Letters to CheeBah- The day were born.

Published

I met your parents Mia and Dakotah on a cold February Sunday.  I knew instantly when your dog momma couldn’t stop putting her paw on me, letting me know she approved of me having one of her babies.  I already had the deposit check written out and gave it to the breeder, Cheryl.  She said births would happen around the end of March and the beginning of April, so I patiently waited for the call.

On April 4th, 2015, you and your siblings came into the world, and I couldn’t wait to meet you.  CheeBah you had one other sister and four brothers.  Sadly, your sister didn’t make it, and her name was Hope it was then I knew we were destined to be together as I was the only girl with two brothers and two male cousins that were my dad’s twin brother’s boys; we were all very close. 

Cheryl was awesome allowing us pawrents weekly visits (pre-pandemic) so we could bond with our furbabies.  Week 1, you were black and white with a dot on your head (that’s how you got your middle name, Dotti). Week 2, I was able to hold you and give you kisses as you can see in the pictures I took of you, nothing could stop your growth and markings started to form.  Week 3 you knew your name and got a wiggle butt going when I can to get you out of the whelping box.  You would hug my arm as I talked to you and give you more kisses, letting you know you are a good girl. 
Week 4 you were walking around with confidence not wanting to hang out in Kaos that a few of your rumbustious brothers were causing; wanting to explore the world around you.  Week 5 more of your makings developed, and your bark was growing, still loved hugging my arm.  At 7 weeks I picked you up and took you home, you loved the car ride and had no fear just an inquisitive nature to explore what was around you.  It was Memorial Day weekend, and we continued to bond over that weekend,; I introduced you to my family and friends.  Your first pup friend was Elli, and you loved him right away even though he didn’t care for you and snapped at your face.  You thought that was love and changed that old pup’s heart.

Letters to CheeBah- the Beginning

How I decided to get you.

CheeBah I am writing these stories of our adventures and wanted to share with you how I decided to bring you into my life.  It started with Uncle Kevin bringing home Bigsley( a Bow Tie Black Great Dane), and Uncle Tommy bringing home Bandit (a mixed pup with a little bit of everything).  These were known at Aunties Boys, and I would spoil them every time we gathered and Grandma and Grandpa’s home for the holidays.  Then I realized I wanted a furbaby and started researching what kind of Pup I needed.  Due to my condo restrictions on dog size, I chose the Corgi breed.   After a lot of searching and finding the right breeder, I came across your mom Mia, and dad Dakotah.  Funny looking back on it now, but your mom picked me and knew she had the perfect baby for me.  So, I put money down before you were born and patiently waited for you to enter this world.  You got your mom’s ears, markings, and love of people; from your dad, you got his head, smile and OMG you are my best friend to anyone that came to our home.

Bandit and Bigsley- AKA Aunties Boys

CheeBah- Daddy Dakota- Mommy Mia



CheeBah your name came from a few places; I loved the movie Sand Lot my favorite phrase in the movie was, “You are killing me, smalls!”  and my love of my Boys – Bigsley was a large dog, Bandit, and a medium-sized so why not a small dog.  I googled Welsch for Small Dog and Chia Bach is the original spelling of your name, but Uncle Kevin kept calling you Chewbacca, so I changed the spelling to CheeBah making it easier for people to pronounce.  Well to my surprise CheeBah is known as a herbal that people wrap up to smoke and relax from daily stresses.  It took me six months to realize this and laughed at people’s expressions when I told them your name.  I don’t look like a herbal smoker.. LOL
