Pugita Update
Battlestar | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 02:35 pm  Copied from BigBrotherwatchers@egroups.com So many Chiquita fans! I just wanted to give you an update on Chiquita Pugita... Here's the story: As a story editor on Big Brother, I helped bring Chiquita into the house and was the person that kept the closest eye on her for the duration of her stay there. Not only did I have her for a short time before she even entered the house, but I also took her to the vet on several occasions during the run of the show, and took her home when they re-sodded the back yard. Every time we took the dog out, I explained to the House Guests exactly why we were taking her and what special care she might need upon her return. By the time the show ended, Chiquita recognized me from each time she made a trip "out." So the good news is, Chiquita didn't go to complete strangers. As many of you observed, she was a bit taken aback by the doggie door and the camera in her face during the live show, however, I think she was happy to see a familiar person come to pick her up. She was also a bit overwhelmed by the crowd gathered to greet her outside of the gate, but as soon as we went back to the bungalows, she was back to wagging her little tail! I'm sure Chiquita will miss all of the HG's and her time in the BB house(especially the camera pole in the yard!), however as I write, she is playing with our other dog, Ali and seems as happy as ever. She is adjusting exceptionally well to her new environment. For all of those concerned, Chiquita will be well-loved and is now finally living in a permanent home where she will be pampered as a big TV star pug should be! (Plus... all of the 10 HG's have an open invitation to check in on their little foster pug whenever they like!) BTW, it's nice to see that Chiquita has so many concerned fans!

Chiquita was reunited with each of the HG at the wrap party and went CRAZY when she saw them! |

Fruitbat | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 05:57 pm  Thanks Battlestar. I loved this. I never travel around to different sites for news and appreciate those who bring the info back here. This was great. I did notice that she seemed very happy to see her new owner. Much tail wagging. I was wondering if they would bring her to the wrap party. So nice to close that chapter. What a precious, wacky little dog. |
