A hands-free sling so Mommy can carry her around while still pretending to be productive.
🛏️ Her very own cherished bed, which continues to serve as her personal sanctuary.
And, of course, unlimited opportunities to be held, cuddled, admired, and told how adorable she is.
At this rate, she’s going to need her own closet before Christmas. 🤦🏼♀️🤣
And Daddy?
Well, let’s just say he’s not exactly helping us enforce any boundaries.
She’s got him wrapped around that tiny paw just as tightly as she’s got Mommy.
🥔 A Girl of Many Names… and Questionable Table Manners
Now, Fancy may be her government name, but around this house, she already answers to a couple of aliases. 😂
🥔 TATER TOT: This nickname was earned on NIGHT TWO of living with us.
That’s right. Less than 48 hours into her new home, this tiny criminal decided that whatever Daddy was eating looked better than her own dinner.
And before Jeremy knew what happened, she had STOLEN a tater tot right off his plate! 🤣
Six years old. Seven pounds. Two days into her new life.
And already committing grand theft potato. 🥔🚨
Needless to say, the name stuck.
💕 LITTLE BIT: Well… this one doesn’t require much explanation.
Have you SEEN her?!
Seven pounds of Chihuahua, approximately three pounds of ears, and the rest is attitude. 😂
Whether she’s Fancy, Tater Tot, or Little Bit, one thing is certain…
She knows exactly who runs this household. And it isn’t us. 🤦🏼♀️❤️
🐾 Fancy’s New Role at Board Witt Us
As our newest furry employee, Fancy is still learning the ropes.
She’s observing the daily operations, monitoring our boarding guests, and trying to figure out why management keeps allowing random dogs to come into HER house.
Her big sister Faith is helping show her the ropes, while Galinda continues to remind everyone that seniority matters around here. 👑😂
We’re giving Fancy plenty of time to settle in, build confidence, and discover her place in our very busy little family.
She’s learning that not every new face means change.
Not every goodbye means she’s leaving.
And that even in a house where furry guests come and go, there’s always a place that belongs to HER.
❤️ Sometimes the Smallest Things Take Up the Biggest Space in Your Heart
We didn’t adopt Fancy because we needed another dog.
We adopted her because somewhere in Alabama, a little six-year-old Chihuahua had already spent far too much of her life without the kind of home every animal deserves.
And we had room in our hearts for her.
She’s not perfect.
We’re not perfect.
Our first few weeks have definitely been a learning experience for everyone involved. 😂
But that’s what family is.
Learning each other’s quirks. Adjusting. Making mistakes. Growing together. And loving each other through all of it.
Fancy may only weigh seven pounds, but she’s already made an enormous impact on our home.
And while we may never know everything about her first six years, we do know one thing.
The rest of her story will be filled with love, security, ridiculous outfits, warm blankets, and a family that will never give up on her. ❤️
She doesn’t have to wonder where she belongs anymore.
Because she belongs right here.
With us.
