This chihuahua that we are fostering must have some kind of split personality. For one minute she'll be all "oh, love me, pet me, rub me" and all that, and the next minute she is off in the corner blaring her teeth and growling at us. What gives dog? We've started giving her the nickname "Jekyl/Ms.Hyde" depending on her personality at the moment.
We've pretty much established that this chihuahua does not get along with our white dog, actually it's more like the other way around. The brown dog doesn't seem to have any ill will towards her, but the white dog either sees her as a threat for attention's sake (flashback to when we had the ninja dog?), or sees her as a rodent for him to chase. It takes a bit of coordination whenever we want the chihuahua to get some "roaming around time," because we need to put our dogs somewhere else, and away from her. They take turns with us, more or less, and it seems to be working out so far.
There are signs that this chihuahua has hope for getting acclimated to a new home, but whoever ends up with her is going to have to work hard for that to be a success. Maybe her new owners will be able to exorcise Ms.Hyde from Jekyl.

haha is she only mean with the other dogs around? there's gotta be a reason *scratches head*
@kalamai - Not really when the other dogs are around, as we do keep them separated from each other. She's mean quite randomly, especially when she is in or by her crate (I know that a territorial thing).
@patrick005 - ohhh icic
